My wife was served with a civil lawsuit in Cobb County for an outstanding debt. I called Robert Kaiden, and he and Cristina responded immediately and took her case. Both attorneys reacted quickly to the lawsuit and were able to secure a complete voluntary dismissal of all charges within a reasonable time frame. These two attorneys are a credit to themselves and to the legal profession. I would HIGHLY recommend their services to anyone seeking legal action on debt-related matters.

Would absolutely recommend Mr. Kaiden and his wife Cristina are both awesome! At the beginning of last year, I ended up with two lawsuits being filed against me by junk debt buyers and I was in a panic. I calling their office and spoke with Robert; within 15 minutes, I already felt better and knew right away that they knew exactly what they were doing and were just as passionate about fighting my cases as I was.
Mr. Kaiden was non-judgmental, patient and answered every question I had and were always honest and up-front during the entire process on both of my cases.
Kaiden and team were super easy to work with and went out of their way to come up with a payment schedule that worked for me. Ultimately, he was able to have both of my cases Settled with mutual dismissal.

Matthew is a very thorough and competent attorney who always had my best interests in mind. Matthew would not hesitate to tell me when he had to curb our actions based on what would be more beneficial for me as the client. I was always informed when Matthew was my attorney, and I always felt like I was in very good hands. He is very professional, responsive, detail oriented, never missed a scheduled meeting and he always took my calls. What I especially liked about Matthew was his ability to remain calm while I was in the middle of a crisis situation.
Matthew became a key part of my life during some very tough times, I owe a debt of gratitude to him for his service. He is a solid lawyer who practices nothing but the best customer service methods. I felt honored to have Matthew McMaster as my counsel and I highly recommended.
Cheers!

Justin is a remarkable lawyer! I have had a bit of experience with attorneys and I must say they have not all been favorable. Justin is ethical, and exposes the truth. I had a contentious exhaustive high net worth divorce. Justin fought diligently and expeditiously to get to a settlement, and when he presented our case in court his argument was comprehensive, articulate and spot in every time! More than that he cares and it is evident in all he dedication to his clients. He also handled a corporate case in which my ex sued me during the divorce. Justin was again business savvy and completely understand and was able to unmask the situation. He gets numbers, custody and business and I would not hire anyone else.

Mr. Welch was assigned to me though Cobb County Courts years ago. After helping me with that case, I hired him for several more. From a divorce to a DUI. He is the ONLY attorney I would ever use and have since recommended him to others.

Having Eric Welch represent me in my DUI case was a godsend. I was facing a 3rd DUI and I was very concerned about my future. I have never felt like previous lawyers I spoke to listened to my struggles nor cared until now. He was always readily available to answer all me questions. He took my case extremely seriously and seemingly personal. Eric Welch was able to get the courts to reduce my charge to a Reckless Driving and I couldn’t have been happier with his services. Had I retained any other attorney, I do not think I would have obtained the result that I did. I highly recommend him.

I called Saeed and explained my traffic ticket; unlike the other lawyers who wanted me to hire them immediately and pay them up front. Saeed advised me that my traffic ticket was a simple expiry of tag and that i should be able to pay the fine without paying thousands to any lawyer. He was more of a physician watching out for the best interest of his client instead of a businessman looking out for the best for himself. I can not thank him enough for giving the best advice in a simple and understandable language. I highly recommend Saeed for his principles and practise of law.

Saeed is a fantastic attorney and just a genuinely caring guy. His office is in a very nice area, and conveniently located. He spent more time with me than I've ever experienced from an attorney, and he was quick to find answers to all my questions. He handled my case extremely efficiently, and even made me laugh a couple times.
I'd recommend Mr. Mahallati to anyone. I actually picked up a stack of his cards because lawyers like him will actually give lawyers a good name.
Also, he speaks various languages. If you're in the market for a Persian / Iranian speaking attorney, then he's your guy.

When I face intractable situations and unmanageable principals, I turn to Byron for guidance. Byron keeps core business goals first in mind, finding legal solutions that support, rather than delay or thwart, the mission. Byron has assisted me from coast to coast with development issues, negotiation of anchor leases (in record time), the sale of premier properties and complex repositioning of distressed assets. Critically, Byron is mobile and can get to the scene fast when the personal touch is necessary to keep a deal moving. Peerless, and a joy to work with.

Byron was exceptionally qualified to advise us on the lease negotiations for our restaurant. We were first timers, and depended on his knowledge of the technical/legal aspects of our contract, perspectives on market conditions and great personable service to make the process run smoothly. He is a good negotiator and high integrity to get the deal done on time and at reasonable costs.
I would highly recommend Byron to others with similar needs.

I retained Kareem to handle my husbands probation violation charge. So I drove 7 hours to Georgia, so he could clear his name. However, while turning his self in we found out that he had an old speeding ticket that needed to be handled as well. When I tell you that Kareem, was in touch, on the job and knew exactly what he was doing. That alone made me feel much better. Long story short my husband was finally able to clear his name and get his license back. I thank god for directing me in Kareem's direction, it was the BEST decision ever. I would definitely recommend his service.

My T.V. attorney was over his head,but by the true Grace of God, he knew Ed. I was summoned to his office to hear the bad news that they were only offering 25k for my case. I was devastated, I had 3 minor children and couldn't return to work. Mr.Tv had referred me to a workman's comp attorney ,who had me sign a broad release, which later endangered my settlement. Now, I needed a contract lawyer. Ed came in, read the contract and reassured me he would get me what I deserved or at least in the ballpark. He gave me his personal cell number and told me to call him anytime(he answers his phone ,too). After several surgeries, physical therapy, depositions, mediations, late night phone calls and a lot of prayer, Ed did it. My case went from 25k to 300k, from there to 550k. He could have gotten me more but I decided to settle. I was ready to get my life back it had been years waiting. Edward Stabell, was by then a trusted friend. Don't give up on you, Ed won't!

Never able to talk to the attorney. The secretary is a wall. When I gave a surprise visit, she had not even printed my documents. Again nothing happening, nothing to sign for 3 months. When requested assistance on how to deal with the suits i was served, the answer was a clear NO. Gave them another surprise visit, the wall did not even let me inside the office and she was acting annoyed. I am starting to think she doesn't like Hispanics.
For 3 months I waited and was never given anything to review amounts or to sign. Just emails requesting another P&L for the new month.
I am asking a refund of the $313 and I'm being ignored once again. Why not tell me NO from the beginning so I could find someone else that can be willing to speak to their clients.
Update: finally acknowledged after my review. Refund received. I have email proving you denied to help me to answer the suits which I was willing to pay you of course, I was not asking for a free ride on anything.

4/19/24 Respondent was served
6/3/2024 45 day period for response elapsed.

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.
