If you want a lawyer who is 100% transparent and puts your needs first, hire this team. I've never regretted hiring Brett. He's punctual and thorough. He has this ability to be very respectful while saying it how it is, rather than sugar coating the situation. He won't mislead you just to get your business. In terms of expertise, they went above and beyond my high expectations.

Andrew was very helpful and accommodating. He provided all the forms and information we needed to set up our will and living will/medical directive. We had many questions and he answered them all. Andrew followed up to make sure everything got done when we needed it. I recommend Andrew's services, especially for anyone with a lot of questions.

Everything was done in a timely manner. I felt like a valued client. All questions I had were answered well. I will definitely use Mr. Lillywhite again. We were correcting mistakes made on a property title and its history. Namely transferring a dual ownership to a single ownership. In the process Mr. Lillywhite found a loan had not been properly reconveyed. As a result of performance from Mr. Lillywhite, the lender complied with our requests. Had it not been for his expertise, my property would have been in jeopardy.
THANK YOU LILLYWHITE BUSINESS LAW.

I fully recommend Seth Tait. He has earned my trust, my confidence, and my sincerest appreciation. I hired him to assist with my divorce, now I wouldn't dare use any other attorney.
Seth fights smart, fast, and efficiently. He is focused, knows what he's doing, and negotiates like a boss. He even finds ways to save me money off HIS bill. He is fiercely capable of making things happen and he has offered much more than legal counsel when it's been needed.
Needing a lawyer is rough, I know. But if you're gonna pay somebody, pay someone who knows what they're doing and who will actually help you. Someone who is accessible, reasonable, honest, real, and driven. For me, that's Seth.

I would highly recommend him and his firm!!!! for any of your legal needs.

Been trying to get this settled for 2 and half years. Not impressed with the service or really anything they have done. We have to call them and call again and again. If you want to have any results then don't use this company. It's crazy that we knew more about what payments would be taken in full by the health insurance company than they did. I'm sure there's someone that understands the law better than this company. Keep looking.

We were referred to Trevin to help us get an LLC organized for our new business (we were told we might need more than what an online service would offer). We are new to all this, so we called and talked with his secretary about meeting with him to ask some questions and see what would be best for our situation. We scheduled an appointment for 3pm one day, and had babysitters coordinated and our schedules cleared so we could meet with him. My husband got a call from Trevin at 2pm while he was at work. We don't know if this error was just a matter of convenience for Trevin or a mistake by his secretary, but my husband could hardly hear him let alone focus on their conversation with the noise and demands of his work, and Trevin didn't seem to care that there had been a mistake with the time. They talked briefly about what we potentially needed then ended the conversation. We had multiple questions we had wanted to ask, price being one of them, that we never had the chance to, and we had planned everything out to meet with him for nothing. We then received an email with a link to the draft of the paperwork for our LLC a few days later. We emailed him back and asked what the price would be to move forward with all this, and he replied with an outrageous amount that we couldn't afford. When we asked for clarification on what we were getting having him do it vs. forming our LLC online, he started spotting off jargon left and right, which seemed to us like he was trying to intimidate us into using his services because he knew we wouldn't understand the terms he was throwing out. We replied and said we needed to go a different direction, not only because we couldn't afford him, but because we didn't like how he never seemed to be upfront with us and wasn't a teacher AT ALL. We then received a bill in the mail for $250 for the phone, call, three emails, and creating the draft (which was extremely simple for a sole owner LLC). To us that spoke a lot of his character, are very relieved we decided not to work with him. We understand his time and expertise are valuable, but when the communication is horrible from the get-go and we pay the price for it, there's something wrong with that. And of course, because he's an attorney, we feel like we have no power to fight this, so we will just end up paying him anyway. He might be a decent lawyer for someone who can call him on his crap and has years of business and law experience, but for anyone that is just starting out, he is far from helpful.

Mr. Workman helped with with a complicated real estate transaction. He was always responsive, quick to take action, and good at dealing with some cantankerous parties involved in the transaction. I have dealt with other attorneys in the Logan area on similar cases, but Workman was by far the best. I would certainly recommend him to my friends.

Horrible job! We went to court and not once did he fight for me or stand up for me. Half the time I'd ask him questions about stuff we talked about previously and he had no clue what I was talking about. He is not personable at all either. Could care less about what the ruling was over our case. My biggest mistake was hiring him.

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.
