Brian is a competent attorney, when you can get a hold of him. Left me in the lurch after promising to take my case. Huge disappointment.

What was initially a great experience, ended with a complete ghosting from Brian. I tried to contact him multiple times but he simply ignored me. What made it more uncomfortable was that it was mid-conversation. I would not recommend anything beyond an initial consultation from this lawyer, their negative reviews on Google echo this experience.

I've been trying to get rid of my timeshare for years, and after failed attempts with another firm, I decided to research online about finding a new firm. Mr. Pedergraft came up in my online search so I contacted him. Both he and his office staff were incredibly responsive and professional. In the end, he was unable to help me with my problem, BUT instead of the "sorry, good luck" response, I had gotten so many times before he referred me to someone he knew could help me AND connected us directly. Such personal service. I couldn't have asked for a better situation. I will definitely look him up in the future for any legal needs I have. Thanks, Mr. Pendergraft!

Mr Day took my case a few years ago. This attorney is very organized and professional. He has strong negotiating skills as well. I was able to leave my marriage in a good position. He also set the tone for the co parenting arrangements. I remember him being honest with me about my situation and giving good advice on what I needed to do to regain my autonomy and dignity in the divorce. Thank you

This has been a very traumatic time of my life. I haven’t slept all night since February. I met the most amazing Attorney at this firm.
Attorney Joseph McKenzie. First let me start by saying he’s GREAT LISTENER! He allowed me to explain everything without interruption. He corrected me on things I totally didn’t understand were wrong. He made me feel heard and understood. I was very impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. He has a beautiful office and the staff were very welcoming.
I left there feeling safe and that God let me meet the right person. I slept all night for the first time in a few months. If you need an Attorney who will listen to you and care about your situation call Attorney Joseph and you will not be disappointed.

For starters, you cannot reach them in person, they never pick up the phone and rarely respond to emails in a timely fashion. This HOA law firm is highly unprofessional and unethical. To set up a simple payment plan, they're asking for deeply personal information without justification. The person requesting this information hasn't even confirmed they are a U.S. citizen and appears to be of East Indian descent. I keep questioning why they're demanding such sensitive personal and financial information (PHI/PII) when I don't even know who I'm dealing with. The level of detail they're asking for isn't even required for government security clearance, yet I'm expected to provide it for a basic HOA payment agreement. This is incredibly risky for my personal security because of the kind of investigative work I do myself for the US Gov. It's concerning because this individual already has access to my deed, public records, and address, but is still opting to ask me for my personal bank account details, social security number, sensitive Job information and more. This seems highly unethical and raises serious concerns about the potential misuse of my personal information. An for those that are not aware, yes America allows foreign nationals to work on paralegal and legal cases remotely as lawyers so just because someone is in the legal dept. asking you for all this information does not mean they are US Citizens and safe to trust providing your PHI/PII info, this could easily become a potential violation of privacy laws, depending on the specific circumstances and the jurisdiction you are in the US.

This law firm is predatory and operates in bad faith. In September of last year my mother passed away. She missed several HOA payments at the end of that year because she was sick in the hospital and unable to make them. The following year, her case was referred to Cameron Mericle for collection. I completely understand that and have no problem with it. As soon as I learned of these missed payments, I reached out to Cameron Mericle to arrange payment ASAP and get this cleared up. I took this very seriously and made a very reasonable effort to pay what was owed in a timely manner. I requested the late fees be waived as these were exigent circumstances. I spoke with a woman named Katelyn Howard who assured me that because I had called in to clear it up, there would be no further charges or action on the account as she worked with the HOA to get the late fees waived. She was very professional and understanding during this phone call. To be clear, it would be perfectly fine if they could not be waived. It was simply a request. I was always eager to pay what was owed and get this resolved ASAP. Kate never reached out to me to follow up and over a month passed. I reached back out to find out what was going on and when I finally got a hold of them, they informed me that I now owed almost $1500 dollars extra in legal filing fees and accrued interest because the balance had not been paid. I did not pay the balance because I was specifically told not to as I waited for them to communicate with the HOA to get the late fees waived. Not only did they not do that, but they refused to communicate and charged me almost 4x the amount of what was actually owed because of the time that had passed while I waited for them to respond to me. I was specifically told to wait even though I wanted to pay off the balance. This is incredibly predatory behavior. I would have gladly paid on time but was specifically told not to so they could try to scam me out of more money than was actually owed. Do not trust anything this company says. Get your own lawyer and resolve the issue with your HOA. I have documentation of all of this and will be reporting it to the appropriate authorities. I can't believe the depravity of the people working here. They are the scum of the Earth. They took advantage of the death of my mother to try to scam me. That's completely unacceptable behavior.
The positive reviews of this company come from staff members who declare that most of the negative reviews are simply irate people who are delinquent on what they owe and are venting. Perhaps that is true in some cases. However, this is not the case with me. Since I first contacted Cameron Mericle I was respectful, and very committed to paying the outstanding balance on the account in a timely manner. I made very reasonable efforts to resolve this as fast as I could in compliance with their directions. In response, they lied to me and tried to take advantage of me while I was grieving. I really hope the people working here are able to search their soul and come to terms with their place in the world.

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.
