Ms Ashley from Attisha Law is a great attorney to work with. I’m a landlord and real estate agent in need of legal help very often and Ms Ashley has always helped and advised me. She is very prompt with answering my questions which I found to be a rare quality in attorneys. I am a return client and will continue using their services.

I had an excellent experience working with Ashlay ! She was professional, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to my case. From the very beginning, she took the time to explain everything clearly and kept me informed throughout the process. Their attention to detail and strategic approach gave me confidence, and the outcome exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Ashlay to anyone in need of legal assistance!

If I could give 10 stars I would. I am so grateful for Ashley. From the moment she picked up the phone I knew I made the right choice when dealing with some real estate issues. Ashley made me feel comfortable, she listened, and gave me ALL information I needed in a way I could understand it. She was so kind, helpful, and I don't think I would trust anyone else. 10/10 recommend Attisha Law.

I hired Jeff Franklin about 3 years ago. He has resolved custody, divorce, and a legal case for me. He is very knowledgeable. Very respectful and polite to both parties. Every circumstance is different but if your doing the right thing all the time then he will make sure you get what you rightfully deserve. I.E. I have full custody of my son, divorce was a breeze, and got out of a bind with the law almost as soon as I hired him(I had a different attorney at first and was in some trouble for a while til I hired Jeff). He does great work and fast for how slow the courts can be. If I ever needed a attorney again, I would hired him again. I highly recommend Jeff Franklin!

I would avoid this law office at all costs, unless you want to be taken advantage of and pay for nothing. We had a case involving 3 people, he took money from each and every one of them and then gave nothing in return. Upon consulting a different lawyer after the fact, i was told that there was so much more he could've done and it sounded like he was just lazy and wanted a quick easy pay day. On top of that, he was Terrible to get in contact with, and inconsistent with what he told us. He even straight up lied to our group when asked about penalties for certain violations. Overall worst lawyer i have ever seen, i don't recommend anyone go with him unless you want to lose in court and lose lots of money doing so.

I knocked on the door to get his name and ask he do not interfere any further in my walking my dog for the rest of time and the meek-mouse receptionist lied to me that she would see if he was there and proceeded to ignore me. She then answered the phone and she claimed they had a right to oversee the public property on their corner and that she would not giving me his name.

Attorney Lott-Tucker, was able to Set the expectations on what could be experienced during the process of not only filing for divorce, but what to expect at time of divorce. She was very patient and forthcoming with how to proceed and very communicative on how to prepare for my divorce hearing. If you are looking for someone who is willing to fight for you during a very tough and difficult time, I would strongly recommend attorney Kendell Lott-Tucker to represent you as she will put your interest in the forefront with representation of your interest.

Daniel Finley is not just any lawyer he is the best at what he does. I know many people read reviews and think it's just a random person writing a review who doesn't know what you are going through, but I do. Custody can be heartbreaking, and stressful and seems to be never-ending. When it involves your kids, it affects your whole heart and mind. I was scared of selecting a lawyer because in the past I didn't have a great one. From the first phone call, I knew Dan would fight for me; he was kind, smart, and encouraging. When I worried he was steadfast and strong and encouraged me to stay on the path. As a Mom, our kids are life and we just want the best for them. Dan understands this and will treat your case as his own. He treated my case as his own and we had an amazing outcome. As I type this review it could be 100 pages long, there are not enough words to show my appreciation for Dans hard work. If you need the best lawyer out there for your custody case I encourage you from one mom to another mom, he's the best.

