I have a really good experience with torklaw. They’re organized. They know what they’re doing, pretty efficient. They save you the stress to deal with Insurances and make a good representation for you. Definitely recommend you put your case on their hands. They also want you to know what’s happening , keeping you up to date and offer help in Spanish because they want you to understand your process well which i believe is really important.

David was great in helping my boyfriend and I close on a house. He is a very patient man and very helpful in understanding that my boyfriend preferred to email/text instead of call. During the closing process, David helped us understand how everything works in layman's terms. He also made sure to check in every now and then to see if the lenders would push through earlier, but again, David was very patient even when we were not.
Overall, David Liberty is the guy to go to when you want something done. He does well in explaining everything and will make sure that you are getting what you need/want for a good reason. I thank those who introduced me to David Liberty since he is a genuine man to work with.

Exceptional legal counsel from start to finish. Joan was incredibly responsive, providing clear and informative guidance throughout our tenancy dispute case. Her detailed knowledge of the RLTO put us at ease, giving us full confidence that we had a strong case. Joan's swift communication and decisive actions allowed us to successfully break our lease and recover all of our money from an uncooperative landlord. We were impressed by her professionalism and advocacy on our behalf. If you need a tenacious attorney to protect your rights as a tenant, Joan is the one to hire. Can't recommend her enough!

Had the best experience and results with her.
She is very straight forward on how the out come will be, super professional and experience on her field, I have all ready recommended to friends and family, take in consideration what is your case, she will do her best to help you out. I went with with her gave all my documentation she ask for and everything worked perfectly, don't blame it on her because your case did not went thru, maybe you where not fully honest with her on things you have provide her and your legal situation. also once you sent the documents sometimes USCIS losses your information, I went to my portal to verify my status case and they where asking me for information I had all ready gave Sakina, but I told her my concern she answer fast and clear it right away, sent again my information and everything was correct. take in consideration that USIS will keep asking documents you have sent all ready all the time, so also be aware on your portal that you could see everything online, and ask any questions and concerns to Sakina, she will help you out in your whole process A to Z. I vale the time and effort she did so overall I highly recommend her with no hesitation.

My husband & I had a really great experience with Brabrander Law. Andy is very knowledgeable. I learned so much about laws & our rights just by doing business with him. He really will fight for you until the end. The communication was excellent from beginning to end. Most of the communication was through phone/email which was perfect for working parents with 2 little ones. We called so many firms and carefully read all reviews for each & we are so lucky to have chosen Brabrander Law. I don’t believe we would’ve had an experience as great as this one anywhere else. Thanks Andy!!

I was referred to Melvin by a truly great friend. Within hours of hearing only a paragraph about our situation, Melvin called me, already having done his research on our property, and offering to take my case. There is no question Melvin knows the law inside and out. He left me confident through the entire process; and truly relieved of the battle I was fighting from the second he first called. Melvin works quickly, is very transparent about he expects from us, and what we should expect, and makes it feel as if you are the most important client in the world given his attention to detail, and quick responses. He's very personable, and easy to talk to, without feeling any of the intimidation or interrogation a lawsuit situation may bring (especially since I just finished watching Suits, and wasn't jumping up and and down about escalating my case to the law). It is in your absolute best interest to contact Melvin.

My lawyer was amazing. He walked me through step by step as this was my first legal court case. He stayed in contact to explain what we needed to do next for every court date. He is always confident and professional. Highly knowledgeable on all current laws. He continued to fight and deny their outlandish deals. As we took my case to trial, Boris informed all parties involved that there was no basis for this case. They choose to process anyways. Then once cross examination started he proved to them there was no case. I will always go back in the future if ever needed. What an amazing attorney and hard working, educated individual!!!!! Highly recommended.

