Nabeel did an incredible job representing me. I received a favorable outcome on my second DUI, much better than I had expected. He was extremely communicative and responsive. Always answered all my questions and concerns. He is very knowledgeable about the law, and can explain to any one with simple English what the infraction is and what the possible outcome can be. I am satisfied and I Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for outstanding representation.

I highly recommend both Dave Benowitz and Rammy Barbari at Price Benowitz LLP. These two attorneys represented me on a challenging financial-related criminal matter. They were extremely professional, very thorough and compassionate, and had strong relationships across the court system that helped ease navigating some challenging charges. The outcome was the best scenario possible and will help me and my family put this behind us forever. I cannot thank this team enough for their persistence and thoughtful efforts to achieve the best result from the court. I would trust Price Benowitz with any criminal matter, any day, at any time, in the future and highly recommend them to anyone else finding themselves in a terrible situation where reliable, honest, and hard-working attorneys dedicated solely to your interests are needed.

Paid for a 30 minute consultation for legal advice only to be misled by a false hope and given vague information about currently changing laws. Then gave a retainer of almost double the regular cost and find out on my own that her idea was mission impossible.

I highly recommend Attorney Ammerman's services if you are going through foreclosure, financial and/or bankruptcy issues and don't know how or where to start. Attorney Ammerman is amazing at what he does and provides great service at a reasonable price.

I found out that the apartment I lived in for 2.5 years was rent controlled and wasn’t registered with any governing body as a legal apartment. I was charged far in excess of the allowable rent for the apartment the entire time I lived there and was facing a judge that told me that rent control no longer existed in DC so I didn’t really have a case.
Enter: Marc Borbely. He’s a compassionate person who understood my struggle and put a thorough and amazing amount of work into meeting me where I was financially and helping me with every step of my case. As a black woman going up against white housing providers I truly didn’t expect much from this case, but I kept going anyway because I didn’t want the property owners to feel like they could get away with what was clearly shady and dishonest activity. I am so happy to have had Marc in my corner for this experience! In the end it all worked out and I know those property owners will think twice before being dishonest with their tenants again. I would work with Marc anytime!

Richard provided me with clear and precise advice on handling a problem I encountered during the closing of a real estate sale. He was highly responsive and answered all my questions thoroughly. Given the time-sensitive nature of my issue, Richard went out of his way to accommodate my schedule and address my concerns. Few attorneys would extend such efforts for a new client. While hiring an attorney can be costly, Richard's services were worth every penny. I would certainly hire him again and will refer others who may need his expertise. As an attorney myself, I am happy to share that Richard conducted his service to the gold standard that attorneys should strive to maintain. Thank you for your help.

Mr. Sternberg did an excellent job educating me on the different paths forward and how his firm's experience and capabilities could assist me. He also advised me on methods that would be less complicated and cost-effective. The consult was worth every penny.

I paid a retainer for consultation and the drafting of a letter of reply to a not-for-profit organization that was attempting to collect on a claim of a twenty-year-old debt incurred in a European country. Mr. Sternberg took the full hour to listen to my situation and position on the matter, answered all my questions, and left me with a sense of confidence that he was experienced and capable of legally handling my matter. His assistant, Mr. Martz, drafted an eloquent and robust response, which the other party continued to dispute, and I have retained their firm for whatever come next.
I greatly appreciated their responsiveness; they were timely and set up the first consult within a few days of contacting them and the letter they drafted was sent out in a business week. I also felt that they listened to me and took the time to explain the matter to my satisfaction. They often caveated their statements, as many legal matters cannot be fully defined, it depends on a multitude of controllable and uncontrollable items, and they were diligent in ensuring that they understood what I could expect and what the most likely (but not guaranteed!) outcomes would be. Lastly, they took the time to reach out when this process was upsetting or making me nervous and ensured that we were progressing in a manner that was organized, coherent, and deliberate as opposed to making hasty, snap judgements.
I would unreservedly recommend Mr. Sternberg for anyone that has a civil matter involving real estate and international law.

I am grateful for the opportunity to have a couple of consultations with Natalie. She was extremely knowledgeable and helped with my situation. I was new to speaking with a lawyer - and was very nervous - but Natalie made the process easy. She was well prepared for both calls and made me feel comfortable and confident in the process. I recommend Natalie. Her team was also very responsive and which helped ease my nerves when working with a lawyer.

