Mr. Mancebo represented me on a situation where I was a party to a guarantee that ended up being wrongfully obtained. Prior to Mr. Mancebo's involvement, I was represented by another attorney who missed the key issues of my case. When Mr. Mancebo became involved, he honed in on the crux of the issues and was able to resolve the case favorably for me in short order and economically. Throughout the process, Mr. Mancebo kept me informed and was resolute in my defense. I would highly recommend Mr. Mancebo and his firm, Mancebo Law, P.A.

Mr. Mancebo provided concise and tailored methods to help facilitate a quick and efficient resolution to my issue. From inception, he focused in on the crux of the issue and created a plan of attack to deal with the main issue in order to allow the smaller and less important issues to resolve themselves, while all the time being very considerate for my bottom line. Notwithstanding the fact that he worked within my budget, he never faltered on his representation of me nor did I feel that I received less because of what I was able to pay. I would highly recommend Mr. Mancebo and his staff at Mancebo Law.

Granda and Assoc are nothing short of exceptional. Being in a custody case for over 13 years, I could not find an attorney who took the time and commitment to actually "learn" my case and understand what my children and I had been going through for so long. Those other attorneys did not take 5 minutes to remember my daughters names even after years with them. I hired 2 attorneys at different times throughout the years hoping one would understand how detrimental my ex was to our lives, health and peaceful living. They did not.
I then hired Granda and Assoc. Stephanie is a gem. Caring, understanding, but also extremely firm, hardcore and relentless in pursuit to our safety.
The entire Granda team was a pleasure through years of working on my case. 4 years on my case and after our final hearing my children and I are safe, I was awarded full custody and parental responsibility.
I would absolutely recommend this firm to each and every person going through a difficult time (especially with their attorney).

I had three different events in which I needed legal representation in the last three years. I have met a lot of attorneys these past few years and the only one I would recommend is Octavio. Octavio has saved my life. I thank him and I'm in debt because in the times I did not know where to turn he was honest, he was fully committed to helping me overcome the problems I encountered, and he gave me the best service. You don't have to chase after him. He always does what he promises. He is easily accessible by phone and email. I feel that he is worth much more than the fees I paid. My first name is Juan. He knows who I am. I give permission to have my cases discussed with anyone that seeks his advice. My cases were very complex and difficult. You will be shocked to know that Octavio overcame all obstacles, he put the time into my cases, and won in court for me several times. Not only did he win, he made the other attorney look like a rookie. I felt embarrassed for the other attorney. He fights hard. He doesn't give you a sales pitch like most attorneys out there before they get your money and then treat your case like he is doing you a favor. He is a good person and a great lawyer and you can tell right away after meeting him.
Bottom line: I will recommend Octavio to any family member or friend and I will always seek his legal advice if I ever need it.
He did absolutely everything right. He was supportive and he truly cared about the consequences of my situation. Never late. Perfect experience.
He has helped me with a divorce case, 2 domestic violence cases, and a real state case. Absolutely satisfied every time.

Mr. Cuenant is by far the best attorney I have ever dealt with in my life. When I filed for bankruptcy earlier in the year I was very afraid of the entire process. Mr. Cuenant took the time to make sure that I was as comfortable with the process as possible. He was always there to take my calls and if not, he returned them very promptly. He genuinely seemed to care about me and that was very comforting. I would recommend his services to anyone.

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.
