이종원변호사님이 정말 친절하시고 잘해주세요. 교통사고로 뒤차가 제차를 받아 폐차하였는데, 상대방운전자는 경찰을 부르지 말자고 하였지만 응급실에 가고, 그리고 당시에는 나타나지 않던 증상이 있었어요. 미국 생활이 힘들기에, 사고후 현기증과 구토증상을 무시하였어요. 목도 끝까지 돌릴수 없었구요. 그냥 물리치료도 받지 않으려했는데, 변호사님이 반드시 받아야 한다고 하여 받았는데, 몸이 엄청 좋아졌어요. 스테로이드 주사도 2회 맞았습니다 그래서 목도 끝까지 돌릴수 있구요. 그런데 역시 교통사고 후유증이 그당시에는 구토나 현기증이 있어 몰랐는데, 사고후 그게ㅠ없어지니 8개월 즈음에 목에 통증이 있더라구요. 지금은 목에 통증만 조금있지만 목은 잘 돌아 갑니다. 다시 한번 변호사님의 깔끔한 일처리에 정말 감사합니다. 한국분들께, 강력추천드립니다. 감사합니다

My family was involved in an auto accident. De'Anne was very persistant with dealing with the insuarnce company and fighting for my family. She was dilligent about communicating and keeping us informed throughout the process. She was knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable in light of the situation. Thanks to her persistance the insurance company paid us the max on the policy! We would definately refer her and utilize her services again!

I utilized De'Anne during the acquisition of my first business location. During the initial startup phase, I had the assistance of my business partners, a real estate agent and several others; however, I needed the assurance that only a proficient legal professional could provide.
Prior to her managing the legal matters of this business transaction, I had the opportunity to observe De'Anne's work ethic and I believed she was the ideal person to oversee the legal aspects of this business contract. Days after hiring De'Anne, she proved to be better than I expected. She did not just review the legal parts of the transaction, she fought for better terms, less ambiguity and favorable exist options.
De’Anne’s exceptional service was priceless. Closing the deal was not important to De’Anne. Her unmatched creativity, perseverance and due diligence would only settle for best business and legal terms. Her service was and continues to be a critical part of our success.

I have used De'Anne on multiple occasions to help me with legal issues regarding my business. I first met her when I took out an equity line on my home. I was so impressed by her combination of professionalism and warmth that I knew I would go to her in the future for any legal needs.
When I started my business, she represented me through all aspects of the legal process. Because my business type was not currently allowed in Georgia, I ran into difficulty getting licensed by the state of Georgia. I hired and attorney who advised that I sue the state and he charged me thousands of dollars. The result was disaster and completely jeopardized any chance of success.
De"Anne stepped in and rebuilt the relationship on my behalf, resulting in the state of Georgia changing the rules allowing my company to get its license.
I rarely give five stars to people, but if I could, I would give her six.

I am a licensed Real Estate Agent and more importantly a REALTOR in Georgia and use all of the closings that I have control over with Steve Emert. Most attorney's are hard to get on the phone and bill you for every little minute you speak with them or for every task they handle for you. Steve offers sound legal advice and charges fees once you decide to move forward with a legal matter. He offers a very fair rate for Real Estate Closings and has a Title Company that keeps the client protected long after they purchase a property. He is also conveniently located next to the Mall of Georgia which is convenient for me and makes it very easy for clients to find when they come to the closing. I have had nothing but praise and compliments from my clients about Steve and his staff. I hear all too often complaints about larger Attorney firms who drag their feet or pass a client file around to multiple staff persons. Steve has figured out how to manage multiple closings without confusion or delays.

With my experience in this field, I guide them choosing an attorney who is certified in real estate law, making sure that he or she have extra training and experience that specially qualifies him or her to handle all aspects of real estate transactions. Pilar Gigante is the right attorney to assist you with the real estate transactions.

Selecting her, and her as Partner – Retail Closing Division of McCalla Raymer, LLC, is the right choice . My clients have had good experiences, and the buying or selling process is a smooth one.

Attorney Valerie Sobotta and her legal team are among the best in the area when it comes to immigration. They have helped us through a very lengthy and challenging process of getting the green card for my brother and me. Our cases were definitely not a typical immigration case and we had a fair share of the USCIS not getting their acts together. But Attorney Valerie Sobotta and her paralegals (especially Ms Hoa) were really helpful along the way, always giving us great advice and always on top of things. They are dedicated, patient and understanding people. Just know that if you come to here for help with immigration, you're in good hands!

Highly unprofessional & misleading attorney. Do not trust Kham Law if you are selling a property & they are representing the buyer. They will use anything against the seller in the best interest of their client (the buyer). I provided them everything in good faith & paid expedited fees to have HOA provide them all documents & yet they charged the seller for the HOA transfer and initiation fees, when per law it’s always the buyers responsibility. They never asked about it up front, despite being well aware an HOA is involved. When I called for clarification, Donnie hanged up on me saying “he only represents his client”. Well said & well played Kham law, choosing to remain silent so you could use this in favor of your client. Donnie is very unprofessional and Kham Law will rip you off where they can for a matter of pennies/dollars.

Mr. Raines spent time listening to my concerns and created a solution specific to my needs. Everything was done via the internet so I could remain safe at home during quarantine.

I contacted Thomas Raines a few weeks ago to get a will, power of attorney and health care directives for my wife and I. Thomas responded immediately explaining the process and options very patiently and professionally. In a very short time he provided all the documents and plan to have them finalized. I would definitely recommend the Thomas Raines attorney team. Reasonably priced and efficient as well.

I went to Tom for advice about creating a revocable trust and a will. He was very patient listening to what I wanted. His explanation of how the trust and will needed to be constructed was thorough and easy to understand. When it came time to file various documents with the court, he and/or his para legal Kelly either filed the documents on my behalf or made it very clear what I needed to do. Tom also explained the importance of a Power of Attorney and a Living Will and created those for me. Another family member has since used his firm and was very pleased. I always felt his firm was interested in what was best for me and not how many hours they could charge. I will use Tom for every legal matter that is within his area of expertise

This attorney was assigned as a public defender, hasn't answered phone calls or emails for over 3 months. Three days before special hearing on the court calendar, he quits, without any notification. We can't get our vital paperwork back because the guy won't answer phone calls or return emails. I've tried to contact him at least 35 times over 3 months. He doesn't demonstrate any care for a client, no professionalism or ethics. I wouldn't recommend him at all.

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.
