We were referred to Amber by our financial advisor after our previous attorney retired. We had literally spent thousands on a very complicated trust. We needed to make some simple modifications, but were a bit gun shy that we might be in for another large bill and protracted effort. We were pleasantly surprised with Amber's efforts to wade through our big old trust, her professionally respectful way of telling us we could make it simpler and her approachable demeanor. She obviously knows what she is doing! Wish we had met her sooner. We would HIGHLY recommend Amber.

Karen is really easy and professional to work with. She has a very good way of helping you understand the legal process and jargon with what you are dealing with. If you don't hear back from Karen promptly, her assistant Tara is always there to help out and make sure you don't feel left in the dark. I would recommend Karen to anyone without hesitation.

Michael Short did an amazing job on very short notice creating an Idaho lateral ditch water users association for a new subdivision in Gem county. He guided us through the whole process. We will be using Michael and Barker Rosholt & Simpson LLP again for numerous other legal services related to our subdivision.
Thanks Michael

Was referred to Trout to handle a very simple order to show cause. Fee churning in my opinion with two attorneys doing the work of one.
Should have been a bill for no more than $10,000 in my opinion and I received a bill for $21,000 for a very basic order to show cause. When I questioned them about the large bill, they agreed to discount 10% but $19,000 is still about double what this should have cost in my opinion.

Kim Trout is an outstanding attorney. He worked tirelessly with us on our case for ten tough months. He was amazingly knowledgeable, calm and supportive. He and his paralegal extraordinaire, Kevin, were patient, thorough and professional. We have nothing but the highest praise for this remarkable legal team.

The only mistake that has ever been made with regards to Trout Law's service is not getting them involved earlier. With that, I'm not talking only in times of what may be seen as, "trouble", I'm speaking to any business start or evolution that occurs in my business ventures where I want to go in with as much wisdom as possible for the benefit of all parties involved.

Matthew was a passionate representative in both my divorce and custody cases and is my go-to for anything family law related. We have received better than expected judgements and I couldn't be happier with how things turned out. If your cause is just, Matthew is the attorney you want representing your case.

Very thoughtful and helpful throughout the process of collecting your information. Your input is encouraged throughout so your wishes are expressed correctly in the will. You are given the opportunity to proofread and make changes. Everyone on the staff has your best interest at heart. Clay was awesome throughout. He made sure we understood everything going on. You’ll not find a better place to put your trust in. Pricing is very fair. I highly doubt you will find any better value for your money. I can confidently give them my highest recommendation.

Communication from this office is terrible.
I was sent a bill and then after looking at the filings would find errors.
The most recent filing has the correct names on the first page, as well as my children’s identifying information, however, it was served by mail to some random person I’ve never heard of in another state. I confirmed this with the courthouse. The attorney hasn’t responded to any of my messages about who this person is or how it happened.
They also haven’t redone the filing.
They’re going to respond here and say I’m not a client of theirs because that’s what they always do.
Update: The filing has now been sent by mail to the correct address. The attorney I talked to treated me like I did something wrong by being upset. He chastised me when I questioned whether the other filings were correct. Then he belittled me and demanded I take down this review. He lacks humility, and understanding.
Still no responsibility taken for the error they made. The curt attitude comes off as arrogant, especially when I was the one that discovered the mistake and not them.

Jim Bendell provided exceptional legal representation during our guardianship case. His deep knowledge of guardianship law, combined with his genuine compassion and attention to detail, made a challenging process much easier to navigate. He was always accessible to answer our questions and took the time to explain complex legal concepts in understandable terms. His advocacy on our behalf was tireless, and his expertise in this area of law was evident throughout the entire process. The outcome exceeded our expectations, thanks to his dedicated work. I highly recommend Jim Bendell and the Bendell Law Firm to anyone seeking guidance in guardianship matters. Thank you, Jim, for your outstanding professional service and personal commitment to our case.

James Bendell charged me well over $100, 0000 and never got the case of Real Estate Fraud to trial. He dropped me. I'm now on my own, PRO SE. I'm a 60 Year old Disabled Homeless Veteran. Living in the Colville National Forest still struggling. He knew this the whole time. I've been treated with utter disregard. I would never hire this man again. I find it strange that he has no negative reviews now as he previously did have. Where did they go?

I can't speak to the law skills of this firm, but the woman who answers the phones should take a sabbatical. I called about a situation involving my father's death and property he owned (trying to transfer ownership) and she wouldn't even let me speak before interrupting and telling me what I had to do. While she might have been right with her advice for one situation, she literally wouldn't let me speak about other things I wanted to ask about and she continually interrupted me (even after I said "hey, you keep interrupting me and I'd really like to explain a few other things" and then she interrupted again and would not let me speak!) Pretty horrible and rude experience on the phone to the point that I simply hung up because she would not let me speak. Super unprofessional experience and not someone you want answering your phones for first time clients. I had multiple things I wanted to ask about and would have brought business to this firm, instead I hung up feeling like the world is a crazy place and the woman here is obviously in great need of a long vacation and some meditation. To the woman on the phone: I truly wish you peace in your life. You are not well. Seek help.

Rude and unhelpful, wouldn’t call them back if they were the last place in town. I called to see if they could help and before I’m even done asking my question she interrupted me to tell me to “go with another lawyer (that I’m working with on an unrelated issue) because that’s who I need to work with and why am I not contacting them” I didn’t contact them for a reason but apparently you aren’t interested in my business.