If you’re on here looking through reviews because you got a DUI & are trying to figure out which attorney to hire to represent you, then THIS is the review for you. I too was in your shoes. Got charged with my FIRST DUI. And given, every DUI case is different but what really matters is hiring an Attorney who pays attention to your story, to every piece of detail you give them & more importantly an Attorney who makes you feel comfortable. I’m a Realtor, and as such I need my license to keep driving on the road.I also like to travel & I felt like my life was over being charged with a DUI.Some countries like Canada won’t even allow you entry with a DUI on your record.I consulted with a total of 6 different DUI attorneys. I was actually in the area of Orland Park meeting with a different DUI attorney, when I was told about Camilo’s services through a viral tiktok that was made. So in turn I do have to say “Brandon sent me!” Lol I decided to stop by Camilo’s office & to my surprise I actually got to meet with him and he gave me a free consultation.I told Camilo my story, nonetheless he started brainstorming a whole game plan from the start.Truly, he reminded me of myself on how I treat my clients. I remember him telling me “Whatever attorney you get wether it’s me or someone else idc but you have to make sure they file this for you by Friday” that to me was free advice. ONLY A GOOD PERSON will say that to you. Camilo made me aware that he works with his Partner Boris on many cases together. The communication with Camilo for the month until my court date was great! He always answered my texts/calls. Ooooppsss I forgot to mention, I got charged with “driving under the influence of alcohol” which was complete bs & wrongful arrest bc I have colitis and I don’t even like drinking alcohol because it will damage my colon and I sure as hell was not drinking the night of my arrest. Anyways, court date comes… and Boris shows up to represent me. And let’s just say Camilo was right about him, he is truly brilliance in the court room. Listen, I know my case was fkd to begin with but I didn’t know to what level of extent I was really getting fkd by police (pardon my French but this is a real story). Boris asked me if I was willing to go to trial same day as my hearing date. (My first court date for my DUI) I was nervous but if it meant I could potentially be done with this whole thing in ONE DAY then yes let’s do it!The cop who arrested me clearly didn’t expect a whole hearing/trial on the first court date. I mean neither did I lol But Boris came in and started asking the officer very important questions. EVERY DETAIL MATTERS. And Boris made sure to point out everything where my rights were violated. Like I said I knew I was getting fkd but didn’t know to what extent. And it takes a Brilliant attorney to be able to point out the facts and help you get the results you want. I was found not guilty and my DUI case was handled in ONE DAY. I was made aware that many DUI cases can last minimum 3 months with multiple court dates. Ughhh! How exhausting! But they handled mine in one day & everything was DONE. Like Brandon said in that TikTok THEY PERFORM MIRACLES! I was found Not guilty and I can go to Canada and keep my drivers license & continue to service my clients. Camilo & Boris, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you did for me. From the start you believed in me, you made me feel comfortable, you had my back and you didn’t do anything to jeopardize my license.
P.S- After an entire month of waiting & me following up with them, they didn’t end up getting my discovery files till the Friday before my court date & court was Monday and they still made it a priority over the weekend to review everything carefully & in detail and they were ready to fight for me in court. Boris did just that, he fought for me in the court room. ABSOLUTE BRILLIANCE THAT MAN! AND EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR IN REPRESENTATION! THANK YOU! JUSTICE WAS SERVED

We retained Ms. Jackson to prepare several estate documents. In our initial meeting she explained options for what we wanted to achieve and answered our questions. When we agreed to retain her, we signed a letter of engagement that detailed her scope of work and fees. Her website provides a list of fees for specific services. When we received the drafts of our documents she very promptly and thoroughly answered our questions. Once the documents were executed, she provided us with paper originals and electronic copies.
Making appointments was easy and with two locations we could meet where most convenient for us. She took sufficient time with us and didn’t make us feel rushed. She has good credentials, was knowledgeable, professional and pleasant to deal with.
We were very pleased with our experience.

Great communication, great attention to details, and very professional. Everything that I needed was completed. Cyrus didn't make me feel like a number he was very caring and made me feel like I was his most important client. After the case he called and checked on me and that showed excellent support and understanding of my situation. Cyrus listened to all my concerns, asked great questions, gave specifics to my case and he was completely honest about my situation. He listened to my needs and came up with very effective strategies. Cyrus made sure my kids received a good payout for child support and offered to assist me if my ex-husband refuses to pay. I would hire and keep in contact with Cyrus. Excellent lawyer he works in silence but presents loudly and effectively.

I recently wrote a review on Redfin's Open Book about Shameen..but I wanted to take another opportunity to express the service excellence provided to me.
Shammen and her associates have been with me through the rigorous attempts to purchase property..They have made themselves available to answer all questions, even allowing me to contact them way after regular business hours are over. They have offered a truly personalized and caring experience..No question is to silly or simple to ask. Since I have been working with Shameen and her associates, I have felt that this is more than just a job for them, they ensure that you are comfortable and well informed.
If I could give them more than five stars, I would.. I definitely would recommend Shameen and her team.

Many years ago I found myself divorced and single mother. Although I really tried to make ends meet, I just keep falling behind with my bills. Before going to Robert J. Adams I I consulted with two other attorneys that I saw on TV regarding bankruptcy. As soon as I got in the door, they wanted to talk about fees and not my problems, I felt like I was being interrogated and they treated me like I did something wrong. At that time I was working two jobs and had two small children to look after and between rent, household bills and daycare I had no money to pay old credit cards and medical bills. I found Robert through a close friend of mine. It was like I struck gold, as Robert is not on TV. After consulting with Robert for one minute, I knew that he was the right attorney for me and my family. His staff was so welcoming, Robert’s experience and knowledge provided me with a level of comfort that the other attorneys did not. When my case got complicated and the credit card company filed an adversary, Robert took them to trial, and after 2 days, he won the case. That was over 12 years ago. Recently I had medical problems and after insurance, I still owed the hospital thousands of dollars. After two years of trying to negotiate with the collection companies, I call Robert. He again filed my cases and my life got instantly better. This time I got the opportunity to work with Tina, Robert's daughter and I also wanted to give her a recommendation because she did a lot of work on my case. Like her father, Tina really cares for people. I am happy that she has followed his footsteps. I highly recommend Tina to anyone considering bankruptcy. She is ready to go the extra mile

Every since I began working with Tina she has made this process feel more than just a case number but more of a personal situation. Its amazing how she remembers not just your name but things about your family as well. I was terrified about the entire process but working with the Robert J Adams family especially Tina and Michael made things go smooth as butter. If Life throws you a curve ball, I suggest working with a friend (attorney) like Christine (Tina) Adams!! Thanks for giving me my life back.

I highly recommend Ms Mangiaforte as a real estate attorney. I hired her for both closings on a sale and a purchase. She is very thorough and everything went very smoothly. She will explain the entire process and handle any specific issues that are needed. I would hire her again tomorrow.

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.
