I recently hired Matt Karr and his team to assist me with getting Mass Health for my brother. I did my due diligence in researching many firms that just specializes in this area, and made my decision to go with Heritage and am so glad I did! It can be a very daunting and overwhelming process to say the very least and could have never done on my own. They are extremely knowledgeable of all the nuances and intricacies involved in the ever changing process of these laws! The ParaLegal Kelly is amazing and knows everything there is to know about Mass Health and the application process. She is very thorough as well as patient in answering any questions I had and I had ALOT! Whenever I was stressed she would put me at ease in explaining the process in a way I would understand. I would highly recommend them to anyone and look forward to working with them in the future!

Excellent Lawyer: Highly Recommend for Criminal Defense
I am extremely grateful for Paul Moraski’s support and expertise in resolving a complex legal issue I was facing. From the start, he was thorough, professional, and dedicated to achieving the best outcome. I was in a challenging situation that could have had serious implications for my career, but Paul handled it with skill and confidence. He successfully negotiated a dismissal with a year-long contingency, which allowed me to move forward with my life. I can’t thank him enough for his diligence and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a strong defense attorney.
Lastly, he was super easy to call or text at any hour to relieve me if I had any questions about anything, no redirection to his Office or an assistant. I found that to be invaluable, and I was surprised at the accessibility. He really goes above and beyond for his clients. I definitely understand why he’s a top attorney in Boston.

While on vacation in Boston, I was falsely accused of a serious crime, arrested, and faced with felony charges.
After spending the night in jail, I was assigned a public defender who was entirely unfamiliar with my case. Unfortunately, not only was this public defender incompetent, but he also lacked the appropriate credentials to handle a case of such seriousness.
I was facing a minimum of five years in prison, and my bail was set at $60,000. The public defender made no effort to fight for me. He didn't attempt to have my bail reduced or identify any weaknesses in the case against me. Instead, he simply agreed with the prosecutor and judge, and I was sent back to jail.
After three nights in jail, my family informed me that they had hired a criminal defense attorney named Paul Moraski, who would be visiting me in a couple of days.
True to their word, Paul arrived at the jail two days later. I was escorted by a correctional officer to meet him. From the moment we met, I knew Paul was the right lawyer for me. He had an incredible personality, was highly educated and knowledgeable, and held himself to a very high standard. For the first time, I felt hopeful again.
The first thing Paul said to me was, "We’re going to beat this case." He then assured me, "I am going to get your bail reduced from $60,000 to $30,000 so you can go home." Paul not only understood my case thoroughly but also knew the courtroom inside and out, thanks to his 14+ years of experience.
Two days later, I had another court appearance, and Paul was outstanding. He successfully persuaded the judge to lower my bail from $60,000 to $30,000, allowing my family to secure my release.
The night I was bailed out, Paul immediately called to congratulate me on going home. He reassured me once again, saying, "There are numerous holes in your case, and you have nothing to worry about."
Despite Paul's reassurances, I remained anxious about my case after returning home and would call him weekly. Each time, Paul answered the phone, and if he was in court, he would return my call immediately afterward.
Paul is an exceptional attorney, though not inexpensive. However, he provided me with a very reasonable rate given the severity of my case. He also offered me a monthly payment plan, which greatly eased the financial burden.
When it comes to fighting for your freedom, no price is too high. Paul Moraski was worth every dollar.
Six months later, just as Paul had predicted from the start, my case was completely dismissed.
If you find yourself facing legal issues in the Boston area, I highly recommend contacting and hiring Paul Moraski. He is not only an outstanding defense attorney but also a remarkable person. I feel like I not only hired a lawyer but also gained a friend.
Thank you for everything, Paul.

Ryan Cunningham became my Real Estate attorney for the sale of my house only four months ago. My son introduced me to Ryan as a friend who could give me advice. As a recent widow, I made the decision to sell the house my husband and I built together 30 years ago. Selling my house was a daunting process for me alone. Ryan helped me with his outstanding knowledge and expertise. Because Ryan provided such prompt feedback, without hesitation, I asked him to represent me in the sale of my house. I, also asked Ryan to represent me in the purchase of a condominium where I could move upon the sale of my house. The entire selling and buying processes were confusing. Ryan was always available to explain documents that needed to be signed. Ryan communicated with me via text, phone, and email on a frequent basis for my house sale and my condominium purchase. Even when my questions were repetitive, Ryan readily gave me clear explanations. I highly recommend Ryan Cunningham for any Real Estate transactions.

