Jim did an EXCELLENT job representing my company in an ethics complaint we brought before the Arkansas Real Estate Association. He’s honest and knowledgeable—a true professional. He kept us well-informed throughout the case, making sure we had a thorough understanding of the entire process (and we were very pleased with the outcome!) If you’re in need of legal services, do yourself a favor--hire Jim. You won’t regret it!

We have gone through 2 other lawyers in the area and we were very skeptical. Scott made sure my husband was represented properly. He used facts, assertiveness, and preparation to get my husband more visitation with his children among other things. You wont go wrong just trust him he will speak for men all over Arkansas!!!!!

I contacted Ms. Hazelwood when my ex-husband had me served with a motion which would have required me to put my six year old son on a plane by himself to Kazakhstan to visit his father each summer. Ms. Keisha Hazelwood did not hesitate to represent me. Ultimately the judge ruled in our favor thanks to her unwavering support and expertise. My son is now safe from international travel and his father can visit when he is in the U.S. I cannot thank Ms. Hazelwood enough for giving my life peace again with the knowledge my son will remain safely within U.S. borders. I would recommend the OMG Law Firm and specifically Ms. Hazelwood for any family law issues.

I needed a legal detailed agreement document created by an attorney. I chose Lance and his staff honestly because of looking up attorney reviews online and read nothing but good things. I was helped quickly to get started and all my questions and concerns were addressed in a timely fashion. As things were moving along, I needed to make changes and, they were quick to help me out. Every time I came into their office Lance would come out of his office to greet me. Lance, Stephani, and McKenna (also the front desk) were very easy to work with and I highly recommend them. My legal documents were completed and I will use them again if the need arises.

Did a great job beating an attempted protection order an abusive mother was attempting to get on me, but then wouldn’t do anything to enforce the judges decision resulting in a complete break down in communication. As the typical beta male attorney He is use to helping alienate fathers so the mother of your child could be doing actual harm to your child but hurting her feelings in your response will result in him empathizing with her and not doing his job. Maybe he’s good for single moms trying to destroy their kids, single fathers should avoid. (Plenty of money being a scummy parental alienation profiteer).

Review for Joshua Eason | Submitted on 7/26/21
(Review Approved)
I got the opportunity to hire Josh Allen, an attorney in Josh Eason’s office. While Josh Allen was great and did an excellent job representing me in my custody case, I was also thankful that Josh Eason came to the courthouse to show his support. It is cool to feel like the entire office is there to help! There was a break in the action in court so I didnt find out my decision until after lunch. However, I told Josh that his strategy was outstanding and that I couldn’t be happier. This was before the verdict! Needless to say, after the verdict I was even happier. No one wants to go to court but these guys are worth every penny. Josh Allen has a very calming demeanor and I really needed his relaxed approach to calm me down. I could only give 5 stars but it was well worth 10! Hire these guys for your situation!

Hired for lien work. $2000 by the time the lien was filed. By that time, not even worth the money to file suit. Poor adviser. I always had to reach out to him for any information. He never called on phone. Always sent an email then charged for 1/2 hour of time. Also charged just to read my emails. Never informed me on any dealings with other parties lawyer. Do not waste your time with this firm!’

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.
