Teresa was simply amazing. To say the least she helped my husband and I through a difficult matter. This took time , patience and she kept a us at ease through the entire process. She was consistent and thorough, exactly what is needed. We were at a loss not knowing what our next course of action would be. We were so overwhelmed and tired of the cat chase the other party was giving us. Teresa explained and advised the next steps, and got the job done. We are more than thrilled with her services. She takes her time to understand you. Teresa thank you for everything.

I was looking for a potential lawyer for a breach of contract case and came across Nathan on avvo. I sent an email to his firm describing my situation and we scheduled a phone call during which Nathan explained where I stand, my options and having that information made it very easy for me to plan my next step. I ended up not hiring Nathan because from an option stand point hiring a lawyer doesn't really make sense. If I need to hire a lawyer in the area on Nathan's firm I would be going there first, he is great.

When my wife passed away a year ago, I engaged Herbst Law Group to handle estate matters. Briana Nashawaty was my attorney.

I highly recommend both Herbst Law Group and Briana to handle your estate matters.

This was my first time ever needing to retain legal council - and Briana Nashawaty WAS the breath of fresh air I needed!! I went into this completely blind desperately trying to understand and navigate through my fathers estate in MA while I reside in AZ. Briana's guidance was top notch. She was so patient and always made sure I understood what she was doing and why. Thank you again to Herbst Law Group and especially to Briana Nashawaty!! Highly recommended!!!

Andrew is amazing, professional, quick, and reasonably priced. He helped me with draw up a contract with a long-term house guest and I think that the contract was one key reason why the house guest situation was successful. More recently, Andrew is doing pro-bono work for Amherst Survival Center. He has already reviewed one contract and will be reviewing another one in a couple of months. I recommend Andrew whole heartedly.

Lawyer was great
But fair warning, they will keep taking money from you after all of your invoices are paid and they will completely ghost you. Use a card ONLY to set up payments. One you can cancel.
In response to the response from Turco: You are correct, I did not engage you so all payments to the firm you subsumed in my name should have ended especially when my invoices were paid in full. They did not and money was taken from my account without a contract. Interestingly, I got a refund after posting this review so my advice stands. Make sure to put a payment on file you can dispute. Thank you.

I first reached out to Nicole in 2007 and have entrusted her with my legal needs since. Most recently, I recommended her to a friend that was in need of Will and other document preparation. Leslie LaFlamme responded to our request for this very quickly and shepherded the process with knowledge, understanding, and support prior to my friend's meeting with Nicole. Not only did we appreciate how expeditiously this was all handled, but we particularly appreciate the kindness and empathy displayed during a trying time.

I personally worked with Jefferson Boone. He was really kind and took so much care and effort to understand my needs. Every time I called him he knew exactly who I was and had the details to my case right away. He made it easy to talk to him and his prices are extremely reasonable. His years of expertise shows. We are really happy to have found him online and as much as I’m hoping I don’t need an attorney for anything else, I am glad I know who to call for future needs. I would definitely recommend Jefferson Boone to friends, family, or anyone else.

He is always available to you unlike some I have known in my experience. More importantly he was compassionate with the situation and folks involved. I applaud his professionalism and kindness. His manner in which he conducts business made a very difficult and stressful situation bearable. Thank you, David Rubin.

We had a complicated situation that had our existing attorney completely flummoxed, and potential replacement attorneys refusing to get involved.
Attorney Steve Allen leapt right in --- highly responsive, remarkably knowledgeable, creative, and ACTIVE. He was forcing the action right away. Comparing his approach to former representation is like comparing an ER Doctor to a lunch lady with a First Aid kit. We knew immediately that we were being protected and led in the right direction.
The problem is now solved, but in retrospect we almost feel lucky to have faced it: Had we not had that issue, we might never have identified the firm we'll be using from now on ---

I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney George MacKoul to anyone seeking a powerful, highly skilled attorney who will advocate tirelessly on their behalf.
Attorney MacKoul is a brilliant gentleman whose ethical standards of legal practice are truly commendable. He clearly has an in-depth understanding of the law and has a remarkable ability to navigate complex legal issues with precision and insight.
Throughout my case, Attorney MacKoul demonstrated an extraordinary ability to listen, understand, and provided thoughtful counsel. He made me feel safe on this sad and emotional rollercoaster that I had unexpectedly found myself on.
I am profoundly grateful for Attorney MacKoul's expertise and unwavering support. He not only achieved a favorable outcome for my case but did so in a manner that preserved my mother’s dignity and respected her last wishes.
George, thank you for your kindness and grace. You are a true beacon of ethical practice and integrity in the legal profession!

