Wessels & Gerber in Newnan has helped our closing go through seamlessly and professionally. Savannah Waldrop was a joy to meet. Kept papers organized well and sequenced rotations of signatures, which helped with the time of the process. All while keeping us well-informed about certain questions and terms. Light-hearted and helped ease up the anxiety of the room as first-time home buyers. Thank you for everything and would highly recommend them.

Hired Samantha to help with my divorce after calling multiple firms in Atlanta. She gave me solid legal advice even before I officially hired her and took the time to get a good understanding of my specific situation which was nice. Also her rate was very competitive. Overall super happy with my legal representation. Thanks Samantha!

09 Jul, 2020 by Karena carnahan

Samantha handled my case with extreme sensitivity and care. She was diligent, looked out for me in more than just a court setting, and was very conscious of spending my money. I felt lucky to have her in my corner and would not hesitate to recommend her.

I showed up in court in a wheelchair back in early February of 2020. I had been going back and forth with the roofing company that put a lien on my home after they failed to uphold the commitments made in our contract. I suffered multiple strokes in those two years, and I could barely catch my breath long enough to argue my case effectively that day in court. While exiting the courtroom Attorney Gibson handed me her card and told me to give her a call. From the moment she handed me that card Attorney Gibson completely took over and handled the situation for me. I never had to lift a finger because she took care of it all. Today my matter is resolved and the lien is removed from my home. Thank you GLF!

One of the Best Attorney's I've ever hired. Puts my business first. I would proudly recommend The Gibson's Law Firm to anyone.

Ms. Gibson has helped my client (a startup company) with several immigration issues in regards to securing visas for our employees. Ms. Gibson was always helpful, quick to respond, and did not mind explaining the nuances of immigration law. I will definitely use Ms. Gibson's services again.

From the moment we made the first called and spoke with Nancy and the very last paper was signed stamp and handed to us we were more than satisfied and impressed. We had a rough 6months with passing of our father my mother husband/best friend more than 50 years it was time to find a lawyer for my mom to make a will so we did not have to go through what we did with our father. From the moment with talk to Greg and Nancy they held our hand and assured us that were in good hands. Both were very professional but yet personal making you feel you were the most important. Making us very well informed of the in and out so my mom could rest assure that all her wishes were going to be made known as far as her assets, and health. It is just a pleasure to have met them. There first words were let sit down and talk and make sure we are a fit. That my mom was comfortable with them and they were comfortable with her. Well here we are will, and more was done so it show we are a fit. She is also going to use him for the closing of her rental property. He is just the type of lawyer you walk out his office saying who can I tell about him. Thanks Greg Thanks Nancy for all you've done for my mother and I and everyone you come in contact with God Bless you. Thanks Avvo you have a Excellent Lawyer listed.

Greg was excellent. He walked us through the difference between a Will and a Trust. He was very informative and answered all our questions. We would recommend him to our friends and family.

Greg Riley and his assistant Nancy made us feel at home and informed while doing a will for my wife and me. It was a pleasant experience going through the process. He explained all the details in an easy to follow manor and answered any questions that we had in detail. I recommend him to anyone seeking legal advice.

Excellent legal representation and won all my cases she represented me in along with Jarrod Oxendine! She put my mind at ease during what was unfortunately complicated divorce and family law cases, but not for her! Very confident, professional, and knowledgeable! Highly recommend! I wouldn't hesitate to use her services if I ever needed her again for any future matters! I appreciate your patience and all the many times we've had thorough conversations when I needed advice or help! You truly care about your clients!

I was very impressed with the work performed by Christine Palmer, when she handled my divorce case. She was quick to respond when I had questions and from the very beginning to the very end she followed through with every single thing she promised. I would highly recommend her, her professionalism and integrity was impeccable.

Christine did a great job in handling my divorce case. She was always very reponsive to emails and phone calls, same day or next day. Offered great insight through out the process as well as encouragement. Nice, but firm when dealing w opposing counsel.

I appreciated his willingness to give me a brief description of Georgia Law relating to a water related issue that popped up after my neighbor did some landscaping last winter. He also advised me to try to avoid the court system-something I knew I wanted to avoid, but I appreciate a lawyer who isn't trying to drum up expensive work for himself. I also appreciate that he was willing to do a brief 5-minute phone conversation without charge.

19 Sep, 2017 by Steve

Mr. Daughdrill answered my questions relative to urban tree law by outlining the guiding general concepts and also by providing specific answers to my more targeted questions. Best of all he responded rapidly to my initial message and I was able to speak with him quickly which to me is one of the more important attributes to consider when engaging an attorney. While I have some decisions to make about my situation I now feel better equipped to move forward than prior to the consultation.

Jennifer has provided legal guidance to our family owned practice for several years. She is smart, thorough, and a hard worker. We trust and appreciate her practical and legal guidance. Jennifer also goes beyond her legal skills to serve her community and has held a number of leadership positions in her church and other local organizations. Jennifer works hard to make Tift County a better place and I recommend her without reservation!

17 Mar, 2016 by Anonymous

My Lawyer, Jennifer Herzog helped us through legal proceedings with a child custody/visitation agreement. Jennifer has not only done a fantastic job on the legal end of the situation, but made the whole process much easier with her thoughtful and caring attitude. Her work ethic and the way that she is "on top" of the situation has made the process come along in a timely manner, that otherwise could've been drug out over a longer period of time. I'm thankful to have had her by our side through the agreement process. I would highly reccomend her to anyone.