They were well organized and incredibly experienced in dealing with government security processes. I am incredibly glad that they were recommended to me. I felt like they truly cared about the success of my case. They took the time to understand me and why this case was so important to me. They were able to offer insight that I was never given from a previous firm. They understand their expertise and what I as a non-lawyer need to know and how best to relay that information. They were patient and responsive and I am so happy we were able to work together. Highly recommend!

Carl, I am writing tonight to express my appreciation of National Security Law Firm's expertise in defending people in the position I found myself in. I cannot help but to admit that I found myself really low in spirit as my whole livelihood was at stake. I took many abuses at work. However, on a lighter note, I just found out today, that I just got my clearance back. I owe it all to National Security Clearance Law Firm. Please, please extend my gratitude to your colleagues that worked my case. There is really no way to know how to navigate the various beauracracies that you have to deal with. I would call your law firm in a heartbeat if I ever have any issue again.

Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for the assistance that Mr. O’Brien and his team have provided me. Recently, I had to appeal a revocation of my security clearance and so I scheduled a consultation with Mr. O’Brien. After having talked to two attorneys prior, Mr. O’Brien impressed me the most, not only with his knowledge but also with the compassion he shared for my particular situation. My decision was made on the spot to retain National Security Law Firm for my case. Over the last few months I have worked with Janet Schnell, who assisted with obtaining necessary information for my appeal, and Luke Rose, who finalized the masterpiece. All communications were professional and Janet was always available to answer any and all questions that I had during the process. I can happily say that my appeal was approved and I could not have done it without them. If you’re looking for assistance, National Security Law Firm should be your number one choice!

Leigh is a brilliant attorney. She absolutely knows and understands tenant’s rights law in great detail. She’s an extremely good listener and knows how convey her client’s issues in a very clear manner.
I was in a situation where my health was being adversely affected in my apartment. For over six months my landlord would not listen to my complaints nor my requests. I met with Leigh about my case. She took time to explain to me the different options and possible outcomes. Throughout the process she was caring, direct and never over promised anything. But she delivered much needed help!
The same day Leigh intervened on my behalf with my landlord, I was released from my lease and able to move. My health has improved tremendously because of her help. I’m forever grateful to her.
I highly recommend Leigh to any tenant in need of assistance with housing and landlord issues. If I could give her 10 stars I would!

Hi, I was in an unusual situation with finding out who my biological father was in 2015, he passed away in March 2024, an probate was open up in dc court for my dad by one of his other children which is my sister, she did not include me in anything. I reached out to attorney Sharron Legall, I explained my story to her, she listen to everything I said, she stated something’s to me that I needed to know, dealing with real life situations can be very emotional and hurtful. Attorney Legall is the best I understand I hired her to be my attorney but it also feels good when you know that she take her cases serious and she is honest upfront about everything , I’m happy that I hired her and if you ever need an attorney please reach out to her firm she will do exactly what you need her for, her and her staff is very professional. Thank you.

Eric and his team through the use of his legal acumen and the use of Ai and other technology achieve for me a result that was fair and balanced. He listened intently to my needs and concerns throughout the legal process and structured a settlement which allowed me to avoid lengthy and expensive litigation. He also structured the settlement in such a way as to ensure no future litigation and appeals could take place.
I am beyond happy and grateful to Eric Siegel and his team of crack lawyers. He worked long hours and tirelessly to achieve a successful settlement. He was available 24/7 as he advertises and has intimate knowledge of the legal system and how to achieve the best result fairly and quickly.
He took over the case midstream which is even more difficult and was able to grasp the legal implications and minute detials of the case within days of taking over.
He came highly recommended by my company’s counsel and I could not be happier for this recommendation. He is everything and more as a barrister. He get small details and leaves no issue unturned or to chance for the other side to contest. I was particularly impressed when he was able to settle the case when all winds would indicate that it could not be settled and litigation in court was the only option. He took over one failed settlement discussion and achieved a fair and balanced settlement within days.
As a client I am proud to say he is the finest attorney I have ever had the pleasure of working with and would happily recommend him to any person in need of legal representation from the most assertive and hardworking attorney in the metropolitan Washington area or any area for that matter.

