We are a small import/export company. As such we have need for legal documents to be drawn up, reseller agreements, contract reviews, NDA's, website terms, etc.
Trying to find good legal representation can very challenging and expensive and hurt your wallet. We finally settled on Morrissey Law whom we've been with now for nearly 10 years. They have proven to be insightful, knowledgeable, professional, experienced, very competitively priced and painless. If unable to find an answer (for cases outside their specialty) they have advised of alternate solutions.
We have also trusted them for our personal legal needs as well, rental property contracts, lease termination agreements, real estate, setting up trusts, etc.
What sets the company aside is not only the personal attention they take but they don't nickel dime you should you have any quick questions, emails, phones calls etc. They take the time to try and fully understand your needs and objectives offering suggestions and advise built from years of experience and knowledge. Jeana does most of the work and has been our go-to person all these years. We very much appreciate her and the business she has built.
If you own a small business, have real estate needs, general legal advice, we give our highest recommendation to Morrissey Law.

Rich Elley was highly instrumental in my and my partners overcoming some antiquated and incorrect claims to real estate we owned and which needed to be resolved in a timely fashion. Rather than undertaking expensive litigation to cure the title he undertook a means which was highly cost effective for all. He and his assistant, Justine, were well organized and effective and as an attorney myself I can say his legal service to us was outstanding. I recommend him for any real estate related matters.

If I could give this firm 10 stars, I would. Rich Elley and his staff stayed with us, through the ups and downs of our case, for 2-1/2 years, with unwavering professional support, a calm voice of patience and reasoning, great advice for “next steps” - and in the end, Elley Law secured a complete and total win for us. Everything that Rich Elley requested from the courts, was granted. Every milestone was a win for us and we are unimaginably grateful for his expertise.
And to be transparent, there were days of complete despair, but Rich pulled us through. We are now at the finish line and we are elated with the results.
If you are looking for an expert, who is not only extremely knowledgeable in his craft, but also personable and kind, Rich is your lawyer. His staff is equally supportive and you will never feel as if Elley Law doesn’t 100% have your back.
We cannot recommend this firm more…do not hesitate to reach out to Rich, because you will not regret that choice. In fact, if you have any questions about a transaction, reach out to him before you land in hot water like we did. His expertise will guide you to the right decisions to protect your assets (and your peace of mind).
Thank you again to the team at Elley law, you literally saved our entire life savings from being lost to us and we are forever grateful.

Jim took a personal interest in my legal issues and other colleagues have said the same. Jim has never overcharged and most importantly gets work done well and quickly. I've had too many bad experiences with other attorneys who don't respond or take months to finalize agreements. Fantastic business attorney for me.

Starting a new business can be rather overwhelming especially when it comes to getting all the necessary details in place. Jim Kuzmich helped remove the burdens I was feeling by providing exceptional solutions and counseling for getting my business properly established and preparing the appropriate structure for my client contracts in a professional manner. Jim Kuzmich is not only one who is extremely knowledgeable in his profession but is such a pleasure to work with. He takes the time to listen to my needs and answer all my questions proficiently. He has enabled me to feel confident as I start my new business venture and I will continue to utilize Jim’s services and expertise for years to come. I can honestly say I would highly recommend Jim to anyone and appreciate all he has done for me thus far.

My business partner and I were fortunate enough to be introduced to Mr. Kuzmich just a couple of years ago and he has been our go-to guy for our own legal questions as well as for our clients ever since. He has a broad knowledge of all law, but is exceptional at contracts. My biggest pet peeve as a small business owner is when people don't respond to call, e-mails, etc. and Jim is always exceptionally responsive even in evenings and weekends and on those few occasions that he will not be available, he will let us know in advance. I highly, highly recommend Jim as a trusted resource.

I came into his office feeling confused and left with confidence after he educated me about my situation from a legal perspective. He was very patient with me and ensured I understood my options before making any decision each step of the way. If I had any questions or reservations, he made time to speak and was very responsive. I am grateful to have worked with Rex and highly recommend him!

I have very limited experience working with an attorney. After the initial consultation of my employment contract, I had the utmost confidence in Rex Christensen. He listened to me very carefully and asked pertinent questions. I did require his expertise in settling my contract and he was prompt, courteous, professional, thorough and highly knowledgeable.

I spoke to Rex on the phone and explained my situation. He said he thought I had a case and set an appointment to meet with him. He explained all of my options in detail. I decided which one was best for me. I decided to hire him and he took the case on contingency. He ended up negotiating a good settlement. Rex kept my informed through the whole process. I highly recommend Rex for wrongful termination.

I am an estate planning attorney in California and I had the pleasure of working with Brandon White and his team when one of my clients moved to Arizona. I found them very friendly, professional, knowledgeable about their area of expertise, and transparent on pricing! All in all a pleasure to work with.

