I’m addition to being very kind, caring and understanding, Randolf is very knowledgeable about real estate law and knows how get to the bottom of the situation and give great legal advice. He was kind enough to tell me as a friend that mine was not a legal situation but a financial one. What else can I say, except he is helpful and he knows what he is talking about. This was only a consultation, but If his services had actually been required, I wouldn’t have hesitated to hire him.

Brenda Linder was my saving grace for my lawsuit. Brenda exemplifies unparalleled legal expertise and unwavering dedication. Her strategic brilliance, meticulous preparation, and compassionate approach make her an invaluable ally in navigating the complexities of the legal system. Brenda truly does redefine excellence in defending the rights and freedoms of her clients. She had worked with other people in the case and knew the situation by the time my name came across her desk. When we had a consultation, I sat across from her and felt peace for the first time since being served and knew right away she was the lawyer for me. I truly cannot recommend a better attorney. Brenda cares about you and your safety as a client. She cares about you having realistic expectations of your situation and will keep a solid line of communication through every step and process. Brenda Linder is a name I will send to every person who needs a defense attorney in my lifetime.

I called her office and spoke to her regarding a real estate case. She ended up not taking my case, but she took at least 15 minutes to describe the legalities of my case and what she would do in my position to make my case stronger. I sincerely appreciate her time and effort.

There is so much I can say about Miguel Jimenez. He is one of the best attorneys I’ve ever seen. He helped me with my custody case and we got exactly what we wanted. He was communicative and quick to respond. We communicated via email and he was quick with it. I felt like he was a really honest and would tell me what I needed to hear. We are now going onto the divorce part but I feel so confident with Miguel I recommend him 100%

I highly recommend Lerandeau & Lerandeau! Lacey Sanchez and her team were so patient throughout negotiations with my ex and her lawyer (took 1.5 years to settle) gave excellent advice, and even continued to take my calls and emails while I still paid alimony over the past over the past five years even after official representation ended. I remember Paul telling me when I first went to them patience wins the race, and it did. I will forever be grateful to this team!

I highly recommend LERANDEAU & LERANDEAU. My son was going through a very nasty divorce and our attorney Lacey Sanchez was awesome getting us thru the legal obstacles. I don't know what we would have done without her. She and her team were very responsive to our questions and concerns. All their responses were professional and we never felt like a question or concern was to small or silly to be answered. The office staff are very friendly and helpful at all times.

What a lawyer.. Mr. John Cadwalader did a phenomenal job evicting our tenant in a very expeditious manner. He is very professional and will do his job right! We didn’t have to keep asking him anything he just did it all and kept us informed when we had to be updated. Easy and fast. I couldn’t believe how quick this process went and definitely couldn’t believe the favorable outcome of the eviction. 10 stars. Worth every penny. Highly recommended. Again, thank you Sir!

Ms. English is unskilled, unprofessional, and incompetent - her win/loss legal record speaks for itself as does the fact that no big law firm wants to hire her so she's in a dingy downtown low cost office location. I wish I had known how inept Ms. English was prior to hiring her on a contingency basis. I figured that since I wasn't paying any money for her services and since she talked a a good talk, it was a good deal. Unfortunately, Ms. English is all talk and minimal legal skills/knowledge. Over several months of managing my case, Ms. English apparently made several rookie mistakes. I only found out about her errors a long time later when subsequent lawyers reviewed the specifics of my case and asked me why my previous lawyer (ms. english) had let valuable deadlines lapse, had not informed me of the consequences of certain actions taken by opposing counsel, etc. Do yourself a favor and find a better lawyer than Ms. English - even a first year law student would be a better lawyer than she is.

DO NOT TRUST THE SECURITY OF THIS PLACE! I booked a consultation with Claire and uploaded all of my personal documents on a link they requested from me, and was later told they couldn't find my documents (which had BANKING INFO and tons of other private info), and that reason for this was because someone there quit and took the passwords with them when they left. Additionally, she refused to give me an exact cost for her services- it felt like a terrible sales pitch- and her asking between $3,600 to $6,000 for a simple trust when I own no property at all seems absolutely outrageous for an associate. 100% NOT recommended- Major disappointment! Unprofessional- I will be reporting to the BAR association.

This attorney lied to a judge and said my sister was someone else who had a criminal record just to get a search warrant to get into an apartment my sister and her children were renting a room from. They kicked the door in and terrified my nieces who are forever scarred. My sister never got in trouble in her life, but because of the careless act of this so called attorney my nieces are afraid to do anything. because that man doesn't get his way and he's money hungry. Don't ever hire this heartless person.He should be banned from ever practicing law. I hope he doesn't have children.what a mess he is.

I hired Kimberly Mayhew to handle my trust that was unethically changed by my stepmother. She made it seem like we had a good case at first but after charging us an obscene amount of money for going over less than 50 pages of docs, she told us we didn’t have a solid case. She then had the audacity to charge us for our free consultation. When I asked her to explain why, she never responded. Definitely wouldn’t recommend hiring this bottom feeder.

Based on my experience with amanda hebesha it is my opinion she is UNHOLY and has NO regard for human rights, justice and law. Based on her CHOSEN CONDUCT it is my opinion she is a disservice to our justice system and is NOT equipped to practice law. Based on her chosen conduct it is also my opinion she is a danger and destructive to families. Her chosen conduct supports she runs her own agenda at the expense of her clients for her financial gain. Praying for her CORRUPT (demonic) soul.

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.
