Ken began representing my divorce case in February 2024. From beginning to end he was very detailed, professional & diligent to my case. He ensured that he would communicate with me through the entire process, and he did step by step. He made this process very stress free for me. The divorce was finalized way sooner than I also imagined! I would highly recommend Ken’s service to anyone looking for a divorce attorney, thank you Ken for everything!

Mr. White exceeded my expectations significantly, even though I already knew he was highly rated. Upon first outreach, he contacted me very quickly on a Saturday, which I was not expecting. Throughout the process, he provided me great peace of mind because I knew I could trust him and his expertise due to all of the positive reviews, but it was more than that. Divorce is a psychologically stressful process with naturally lots of difficult emotions, Mr. White’s persona could not be better for interacting with clients going through divorce. When you speak with him you’ll know what I am referring to within the first minute or so, he has a very calming and reassuring demeanor that always made me feel better after interacting with him. If you need an attorney, do yourself a favor and make sure you get a consultation call with Mr. White, you’ll know exactly what I’m referring to after you speak to him.

After being served with a temporary restraining order (TRO), I enlisted Paul Koutouzatkis and was thrilled with how the case concluded. His knowledge, experience, meticulousness, and grasp of the law transformed a potentially tough situation into a highly manageable one. As someone who rarely deals with legal matters, facing uncertainty in such a serious situation was daunting. However, Paul’s expertise offered me peace of mind and a successful resolution. I wholeheartedly recommend Paul to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation. Thank you for getting my TRO dismissed.

Ms. Shah handled my landlord/tenant matter where the tenant owed me a significant amount in back rent, late fees, damages, etc. Ms. Shah carefully and successfully retrieved all money that was owed to me from the tenant with precision and attentiveness. It is very seldom as a landlord to get all the money that was owed from the tenant but with Ms. Shah's expertise she made an incredibly frustration process very simple. She continuously followed up with the other side, answered all my questions and explained why and how we will proceed so that I understood. I highly recommend Bhavini to anyone who is having similar legal difficulties. I will be using her services again.

Bhavini Shah did a great job on my closing for my home. I was a first time home buyer and was very nervous about the process; Ms. Shah took the time to walk me through the process and answered all my questions promptly and explained anything that I was not clear about. I would definitely recommend to those purchasing a home, she will make you feel at ease and not so stressed ( we all know buying a home is extremely stressful). Again, she did a great job!

Rena Thakkar was phenomenal throughout our first home buying experience. She was on top of it all, and walked us through what the timeline was, and even sent us reminders to keep the ball rolling.
Rena negotiated and navigated the attorney review process with ease, leaving us with zero work to be done on our home based on the inspection reports. Her knowledge of real estate law and the process is superb, and I would recommend her to anyone interested in buying a property!

We sold our previous home recently and Alison represented the buyer. There’s a radon issue which couldn’t be resolved on time and therefore we paid a deposit to Alison’s account to have the transaction closed first. Alison’s paralegal was the worst at updating us in the progress (when Alison told us that someone would update us tomorrow, it never happened). Maybe it’s because Alison didn’t represent me. But communication with people on a case is a very important aspect of the job. That’s not how I would treat someone I work with (either with a shared interest or not).
Update: this paralegal called Donna said she only deal with my attorney, which is a funny way to evade from the fact that she's lazy and unprofessional. My attorney is a extremely good communicator, she passed along information whenever she got it. So basically the way Donna worked with my attorney is doing nothing - no update, nothing. And she sent out check in a plain envelope without any tracking, thinking her job's done when she shipped the check away. This person should be fired.

Alison and her team is AWESOME! If you are looking for a real estate transaction and an Attorney who would guide you right throughout the process, it’s Alison!
She takes time with the client and advises after keeping best interest of client as a priority. We went over couple of transactions with her team and even though first one was cancelled, her approach and priorities working with client did not change. We reached out to her multiple times with our questions and she was prompt in all her communications.
She is thorough in all validations and checks required to be done on transactions and we felt at ease throughout the process with her leading discussions with lender, seller attorney and real estate agents.
She would be out attorney in future for any transactions and I would highly recommend her for any real estate needs to everyone!

