Mr. Quigley joined our legal team rather late in the preparation phase of our trial. He was hired to litigate the trial. He rapidly came up to speed on the intricacies of our case. His work ethics are impeccable and his knowledge of court procedure is outstanding. at first I was concerned about his potential lack of experience (he is a young man), but he decimated the older lawyers on the opposing side.

Rob and I have worked together on many water issues through the years. Rob is very knowledgeable and gets back to me quickly by email or phone. The one thing I appreciate the most about Rob is that he hangs in there with me to explain things so that I understand the information and can then make an informed decision. He is honest and gets the job done.

We have known Attorney Jeffrey Hurd for many years, and hired him to redo our Wills and POAs. Not surprisingly, we found him to be the consummate professional with a principled practice conforming to the highest standards. His easy demeanor accompanies deep concern for his clients needs. He guided us through the legal process while attending to our personal needs and beliefs. His attention to detail and ability to get the job done in a most timely manner were greatly appreciated.

I hired Jim during a very difficult divorce and custody battle. Jim was able to do everything I asked of him. I started out with only have a few hours a week with my son, and after hiring Jim that few hours turned into me having 365 overnights a year and 100% decision making. It was the best move I could have made. Jim is worth every penny, and he is willing to work with you. If you want a lawyer that will go to work for you and always have your best interest at heart Jim should be your first choice. He fought tooth and nail and everything paid off in the end. He will let you know straight forward and wont sugar coat it. He will look out for you and your family. I am truly thankful for everything Jim has done for my family. He is the best in town in my opinion. I cannot say enough good things about Jim and his law firm. Each and every one of them from Max at the front desk to Julie wants nothing but the best for you and your family. Jim is a very good lawyer and knows what he is doing. He is at ease and relaxed in the court room. When he is in court he is in his element and knows what has to be done to get the job done. I am in his debt for what he has done for my family.

My company & I have personally worked with Mr. McAnany for over 12 years. He was not only integral to the partnership and succession of my Company, but over the years has served to protect my companies interests with his knowledge and expertise in the construction industry in various areas, including contractual review, editing and drafting. Mr. McAnany was also pivotal in the resolution of a Mechanical Lien dispute with a vendor/subcontractor, and recently was successful in leading our Company in prevailing in a complaint against a former client for breach of contract and quantum meruit. Regardless of the circumstances for needing Mr. Mcanany's services, he always had our best interest at heart and I consider him and his firm to be an integral part of my business' success. I would recommend Christopher G McAnany without any hesitation to anyone!

I have had a legal issue related to mineral rights with gas/oil leases for 8 years. I was lucky enough to be referred to Mr. Kuzminski via another attorney in our community. It was very difficult to find someone who specialized in gas/oil and mineral rights and this referral was the best! Mr. Kuzminski is very knowledgeable about this topic and when he didn't know the answer he found another attorney in the area where the mineral rights were located to get the answers we needed. He is courteous, prompt, and his attention to detail was extraordinary. I am very grateful for his expert advise and his ability to negotiate with the gas/oil companies. He was able to secure me top dollar on my negotiating and CYA on the details. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of this type of legal council.

I highly recommend Davis Law Group, especially Trevor, for anyone in need of an estate lawyer. Their thoroughness in explaining every detail of my probate case was exceptional. Their communication throughout the process was top-notch, ensuring I was always informed and involved. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I successfully closed my case and feel like I "won". I am immensely grateful for their support and professionalism. Trevor took my case to heart, it seemed. Trevor fought immensely for me to buy my childhood home from the estate at a fair value and for that, I owe him a lot. I highly recommend Trevor and the team at Davis Law Group.

JR Davis and Trevor Rene need to be your go-to for any real estate disputes in the Grand Valley, CO and more specifically, the Grand Junction, CO area. They’re knowledgeable, they’re detail oriented, they communicate well and they’re very personable. I would recommend them whether you’re just needing some legal advice or need representation when it comes to anything needed pertaining to real estate - creating a trust, transferring a business entity and/or dealing with any residential real estate disputes. They take the time to break down complex issues so you can better understand them as needed and allow you to make the best informed decisions within the complex legal system that we have today. They’re brilliant!

So disappointed. I am president of an HOA. They filed a lien for us a few years back and I just found out the attorney filed it with the name misspelled. I have been calling and leaving messages for a month now as he is always "unavailable". He has not returned a single one of my calls. We won't be using them in the future due to lack of attention to detail and lack of interest in following up with their customers who paid them quite well.

Do not recommend Reams & Reams. Had a simple Will estate transfer and it’s cost me over $3000 for a few hours of work, if that. You are not able to send an email or ask a question without getting charged $25 for a simple letter, a 1 minute phone call, or a one sentence email in return. I am a mother of 2 that just inherited an estate and the estate didn’t have any funds. I feel like I’m being taken advantage of. Seems like the same charge is being put on bill repeatedly. Not happy. Every time I turn around I am getting a new bill. Be careful!

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
