I had a wonderful experience with Chung and Press for the closing of my first house. They did both the title work and the closing. I was a little apprehensive going through the process without a realtor, but Joyce was available to chat and answer all of my questions. Their prices were extremely reasonable as well. I highly recommend Chung and Press and will definitely use them again if the need arises.

Breakout Capital hired Doug in May 2017 after he served as external counsel helping the company secure its first credit facility. Since that time, Doug has negotiated an extension of that facility plus two additional credit facilities, led the diligence and negotiations on prospective M&A transactions, and served as a key member of the executive team, where his duties extend well beyond just legal. In addition to being extremely thoughtful, diligent and hard working (consistently one of the last to leave the office), Doug is very pragmatic and able to isolate the key issues that are worth pursuing. He is also very adept at juggling multiple tasks simultaneously such that nothing falls through the cracks. One of the most admirable qualities about Doug is that he is very fair and even-handed. Though he consistently fights to get the best deal he can, he recognizes the need to be transparent and fair in any negotiation with counterparties.

Simply put, Doug is one of the top attorney's I have ever worked with. We initially hired Doug's firm to provide counsel and draft the documents on our first financing. Doug took the time to understand our business model so he could better communicate how certain clauses in the financing structure could positively/negatively impact our business. There are just not many attorneys at his level with his experience that get so "deep into the weeds" as he did. After completing the financing, our company hired Doug full time as we were so impressed by his work and we continue to be impressed with hard work and dedication. I can say for certain if Doug had not put in all of the countless hours that he has into our business, we would not be where we are today.

Doug has always exhibited unparalleled work ethic and firmly grounded personal ethics. You would be hard-pressed to find a better attorney or person.
I strongly endorse this lawyer. I have known Doug for close to 7 years. He is a lawyer of great integrity, dedication and intelligence. A valued and trusted adviser, he provides his views with clarity, directness and precision. He is a strong negotiator capable of employing both forceful argument and an open, friendly manner and ready humor in order to achieve the proper result for his clients.
I had the pleasure of being one of Doug’s clients from May 2010 through August of 2014 while he supported my business line on many large and heavily structured commodity transactions covering 15 states and 4 markets. Doug’s knowledge, experience and support are unmatched. His work ethic, thoroughness provided complete assurance to the commercial team, allowing the team to more closely focus on core commercial matters, rather than having to worry about risks and challenges in the legal space – Doug simply took that element of concern off the table for the commercial team. This was true on a spectrum of transactions and enabling agreements ranging from ISDA transactions to complex and highly structured transactions involving several different sources of cost and revenue. This bulletproof level of service was consistently delivered to the business line, even though Doug led a number of other quite disparate portfolios, showing the range of Doug’s combined depth and breadth of expertise in credit, construction, commercial and M&A transactions. I offer the highest recommendation of Doug’s work and find him to be an invaluable professional asset, and, most importantly, a pleasure to work with.

Phil and our family share the same last name, but we are not actually related. Phil has been our family attorney for over a decade now. We trust him and his legal advice indubitably. He has been our counsel through numerous commercial and real estate transactions. He consistently keeps us abreast of changing situations during the deals and always includes/explains to us, as the client, for all decision making. He is always available via email and telephone, most times with 1-day or less response time.
His advice errs on the side of cautious and protective of our interests, which is exactly what you want from an attorney. His entire team at his firm is knowledgeable and equally trustworthy.
Bonus, is that he can understand quite a bit of the Korean language verbally, and can even speak it a little. However his English is perfect and written communications are always clear and concise.

When I called Sage Trust Law with questions about the best way to transfer property in my trust, Dawn Dale spent a serious hunk of time asking questions, figuring out my particular circumstances, and explaining my options in understandable detail. Once we decided how to proceed, she began lining up the info needed for our appointment and discovered I had (accidentally) on my own completed the required steps. I was profoundly grateful to have my questions answered by a pro and my concern solved with such expert advice, and I was astounded when she did not charge me for the consultation. If that weren't enough, she spent additional time comforting me about my son's illness that she'd learned about during our fact-finding conversation. So, Dawn Dale is knowledgeable, super-competent, honest, beyond fair, AND compassionate. In today's world, that's pretty much of a miracle, and you absolutely can not do better than that.

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.