One of the most honest and caring attorneys I have dealt with. I randomly choose Eric after so much disappointment from a previous attorney. He was able to somewhat turn my employment situation around. While the final outcome was not what I anticipated, my final settlement was able to at lease recover attorney fees.
If you are in search of a knowledgeable attorney who not only cares about your legal issues, but takes time to ask and care about your personal life, I highly recommend Mr. Eric siegel.

I suspect many are like me and when you're looking for an attorney (not related to routine business/personal matters), it's about one of the worst times in your life. There is so much uncertainty, anxiety and you want the BEST attorney to represent you. Someone that is going aggressively and steadfastly look out for your interests at every juncture, provide sage guidance and prod you when you need it and almost needless to say, be absolutely competent in their field. Eric Siegel delivered all that in spades. He worked tirelessly to move the case along to a final resolution (settlement). His attention to detail, his follow through, his confidant drive to win is exemplary.
My case involved a construction contract dispute that was just about to bankrupt me. Our family has worked with business attorneys in the past and while they were fine, I wanted someone of a different caliber. I spent an ungodly amount of time doing online research. I suspect many of us may find our attorneys this way when we're in dire straights. I hope my efforts will save you some time. My advice is close your browser, contact Mr. Siegel's office, you won't find anyone better.
Lastly, I was almost not going to contact him, because AVVO states only 5% of his practice is dedicated to construction. However his reviews were so good I made the outreach and good thing that I did. That 5% means nothing - he is so knowledgeable about the construction industry, contract law, homeowner's right, etc. It's as if 100% of his practice is dedicated to this arena.
Hiring Mr. Siegel was one of the best decisions I could have made in this case and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone that requires an attorney.

Ms. Axmith is a lawyer who most definitely stands out. I called her office to leave a message at 10 pm and was surprised to find she picked up the phone because she was working late on a case. She gave me some initial advice that put me at ease, and didn't charge any consultation fees. My initial impression of her is that she is a very experienced and no-nonsense lawyer who would go to bat for you if you were being threatened or intimidated. I really liked her from the get go because I felt she was on my side without judging me or making me feel small. I walked away feeling empowered and less befuddled. I would definitely recommend calling her if you are in a bind and she will help you or steer you in the right direction. All the best to you, your clients and your endeavors Ms. Axmith.

Outstanding! At my first meeting with Attorney Sokolow , I was informed of the different avenues my case might take. Attorney Soklolow and his staff kept me informed on every detail related to my case. I needed an attorney who knew Landlord and Tenant Laws for the District of Columbia. I had a tenant who refused to move from a property, I wanted to sell. In my case the tenant moved and and the home was sold. Without the knowledge and support of Attorney Sokolow, I know the result would have not been favorable. I highly recommend, Attorney Sokolow to landlords and real estate professionals.

He always recommended doing things right and not be afraid of the legal result. He proved to be correct each time. Plus he is a good person with a kind soul. Yes, we paid him much money but he delivered each time. I recommend him highly. Try other lawyers first. They will give you fluff but not Zion.

I was having an issue with my landlord trying to hold me to illegal lease clauses and other unethical actions after giving notice to move out. I hired Ms. Denny as D.C. housing law is complex. Ms Denny has an excellent knowledge of D.C. Housing law and is very professional. She researched the issues and handled all the communication. Her excellent communication skills and uncovering additional illegal actions swiftly brought an end to the matter. I highly recommend Ms. Denny and the D.C.

Cate did an exceptional job representing me and my wife in a tenant petition against a DC landlord.

Ms. Denny went toe to toe with the lawyer of the national luxury housing corporation of which I was a tenant of after my roommate (who was on probation for attacking someone and whom physically attacked my close friend numerous times) had threatened physical violence against me on recording. Under DC Code § 42–3505.07, the leasing office is required by law to release tenants who reside with someone who has harmed or threaten to harm them--however the lawyers at the leasing office would not recognize me under the law when I went about it on my own. After Ms. Denny got involved, the dispute was settled out of court within a couple short weeks (which had previously been going on for months) and I was eventually released from my lease at zero expense to me. I certainly would not have achieved that outcome without the help of Ms. Denny.

