I don’t even know where to start, but from the bottom of my heart, I thank you Jae (when it was only you) from the beginning, I remember coming back from Russia not knowing where to start and look and I went to Google and looked up immigration lawyer near me and Jae place came up and then the rest is history. I thank you Jae and your team for the entire process, 7 years with you by our side made this process easy going and not stressful at all. Again I thank you very much, I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a hardworking, very friendly, flexible, trustworthy lawyer. Again, thank you very much!

My wife and I were very happy with the service, professionalism, and attention to detail that the team at the Francis Law Center gave to our family-based permanent residency application. They were very responsive to any questions we had during the process; they were realistic and honest in their advice; and they had a very organized and clear process that helped us enormously in putting our application together. We're very grateful, and would recommend them highly.

After working with this firm for years, I had an extremely disappointing interaction earlier this year. I hired this law firm to set up a trust that was outlined in my parents’ will. I had a single meeting in which a lawyer gathered information from me and then sent the lawyer vthe will to review, with the understanding that they would set up the trust. The lawyer that I met with left the firm. The firm told me that they no longer had anyone who could set up the trust. I had already paid them $400 — for which I received no legal advice and no trust documents. I asked for them to refund the money, as they did not do the task and I got no legal advice, and they refused.

I recently worked with Liz Bach-Van Horn, and I couldn't be more elated with the end result!! The entire process was lengthy and complex, she was extremely communicative and thorough. I felt very confident in her abilities and she allowed me to feel supported throughout the process. Highly recommend!!

Worked with Will K after a recent layoff to review and understand my severance. Will was great, responsive, and laid things out in a way I could understand. I would recommend Pines Bach if you're looking for legal guidance.

I wanted to write this review and recognize Attorney Joe Bugni and his assistant Trinity for their hard work and dedication in helping my wife and I.
Navigating through the legal system can seem to be an overwhelming task. When my wife and I needed legal help we contacted Mr. Bugni for help. Mr. Bugni sat down with us, took notes, and devised a plan with his assistant Trinity on how best to address our situation. Mr. Bugni and Trinity talked to us like old friends, not attorney and clients, putting us very much at ease.
As our case proceeded Trinity put together a timeline and outlined our case, so we could understand it. Trinity was always available and answered all questions we asked.
Trinity and Mr. Bugni presented our case in terms that we could understand, which makes us feel better knowing what is happening.
My wife and I strongly recommend Mr. Bugni and Trinity if you find yourself needing legal advice. They will take the time to sit down with you, listen, and provide a plan that you understand. Mr. Bugni and Trinity make themselves available, and answer any and all questions you may have.
Thank you Mr. Bugni and Trinity for all of your help, and for taking time to help us navigate through the legal process.

Worked with them for my divorce and truly wish I'd of gave up and found a new attorney to work with. Was charged for any email sent or received even when I was being asked for paperwork I'd already turned in and for them to redo paperwork I'd already done literally nickle and dime you to death. They claim to be "father's rights" while I felt like I was pushed to accept getting wrecked in court. do yourself a favor and find someone else.

Maria Sobrido is an excellent attorney.
I had a highly contested divorce where my ex tried to throw everything she got at me to get full custody and primary placement of the child, tried to sell the house I live in. Maria Sobrido started to represent me as a divorce attorney about one month after I filed for the divorce. I don’t know how I am so lucky to have found her. Maria has extensive knowledge about family law and she is very experienced attorney with thousands of cases under her belt. Maria is very good in the courtroom too, and during pretrial conferences the opposing counsel paled in comparison to Maria. I think even the commissioner noticed that. One thing I learned the hard way is I should do everything Maria says to the tee. For example, how I should talk to my ex, how I should run things I want to do in the divorce by Maria first, instead going rogue. Maria has helped me prepare to meet with Guardian ad Litem and to meet with Custody Evaluator. And when I was ready to give up, Maria said no and I am glad I listened. Even though my ex wanted to go to trial, Maria settled the case with a stipulation, where everything was fair. I get to keep my child 50% of the time and I get to keep the house. I knew the divorce attorney fees will be high no matter what attorney I would use, but with Maria every minute she spent on my case has had tremendous value to me (and my child). During a year long divorce I did feel like my case was a priority, even though Maria being a good lawyer has other cases to work on too. She is so good, I almost want to get married and divorced again so she will be my divorce attorney 😊

On Wednesday, June 12, 2024, I contacted The Law Center, S.C. and spoke with paralegal Stephanie. I was emailed an offer to consult, scheduled a zoom meeting with Cedric for next week Tuesday, June 18, 2pm-4pm.
I made the $350 payment, then received an email from Stephanie on the same day stating that The Law Center, S.C. was unable to assist me. I was told to contact an attorney in Minnesota where I live, the other family members concerned live in Wisconsin. On The Law Center, S.C. website it states that Cedric is licensed in both Minnesota and Wisconsin.
It's definitely not good business to accept, schedule appointments with clients, take their money then decline their case. Especially because your attorney team claims to care about families.

In my opinion, Attorney David S. DeHorse, is a real piece of work. If you hear any of these phrases, run. This is a slam dunk case, I’ll get you fees and double damages, I thought I sent that, I have very little time in this, or any other statement that leads you on, run. Actually, my Wife won our case and not Attorney David S. DeHorse. He did do the paperwork, but when it came to nut-cutting time, we did the heavy lifting. My Wife found a voice mail on our phone from the Defendant that blew this case wide open. In addition, I gave written instructions on the number to settle on. Well, after the final billing we’re $842.61 dollars short. I wonder where the money went?

With the new landlord/tenant laws in place in Wisconsin -- it is more now, than ever for the landlord. My husband and I retained Atty. DeHorse because we had an issue with our landlord. Briefly, he wanted to charge us $3,000+ for damages to the home we rented. We were upset and determined to fight them tooth and nail. With Atty. DeHorse's help -- we won! If you need help because your landlord is being everything BUT a landlord -- call Atty. DeHorse. HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU!!!!!

Quoted a range of $500-700 for review of FSBO closing. Total invoice was nearly $1500. Bill contained charges for earnest money holding which we were not informed would incur a charge - could have held this with the title company for no extra fee. Phone calls that were less than 2 minutes long were billed as .3hrs of time. A phone call with a potential buyer (that should have been directed to me as I did not authorize him to speak to them without me present) cost us $200, etc. And to top it off none of the information provided ended up being of any additional value to our sale as he had the title company actually prepare the documents so we had to pay them as well. All we got was “things look to be in order”. Definitely not worth our money!

Our experience with Richard King Law Offices LLC was very informative. Mr King and his associate were very professional and knowledgeable.
They made what was a dreaded job to get done, in our minds, a rewarding and pleasant experience. It has taken a huge load off of my husband's and my mind.
We are giving them a five star rating for our total satisfaction.
Thanks to Mr King and Cheryl for a job well done

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.
