Do not hire this lawyer group if you are in Mojave Valley AZ. They are not familiar with the laws and rules of this County. I was told one thing then another happened many times. Very inconsistent and a waste of my $8000. Alex was a nice guy, but as far as a Lawyer for Mojave Valley AZ I would not recommend him. Maybe he is good in Mesa Az but not for Mojave county Arizona.

Joseph Udell is a very thorough attorney. Joe helped us revise our living trust. We’ve done this three or four times over our lifetime. I thought I had a pretty good understanding of How trusts work but this time, my wife and myself and Joseph looked at every page of everything the will the trust the power of attorney’s and explained it to us and I didn’t know half as much as I thought, so we were really appreciative of this. It took a little while, but we never felt hurried or stressed because every question I had was able to be answered clearly. This is such an important part of making sure all your wishes going to be followed precisely. his support staff is also excellent Roxie spent a lot of time with me calling and getting information so that this trust could be done properly. Really nice environment highly recommend.

Working with Hannah K. Durrett has been incredible. It’s my first real relationship with a good lawyer and it’s been a great experience. Hannah provided me with guidance on the law and helped me make informed decisions on how to move forward. She knows what she is doing and isn’t afraid to research past cases and fight to help me get the best result possible. Excited to keep working together for many years to come. I would happily recommend Hannah K. Durrett or her firm to others.

My husband and I worked with Samuel Dampt for a little over a year and a half on a lawsuit involving a home builder. We can't say enough about Samuel, Priscilla, and Lindsey who helped work on this case. They did an outstanding job! Their level of professionalism, expertise, and honesty are a cut above. They worked together as a team and had good communication skills. We were highly impressed at the competence, responsiveness, and capability of all the people involved, from the front desk receptionist to the legal personnel involved. We always felt like Samuel and Priscilla had our best interest at heart. We appreciated the fact that Samuel provided his honest opinion along the way, even when it may be what we didn't want to hear. He explained all the different avenues this case could take, gave us food for thought and left the final decisions up to us. His calm demeanor and factual approach helped us through a nerve-racking deposition and mediation process. He was a great listener at times when we just needed to voice our frustrations with the other party involved. His guidance during the process was exceptional. Samuel is a very knowledgeable lawyer that proceeds in an ethical, honest, and professional manner. After dealing with the opposing lawyer who worked in an intimidating and unethical manner, it was refreshing to work with Samuel who displays good character, integrity, and ethical means to get the job done. I would highly recommend Samuel and the law firm of Denton, Peterson, and Dunn if you need representation for a legal matter.

I am immensely grateful for the outstanding job Eric W. Kessler did in advocating for me throughout every step of my divorce. As a stay-at-home mother, I was deeply concerned about my financial future and uncertain about the next steps in this challenging process. From our first meeting, Eric’s extensive knowledge and expertise in family law, built over his impressive 40 years of experience, were evident and provided me with much-needed reassurance.
Eric’s approach to my case was nothing short of exceptional. He demonstrated a perfect balance of empathy and assertiveness, understanding my concerns while being aggressive when necessary to protect my interests. His strategic insights and meticulous attention to detail ensured that every aspect of my situation was thoroughly addressed. Eric’s ability to anticipate potential issues and proactively navigate through them was remarkable, ultimately securing a favorable outcome for me and my children.
What truly sets Eric apart is his unwavering dedication and commitment to his clients. He was always available to answer my questions, no matter how trivial they seemed, and his guidance was both clear and compassionate. Eric’s professionalism and tenacity in the courtroom were impressive and instilled confidence in me throughout the proceedings.
I cannot thank Eric W. Kessler enough for his exceptional service and steadfast support during this pivotal time in my life. His expertise and experience in family law made all the difference, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a highly skilled and dedicated attorney. Eric is not just a lawyer; he is a true advocate who genuinely cares about his clients and their futures.

I’m so glad I found Eric Kessler and highly recommend him. I recently moved to Arizona from another state and needed an attorney to do a restatement of my current trust to conform to Arizona law. I wanted a professional who: is very knowledgeable about trusts, who would be responsive and communicate timely with me, who would allow me to review the draft before expecting me to sign off on the finished product (apparently this is not a common practice here, which surprised me), and who was willing to answer all my questions. Eric provided all these and more. He really listened, provided lots of good ideas, explained everything so well, and the final documents are well written and understandable. His process, as well as the other attorneys and staff in his firm, was efficient, professional and respectful of my time as well as his. It’s no wonder he is rated so highly by his clients as well as attorney rating sites.
I highly recommend him to my peers who may be seeking guidance in estate planning. Thank you, Eric, I am so grateful for your superior work!

I got transferred to this attorney after my car accident, and well frankly. He is the worst lawyer ever. He will ignore your calls, drag his feet every single step of the way, and never call you back when you leave messages. I will never use this lawyer again and I hope nobody else has to deal with the pain of this man.

Mr. Decker represented me in a landlord/tenant case. The case was arbitrated and Mr. Decker was present yet ill prepared and ineffective in his cross examination. Prior to a judgement in my favor, I attempted to discuss my concerns with Mr. Decker and he failed to respond. He was unable to even defend himself. Over a year later he offered a reduced settlement of his fees.

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.