As first time homebuyers, my husband and I cannot say enough good things about Ryan.

He was very helpful and a great resource for us whenever we had questions. We would definitely work with him again and highly recommend him!

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.

Anyone who has ever bought or sold a home knows how tedious the process can be. You can imagine the anxiety that my wife and I had at the thought of trying to do both at the same time.
After completing the process, and reviewing lessons learned, the one thing my wife and I know we will definitely do again is hire Steve Allen. Steve's professionalism and guidance, answering all of our questions and explaining things in terms that were easy to understand, through the entire process made things that much easier for my wife and I, and we look forward to using Steve's services for out future needs.

Anton Reinert represented me in a long divorce process. He invariably responded to me in a timely manner with exactly the amount of information I needed to feel less worried and clear-minded. This ability to trust him and his guidance improved my quality of life during a difficult time. I appreciated his integrity in guiding me toward a solution that best matched my means and my interests. He is not a lawyer who wants to keep things going to make more money. I interviewed a number of attorneys before hiring him and believe he has a refreshing, efficient, approach in an aggressive arena. Anton has an air-tight understanding of the law and ethics that go along with the law. He also offers availability for communication at any inquiry and has a kind manner that isn't required, but that helps; especially at a difficult point in anyone's life. Working with Anton is easy. Anton's approach makes you want to rise to meet the situation, handle it well, and come out as a better person.

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!

We recently worked with Brandt Hollander on a complex issue involving our small family business, and I can't say enough good things about the experience. From the start, Brandt was incredibly organized and well-prepared, which immediately put us at ease. He took the time to explore every possible angle, ensuring we fully understood our options and felt confident in our decisions.
What stood out the most was his genuine dedication to our case. He wasn’t just looking for a quick solution; he really took the time to understand the nuances of our situation and provided thoughtful, practical advice. It was clear he had our best interests at heart.
I also appreciated how accessible and approachable he was throughout the entire process. We never felt like just another client—Brandt made us feel like our concerns were his priority. Knowing we have someone as reliable and knowledgeable as Brandt in our corner for any future needs gives us great peace of mind.
If you're looking for a real estate attorney who’s not only skilled but also truly cares about his clients, I highly recommend Brandt Hollander.

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.

Over the course of one weekend, I suddenly found both of my elderly parents in the hospital. One of them would need to move into a nursing home almost immediately as the other recovered. Only, I had no clue how to even begin this process. An event like this is emotionally draining, and now, needing to quickly find a nursing home on top of this, was overwhelming. The nursing homes are ready to take patients, eager for them. Bring them on, private pay! Only going to cost you thousands of dollars a month. Easy.
When I called Spencer Ghazey-Bates, this is where I was, completely lost and overwhelmed, prepared for my parents to lose a lifetime of gathered assets within the year. After getting off the phone, this all changed.
I had a plan of action. I had reassurances from an expert that has done this time and time again for other families. An overall plan was made, steps were given, one at a time, so as not to be overwhelming. I finally could feel like I knew what to do and could start sorting our lives out again while the paperwork was being taken care of by professionals.
The nursing home's billing departments are experts at working for themselves. Without professional legal representation, I felt defenseless from their statements and bills. With Spencer, you have an export that works FOR YOU.
Over the months of this process, we gracefully landed with my parent in a good nursing home and my parent’s assets intact. Every call, email, and text to Spencer and his team was answered quickly and professionally, and at times, I almost could forget about the furious amounts of paperwork going back and forth in the background. I was able to focus instead on my family.
I cannot more highly recommend Spencer-Ghazey-Bates and his team for any elder planning you could need than I already have. If your family is having a crisis, or even just planning for a crisis, this is the team you want in your corner.

I highly recommend Peter Winters if you find yourself in need of a lawyer. He has a wealth of experience and a no nonsense, practical approach to resolving court issues. I immediately knew I was in good hands when I hired Peter. Every step of the way I felt incredible relief after talking to Peter. He took on my case in Superior Court and closed it out within a year when it could easily have dragged on for over three years. While all court issues have a heavy financial toll, Peter's expertise saved me a great deal in total costs, and his fees are so much more reasonable (half the cost) than any other lawyers that I contacted. I could not have been in better hands.

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.
