I am a Family Medicine Physician and have asked for Mr. Gurwitz's help a couple of times in the past. One was in response to a complaint by a patient to the Texas Medical Board, in which Mr Gurwitz wrote a response to the complaint to the Board. Due to him summarizing the facts in a concise manner, the Texas Medical Board dismissed the complaint without any further inquiry needed.

He communicated with both my husband and I every day he received communication regarding our case, and would give us a weekly call to update us on the progress of our resolution. Very attentive and thorough in his work, would highly recommend working with attorney Jared Clark.

Mr Biel was a wealth of information! I never realized the difference between the laws governing a home (homestead) and a rental property. Wow, a landlord has no rights when dealing with an unsatisfactory contractor. His suggestion for how to settle was extremely helpful. I wish I had hired him when my previous contractor scammed me.

Attorney Jorge Salinas really knows his stuff. After a big storm that caused considerable damage to one of my properties, I quickly contacted my insurance company to start the claim process only to be disappointed by how they underestimated the damages. I contacted Mr. Salinas law office and its services exceeded my expectations. He was able to get me a much better and accurate settlement from the insurance company than what they first offered, and I was able to repair my home completely.

I am very grateful for the help and guidance that I received from attorney Jorge Salinas. I work in the health profession and I needed to start a PLLC fast so I could start working as a contractor. In a matter of days, I had all my documents ready, all my questions answered and the attorney even reviewed my work contract at no extra cost. Because of his help, I felt confident that I was starting my new employment the right way. I recommend his law office to all my coworkers.

I strongly do not recommend... I was involved in a hit and run accident and they
won't take my case. I have all the information the
could possibly need to win and they said no. Only
reason is probably because it's not against a
company and they cannot not win big money.
Waste of time. They are not here to help anyone
but themselves...Do not waste you're time on
them or any of these so called "big lawyers" they
do not care about anyone but themselves.

Della was very friendly and honest in her dealing with me. I felt very comfortable discussing my case with her. I was deathly afraid of my husband and she made me feel safe when we went to court. She didn't leave my side and was not afraid of him. I was impressed with her command of the law and the situation.

I was a victim of domestic violence. Della helped me to file charges against my husband with the local police department. I had tried many times to file charges with the McAllen Police Department. They never listened to me until Della came to speak to them on my behalf. She educated me as to what my rights were and as to what I needed to do to get a protective order and go through with the criminal charges against my husband. She got a protective order for me and went with me to all of the criminal court hearings for the case against my husband. She also helped me divorce my abuser and find a job.

Very pleased with service. I contacted multiple law firms before choosing Attorney Tinoco. My appointment with his firm was setup within a few days. The staff response to phone calls and emails rapidly. You are sent text messages to remind you of your appointments and attorney Tinoco will make sure you are ready for your Naturalization interview before the date. I highly recommend working with them.

I had a chance to talk to Francisco Tinoco himself. He Guaranteed my DACA case would be accepted knowing the program had already been shut down. When I asked about filing a petition through marriage he seemed bothered and uninterested. He even said "Its going to be a lot of time and money"
VERY unprofessional.
I suggest going with Villalobos Law firm.

Please if you have a custody case DO NOT use this lawyer. The office staff is who you talk to, you don't meet the lawyer until the day of court, he shows up UNPREPARED not really having a clue of what's happening. Does not speak up to the judge just nods and agrees! We were promised we are the best of the best which is so very untrue. Run VERY FAR away from this attorney and his office. They are a bad joke at best. I paid for this lawyer for my child to help with her custody case, what a waste of $3000. Professional scam artists!!

Chris Sully was my court appointed attorney and it was always hard to get ahold of him or get any info on my case... he was saying i was going to have to do a few years in jail. I hired another lawyer, Dora Garza, and she was amazing! I only had to do 6 months probation and report by mail. Whatever you do, do not get Chris Sully as your attorney because he will not try to help you.

I am a new business owner and needed an attorney to review my first commercial lease. I felt a little intimidated by the whole process, and didn't really even know the first questions to ask. Chris took the time to call me personally, right away, and answered all of my questions. He then followed up with an email. He didn't bill me for phone time, like other lawyers have in the past. From start to finish he made the process clear and concise. He worked quickly, stayed in budget and drafted a lease that was much more in my favor, that the landlord signed today. I feel confident to not only recommend him to others, but also use him again, without hesitation. Thank you Chris!

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.
