Mr. Bagazinski was great during the closing for the purchase of my home. For my wife and I, this was our first home purchase. He was very knowledgeable on what to look for within the documents to make sure everything was done correctly. He took the time to explain each document to us. This gave us a great peace of mind that everything was done correctly. He answered all the of questions we had. Our closing experience was made much easier having him with us. I would highly recommend Gerald Bagazinski.

Dean was the comfort I needed especially being that I had never been in a situation before that required representation. I was so scared but Dean and his colleague went above and beyond to instruct and comfort me and at the end it was more scare than damage (if at all). Really fell in good hands the entire time.

I was referred by a law firm to speak with Tim regarding a property management conflict I’m having at my apartment building. I had been calling around all day to speak to an attorney and receive some guidance on this issue, Tim carefully and emphatically explained steps I should take to resolve the matter at hand. I wish he specialized in the case that I am seeking because he is very knowledgeable and considerate of my situation.

We were in the process of suing a construction company we had problems big problems then Tracy refer us to another contractor to clean up the mess that the 1st company did and at 1st he was working out well and then he used $3500 of our money for his lawsuit or bills did note by our tile at all left the house unfinished electrical floors bathroom never finished. Then she told us she had a talk with her professor that she Had in college for ethics in supposably he told her that she had to drop one of her clients either us or Ascot home improvement she chose Not to help us after we paid them $3000 plus another $700 for some retired judge who was senile. Not a pleasant experience with that company I'm pretty sure that we were just a fill in. Ascott home services was referred by mormando law had work done to their house and it was not a good job so they hierd Scott Brooks to finish or corrected. Well of course Scott Brooks did a good job for them they are lawyers and I did not know they were representing him a lawsuits so they got rid of me talking about ethics and the ethics was that Scott Brooks was making them more money than I was that's mormando ethics

Working with Tracey has been an absolute pleasure. She is very professional, but at the same time, gets connected with you on a comfortable, personal level. She listens, is extremely reasonable, and understandable. She kept me abreast of all pertinent information and worked with me diligently to reach the same goals. She was knowledgeable, relatable, determined and effective attorney who delivered the exact results I needed.
I was extremely pleased with my outcome and would not hesitate to recommend her for any legal need. If you have a real estate issue and you want an attorney that is experienced, unpretentious, and will provide you with the best representation, you should retain the services of Tracey Guisbert!!

Tracey has been extremely helpful every step of the way. She set up our LLC for us as well as a trust. She did this in a timely manner, while still being effective and efficient, as well as constantly keeping in touch with us throughout the short process. She continues to go out of her way to go above and beyond to help our business move forward in any way that she can. I would absolutely recommend her services to any and all who are looing for a great attorney. Tracey simply is one of the best in the business!!

If you want real results I highly recommend this firm for any of your family, criminal, personal injury, or general civil legal matters.

If you want an attorney who cares and LISTENS to you call Gary Klein ! I cannot sing the praises enough !! I was a complete wreck before speaking to him this morning. He calmed my nerves , opened my eyes and showed me how the case may work or not work. Total transparency and complete professionalism. He has 100 % restored my faith in attorneys. Ron Acho answered ny first call and I thought he was the kindest attorney I had ever spoken to - then he referred me to Mr. Klein ( as he is the real estate guru at the firm ) and Gary Klein has just knocked it out of the park with his guidance I am confident I can win my case. Use this firm you will be happily surprised to find attorneys who genuinely care about you and your well being.

Update as of 12/3/23. I will not share reasons as to why, but after learning of certain things, I can no longer give Jim Acho a good standing review due to a change in circumstances and ongoing litigation. Due to privacy and respect for Jim, and more importantly, my ongoing case, I will not share these details, but I regret hiring them as my counsel. 1 star.

David Brunell was hired to oversee and execute a will and estate of a passed family member. It is over a year since the passing and we still do not have proper documentation or accounting or several other things we should have at this point. Do to David's lack of communication we were forced to hire another attorney just to follow up with this attorney. Very unresponsive and takes forever to follow up with anything. Constant excuse after excuse why things are not done in the time frame they were supposed to be. Very unprofessional and very inefficient.

I am absolutely appalled by the actions of Alexander Lyzohub. My dad, who is currently in a psychiatric hospital, previously sought advice about divorce and paid this lawyer $2,000, expecting meaningful help. Instead, he got nothing but vague advice from someone who isn’t even a divorce attorney. Neither of my parents filed for divorce.
Now, to add insult to injury, we’ve requested a refund due to the lack of services provided, and this “lawyer” is refusing to give us our money back and is financially exploiting someone whom is mentally unstable. It’s incredibly disheartening to see someone take advantage of a vulnerable situation like this. My father trusted him to help him during a tough time, and all he did was drain our bank account without delivering anything of value, my mother and I are now left destitute. I urge anyone considering Alexander Lyzohub to think twice—this has been a completely terrible experience.

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.