17 Mar, 2016 by Kathy

Jennifer has provided general legal advice to our company for several years. More recently, she provided excellent guidance and representation defending our company and us individually against claims by a former employee who had filed suit in federal court. Jennifer consulted or called in other attorneys within her firm when their areas of expertise were required. She kept us well informed throughout a long and difficult process, and we continue to be very grateful for her guidance through this period. We continue to consult her for routine legal advice as needed and would not hesitate to use her for major issues that might arise in the future.

I engaged Mark in my capacity as an exec at a growing online business and he represented our interests exceptionally well. Mark is an attentive listener, sharp thinker, and is easy to work with, but most importantly he achieved a great outcome for us. Mark is a sophisticated attorney and clearly has a strong command of the law, but it doesn’t come at the expense of clarity. He has a knack for explaining legal concepts in concise terms that are easy to follow. His guidance and communication filled me and my counterparts with confidence that we were in good hands as we navigated a tricky and ambiguous issue. He proved to be an efficient executor and was very fair with his billing (a rare find in a capable attorney, from my experience!) Every touch-point with Mark and his firm was frictionless and easy. Mark will be our go-to guy for business needs, and someone I’d hire for personal matters as well. He’s a good one.

Best Closing attorney!!

06 Jun, 2019 by Paula leggett

Vickie Sadler is a Woman of Character and Integrity Following an accident involving a SUV and 18 Wheel Dump Truck on an Interstate my husband and I were both simply glad to be alive. We were not interested in a settlement just our medical bills, item replacement and reimbursement for the expenses associated with the event to which we were traveling as I was driving a company vehicle. We felt that this was something we could handle ourselves with the two other insurance companies involved but after relentless and wise counsel from leaders in my company we sought out our own counsel. We had no intention of receiving money we were not entitled to and Vickie Sadler assured us that she understood and would work at the highest level of integrity on our behalf. We closed our settlement in May with all of the appropriate funds being received, with clear consciences and an intense level of regard, trust and appreciation for Vickie Sadler.

I contacted Brad last minute to help me help my grandmother with her medical directive and financial power of attorney. He responded promptly and without hesitation. I needed someone with patience, knowledge and experience to sit down with her and carefully review and explain what these important documents were and how beneficial they were to her, and that is exactly what Brad did. I highly recommend him, if he can't help you, he will certainly do his research and refer you to someone who can. My family and I plan to continue to use his services in the future.

19 Oct, 2009 by Michael

I recently had the opportunity to work with Brad. He handled a case for that was not clear cut, but required a good understanding of the field in which he was practicing. He was persistent, he kept me in the loop, and negotiated a successful result. Brad also clearly understood how the process was likely to unfold, and accurately presented the time line the case would follow. I was amazed. In addition, he was a careful steward of time and expenses, keep costs low. I would highly recommend Brad, and have personally to friends and business associates.

24 Aug, 2009 by Shamus roff

Mr. Legare lead me through the process of putting a will together, and all aspects of the adavanced medical directives. These included a living will, health care proxy and durable power of attorney. During the process, Mr. Legare discussed in detail the process, terms and answered any questions I had. Since we completed the estate planning and medical directives I have gone back to Mr. Legare for various other legal questions unrelated to the previous work. He hs been very helpful and responded very quickly.

Kayann represented me in a custody action. She was always quick to return my calls and provide updates to me. She was always more than fair when it came to billing and anytime her paralegal could handle something, she would allow her to which saved me a lot of money. Kayann is honest, hard working and understands the court system and the judges. She is someone you want on your team.

Rob was recommended to us by a neighborhood friend as having an excellent reputation in solving cases similar to ours. We recently moved out of state from Georgia. Our moving company "disposed of" half of our household belongings after delivering them to the wrong state. Rob helped us settle a claim that was overwhelming and daunting to us. Not only did he know all of the legal loopholes that needed to be dealt with, he also was readily available to my husband and me via phone calls, emails or text. He listened to me vent and gave us hope as we took on a national moving company. Rob advised us of what to do step by step to achieve the outcome we wanted. We were able to settle for an amount we were very happy with. I highly recommend Rob to anyone in need of an attorney. Job well done!

08 Feb, 2018 by Tracey

Robert assisted me with a lawsuit that was brought against me. He helped me through each step of the process, was clear and provided easy to understand advice and direction, and I was able to prove that I was in the right and my case was dismissed. I would recommend Robert and contact him again if I needed legal assistance.

30 Jan, 2018 by Rita

Rob went out of his way to help us with what some may consider a very small problem. This was a single family property line discrepancy issue and to us it felt insurmountable. We had no idea where to begin, but with his help we were able to get our problem resolved. He went with us to the county office to talk with them to find out what needed to be done and then handled all required documentation and correspondence, plus followed up until we had our answer. I would highly recommend Rob to anyone who is going through a similar situation.

I was most pleased with the promptness in response and advisement I received to help navigate a stressful matter I had no prior knowledge about. Thank you for making life a little easier, "Most Appreciated"!

14 Nov, 2023 by Sheronda grooms

There are some industries where when you find your person, you have to hold on to them. This holds true in the attorney space for sure!! You typically don't reach out to your attorney when things are going well, so having a knowledgeable, responsive, and punctual attorney makes your situation all the better. I've called on Attorney Hampton many times over the past couple of years for various situations. The firm has always made me feel like a top priority. They have a wealth of knowledge, give sound advice, and advocate for their clients. I've referred Hampton & Hampton to my family and friends; their experience has been the same as mine, making me so happy. In the past, I've consulted Attorney Hampton for civil disputes, real estate, and medical malpractice.

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.

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.
