After realizing how difficult child custody trials are, I was referred to Lorien for help with my case. Lorien was amazing from the start, she met with me and gave me insights on where my case stood at the time and what I could do to help win. Throughout the 8 months Lorien worked on my case, I was consistently given updates from her and her team and was always made to feel heard and validated. She took the time to make sure myself and witnesses were fully prepared for the trial date. On the day of the trial Lorien helped me stay calm and reassured during my testimony. Lorien was stern and clever when speaking on my behalf. After the trial was over, she talked to me and let me know of what to expect next. I cannot thank Lorien enough for helping my gain primary custody of my children. I will forever be grateful for all of her help and hard work in making sure my children are happy and safe.

"I cannot express enough gratitude for Attorney Lorien. She guided me through one of the toughest battles of my life, and thanks to her expertise and dedication, I was able to have complete custody of my son. Lorien's professionalism, compassion, and unwavering support made all the difference for my family. With her help, we have found peace again. I highly recommend Lorien to anyone in need of a skilled and caring attorney." She’s simply the best, thank you Lorien.

Lorien represented me in a difficult divorce and custody case that went to trial. She was always on point when questioning witnesses, never backing down to opposing counsel. As a mother herself, Lorien always has the best interest of the children at heart, and you never feel like you're just a case. I cannot say enough positive things about Lorien - she is the BEST!!! When things are High Conflict, you want Lorien fighting for you!

I was in Las Vegas from Italy to solve some paperwork that took me a long time until I was introduced to the lawyer M.V. Saladino. I risked returning to Italy without having solved anything but thanks to her I not only solved it but also in a very short time. I found a very helpful and prepared person. If I still need it, I know I can turn to her.

I simply cannot express the level of appreciation I have for Joseph Huggins. Mr. Huggins is a winner in every respect. While other Lawyers are looking for reasons to pass on a case, Mr. Huggins is looking for reasons to serve his clients. He hits the ground running! I was constantly kept informed and always an active ingredient in the decision making process. Mr. Huggins possesses a great deal of experience and extensive knowledge of both law and it's process. He has wonderful communication skills. He without question is 100% honest and above board! At no time did he show me any kind of condescending behavior or attitude. He planned a course to follow early on in the case and successfully followed it. I am a retired Business Person. I have worked with many types of Lawyers over many years. Win or loose, very few Lawyers can hold the superior level of excellence Mr. Huggins sets fourth.

Looking for the best lawyers in town? Why look any further, Joseph J. Huggins (Huggins & Maxwell Law office), is the best in Las Vegas. Joseph Huggins is more than qualified, with 30+ years of legal experience. During my experience with Joe, I felt like I was treated like family. Whenever I felt I needed to ask a question, or just speak to Joe, getting in contact with him was NEVER a problem. Joseph went above and beyond the "call of duty" assisting me with any and all needs that I had. I consider him "the best lawyer I've ever met!!!!" He handled my problems in a professional and timely manner. I felt like I was "treated like family", so to speak. I have no doubt, that I will consult Joseph J. Huggins for any and all legal needs I may have in the future. I back him and his law firm 110%. I would give him 10 stars if I could.... **********

I had an employee who thought he was an owner and tried slapping me with a bogus lawsuit spearheaded by an out of state wannabe lawyer. I immediately contacted Mr. Aiello to discuss my options. Good thing I did, He put the pieces together and formed a game plan to protect my assets and squashed the so called claim against my business. Mr Aiello got me moving forward again, I will definitely use his services again if I have to.

I was stuck in a bind with my child custody situation, and Mr. Albiston helped me get a new custody arrangement as quickly and easily as possible. Throughout the process, he kept me informed on what was going on and what to expect in the coming weeks and months. I appreciated his set fee, it meant I was free to call him whenever to ask questions and know I wasn't getting charged for every minute.
I have recommended Mr. Albiston multiple times already and would not hesitate to do so again to anybody in need of an attorney.

Mr. Albright is one of those rare resources you stumble across over your career where you wish you could clone his firm. CAPABILTY married with PRICING INTEGRITY. Very hard to find this breed and out of the scores of lawyers we have worked with globally, Chris Albright stands at the head of the line because you can TRUST.