If you're in search of exceptional legal representation, your search ends here. Aaron and Jon are highly skilled and dedicated attorneys who consistently exhibit professionalism and attentiveness. From the moment they take on your case, they arrive thoroughly prepared and ready to confront the challenges head-on. Their composed and self-assured presence instilled a sense of tranquility within me as I faced the allegations brought against me. With their steadfast support and expert guidance, I was ultimately acquitted of the charge, allowing me to breathe a sigh of relief. Trusting Aaron and Jon to navigate the complexities of your case will undoubtedly provide you with the outstanding legal advocacy you deserve!

Save yourself and your money and *do not* give this firm, specifically Boyd Hawkins, your business. After I thoroughly explained the situation to the rather kind intake woman at their firm, Boyd took my consultation appointment at his rate of $150 per hour. Unfortunately, he clearly didn’t listen to a word I said during it, he kept going off long-winded tangents about matters that I was not there to discuss and I had to repeatedly ask him to stay on the actual topic. I cut the meeting as soon as it was glaringly apparent that I couldn’t trust him to represent me in this legal matter. He wasted over $100 hard earned dollars and even worse, MY TIME.

I have had the pleasure of working with Attorney Mitch Coats for both business/real estate law and criminal defense matters, and I can say with confidence that his dedication to his clients is unmatched.

His deep understanding of real estate law has provided me with invaluable guidance, allowing me to confidently make decisions and move forward with my business ventures.
On the criminal defense side, Mitch’s advocacy is unwavering. Justice can often feel elusive, especially when facing wrongful accusations, but Mitch stands tall and fights for what’s right. His ability to analyze the facts, build a strong defense, and challenge the prosecution’s case will leave you feeling secure in this difficult time.
If you need an attorney who will fight for you with integrity, passion, and expertise, look no further than Mitch Coats. His commitment to his clients is second to none, and I am grateful to have him in my corner. Highly recommend!

After we had a shady unregistered contractor cause about $22,000 worth of damage to our property, ate a $3,500 down payment, then completely blow us off back in 2022, we were recommended to this office and Victor Villegas by a family member to help us start a case. We were initially under the impression that Victor was willing and able to help us with our case, but upon our first in-person meeting we were quickly passed off to Joe Southers. Since the contractor that caused the damage was unregistered in the state of Idaho, everyone emphasized to us that he made it really easy to go after him, and that this case was an easy win. We were super excited at this news, seeing as we could not afford to eat an expense like this. They immediately ran into problems with actually getting in touch with the contractor, and paperwork sent to the address we were given by him was refused, so the case came to a screeching standstill before it could even gain any ground.
Upon brainstorming what the next steps could be, including a suggestion from us to have a sheriff “serve” the papers, and expressing our willingness to pursue these options at any cost, it was clear Joe was not excited about these options when nothing happened after that. After a couple months it was mentioned that we could do an ad in the paper for a period of time, and let the case go straight to a judge for automatic judgement, in which if the contractor doesn’t show up to court, it’s pretty much an immediate win. Again, we expressed that we would love to pursue this avenue, but again we were given silence on updates. I believe we waited about 6 months to hear from Joe on any updates but correspondence on his end was nonexistent. We eventually called him to ask for any updates and to see if the ad in the paper had ever even happened, to which he pretty much couldn’t remember who we were and which case this was. After we called him to discover he pretty much blew off our case for 6 months, we also received a bill where he charged us for the phone call in which we all but reminded him of who we were, and to do his job. We were also billed for him to “revise” an already completed one-paragraph complaint form to the contractor for two hours…. Between these and the other sometimes questionable lawyer fees we had already had to pay previously, we decided to drop the case. It became extremely clear to us that Joe did not care. We were definitely not a priority for him, and he even seemed very arrogant and upset when we told him we were ready to drop the case after having him string us along for almost a year with absolutely no progress. There was just never anything to show for the next hefty bill from this office. It was after the case was already dropped that we found out Joe was actually able to finally get in contact with the contractor. This was just never at any point mentioned to us. So, we had no idea. The methods at which communication was conducted was either nonexistent or unprofessional, such as finding things out through the grapevine once my family member was told, despite that family member wanting zero involvement in our case outside of the initial introductions. Overall working with Joe was a very expensive waste of time. We never at any point felt he had our best interest at heart.

Jeff should’ve been my first call! After an accident, I tried to settle with the insurance companies myself. It was extremely overwhelming and confusing. Finally I came to my senses and a friend recommended calling Jeff. Hands down the best decision! He is very communicative (I never felt out of the loop), I felt that he had my best interests and really fought for me so I could just focus on recovery and moving forward. Everyone at his office is so personable. I’d give 10 stars ✨ if I could. God forbid I’m ever in another accident, Jeff is absolutely who I could call.

Unethical and prone to overbill. I hired them to represent me in a construction defect case. He never did anything and then sent me a letter saying he cannot represent me since he never agreed to represent me. But in the same letter he said I never paid the retainer. Why would he ask for a retainer if he never agreed to repersent me? They also tried to bill me for speaking with an attorney when I called to talk to the receptioist about a previous bill. She just patched me through to the attorney. I never asked to speak to the attorney, yet they tried to bill me for the call. Many attorneys are bad and this guy fits right in that category.

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.
