I have used Geoff Hawkins and his firm on a number of occasions for a number of different legal actions. He always explains the process and potential outcomes with all of my cases and keeps me informed as things transpired. He is the only attorney I recommend to all my friends and family as I know he is a good guy and does right by his clients...

I usually never write reviews but after all the wonderful help and support that I received at the Law Offices of Hawkins -Melendrez, I felt that I needed to share my experience with others.
I highly recommend anyone in need of an attorney to contact Geoffrey Hawkins. This is the second time that I needed representation from an attorney and quite frankly I was nervous because I had a horrible experience with my first attorney. I didn't know what to expect when I began searching for another attorneys but after contacting Mr. Hawkins I felt comfortable right from the beginning. He's a very knowledgeable,cordial and experienced attorney. he guided me from the first email we exchaged and then answered all my questions and concerns when we met in person. he explained every step of the way and what to expect during the process. Geoffrey Hawkins definitely exceeded my expectations in regards to settling my case. I would highly recommend Geoffrey Hawkins and best of all, the fees are as reasonable as you'll find!

Cynthia handled a difficult, multi-party case with a tremendous amount of diligence, professionalism, knowledge, and patience. Her efforts resulted in a positive outcome for her clients, and it was a pleasure to work with her. I'd recommend Cynthia highly.

Cynthia consistently approached our very complex bankruptcy case calmly and with a level head. With more than a dozen defendants (individuals and entities) and over 100 allegations in multiple actions leveled by an very aggressive creditors committee, Cynthia handled our case professionally at all times. This case was often frustrating to me, and Cynthia was patient in hearing my gripes and providing counsel within the bounds defined by the law. I learned so much from my involvement in this action, some from observation but much of it from discussions with Cynthia.
Bottom line for any review is "would you work with this person again?" I hope not, because I hope to never find myself in such a position again! Knock on wood, but if I do find myself in need of legal service again, I would be glad to work with Cynthia.

This Review is to recommend this man based on his genuine character and helpfulness via the phone. my slogan is " when you absolutely Need Him CALL Needham!" because Evan Took the time to call me back on two occasions and help me with some ideas with solution driven practical advice for a local issue regarding casino bi-law policy and trespass law. this is not even his area of practice but Evan took the time to help a local man who is really hurt by a situation. this guy Evan is first rate and i recommend anyone going to him based on his authentic character and willingness to listen to you when no one else may. Sometimes its worth the money just to have someone understand you to be honest. in this world it can really be hard when no one can understand your situation and Evan is patient and very helpful.
Thanks Again Mr. Evan

I contacted Mr. Needham regarding a real estate contract where the opposite party was not acting ethically and seemed to be breaking the rules. Mr. Needham was quick to point out the exact rules they were in violating. He was extremely helpful. His advice and knowledge of the real estate laws has probably saved myself and my client from a situation that could have caused a lot of problems. Best real estate attorney I have met in Las Vegas--so helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks so much--you are a life saver!!

Like many in Las Vegas I was one of those who had bought a house at the wrong the time - 10 years ago! My house was so upside down and I had invested SO MUCH in it, it was hard just 'letting go' like many would tell me to do. One other lawyer I saw, asked me "What are you attached too? are you attached to stucco?! Just do a bankruptcy and start over" but I just couldn't accept the letting go of my home. Like many others, I tried doing loan modifications. Year after year with all the wrong people. I would wait so long to even be able to talk them about my process and at the end their offer would never benefit me in the long term - all i was doing was buying time. Eventually I got to a place where my house was going to be sold within a couple months. That letter really wrecked me.
That's when I found these guys. They were my last resort. I only found them right at the end and I probably had 30 days left before I would lose my home. At the time I sat down with Sean and he evaluated my situation. He was upfront about my options, and while doing so, he spoke and typed numbers in his calculator... while taking notes on paper and checking a million other things in his computer.. doing it all so fast.. his language was mostly 'numbers', and I was like "Who is this guy?!..." well this guy (together with their whole team) was right about everything he told me. The whole team working collectively, saved my home. And I got approved for a good loan modification. I was pretty happy and couldn't believe I still had that home. A couple of years later other loan mod programs came up and I thought, well, maybe I can try those. Once again we sat down and spoke numbers and facts and I said "I want to try again" Sean was a bit skeptical this time, he thought I already had a good loan (and I did) but my gut said "try again" and that's what we did. I not only got approved for a GREAT loan-mod, I was also one of the few, that got approved for a principal reduction. My loan was cut in half, and the new loan-mod reflected that change.
After all was done, I waited a year and I decided I wanted to settle my second mortgage. Well, guess who helped again and were extremely effective at it! I was then done with all!! :)
I referred them to everyone I knew that had a house and was going through similar situation. My friends did go to them and they also got approved for better loan modifications then what they had. I have no doubts in my mind (speaking from experience) that the Vohwinkel & Associates, are the best team in Las Vegas, when it comes to handling a bankruptcy or real state law.. they just have so much experience from doing it, year and after year. Go to the best, don't waste your time with the unexperienced!