The best lawyer hands down! I was searching for a lawyer for 9 months plus, and I feel like first impression, as well as your gut feeling is a big deciding factor when choosing a partner to assist you when the time is needed, I've been working with George and his staff for over a year now, even though my case is a year or more and hopefully being done, I would not have wanted anybody else in my corner! George and his staff have become friends, allies as well as inspirational, win or lose I wouldn't want anybody else on this case! Do not think twice about George and his staff! I wish there was a way to give more than five stars!

Myself and my former roommates worked with Arthur in order to resolve a dispute with our former landlord. Arthur worked directly with us and was consistently attentive and professional throughout the process. He did an excellent job of explaining all applicable laws and procedures, thereby making the process far less stressful than we were expecting. Additionally, he helped us reach a highly favorable conclusion to the matter in a relatively short period of time and for very reasonable fees. I would highly recommend Arthur to anybody dealing with similar disputes and would not hesitate to hire him again in the future.

Attorney Paul Moraski is THE BEST criminal defense lawyer! When my son was falsely accused of a crime that he didnt commit and all the cards were stacked against him, we felt defeated. We called multiple lawyers and had multiple consultations and each lawyer agreed to take his case but they all wanted him to plead guilty. This would have meant my son pleading guilty for something he didn't do, having a permanent conviction record, possible jail time, license suspension, fines, and court fees. I understand that this was the fastest, easiest, and least costly way out but this would have had a huge negative effect on my sons life and his career. He would not being able to work in his profession and run his current business. He worked so hard to get where he is by going to college, his internships and now owning and running his own business. This entire ordeal was a devastating blow to my family and we were so blessed and grateful that we found Paul! ( He asked us to call him Paul during our first meeting) We knew from the first consultation that we needed to hire him! He was the first lawyer out of many that believed in my son and believed we had a strong case and didn't want him to just plead guilty. This entire thing was foreign territory for us. Paul was very knowledgeable through the entire process, he explained things to us in detail and kept my family in the loop the entire way during my sons case. We couldnt afford to retain a lawyer, but Paul worked with us on payment plans! Paul was very professional in and outside of court and is also a very sharp dresser! I would recommend Paul to anyone looking for a great defense lawyer!

I cannot recommend Attorney Darius Pakrooh enough for anyone seeking exceptional legal representation. My case was incredibly complex, involving numerous legal intricacies, but from the very first meeting, Attorney Pakrooh displayed an impressive depth of knowledge and an unwavering commitment to securing the best possible outcome.

Throughout the process, it was clear that Attorney Pakrooh was fully prepared, with every detail meticulously covered. His strategic approach, combined with his ability to explain even the most complicated aspects of the case in an understandable way, gave me immense confidence. I never once felt out of the loop or unsure about the next steps.
Thanks to Attorney Pakrooh's expertise and dedication, the result far exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a lawyer who is not only highly skilled, but also genuinely cares about their clients, I wholeheartedly recommend his services. You’ll be in excellent hands!

Through the entire process, I felt like I was in honest and trustworthy hands, and her significant experience in real estate transactions in MA was obvious. Every step was clearly explained and we received constant updates and support. Tracey was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is highly professional and pays exceptional attention to detail. She explains legal concepts clearly and was responsive to our questions. Tracey ensured all legal documents were properly executed during closing when we were unable to attend ourselves. I highly recommend her and the entire D|R Law team.

She works to make sure that the board has a shared understanding of our directives and the outcomes we have committed to.

Atty Matt Karr is excellent. He spent the time to understand our need for a credit bypass trust. He explained the process in clear declarative English rather than legalese. I feel that his fee was very reasonable. He supported his documents with a video explaining everything so that I could replay it if I had questions. We spoke to other lawyers that charged more and some that charged less. It is very hard to compare prices like buying a car. I recommend that you meet with Matt before selecting an attorney. BTW trusts are his specialty not just another work product.

We worked with Matthew Karr for Estate Planning purposes, specifically to update our existing Trusts, Wills, Healthcare Proxies, and Powers of Attorney that were prepared years ago by another law firm. Matthew excelled in asking thoughtful questions about our goals, carefully listened to our responses, and offered practical solutions to achieve them. Most importantly, he explained his reasoning and options in a way that was clear and easy to understand.
He provided a clear timeline for completion and quoted a flat fee that covered all the work. Both his turnaround time and fees were very reasonable. When it was time to sign the new documents, he patiently reviewed each one, addressed all of our questions, and ensured that we fully understood everything. His patience and thoroughness were greatly appreciated.
Matthew and his staff were professional, knowledgeable, and welcoming throughout the process. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone in need of Estate Planning expertise.

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.
