Ashley was such a big help in my child support case. I was worried about the potential outcome & was clueless throughout the long process, but she truly gave me peace of mind that everything would be handled for the best outcome for my son. Not only was she very patient with me, but she also made it very easy & comfortable to communicate with as she also has a funny side :) Thank you so much again Ashley!

I hired Justin to help with a case involving a young family member who I am responsible for. Justin went above and beyond to ensure this young man's future is untarnished for what was truly a dumb mistake. Justin is understanding and has the local network needed to advocate for the best options. Highly recommend.

I was falsely accused of harassment. Justin agreed to handle my case and i traveled from VA to IL to defend myself. Justin was exceptional in his cross exam of the 1st plaintiff which the judge dismissed within 15 minutes of testimony. He then was able to have the 2nd claimant agree to withdraw. Knows the law and also knows the court. 100% would hire again. Wish he was local to me.

I always followed the path to stay away from attorneys. This is why, it was a tough decision for me to hire an attorney for a legal matter I had to pursue.
Contrary to what I thought about attorneys, it was an eye-opening experience and a pleasant surprise when I hired Gasperos to help me with a legal issue. I must say engaging with the Gasperos was one of the best thing which happened to me.
On one hand, Lisa is bright and energetic and on the other hand, she was extremely knowledgeable and took her time to explain and discuss each and every step with me. Her partner, Carmen worked long hours, took extra steps, and went out of his way to make sure that we are well prepared for the case.
If you hire the Gasperos, please note they do not differentiate between day or night, weekend or weekdays. They work hard to get the job done and they know how to do it perfectly. I would recommend the Gasperos in a heartbeat.

Attorney Panici is a gentleman and true legal scholar. If I could, I'd give him 100 stars rating. I got into jam and could've lost my driving privileges. His representation, of me, went far above my expectations and as a result I continue to enjoy the very special and valued privilege of driving. I'd recommend Attorney Panici to anyone in need of legal representation. He will go to bat for you to assure you get the best possible outcome.

Had an incident happen to me back in October 2017 and wasn’t charged until March 2018. After trying to find the right attorney a friend of the family told us about Lou Panici Jr– best decision I ever made was to call Lou up. Lou told me to come in right away and we went over everything, he was straight with me from the beginning telling me what can possibly happened both good and bad. Lou was straight forward, caring and I felt he was looking out for what was in my best interest and not just taking on another job. Lou was with me from the first court date which was the bond hearing all the way through to the dismissal. We went to court dates and Lou worked with the DA on what I needed to do, after completing all that was required by the courts and a few things the court didn’t require of me, my case was dismissed and now we are working on expunging this from my record. I don’t believe this would have happened with any other attorney so quickly and efficiently.
I am so grateful to Lou, no need to look for another attorney; Luciano will get the job done. Because of what he has done for me I was able to get back into school and apply for jobs with a clean record.

We recently sold our place and used Zach Lynn as our attorney. He was incredibly supportive and attentive every step of the way, always available from start to finish, and went above and beyond to make sure the process was smooth. My wife and I felt that we were in good hands with Zach and that he had the right mix of involving us without overburdening us with paperwork. This was the first property we sold, so it was important for us to get it right. I would strongly recommend Zach Lynn to anyone looking for a fantastic real estate attorney and partner in the process.

Zach was my real estate attorney when I purchased my condo in late 2014. He was extremely accessible whenever I had any questions or concerns about the contract and accompanying documents. At the closing, Zach made sure that my wife and I understood everything we were signing before we signed it with precise detail. He was extremely patient with us and happy to answer any questions we had. I truly felt like I could trust him and that he had my best interests in mind.
Even now, I come to Zach with personal real estate questions and he is there for me. He could have easily chosen not to answer them, but instead he went out of his way to provide timely and thoughtful responses. I feel extremely blessed to have come across Zach. I would never consider any other real estate attorney in my future transactions (and there will be many future transactions). I am convinced that anyone else who does business with Zach will feel the exact same way!

an is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and personable. He was clear and honest with his assessments and provided a high level of expertise. Ian delivered all information to me throughout my complex case in terms I could easily understand and was always available to me whenever I reached out to him... I was never left “out of the loop”.
Ian was always respectful and empathetic towards me (I was quite emotional on many occasions); he and his staff were phenomenal at meeting my many needs and went the extra mile to ensure that they were met.
My case was resolved in my favor just yesterday (1/7/20); Ian Hoffenberg provided me with absolutely excellent legal advice and representation... I am very appreciative and thankful for his assistance through my legal journey.

Like a previous client of Ian's who wrote about an injustice that occurred to them. I spoke to three lawyers that said I had nothing and another couple that wouldn't call back. Then I spoke to Ian. He promised me nothing, but told me his plan. It worked and it never went to litigation.
Stop looking you found the guy!

