Five stars does not encompass the entire value of what I would put on the services provided by Robert Honig. Upon our first meeting he made me feel very comfortable with what I was doing. He was very thorough and helpful in explaining the process…and I can’t forget his amazing assistant Paula. She is just as friendly and knowledgeable as he is. The two make a great team. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who is looking for an affordable and reliable attorney.

My husband and I have used Joerg's services for our past two home closings. We've also recommended him to several family and friends doing real estate transactions. All of this is for good reason: He pays attention to detail. He's experienced. He's professional, efficient and knowledgeable. He's very fairly priced, too. Delivers a lot of value for not a lot of money. When we were going back and forth with the buyers' attorney on a few issues in the contract, we felt confident with Joerg's advice and the way he communicated with the buyers' lawyer. Buying or selling a home is stressful; it's comforting to be represented by an attorney you trust and someone who's genuinely looking out for your best interests. We're in no rush to buy/sell anytime soon, but when we do, we'd happily use Joerg again.

As newlyweds, we were anxious home first-time home buyers, but Joerg made the process smooth, simple, and easy. He always had our best interest in mind, he was clear in what was needed from us, answered all our questions thoroughly, and guided us through everything with clarity. I will definitely use Joerg again when the time comes. His assistant, Teresa, was responsive and knowledgeable. Thanks to you Joerg and his team for everything!

From the initial consultation to the final documents, Joerg demonstrated exceptional expertise and professionalism.

The entire experience was smooth and stress-free, and I felt well-informed and confident in my decisions. I highly recommend Joerg Seifert for anyone needing reliable and knowledgeable estate planning assistance.

Would not recommend using this office for your taxes. They are affordable but the lack of attention to detail is astounding. Our taxes were done wrong the first time, having us owe an extra $1400. I understand people make mistakes and they were able to fix the mistake, but not until it was my husband and I figuring out the issue, not the office. Secondly, when we went to pick up our taxes for review prior to the office filing, we were given a manila folder with our info...along with another couple's information, ALL of their tax and personal information (SSN, W2's, addresses, place of employment etc). When brought to the attention of the paralegal, she admitted to the mistake happening due to both female's having the same first name. When we requested to get all of our original paperwork we submitted returned to us, we were informed it was in the pile for shredding- with OUT the office ever getting our authorization for shredding the information or asking if we wanted it back. Our experience was not great due to their carelessness and little effort to ensure accuracy.

Dean is great but his staff is less than to be desired. The one woman got very snippy with me and then I was promised to have my closing figures the day before our 10 am closing. And I did not get them. No courtesy call or anything. It is now 2 hours before closing and I still don't have them and it is a cash deal, so there is no mortgage company to wait on. This is one of a few different issues I've had.
Again, Dean is a great Attorney but his staff is not so professional.

Yes, yes, yes! Dean is heaven sent as an attorney. My husband and I have purchased 2 primary homes and 1investment property and my mother purchased 2 homes using Dean for legal representation. He's thorough, knowledgeable, affordable and so much more. Ethnicity is not a barrier.

I'm very disappointed with their service. I had a lawsuit for about $12,000; i hired this law office to get help and at the end I ended up paying a settlement payment of $9,000 plus $5,500 in attorney's fees. From $12,000 it went up to $14,500 🤣
I recommend this office to a family member and it looks like it's going the same route.

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.
