After my marriage 3 months ago, I applied for a home loan, so that I and my wife could move to a better apartment, but I got a negative reply, which I was told was a result of my credit score. When I pulled my score it was below average. I had $12,000 student loan, some credit card debt, charge off and an eviction. PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST helped me erase all the above negative reports and boosted my score to excellent in less than 6 days. I’m recommending them to any one in need of credit assistance.

Tripp was exactly the lawyer we needed, when we needed him. The contractors on my home ripped me off, walked off the job, did a flawed job of what was completed, needless to say they did not complete the entire job. To top things off, the contractors filed a lien on my house. There were several twists and turns throughout the case. Just before trail, I went into the hospital with no direct contact/planning from Tripp. Tripp was still prepared anyway despite being limited in the decisions he could make. Within the last two days of court, the contractors brought in a new hot shot attorney from out of state. The new attorney disregarded the discovery process since he was not involved. My first expert witness was promptly dismissed. The court went into continuance. Tripp managed get to the testimony from my first expert witness anyway. In the end, the judge dismissed the contractor's case and granted me a judgement. A two-attorney team did not have skill nor court room presence to defeat Tripp’s preparation, presentation and court room presence. I have only hired a few attorneys who all have done some great things for me. Tripp is the top of the list.

All of these are things that you look for in an attorney. Tripp Estes possesses all of these traits and more. Look no further!
My husband and I made the difficult decision to let go of our attorney 2 weeks before our custody trial. We stumbled upon Tripp online and made the choice to hire him. It was the best decision we could have ever made. Tripp was the light at the end of our tunnel. Our only regret is that we didn't hire him from the very beginning.
Honesty: Our case was a very complicated one and Tripp accepted the daunting task! From the very beginning he was honest with us. There are quite a few attorneys that make a practice of giving you false hope, only to leave you distraught and completely blind-sighted with the judges verdict. Tripp is not one of these attorneys. He is going to be up front with you. You will know where you stand at all time.
He is a family man. This is very important if you want someone to fight for your family's rights. You want someone who has great morals and one who is compassionate.
Tripp is dedicated. He worked around the clock to get caught up on our case and prepare for trial.
In court Tripp was very detail oriented and organized. He knows the law and is very well respected and known in NWA.
From the very beginning until even after trial, Tripp was in constant communication. He was always able to be reached via email or phone. We even had a few incidents in which Tripp took the time to contact us over the weekend. Some attorneys will make you feel like you are completely in the dark. Tripp will never do this.
Needless to say, we were granted everything we fought for in court. Because of Tripp my husband and I are able to rest easy We won in court and so will you if you choose to hire a professional, competent attorney, such as Tripp Estes! I am confident that if you make the right choice to hire Tripp to fight for you and your family's rights he will do everything within his power to do so.
More times than not the verdict made in court will alter your life forever. This is why it is so very important to hire someone like Tripp. Do NOT make the mistake we made by waiting to hire Tripp. Make the right choice. You will not be disappointed! Thank you, Tripp! You are truly a lifesaver!

When I first found Mr. Hixson, I only spoke with him over the phone but he immediately put me at ease. Once I actually met him in person, I felt an instant connection, something I had not felt with my previous attorney. Mr. Hixson was kind, knowledgeable, sympathetic, and I knew that he was going to do his best to help me. He asked a lot of questions and took a lot of notes which made me feel he was very interested in who I was and the situation I was dealing with. No matter how many stupid questions, I asked he was patient and explained everything in great detail. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Thank you again!

Kenneth has represented my company and me personally in a number of legal matters over the last five years. He worked tirelessly to settle these matters but was at all times ready to take each to court to protect our interest. His easy going personality goes a long way with other attorneys in finding equatible way to settle legal matters. His business background is also a plus and his ethics are beyond reproach. I would highly recommend Kenneth to anyone needing an experienced attorney for business or personal matters.

Ron took over my Divorce case when another lawyer had messed things up for me. I wish I had gone to him to begin with. Ron is an attorney who listens to his clients and works towards what they are asking for. He fights for what his clients want when reasonable and tells them if its not. He's a straight shooter. He is an all around good person and a very professional attorney.

Tyler Benson with Hall Estill recently represented me in a custody contempt case against my ex-husband. Throughout the entire process Tyler and his team were communicative, professional and extremely empathetic. Tyler coordinated with the opposing party's attorney and the ad litem in my case, advising me of my available options based on this discourse and the circumstances that were given. Me and my ex were able to come to an agreement to present the judge before the final hearing that I feel was fair to all parties, thanks in no small way due to Tyler's diligence and attention to detail in my case. Thank you Tyler, Molly and everyone at Hall Estill for being in my corner!

I would have been better off ordering a DIY mediation kit. Kim lost control of my ex and our mediation from the very get go, which eventually took three rounds. Tony was nice, but unreliable and needless. Additionally, if I had taken their advice I would be out several $100k. Look elsewhere, you should expect better.

M Deitchler seems to be a pretty good attorney, but could use work in maturity, court room etiquette & arrogancy. He'll get there one day. Had to go up against him & his client, it's a shame that his client didn't provide all the facts for the case or I wouldn't have had a chance.

I worked at BVTLaw for over five years (only left because I moved out of town). In my opinion, this is THE BEST law office for all of your estate planning, business and tax related needs!! Brenda, Coleman, and Isabelle go above and beyond for all of their clients! They strive to provide the best product tailored to each client's specific needs in all of their service areas. Their genuine care for their clients and attention to both the big and the small details are what sets them apart from others! They aren't just great attorneys - they are great people!!

Unprofessional, quits when confronted with mistakes. Make sure you have an outside attorney review everything before you sign it. And make sure its what you wanted and it's complete ours was not . Thankfully, we caught it but after notifying Isabelle in writing she told us she fixed it. We get it home read it wasn't fixed. Notified her again it wasn't fixed and she wakes us up with certified letter that she quits. We gotta pay an attorney to clean up her mess. She kept our money. We paid for an unfinished imperfect document . Be Careful, distracted,unfocused attorneys will make excuses not changes.

After our father's death in Aug. 2016, and our "brother" threw out our father's beloved pets, changed the locks to our father's house, including all the gates surrounding the house, my sister and I hired Mike for a fee of $2500, which HE said would be the "flat fee "from beginning to end to take care of EVERYTHING." My sister and I had the initial consult with Mike in Sept. 2016, at which time he collected the $2500, promising to file a motion QUICKLY, in order to remove our "brother" as administrator. Six months later, Mike had done NOTHING, while our "brother" listed the house for sale, emptied the furniture, contents, and heirlooms, and sold our father's vehicle. ALL done without my and my sister's permission or involvement! MIKE ALLOWED IT ALL TO HAPPEN with NO action taken! I would text Mike periodically, just trying to get him to do his JOB! Mike would barely respond, and no action taken. Finally, in FEBRUARY 2017, when everything out of the house was gone, and the vehicle was sold, and the house up for sale, Mike finally filed a 6 month old motion to remove our "brother" as administrator, AFTER he had it all! Now the house has a buyer, though I have never been consulted. And the kicker of it all, is that Mike says that I was "abusive", a real joke, because I tried to get him to do his job! Had Mike just filed the initial motion in Sept. 2016, it all could have been resolved. He is a NIGHTMARE!

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.