I was referred to Chris to help with a business dispute between partners in a company where it was clear the partnership would be ended.
Chris was extremely helpful from the start. He assisted in developing the strategy to achieve our goal of ending the partnership and distribute the assets, but as in most cases like this emotions were running high and logic was not at the forefront of people's minds. Chris asked good questions, engaged the other patners' council in a discussion and negotiated a good exit for all parties.
He achieved results while keeping the case out of court and avoiding costly litigation. His skills, experience and knowledge have made him someone we go to for regular council. I highly recommend Chris.

Chris Albright has represented my company as legal counsel for the last five years, and he's simply outstanding to work with. Chris reviews all of our contracts, and has also advised us on matters with regard to employment law and other various matters. I couldn't imagine an attorney offering more timely or precise counsel than Chris. He's always right "on point," helping me as a business owner to make well-informed decisions.

I can't think of one negative word to describe the man or the attorney that John H. Mowbray is. His legal knowledge is outstanding, he is extremely responsive, I would trust him without question. He has always kept me informed, and always made sure that the charges don't exceed the ability to pay. In addition to his integrity, knowledge, etc. he is plain and simply a kind and generous person. I have had several occasions to ask Mr. Mowbray's assistance, both personal and business related. Most recently on an estate settlement, for which Mr. Mowbray has gone above and beyond to ensure proper settlement; and the creation of a Trust document - with which he paired me with additional office counsel, but remained informed of the progress continually.

Bud and his firm made our acquisition process the best it could be. It was apparent that he‘s done a ton of asset purchase agreements. At our initial consultation, we talked about what I wanted to see in the agreement and Bud suggested changes that would protect us as individuals and shareholders.
As we exchanged drafts with the buyer’s counsel, Bud caught several mistakes and regressions. He was on time and prepared for every call and meeting we had. Any time we met in person, copies of the agreements were on the conference table when we walked in, marked up and flagged with the items we were there to talk about. He made me feel like my business was important.
Learned a lot, and we got the deal done with what I feel were very favorable terms for me and my company. Highly recommended!

As a business owner living in Las Vegas for thirty years, I can definitely say that Bud is absolutely one of the best attorneys I have ever worked with . We recently retained his services to sell a large, multiple location business. Bud was a true professional. He gave his complete attention to my case and provided careful consideration to avoid problems before they happen. In addition, he listened and addressed our concerns, and kept them in mind throughout the process, The best bonus is that when we called we were able to speak with him personally every time. Within the firm he works with several attorneys who are a wealth of knowledge as well. For anyone seeking to sell or purchase a business or needing assistance with other business matters within his scope, I would highly recommend this firm hands down.

If you are ever in need of a personal injury attorney you cannot make a better choice than securing the services of Maxwell & Maxwell for your representation in your personal injury matter. My experience with Maxwell & Maxwell was beyond my expectation. My case was not a clear-cut simple run-of-the-mill personal injury case and the insurance company was about as hard-nosed as they come, but, with the diligence and hard work toward my case by Ms. Kristine Maxwell, my case was resolved in my favor and I would like to thank Ms. Maxwell for responding to phone calls, texts and emails from me in a timely matter.

If your looking for a Lawyer that actually cares about their clients, then look no further!!! Kristine is very polite and courteous, and her work is "BEYOND EXCEPTIONAL!" She handled my problems in a professional and timely manner, while also keeping me updated regularly. Her and her law firm go "ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY."

I was injured in a merchandise store because of their negligence. They refused to take any responsibility. We went to mediation and I was told I was likely to lose and if I recovered it would be less than 6 figures. My attorney Martin Little did an amazing job at trial and we not only prevailed, but I received significantly more than I was told was probable. I would highly recommend Martin Little. He is always responsive to me and is an incredible trial attorney.

