I came to Catherine and her team after struggling with a very difficult marital situation for years. Their dedication, professionalism, and knowledge of family law helped me get the best possible result for myself and my daughter. Unfortunately, my former husband was not happy with this result (even though it was a mediated settlement) and has taken the path of filing endless motions to undo our agreement. All of which have been successfully defended by Catherine and her team. I am incredibly grateful for the day that she accepted me as a client, and for the way that her whole team has managed my case. The one-star review from Gonzalo Bouquet here is from my former husband. It in no way represents the excellent work that they do.

I am currently going through a divorce, with my soon to be ex.This has been one of the most difficult times in my life. Having Catherine represent me as my attorney and her team has made me feel confident to power through this strenuous time. She is unbeatable, honest, and an extremely meticulous family law attorney. Catherine, Brianna, Nicole, Alex, and their team have been there for me every step of the way.
They always answer every question, email, and any concerns I have. She is professional and does not take any nonsense from anyone.
She is so good at what she does, that my ex felt he had to get his employees and our neighbor to write fraudulent reviews. Unfortunately my ex has been making poor decisions, which included attempting at affecting my attorneys practice by writing deceptive reviews.
The names of the negative reviews that he fraudulently wrote from his employees/ neighbors phones are as follows:
Sarka Stastny: employee at his car dealership
Fabiano tennerelli: ex housekeeper
Nissim Veitzman: our next door tenant
Hassan Samra: employee at his car dealership
I’ve already reported these reviews as harassment.
Clearly, I am still going through this unfortunate divorce proceedings with my soon to be ex. Please disregard those negative reviews as I highly recommend filler Rodriguez family law practice!

I'm please to provide my recommendation Donald J. Kahn, Esq. of the firm of Green and Kahn P.L. I truly consider Mr. Kahn to be a great and experienced attorney. On each transaction that he has assisted me on over the course of many years, because he is very detail oriented. He has always gone the extra mile and explained every facet of the transaction in easily understood terms and guided me in the right direction. His demeanor is extremely friendly, accommodating and reassuring. I strongly believe that the immediate connection he makes with clients enables him to efficiently achieve fair and productive results. His personal commitment to his clients is extraordinary and there are simple no words to express my appreciation for the professional services that Mr. khan has rendered for me. I give him my highest endorsement as a trusted professional.

multitude of residential and commercial real estate transactions. I always take great
comfort in knowing that Mr. Kahn is on my team and in my corner providing the
best advices and directed guidance devoted to the given task at hand. Both his
comforting demeanor and vast experience has the effective result of simplifying
complex transactions in the interests of all concerned parties. It is my honor to give
this complete endorsement of Mr. Kahn for the public to rely upon should they
require the services of a trusted, legal professional.

We should have an option to give 0 stars!!! Don't waste your time and money with them!!! They are not professional, Steven Liberty, Esq. never contact me about my case.
They charge me $350 to send a letter to my old landlord, and that is all what happened.
Now of course he tried to offer me his services at $450 per hour to start a new law suit!
I hope you will read this review before choosing a lawyer and don't make the same mistake as me.

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.
