My family was lucky to have Mr Baum assigned to our case. He easily won the trust of my kids, and they were comfortable speaking to him one on one. He met with them both at home and their school, and never lost sight of their best interest. He fought for them in court, and thanks to him they are now safe.

I had the pleasure of working with Jennifer Moore for my family’s estate planning needs following the loss of my father. From our very first meeting, Jennifer demonstrated an impressive level of professionalism and empathy, making a difficult time just a bit easier for us.
What stood out the most was her ability to seamlessly transition our family matters from another law firm to Stebelton Sinder practice. Jennifer took the time to walk us through each step of the process, ensuring we understood our options and felt supported. Her compassionate approach made it easy to discuss sensitive topics, and her expertise gave us confidence that we were in good hands.
I highly recommend Jennifer Moore for anyone in need of estate planning services. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients truly set her apart. Thank you, Jennifer, for your invaluable assistance during such a challenging time

This is David writing this post. Jennifer Moore was referred to us by a family friend. I was in need of getting legal documents in place for my aging parents. We started we a phone consultation. I knew from that interaction we needed to meet Jennifer. We set up a meeting and from her first spoken words she had our attention. Jennifer put us at ease with a trust that was created to safeguard assets from the medical system. Even though we needed 5 years for this to happen, I knew this is what my parents would want. Jennifer explained everything and assured us we were doing what was best. She calmed our nerves and spoke in common terms we understood. By the time this was all done, I was practically in tears just knowing we found the correct attorney and made a friend for life. She is definitely an honest, dependable, trustworthy person to take care of her clients needs. I can’t wait to work with her again in the near future. She always tells you, if you need anything don’t hesitate to call her.
Thank you Jennifer

Paul Hensley is very laid back and has no passion for his job. He does not care if he wins, he still gets paid. He is more concerned on keeping the judges happy then fighting for his clients. He was completely unprepared for my cases, cuts deals that benefit him more than me, let my sister and I sit at the court house for 5 hours one morning and never showed, he will not produce any detail billing and you will see why; very shady to say the least. The courts assigned the wrong child to my case and no one caught it until it got to me. I am worse off now with his direction and "professional opinion" and tens of thousands of dollars in debt. He never cross examined me or anyone else on the stand and never called my witnesses and lead me down a path I my never recover from. When asked why he stated, "the Judge had somewhere to be, and she was getting upset the case was taking so long" Mostly, he took away my chance to sue the city (for being wrongly accused) and my ex wife for damages and falsifying police reports. Once I confronted him on this, he withdrew as my attorney with not so much as a heads up.

From the beginning, Attorney Broyles proved to be a top notch lawyer. I had a dispute with my landlord,and was very unsure of the tenant - landlord laws and my rights in relation to them. I needed advice quickly. I searched the internet, and to be honest, I chose Attorney Broyles because his website offered a consultation whereas you could send his firm an email describing your issue and promised a speedy response. To my surprise, Attorney Broyles himself responded within 30 minutes if my request!!!! Without asking for any fees, he gave me excellent advice, which included quotes from the laws pertaining to my situation. When I asked him for his fees for sending a letter to my landlord, and for representing me in court if the matter went further, I was even more impressed!!! His fees were extremely affordable which also showed me that he cares about helping others.... it’s not just about making money!!! Ultimately, we did end up having to go to court, and he was absolutely phenomenal!! When I arrived, he had already spoken with the opposing counsel in the days leading up to our court date, and the decision was already made in our favor!!! Our appearance was pretty much just a formality. Since then, I have emailed him for other various concerns with the same landlord, and Attorney Broyles has ALWAYS been very responsive, knowledgeable, and professional with his FREE advice. With his help, I successfully fulfilled my lease with a difficult landlord, AND received 100% of my deposit. If you are looking for a great Attorney, I promise you that you will be extremely satisfied with Attorney Bruce Broyles!!!

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.