I was injured in a Las Vegas casino. The casino denied all responsibility and concealed video coverage of my incident.
Martin Little went to war for me. After many depositions and court battles with the casino's hired guns, he proved the casino destroyed evidence and got sanctions against them.
He then got me a significant 7 figure recovery.
I would highly recommend Martin Little to other injured victims. He is always available day or night to talk and advise. He visited me on multiple occasions and personally handled all aspects of my case.
I cannot say enough positive things about Martin. It felt as though Martin was the professor and the casinos hired guns his students. Martin genuinely cared about my condition and fought like hell to get me compensated.

Before I relate the excellent legal representation in a Civil/DV matter I was provided by Mr. Ellis, I think it is important that I first say that aside from the legal issues, I have not met an attorney who so genuinely listened and understood my predicament. As if it was he himself who was facing the legal challenges I presented to him, with all the emergency and dire consequences at his door.
The otherside had an attorney. I thought I could represent myself, my case facts and rights were clear cut, then I found myself in front of a judge who clearly allowed WIDE discretion to the oppossing counsel, I was about to get steam rolled not by the facts but by legal precedures. I was granted a 2 day continuance by the judge, barely. Mr. Ellis despite having been hired with only 2 days time to prepare for my case, successfully represented me in court and rescued me from my lack of knowledge about how the system and the the courts can be not the easyest of places to navigate by oneself. Most people instinctively know when an attorney is personally invested in their client, I knew that within the first 10 minutes of meeting Mr. Ellis. Thank you Ryan, for being there when I needed it the most...

I was recommended by a friend of mine to Ryan earlier this year. I set up a consultation, discussed my business issues with him, and got a quote. He was very friendly, expressed his knowledge about my issues, and really knew what he was talking about. The meeting was great and i didnt feel pressured at all, like some of the other attorneys I visited with. Aer meeting with him, I did some research, called around, and found that he was a reputable attorney and respected by his colleagues.
I decided to hire Mr. Ellis. He walked. Me through the retainer agreement, took all of the documents I had with me and made copies, and asked me a few other questions regarding issues he brought up (that I didn't even I know I needed to talk about). He told me he would begin immediately and I left the office with a smile on my face.
I received an email from Mr. Ellis the next day with a copy of a letter he sent to the people who owed me money. Later that week, I got a call from Mr. Ellis to notify me that my case was settled and and I could either pick up the money I was owed or he could mail a check to me.
I have been trying to collect this money owed to me for so long, and it took Ryan around a week. He was always very professional and courteous to me, carried out all of his promises.
If any of you out there are looking for an attorney, I highly recommend Mr. Ryan Ellis. He is very knowledgeable, and if I ever need another attorney, I will absolutely be hiring Mr. Ellis again.

I really try to make a point of leaving an honest review when I encounter businesses that go out of their way to accommodate their clients. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like it's becoming a rare commody these days. Which is why it's all the more important to me to point it out when I come across exceptional people and businesses.
With that said, you won't find a better example of an exceptional business than James Kent Law LTD. Jamie has done an incredible job for our company. He has treated us as though he has a personal stake as a partner in our issues. He has made himself available in troubling times no matter what his workload is. He has, above all, offered us a wealth of knowledge with respect to a diverse array of business matters. Needless to say, he has been instrumental in our company's success.
I can say without hesitation, Jamie is one of the most well-rounded attorneys our company has encountered. To anyone looking for an attorney who is personable, down to earth, and extremely knowledgeable, you will not find a better candidate.

Jackie Ackerman, Esq. represented Sure Development where I was an Outside Financial Consultant for a period of about six months. During this period, I found Jackie to be a consummate legal counsel, as sure at drafting after-deal contracts as she is in assisting in the formation of deal-making terms. I have never once seen Jackie falter from any task ask of her, and the quality of her deliverables is as one would expect from a Harvard Law School grad.

Steve was in house counsel at a firm where I was appointed CFO to help lead a turnaround. To call it a mess is being very kind. There were backdoor deals, cash transactions and mis-representations galore. Somehow, Steve managed to keep us on the right path, help define the appropriate positions for the Company, soothe investor tensions and most importantly help us get it across the finish line.
I still have business in Las Vegas, and Steve is the only attorney I use. If we need to bring in other counsel, it is only at his referral.
Hire him, you will be pleased

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.