***Robert Lake has represented our family in five separate private residential real estate transactions and one commercial transaction in the Western Suburbs of Chicago. He has always provided absolutely outstanding service, helping in all stages of the transactions - from signing the contract all the way through to closing. Regardless of the numerous questions we had along the way, Robert always provided very prompt, thorough answers. He has helped us with some very difficult situations, always protecting our interests and ensuring that any issues were quickly resolved. We have recommended Robert Lake to at least 5 or 6 friends and colleagues (some of whom with much more complex transactions than we have) who retained him. as well. Every single one of them has spoken very highly of him. He has always had our best interests in mind, and it was very reassuring to have an advocate in our corner that was looking out for us. Robert’s experience is very broad. He is clearly an expert in his field, not to mention a consummate professional. We would highly recommend Robert Lake to anyone navigating the home buying process.

Matt Caruso came highly recommended to us, and we in turn would recommend him, without reservation, to anyone dealing with inheritance issues. We were treated with unflagging courtesy. Our concerns were carefully noted, and we were given clear explanations that didn’t downplay negatives or exaggerate positives. Matt and his colleagues answered all our questions and concerns. We appreciated Matt's integrity, as well as his knowledge and experience, and are grateful for all the work Matt and company did resolving our case.

Interviewed and selected Mr. Patel to handle a real estate transaction. As difficult as new relationships can be in finding the right legal attorney, Mr. Patel was the right fit for such a complicated real estate transaction. He went beyond the call of duty in handling our transaction by negotiating back and forth with other attorneys involved. He displayed an excellent grasp of various complex real estate and business matters involved in our real estate deal. Highly recommended and I highly recommend him.

As a first time homeowner, I was really worried about how daunting the entire process could be. Elina, who was referred to me by my broker and friend, helped put ALL those worries to rest. She, along with her team, are very professional, thorough and simply an absolute blast to work with! Even after closing she followed up to make sure all was well. So needless to say, not only do I HIGHLY and EMPHATICALLY recommend her firm, but will definitely use her again for my second home! Keep up the GREAT work Elina and Co! :-)

A series of life calamities and the economic downturn left me in dire straights. I interviewed other attorneys. Mr. Doyle was the last attorney I interviewed. I was most impressed with the compassion, professionalism and patience shown by Mr. Doyle and his staff. Every question was answered, every process explained. When I left his office, there was a plan in place, and most importantly, my anxiety was gone. I am so glad I chose Mr. Doyle. I have and I will continue to recommend Mr. Doyle.

My Husband and I used Christopher for the sale of our home and we have nothing but good things to say. He was honest, knowledgeable and so helpful. For a busy attorney he is also very responsive through emails and phone. He helped make our sale and closing so easy for us, despite some bumps in the road. We enjoyed working with him so much that we referred him to 2 family members that he has done good by and we plan on using his services for the purchase of our next home. We highly recommend him!

Chris took on an industry behemoth on my behalf and settlement was negotiated within 7 months!
He tackled the assignment with vigor and confidence; his analytics and brief were top notch and I believe that is what got the other side to the table in such short order. He's also quick on his feet ~ right back in their faces when the opposing side came at us. Good command of the laws and pressure points too.
On a personal note, Chris is a pleasure to work with, compassionate, empathetic and kind ~ he'll listen to you, work hard for you and be an effective advocate. The other side did not see him coming! Very happy with my outcome.

I have been a client of Russell for over 5 years now and have been extremely satisfied. He has handled numerous cases for me stemming from a botched mortgage modification with the largest mortgage company in the country. That spiraled into other creditors "calling in" my loans, etc. Not only did he get it straightened out, but actually had them backpedalling. After that, I have continued to work with Russ on any legal issues including settling the estate of my late aunt. He has proven to get 100% of my cases solved to my satisfaction or even exceeding my expectations. His fees have been reasonable and he has always conducted himself with the most professionalism in the room. If you need an attorney to handle something and you want to make sure it goes your way, this is the guy to call.

Jeremy is the lawyer for our condominium association. He fought extremely hard and long for us on a dispute with an owner that was trying to get around paying assessments by declaring bankruptcy. Jeremy kept us informed every step of the way and made sure the eventual eviction was carried out as quickly as possible. He made sure we understood all steps of the process. We now have the ability to receive assessment payments from the mortgage company and can put that debt behind us. He also keeps us up-to-date on cases that need to go to collections. Jeremy is very straight-forward with us and gives us answers we need in a timely manner.

We sold our home "by owner" - with no realtor involved. Vince took care of all the details, and didn't charge us any more than if we had used a realtor. Everything went without a hitch, and we didn't even need to be at the closing.

RoseAnn proacactivly found over $2000 for our family when she discovered on our tax bill that we had not taken a homeowners exemption for over four years. This was not the primary reason we had hired her but because she went the extra mile and was looking out for our best interest, she brought this to our attention and helped us file the necessary paperwork to recoup that money.
RoseAnn is intrinsicly motivated, communicative, knowledgeable and an advocate for her clients.

Kelly was so professional and knowledgeable. She represented me during a fairly stressful For Sale by Owner transaction. I was the owner. She always got back to me in a timely fashion. She is terrific!

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.