Without a doubt, I am fortunate to call this dashing lawyer a personal and family friend. Whenever we have any problem to be sorted out, we go straight to Peter. In an anecdotal reference, when my mother had to deal with unfair traffic ticketing, Peter had found all sorts of holes in the prosecution, proving my mother's innocence in the matter. She was so happy with his professional manner of handling the case, that when my younger sister had a traffic problem, my mother directly went to Peter to represent my sister in court. Once again, his thorough case studies and detailing went above and beyond our expectations, and incidentally the prosecution's as well.
Since then, he has helped in our cases of immigration, business, social security, and other matters dealing with the state laws. He is very courteous and friendly in the office, and reminds you always that he is on your side. Perhaps his humor is something to adapt to, but in a matter of a few meetings, you will find yourself splitting sides and jovial, with confidence that he really will pull through for you. In fact, just the other day I visited his office with a friend that was in all sorts of trouble. He was serious, but there was a twinkle in his eye that calmed the nerve of my friend very quickly, and he assured that he would be able to handle the case without a hitch. Since my family has witnessed his fire in court, I have no qualms to reassure my friend that Peter is indeed the real deal.
I have referred several friends to him, and not only is he very open, he is very reasonable with his rates. If Mr. Kollory is not your first stop, he will certainly be your last stop for legal matters in NJ. He answers calls within the day, and his professional manners have him placed at the top of his peers. I don't even think twice and remember to keep his business card on hand to proudly say, "I am being represented by Peter Kollory."

I hired Peter S Kollory to perform immigration and business service to my organization. He took the money upfront. He did not have a plan/schedule to complete the task on time as it was time based. He did not give any dates and deliverable's that he should perform based on my input nor gave a plan for me to deliver to accomplish his milestones. Because of his inability, lack of knowledge and experience our immigration petition was not filed before the 2013 H1B quota closed on April 05, 2013. He does not have any policy on communication and co-ordination. Phone calls and emails were not returned on time. It was a very BAD experience and lost time and money using his service.
I WILL NOT RECOMMEND HIS SERVICE TO ANYONE NOR WILL GO BACK TO HIM.

I can definitely recommend Mr. Peter Kollory, he is very good and knowledgeable lawyer, I don't know about other guy's review about Mr. Peter Kollory, all I know is I heard about his good reputation, his honesty and help to clients that was the reason I have approached him and carried away with the same impression, he did two H1Bs for me in very difficult times. The fees he charged are OK for me.

Working with this firm has been a breeze. From speaking with Stephanie to getting advice from Milan, I very much felt taken care of. Milan is really very knowledgeable and professional yet easy to work with. He described the process to me clearly, and walked me through the myriad decisions I needed to make. The final documents were meticulously prepared, and professionally presented.
Overall, it was extremely pleasant, and smooth sailing. Everyone I worked with was courteous, responsive, and timely. I would definitely recommend Milan C Patel.

I will start off by saying that he is a fabulous attorney and highly recommend him for any house closing. There was a situation where I missed something in the letter from seller's attorney where "Use of Occupancy" clause was written but not exactly where it should have been or I expected so, I missed it. Milan asked me couple of times that "do I agree with all the terms?" I said "Yes" every time during attorney review process. Finally, before sending it out to seller's attorney, he again asked me specifically about "Use of Occupancy" and that's when I saw the clause and then he suggested appropriate response as well otherwise, we would have been in trouble, if we would have gone by the condition put in by Seller's attorney. thank you Milan. In few other situations as well, he added few clauses himself to safe guard me, in case, sellers try to play rough by exploiting the "Use of Occupancy" or "Inspection" related repairs not that they would have or are/were planning to but its always good to have someone on your side in this complicated process of home buying. He was very thorough in explaining each and every paper (you know how big the bundle of papers there are) while closing the house which initially, i thought it's overkill but even that proved to be helpful as he found few issues while closing as well where Title company (not from him but lender) had missed few specifics from the documents so, he got them as well corrected which extended the closing time but he was patiently waiting with us and kept on explaining us. We were impressed by how detail oriented he is given that he knew few minor numbers 15 pages back also when we asked a question about some $253 approx. and he was quick to take us to a page where it was mentioned by lender.
So, here's all good and here's something not so much in his favor hence, 4 stars. Sometimes, when you did not follow the process or did not go through a document after him telling you as well then he can be rough (again, not shouting) but you can feel the irritation in his voice easily :) , happened with me twice but again, it was for my own good nothing was going to benefit him because of that but he did not like that. I found that, it's better to follow up with the attorney's assistant if you have put in some conditions which are out of the regular process like we had one or 2 (do not want to put it on forum) but overall, great experience.
You might find his fee little higher than others but then he does not add any additional charges at the time of closing like, photocopy, emailing etc. whereas most of other attorneys do.

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.
