I was referred to David Gould from one of his clients, who used him for multiple closings. In my own matter, he was excellent with the details. He found some things in a contract that would have really caused us a problem had we signed without his thorough review. I am planning to use him again in the near future for our next closing. I have worked many years as a legal assistant for another firm, and I know a good attorney when I see one. I highly recommend Mr. Gould.

In addition to handling our family's legal matters, Mr. Pratt came to my rescue when I received a phone call from a "Bucks County Sherif," claiming there were warrants out for my arrest if I did not pay the fine in full that same day. I freaked out. Richard received a call from my father, turned his car around from his drive to Philly for an event and made sure I was not in fact a fugitive with 3 different police departments. He then personally called me and put my worried mind at ease. Who does that on a Friday night? Richard Pratt. Become part of his family, the way mine has.

In May of 2016, I consulted with Mr. Brooks on the possibility of him representing me at a hearing specific to a security clearance investigation being adjudicated on my behalf. He was very clear on his fee and was direct on what he would provide for me as my attorney. I hired Mr. Brooks, even after consulting with an attorney who 'specialized' in the type of hearing I was to have. Mr. Brooks was extremely professional and competent in the matter telling me exactly what I needed for him to proceed possibly eliminating the need for the hearing at all. In early September of 2016, I was informed by Mr. Brooks, and by the Department of Defense, that their need for clarification on concerns they had was satisfied, and a hearing was not required. I received formal notice from the DOD cancelling the hearing. I strongly would recommend Mr. Brooks and if necessary, would use his services in this, and other legal representation matters.

Well I don't know where to start to express how pleased and excellent LEGAL SOLUTIONS and what they represent. The dedication to their clients and concerns is over and beyond any service. My husband and I had the pleasure of having attorney Jacqueline E. Alexander, Esquire to represent him in a child custody case that we thought would be a nightmare. To say attorney Alexander dependable, helpful and dedicated to her clients is an understatement. First my husband had a complex custody case in which attorney Jacqueline E. Alexander Esquire was a superhero at making the case fair and acceptable to both parties. She fights for her clients until the very end and makes sure her clients’ concerns are addressed. From the beginning to end she was very detailed and informative, which most attorneys are not due to busy life in court, or the case is not reviewed in time. Every time I needed her, she either called me right back or picked up the phone to talk with a positive demeanor and attitude. She is up front with no hidden agendas and always makes sure her clients are in the loop. Her representation is A1, and she is a beautiful person inside and out. We were amazingly blessed to hire her as my husband’s attorney. We are pleased and will use her service if needed in the future. Thank you so much attorney Jacqueline. You rock!!!

Legal Solutions, specifically Ms. Alexander, handled my divorce with the utmost professionalism and compassion. The firm believed in me when other firms would not. Throughout the ordeal, I was treated with dignity and respect by the entire team. Ms. Alexander, in my opinion, went to great lengths to endure that I was heard. I highly recommend this firm to anyone needing representation. You couldn't be in better hands!

Working with Scott was a pleasure and the man, not only cares for his clients, but even in my own aggravation and my own self doubts and concerns with the corporation we were making demands with, he was more than respectful to me, as well as the opposite party. His demeanor is excellent, I couldn't have hired a better person to represent me. Scott taught me things I'll remember for awhile, the bond between an attorney and client who never even met in person was the most comfortable, and heavily appreciated experience I had in a matter like this so far. He advised me about protecting my cats, and made sure I knew I'd be alright if I chose to go another way. It was well worth the retainer fee, his dedication and persistent responses are to be appreciated. This is an attorney that won't put your thoughts last, and won't ignore you. When he has a system going, he keeps it going. Even when I made mistakes myself, he was just as respectful after, and as Scott says, lessons are learned.
This is an attorney you can build a great relationship with, and always know you're in good hands. He helped me, he helped my ESAS, and he did it in such a short amount of time. Make sure though, you let your attorney know what your wants are, don't change stuff up later, he's definitely on the ball, so give him the same respect if you hire him.
Thank you very much Scott, for a pleasant, and trustworthy, straight forward representation.
You have my thanks, as was previously discussed. :).

I'd use him again in a second, he's my guy, for sure!

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.
