Sarah Dill exudes persistence, poised advocacy, collective resolve and astute attention to detail in the midst of competing interests. She calmly exhibits her wealth of knowledge for her various subjects fields while maintaining a focus on the client's position. She explains legal concepts cohesively and rationally for anyone to understand. As my former law school classmate and as my title attorney representative who sold my parent's home, I could not have asked for a better attorney than Sarah. I put my trust in her to complete my parent's home closing after 40 years under their care, and if I can do that, anyone should be willing to give her a chance at representing them! I would give 1000 stars if I could. Thank you Sarah.

I was in a car accident where I was hit from behind and unfortunately suffered from a neck injury. I have never worked with a lawyer prior to this. Being a bit novice to the situation, I know I chose the right lawyer for the job. Mr. Hernandez's concern was my health and well being. His commitment to his clients are above par and made the experience a pleasant one. He kept me in the loop and explained the process step by step. I am beyond satisfied with the work Mr. Hernandez did. I recommend his law firm to anyone who is in need of a lawyer that actually cares for his clients.

The Hernandez Law Group represented my girlfriend and I when we were involved in an auto accident where we were hit from behind. Mr. Hernandez is a true professional and has a huge heart. Not only did he work hard to get things done; he was always concerned about our well-being and healing process. Professionally, what we appreciated greatly was his direct and honest communication on how the process would unfold and kept my expectations realistic in terms of timing and potential monetary compensation. He never mad a promises he could not keep and his work ethic was unmatched. He did the very best that he could do in behalf of us, his clients, and got an outcome for much more than we expected. He made the experience as comfortable for us as possible while taking care of business. We highly recommend the Hernandez Law group and would rehire him again without a second thought!!

They are very professional and knowledgeable, and they helped me obtain a quick settlement. They kept me updated on every move associated to my case, explained things to me that I didn't understand, and advised me wisely for a favorable outcome. I received one-on-one personal attention, and they turned this scary moment in my life into a pleasant experience. I am particularly thankful to Mr Henrichson and his registered paralegal, Sian Gonzalez. I have the comfort of knowing that I had the best legal representation.

Hired this man to represent my family and at first he seemed so interested giving us false hope telling us our case was a win as soon as he got paid he vanished would call his office and never got an answer, he didn’t work on our case properly, didn’t gather evidence nothing! His secretary who is his sister would answer only when she wanted to and would always say he’s not in office or is out of town. He was never in town. Worst mistake was to hire this guy and pay so much money for nothing. Would call and text his phone and never get a response. Don’t waste your time the second you pay him he disappears

Horrible!!! I paid for a contract which they claimed would take 10-15 minutes to complete, since it is something that can be completed super-fast. We then received a call 3 days later and they stated that they could not complete the contract but that they could not return our money back because they had worked on it. Are you kidding me??? They claimed that their time is valuable, but what about my time? I paid for “Professional” services but I got the most unprofessional treat, it’s been almost 2 weeks and I Never got at least an apology from this guy or the contract I paid for. I ended up doing the contract by myself. I do not recommend this business at all!!!!!!

Around 2016 I was represented by Mr Reynaldo Ortiz when no other attorney would even do more than hear me out. I was discriminated and terminated from a for profit nursing program when I was two weeks from graduation and passing my courses with As and Bs. All because the director of nurses had something against me. As a mother of 6 children, I went door to door and phone to phone calling attorneys across the valley to explain how I was wronged. Nobody thought I had a case and Mr Ortiz saw the injustice and fought for me. After a year long battle and arbitration suit I won against that school. It was such a relief to not be in debt $13,000 to a school where I was denied my rights to graduate as a vocational nurse. I had to start from scratch at STC and gladly graduated as an RN May 2021.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
