The Beckman Law Firm provided absolute professionalism and with vast knowledge of the Law and Colorado Judicial Systems ended a marriage with annulment. The case was unusual because there were multiple marriages found and Adam Beckman proved it flawlessly and completely. Thank you for a job well done.

I have known Adam Beckman for about 15 years. 12 years ago he represented me in a challenging situation and produced great results. Adam is very straightforward, a "No beat around the bush" type of lawyer. He is very thorough when explaining to a client what the options are and how to get those results. I find his fees to be fair based on the results achieved.The Beckman Law Firm is prompt in it's communication from the top down. His staff is very courteous and knowledgeable. Today we closed a case involving my son who is incarcerated outside the State of Colorado. That made it challenging. Adam accomplished exactly what he said was possible. This is due undoubtedly to the respect he has earned amongst his peers and the courts. God Bless you Adam Beckman and thank you for a job well done my Friend. Gratefully yours, Randy Moe

Inquired to see the specifics as to construction defect procedure. I am a Community Association Manager who was looking to assist my community. Shane and his team advised me on process and requirements. I was advised HF would look at my situation and it would be free of charge. Shane Fleener was understanding and did not charge for my questions. I was also assisted by Danielle Holley. She was quick in her responses and helped when Shane was unavailable. If you are in a situation like myself I would recommend this group to just take a look. They are A+ in my book.

A contractor placed a lien on my property. I hired an attorney that did me wrong. Spoke with several attorneys who wouldn't handle because it was too small of case. Called Craig and he was happy to help. Because of a biased judge making a biased ruling against me, we had no choice but to go all the way to the state appeals court. We won the appeal (which also stated the lower court was wrong in their decision) due to Craig's great arguments contained in the motions of my defense. After the win from the appeals court, we were able to eventually settle the case rather than going to trial. Though it was a very long process, due to no fault of Craig's, I ultimately recovered some of the money I was due. Wouldn't have happened without Craig. If you have a civil situation, would recommend you call Craig!

I refer a lot of people to Steve Cook! He combines a sincere warmth with tactical competence, strength and tenacity. I have found him to be dogged in his efforts to thoughtfully guide his clients to safer ground, while advocating for them in every way imaginable. Mr. Cook has the unique ability to balance toughness and tenderness in his comprehensive approach to client protection and well-being.

Brian is the best! My former employer really went after me, saying all sorts on untruths that sounded terrible and made me look like villain. I was anxious and stressed but Brian couldn't have been more comforting and knowledgable. We won the appeal and I'm very sure I would not have on my own. Brian does have the most calming, professional and kind demeanor. He's the best at what he does and I couldn't believe that I could also afford his services as I am hurting so much financially.

On behalf of my wife and myself, we thank Brian enough from the bottom of our hearts for the work he did in getting us the insurance company coverage for our legal battle. It was truly a miracle to us. I don't know how you did it but I am not going to question it either. After reading our policy over and over we could see no way possible that the insurance company would give us any coverage for any reason. Yet Brian found a way. We will forever be grateful to Brian for his efforts as he probably saved us from a life of poverty in our retirement years. Thanks is just not good enough but I don't have the words to express it any better. So... Thank you! Thank you! Thank you Brian!

Craig has been more extraordinary than I could have imagined on this inevitability terrifying journey through the family court system. His expertise and professional connections proved to be the edge we needed in finding the right help for securing the very best for my son. Craig’s comprehensive approach leaves nothing to uncertainly and we achieved the very BEST outcome we could have imagined thanks to Craig.

Judith assisted us in our agreement with our egg donor. It’s clear to us that her experience and knowledge in the field is the result of years committed to the fertility and legal fields. She was a supportive, kind advocate from our initial meeting through the completion of the agreement. She was very clear about cost and timeline expectations and delivered as promised. Our particular agreement was a “split-cycle” for sharing eggs with our donor. She took the time to carefully understand our situation and craft an agreement that reflected our needs. Everything has gone smoothly! Thank you, Judith!

Armstrong Graham has exceeded all of my high expectations. Previously, with another firm, I had spent thousands of dollars and so little results. Armstrong was completely transparent and totally upfront with expectations of what kind of money it should take. He follows up with me regularly and clearly lays out what the next steps are and how that pertains to me. Interview Armstrong for your next legal needs. After speaking to him I hand ZERO desire to interview anyone else. During our initial first phone call I was at complete peace just knowing that he was the one to be in my corner and represent me. I couldn’t be more happy with my legal choice.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