My son was facing misdemeanor charges for driving too fast. Brandon masterfully negotiated with the local county prosecuting attorney. The misdemeanor charges were reduced to civil moving violations - speeding tickets! My son paid a hefty fine, did community service, but his record remains clean! No criminal history! He recently graduated from a highly specialized academy to work in the public sector as a first responder. He's been pursuing his dream for the past five years and his dream is about to become reality! We're very proud of our son and we're thankful to Brandon White. Thank you Brandon White and staff for helping my son continue on the path towards making his dream become reality!!!

I would’ve rated him four stars until now. In 2010 I nearly died in a car accident and he helped me win the court case. It took 3 years to get anything, which was crazy but now that my daughter just turned 18, she’s entitled to her portion of the settlement but we can’t get him to call us back! The bank won’t let her touch it without a release letter from him but no one will call us back!!!! I’ve tried emailing, I’ve tried calling but we are unable to get anywhere. I’m beyond angry and annoyed with him!

We scheduled an appointment with him and he didn’t review the documents til we were on a conference call with him. He stated to call a different lawyer that he couldn’t help. They could have said that before having to wait to meet with him. You’d think a lawyers office would have better organization. No guidance. No information provided.

Kevin R. Harper represented me in a HOA foreclosure and helped put closer to the foreclosure.
Thank you, Mr. Harper, for that. Yet, throughout the duration of my case, I was very unsettled.
For someone seeking a payoff amount to settle the HOA debt I had, why did it take almost 2 months?
I got charged for him speaking with the opposing counsel 9 individual days and 13 days for me.
Any job I have ever had, if I took that long to execute that task, I would have been terminated.
What stressed me out the most, was Mr. Harper not supplying an answer to the courts.
An answer is an acknowledgement that I am aware of the court case and intend on participating.
The court website stresses the importance and so did several videos of lawyers handling these cases.
If an answer isn’t supplied by a given date, the case enters a default ruling against me.
While Mr. Harper was working my case, I contacted the courts to learn what that due date was.
I was told of the date. Also, that no answer was submitted, nor was a lawyer assigned to my case.
Mr. Harper informed me no answer needs to be supplied because opposing counsel and himself agreed to an extension, pushing out the date for the answer.
I asked about the court’s involvement of knowing. He stated they did not need to be informed.
So, the courts don’t know I have counsel assigned, nor an extension?
I would imagine the courts will react when that original due date arrives.
If only Mr. Harper was empathetic, then he might have reacted appropriately to my stressing out.
First off, HOA’s by law can rob you of your home with a mere HOA debt of $1200.00.
Couple that with the housing values doubling, and you have the makings of a scam.
You begin to wonder if your counsel doesn’t flub your case to take a cut when your home is sold.
My home is on the line here and everything appears sketchy.
However, many times I wrote emails addressing my concerns, he spent more time questioning why I didn’t sit back and take his advice, than to furnish me adequate documentation supporting his claims.
Mr. Harper eventually got me the pay off amount, on a Friday before the due date on Monday.
I immediately responded willing to pay that total bill today, before the due date arrives.
Mr. Harper knew how stressed I was about the due date, so why did he not contact me back until Tuesday, the day after the due date?
Not only did he position me to go out of my mind over the weekend and the due date day, but proceeded now to finally submit an answer.
He had been telling me the answer will come with considerable cost and he was saving me from the excessive bill.
Why then submit an answer after the due date, that wasn’t going to do me any good?
I should have trusted the negative reviews of Mr. Harper.
One stating it appeared he was working for the other side, not responding with answers, and another that he lacked empathy.
Although his reviews have significant positives, I felt the same anguish from each of the negative reviews.
Further example of concern, he responds back to the negative reviews, initializing the same blanket statement.
Five stars for closing out my case. Deducting 3 stars for the stress, dragging it out, and excessive cost.
I wish Mr. Harper success in his life and to eventually feel compassionate about people’s situation and not take advantage it to over stuff his wallet.

I hired Kevin to represent me in a very elongated situation, whereby, I was divorced but I was a joint tenancy owner with rights of survivorship on my house. Needless to say, there was a battle between my ex and I regarding the sale of the house. There was not much in terms of case law regarding joint tenancy with rights of survivorship, however through Kevin’s diligence and persistence, we won my case. I would highly recommend hiring Kevin. He was very professional and kept me abreast of each facet on my case. Kudos, Kevin for a job well done.

I had a realtor try to sue me for a commission that she thought was due to her. I own a few commercial properties and Linda’s loser lawyer tried to become a pain in my ass so I would just pay them to go away . But Kevin kicked there Ass ! I know there is never a guaranteed out come with what you hear on the news about law suits but I was willing to fight it out of principle . We offered this realtor 17,000 dollars to go hide under a rock . And she refused the money and lost on a Summary judgement . And had to pay me $25,000k . Kevin filed the judgment with the county and couple years later she couldn’t sell her house without paying me . There are times I would call Kevin on other matters and he would tell me I shouldn’t sue because I signed the contract even though I thought I was right . So I didn’t . He could have said yeah sue them and take my retainer but he didn’t .

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.