Start to finish - Jordan was great on my transaction. 5 months, 10+ loan documents, 10+ deal documents, and a couple last minute changes to all of them. He has great knowledge of what is "market" in the lower middle market, knows where to push, and negotiated both by my side and on my behalf. Generally just a great guy as well, which matters a lot when you are a small team! I continue to lean on Jordan and the team at Baker post transaction for all my legal needs.

Jordan recently helped me close a deal to purchase a business in record time. He works tirelessly to ensure that no detail is overlooked and is always on top of every change. We went through multiple rounds of negations and documents and at no point did Jordan lose track of anything. You could not ask for a better attorney to help you with any legal matter. I will be seeking his advice on any issues that arise in the day to day operations of my business for years to come.

From the time of my first meeting at the law firm of Tycko & Zavareei, I was truly impressed. I met with Jon Tycko and Lorenzo Cellini in the late summer of August of 2007 and, from that moment on they diligently proceeded with my case. At all times I felt as if I was the only client they were working with. Jon and his staff are truly professional and customer-friendly; the best I've ever experienced. Their "can do" and positive attitude regarding my case is what really got me through the tough hurdles that we encountered.
I must admit that I did not believe much in our country's justice system. But, after having the experience of working with Jon and Lorenzo, and the way they believed in me and my case, I must say that I was very pleased with the outcome. I would highly recommend the firm of Tycko and Zavareei to anyone.

My problem was decades old and I was unaware it existed until recently . Mr. Bianco was courteous and respectful . He helped me understand what I needed to get done and how he planned to help me. He was patient and was not overbearing. He kept things simple ( as I asked) and got it done in a timely manner. I was confident that if there were any problems, we would work them out together to my satisfaction. There weren't any problems and the outcome was exactly as I had hoped.

I was fortunate to have a chance to consult Richard on some complex "TOPA" (Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act) issues related to a real estate purchase transaction. I have no doubt his advice has saved me substantial time, money, and headache. Having worked with many attorneys before, I was extremely impressed with the depth of Richard's knowledge, his ability to focus clearly on multiple complex issues, and articulate the options and potential outcomes in an easily comprehensible way so that someone less familiar with the landscape could absorb and act on the insights he provided. All this was efficiently packed into a brief consultation--hugely valuable when your on the clock. I highly recommend consulting Richard on any matters within areas of his practice.

