I cannot say enough about Ms. Suarez. My wife and I were looking for someone to help with the sale of our house that would be professional and not take us for fools. I say this because from my experience with other real estate attorneys there are always “hidden fees” not mentioning names but when we purchased the house we went with an attorney who gave us a “good price”. At the closing table we were paying for extra copies/document fess etc we felt like we were dealing with a car salesman and not a professional. We will be working on our estate planning and the closing of our new house with Ms. Suarez no need to look any further. Professionalism at its best.

I can not say enough about my experience with Melissa Suarez and her team in working closely with me on the sale of my apartment. She worked with me as she would her own family. There is no 9-5 with this person, she is there whenever -via email or voicemail. Consider yourself lucky to have her on your side.

My wife and I had a fantastic experience with Rita. She was extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. We encountered some unforeseen and challenging issues with our home purchase, but Rita was able to help us resolve them. She was extremely courteous, yet aggressive with the sellers attorney when appropriate. Would not hesitate to use her firm again, and will certainly recommend to friends and family.

I've been a client of Michele's for many years. Over the course of our relationship she has represented us on a number of matters, from litigations to contract reviews. I'm pleased to report that she hasn't lost yet.
What she has done, is save me from myself on a few occasions. I think it's natural to buy into your own press, and take a hardline approach. Many attorney's love this, as it typically means bad decisions and more billable hours. Don't get me wrong, Michele is happy to fight the good fight and if very strategic. But what sets her apart is that she's honest about the risks and rewards; even if that means billing less.
As her firm has grown, I've noticed that this care for client outcome over billables has permeated through the entire organization. I've used legal representation that costs substantially more per billable hour. I can honestly say that I'm thrilled to be working with Michele and her entire firm, and I do not feel like I compromised on quality in any way. Michele is a bulldog, with really smart associates, and a nice demeanor.

Michele Ross was recommended highly by another attorney for multiple business and residential real estate closings, and we have found that recommendation to be excellent. She is efficient and knowledgeable. She returns calls and/or emails quickly with complete, clear information. We encountered some very difficult personal issues during our legal processes, and she showed tremendous sensitivity while always being highly professional. I know that my family and I will continue to turn to her for legal counsel and needs in the future.

Michele Ross has proven to be a rare find. She is so knowledgable in so many areas and is able to get to the core of all issues. She does not waste time, and is a pleasure to deal with. If she is not the right attorney for the job, she refers out. I am working with one of her referrals currently and couldn't be happier.

Sam helped me with a partnership dispute as it got ugly when everyone lawyered up. The courts took much longer than expected (first time being involved in a suit) and it got frustrating at times, but it all worked out in the end so I have no complaints. Great guy to work with and I would highly recommend him.

I had a really troublesome situation and I badly needed a good litigator and someone who could properly consult me. Michael was great in breaking down the problem, translating complex legal phrases into layman terms, and driving the results I wanted. He definitely has a wide breadth of experience and I would certainly recommend him to others.

When I first contacted CG Song Law Firm, I was in a state of uncertainty. I was facing harassment, stalking, and attacks. It was an emotional rollercoaster, to say the very least. But just when I didn’t know what to expect, Sylvia Itzhaki, Esq. was assigned to my case. She took control with remarkable skill and leadership as the brilliant attorney that she is. She remained a consummate professional against even the most hostile of opposition.
I am more than satisfied with the outcome of the civil dispute. Thank you to Danny, Ms. Grace Kim, and the rest of the team!
I highly recommend CG Song Law Firm, especially my amazing attorney Sylvia Itzhaki!

From start to finish we had an amazing team in searching for our home and David was a huge part of that! Our situation was not an easy one and David stuck by our side through it all offering sound advice, support and a calming attitude. Davids professionalism, knowledge of the law and experience helped us through the minefields and believe me there were plenty. We felt as we were dealing with a friend more than a business colleague, he honestly cared about our situations. Because of David and his extended team we ended up in our dream home! It would never have happened without them, they are all the best in the business, period!

I was fighting a hostile situation with an unfit landlord. Until I met David. Everything turned around for the better. After my experience with him and his firm, I do not hesitate to share that I found David's knowledge, professionalism and tenacity to be at the top of his profession. DAVID = RESULTS. My case had many layers and numerous complications, but he applied his expert knowledge of the law and provided a successful outcome. Watching him in the court room or in deposition was a true form of art. I knew five minutes after our meeting that he would give me 100% and I was right. He treated my case with the personal attention it needed to get the job done. I wanted to take a moment to share my amazing experience with David and if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be where I am today! Thank you so much!

I and my family have been dealing with David Wecht for many years. I have employed his services for various real estate
dealings and business related issues. He has handled the buying and selling of different properties. He has helped negotiate business leases as well as issues that have evolved. I recommended him to another friend who had him handle his personal divorce and was very comfortable with the way it was resolved. He also aided me in a law suit against a contractor that I dealt with who took my money and attempted to scam us.

Savy Grant is smart to some extent, but I must emphaze that she Is too rushy. Her choices in Court are bad. She smiled when she got Probation for a client, but you don't smile when a Judge is doing something that he wasn't going to do in the beginning. She kept Discovery away from me, after repeated requests. I ended up pleading guilty to one charge that I didn't even do. The other two I did though. Communication is minimal. Bad Lawyer.

She will find a way to keep your money , I was selling my property but the sale fell through before going to closing . I asked for a partial refund multiple times for few weeks and kept getting the run around until she finally told me that you get nothing . not to mention it takes forever to get anything accomplished . It was a terrible experience

Savy is awesome. I’ve been a PPE broker since March 2020. I was unable to close transactions. Every time my deals went a2a, I never knew what was happening, and the deal would never close. Something had to change.
Another broker group recommended her, and our group decided to use her as well. Instead of submitting our orders to the Seller’s brokers or Seller’s attorney, we now submit our docs to Savy, and she takes care of the rest.
She verifies the buyer, works with buyers attorney to revise the as needed. She also works with the buyers banker to verify funds prior to submitting the order to the Sellers attorney. she’s present at every a2a. She knows all the players involved, and she made all the difference!
Thank you Savy !!!

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.