Mr. Gustafson, returned my phone call within a couple of hours. He was interested in understanding my request and genuinely interested in assisting me. He asked questions and gave me some direction on how to proceed. He called me the following day and told me that he would review the document and call me back. Mr. Gustafson is personable, appears to be highly knowledgeable and was sincerely engaged in our conversation. Thank you for assisting me in contacting him. I believe I will get a few answers and know how to proceed. I felt a little more peace after speaking with him.

My company has worked closely with Byron for >10 years, and I can't say enough about how helpful he's been! Trucking companies like mine sometimes find themselves in interesting legal waters, and Byron has never failed to deliver, year after year and case after case. Sure, like any good attorney, he's busy; but in his uniquely responsive style, he always keeps us informed and ahead of the game. He is very knowledgeable about the current state of transportation law, and I can trust him to represent us with honesty and kindness. He makes it easy for us to focus on what we do best--trucking your stuff all over the planet!

Exceptional , Honest, Honorable, Knowledgeable, Intelligent, Highly Skilled One of the Most Trustworthly Ethical attorneys I have ever been priviledged to work with. He has helped me on numerous occasions as well as helping several of my clients.
He definitely gets my Highest Recomendation !! Whatever your legal needs if he cannot personally take care of it, he will make sure another of his collegues does. I have worked with several legal professionals in the past but none as charactered and awesome as Nikoll Nikci. I met Nikoll over a year ago having been referred to him with one of my clients for their bankruptcy foreclosure needs and since that time Nikoll has helped me and many of my other co workers and friends. He has been a guide and help in every legal need I have brought to him which have been many in various financial needs areas. He knows just what to do in every situation or you can trust him to find the answer. He does not put up with any nonsense and gets the job done Well. He is 10 steps ahead of anyone I have ever needed any legal protection from which puts him on my "A" list. He has made my life easier which I really appreciate. Anyone would benefit from his professional knowledge and services. I have worked with several attorneys over the years but Nikoll is the one out of all of them I would return to time and again for his advise and legal help. Well Done Nikoll !! I highly recommend Nikoll Nikci for any financial legal need you may have !!

She always spoke to me as a person, and ensured that I was kept apprised of the case updates as they happened. I was extremely impressed with her intelligence and drive to achieve the end a result we were hoping for. A BIG win against a large employer.

He was on the case since day 1 and along with Terrry Moore these 2 attorneys are super knowledgeable with the current real estate laws in Vegas. Not only that they are very reputable based on their billings and the efficiency and results they bring. I would not hesitate to consult and utilize Cody's expertise next time in any real estate matter.

I met this attorney many years ago when he was representing another party in a mutual negotiation and thought at the time the other party was receiving outstanding representation. Many years later when the time came that I was in need of legal counsel for a very serious business matter I immediately thought of him. I retained him and he has done an outstanding job representing my interests. If you need an aggressive litigator after all attempts at negotiation fail, I highly recommend this attorney. He comes well prepared, thinks outside the box and will keep you fully informed. The most impressive thing though, he is an extremely honest man that possesses the highest degree of integrity. How's that for an attorney?

I called in to his office to ask questions about a legal matter I was having. The secretary put me on hold and Frank answered, looking for another client. He politely asked me my why I was calling and ended up talking to me for 15 minutes. He told me some things I didn't want to hear, but needed to, and also some things that made me feel alot better about my next step. I ended up hiring him and I'm glad I did. He's a hard worker, and a straight shooter. You don't see a whole lot of that anymore.

Consulted with this attorney on a real estate matter. Was well informed, and best of all, was practical. Answered all my questions, was prompt and available when he said he would be. I would recommend him again, and probably seek out his counsel if additional legal advice was needed, but thanks to him the consultation was all we needed to resolve the matter with the opposing party.

Richard is the kindest, most sincere attorney I have ever came across in life anywhere in the world. He settled our high problematic Immigration problem with care and concern. He went over and beyond all the contractual agreements we had to ensure our success was concluded.
He started in Washington State, moved to Nevada, and never stopped continuing just like we sat together in a room but separated by states, and even when I didn't get it or was way behind, he picked up my slack to keep the case in-front of the government and active by doing a lot of my work.
Richard is truly the best, and working like this in this tough world, I am sure the clients will line up to have a genuine person representing them.

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.