What a Real Estate Lawyer Can Do for You
A real estate lawyer provides legal assistance in transactions and disputes involving property, including residential and commercial real estate. Whether you're buying, selling, leasing, or developing property, a real estate attorney can help ensure that your transactions are legally sound and your rights are protected. They review contracts, perform due diligence, resolve disputes, and provide legal representation in negotiations and litigation involving property matters.
Real estate lawyers are crucial in safeguarding your investment by ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal real estate laws, as well as protecting you from potential legal pitfalls related to property ownership and transactions.
When Should I Hire a Real Estate Lawyer?
Hiring a real estate lawyer is beneficial in various scenarios, including:
- Buying or selling property: When navigating complex real estate contracts, it’s advisable to have a lawyer review and ensure that the terms are favorable and legal.
- Commercial property transactions: For leasing, purchasing, or selling commercial properties, a lawyer can help manage the intricate legal aspects of such transactions.
- Zoning or land use issues: If you're planning to develop property or change its use, a real estate lawyer can guide you through zoning laws and land use regulations.
- Resolving property disputes: For boundary disputes, title issues, or disagreements over property rights, a lawyer can help mediate or litigate the matter.
- Foreclosures or evictions: If you're dealing with foreclosure or managing a tenant eviction, legal representation ensures that the process adheres to local laws and protects your interests.
- Title and deed issues: Lawyers can help clear title disputes, ensure the legitimacy of property deeds, and handle transfers of ownership.
What Does a Real Estate Lawyer Do?
A real estate lawyer provides a range of services to help with property transactions and disputes, including:
- Contract drafting and review: Ensuring that purchase agreements, leases, and other contracts are legally binding, fair, and protect your interests.
- Title search and clearance: Conducting a thorough title search to ensure that the property has no legal claims or liens that could affect ownership.
- Facilitate closing: Managing the closing process in real estate transactions, including reviewing final documents and ensuring that everything is in order before the transfer of ownership.
- Resolve disputes: Handling legal disputes related to property ownership, boundaries, zoning, or tenants.
- Assist in financing: Reviewing loan agreements and mortgage documents to ensure the terms are fair and legally sound.
- Zoning and land use advice: Guiding clients through the complexities of zoning laws and building regulations for property development or renovation projects.
How Are Real Estate Lawyers Paid?
Real estate lawyers typically charge for their services in the following ways:
- Flat fee: Many real estate transactions, such as reviewing a sales contract or assisting with a closing, are charged on a flat-fee basis.
- Hourly rates: If a lawyer is handling complex disputes or litigation, they may charge by the hour. Hourly rates can vary significantly based on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Contingency fees: In rare cases, such as property disputes or claims for damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win or settle the case.
- Retainer: For ongoing legal support, some clients may pay a retainer, which is an upfront fee used as a deposit for future legal services.
It's important to clarify the fee structure with your attorney before hiring them to avoid any surprises.
How Much Does a Real Estate Lawyer Cost?
The cost of a real estate lawyer varies based on the complexity of the matter, the location of the property, and the lawyer’s experience. Key factors that affect pricing include:
- Type of transaction or issue: Simple tasks, like contract reviews, typically cost less than handling a complex property dispute or litigation.
- Experience and location: More experienced lawyers or those in high-demand areas, like urban centers, often charge higher rates.
- Billing structure: Lawyers may charge a flat fee for basic services like document review or hourly for more time-intensive work such as disputes or litigation.
Flat fees for straightforward services like closing assistance may range from $500 to $1,500.
Hourly rates can range from $150 to $400 or more, depending on the attorney’s experience and location.
Always discuss fees upfront to understand the overall cost of the legal service you're receiving.
Top Questions to Ask a Real Estate Lawyer
Before hiring a real estate lawyer, ask the following questions to ensure they are the right fit for your legal needs:
-
What experience do you have with real estate law?
Ensure the lawyer has experience in the type of real estate transaction or dispute you’re facing, whether residential, commercial, or development-related. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for services - whether it's a flat fee, hourly rate, or retainer - so there are no surprises later on. -
How long will the process take?
Especially important for real estate transactions or disputes with deadlines, ask for a general estimate of how long the process will last. -
Have you handled cases similar to mine?
Experience with similar transactions or disputes can give you confidence that the lawyer knows how to handle your case. -
Will you handle my case personally, or will it be passed to another attorney?
Confirm who will be handling the bulk of your case work, especially in larger firms where junior lawyers may take on some responsibilities. -
Can you provide references?
Speaking with past clients can give you insight into the lawyer's experience and how they handle cases.
How to Check the Credibility of a Real Estate Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a reputable real estate lawyer, take these steps:
- Check with the state bar association: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no disciplinary actions on their record.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on legal directories and platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell to see what past clients have said.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have past clients willing to share their experiences.
- Review their track record and expertise: Look at the lawyer’s website or LinkedIn profile for information about their experience in real estate law and any relevant cases they’ve handled.
- Membership in professional organizations: Lawyers who are members of respected legal or real estate organizations, like the American Bar Association’s Real Property Division, often signal credibility and expertise.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make your first meeting with a real estate lawyer productive, you should prepare the following materials:
- Relevant property documents: Bring purchase agreements, lease contracts, mortgage documents, zoning permits, or any other paperwork related to your case.
- A summary of the issue or transaction: Be ready to explain the situation, whether it's a property dispute, contract negotiation, or development issue.
- Questions about the legal process: Prepare a list of questions about how the lawyer will handle your case and what steps are involved.
- Financial documents or loan agreements: If the case involves financing or a mortgage, bring any related documents for the lawyer to review.
- Your goals and timeline: Be clear about what outcome you're hoping for, and if there are any deadlines that need to be considered, such as closing dates or legal filings.
By coming prepared, you can ensure that your consultation is efficient and informative, allowing you to assess whether the lawyer is the right fit for your real estate needs.