Throughout my custody hearings, they provided exceptional guidance and support, ensuring that I had a clear understanding of the process and assisted me in filling out the necessary paperwork accurately and submitting it on time. One aspect that impressed me was their attentiveness to my needs and preferences. Despite their busy schedule, they always made sure to allocate time for my phone calls, which was included in the payment. I initially found the strict time window for calls a bit disconcerting, but Attorney Whitehead promptly addressed all my concerns and ensured that I received the necessary attention and guidance. What I appreciated most was the transparency in terms of payment. Whether it was a straight upfront payment or a payment plan, they provided a clear rate, ensuring that I knew what to expect. Despite opting for a payment plan, the level of service and dedication extended to me was no different from those who paid in full. Attorney Whitehead and his team were meticulous in their approach to my case, going above and beyond to set me up for success. They ensured that I understood my responsibilities and provided updates on the progress of the case, including reminders and calls the night before court hearings to ensure my preparedness. Although I never met Attorney Whitehead in person, our communication through Skype and phone calls made me feel like he was my personal attorney. The entire team at Access Legal Care works tirelessly, often working seven days a week, demonstrating their commitment to their clients. They genuinely care about achieving the best possible outcome, regardless of payment plan or payment in full. They never left me hanging and consistently provided assistance and support throughout the ups and downs of the case. Attorney Whitehead and his team are not only proficient in navigating the legal system but also in finding cost-saving alternatives to reach a favorable resolution. They understood the gravity of my case and approached it with efficiency, grace, and precision. I cannot express enough gratitude for the positive impact they had on my life. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I was able to achieve my desired outcome, although it did take some time and patience. I fully believe that no other lawyer could have done a better job, even if I had paid them in full. Access Legal Care, led by Attorney Bert Whitehead, is an outstanding law firm with a compassionate and skilled team. If you are in need of legal assistance, I strongly encourage you to reach out to them. I have personally tried various internet sites, consulted with different lawyers and experts, and Access Legal Care stands out as the best choice. They will make the seemingly impossible possible and restore your hope in a successful outcome. They certainly did that for me, and I will forever be grateful. Thank you once again to Burt Whitehead and the entire team. Stay blessed and stay great! Sincerely blaise

Bert was very knowledgeable and help me thru this and appreciate his professional service to me. I like the on the line system- modern technology is so amazing. I never had to drive to his office (like my ex-wife did- traveled 45 minutes each way to talk with her lawyer) to get access to him but did everything thru on line and telephone. Set up an appointment time slot on his schedule that he has available and then he calls you back at that time. Be organized and write down your content you want to cover as the time flies by quickly. He was 4 times cheaper than the first lawyer I had a consultation with to see if I was going to hired her her Thank you Bert. You are a great lawyer. I wouldn’t hesitate in using you again.

Frank was incredibly professional and thorough. I hired Frank to assist me in having the state of Michigan release a "hold" on my license. I made some mistakes as a young man, and 10 years down the road, I was living in a different state and ready to put my past behind me. Even with the hurdles posed by Covid, changes to the court system and the postal service, Frank was able to help me navigate the courts and successfully obtain my license. Frank spent a lot of time looking through my documents and ensuring everything was in order before submitting, and although it was a lot of work, it alleviated stress during the actual submission process. 10/10 highly recommend!

Mr. Ford made the entire process simple and as pain free as possible. From our first meeting to the end of my probation, he was by my side constantly, answered any/all questions I had, and made sure I understood the position I was in. IF I ever run into the law again, or any of my friends/acquaintances, my first and only recommendation will be to call Frank B. Ford. I actually had two cases brought against me, 3 months apart, both referencing the same incident. Mr. Ford was my attorney for each case. He was early to all phone/face to face meetings and was always well prepared. I had complete confidence while I sat and let Frank talk on my behalf to the court/judge. Mr. Ford has an extensive knowledge of his field and I am EXTREMELY thankful that I acquired him as my attorney.

Most importantly, he puts my interest at heart and helped me make the best decision every step of the way. I have come to know and dealt with many attorneys in my life.

I've been an expert witness for 14 years. I recently sat through an entire trial with Scott. I've seen more attorneys than the average person (dozens) arguing cases. He won hands down getting a substantial judgement in favor of his client going the extra mile every step of the way. I'm getting nothing for this review and now live in another state so I am not looking forward to future business from Scott, rather I'm being totally sincere and disinterested. He's truly a gifted litigator and comes across to the jury in a way I've never seen before. He didn't even refer me on this case rather I was already an acquaintance of his client who hired me directly herself. Scott is truly brilliant and a man of honor and good character. Hire him!

I am a very skeptical person who has a difficult time placing trust in the hands of another, especially when the consequences of it is tied to a result in which I may have no control. My main goal in seeking the right attorney was to find one whose outlook demonstrated a strong moral and ethical compass, and was passionate in their career choice to both uphold and defend the law. I had interviewed several attorneys, who in my opinion, provided nothing more than typical sales pitches, and I became deeply discouraged. That all changed when I came across Andrew Mayoras's bio, and then reached out to him. What I found in Andy was an attorney who honestly cared about his clients, who was determined to seek the truths, was not intimidated to challenge opposing counsel, weeded through the garbage of opposing counsels arguments, and applied the law appropriately and in accordance to my particular case. What I learned, is no matter what court situation you may find yourself involved in, it is never a pleasant experience. However, when you have confidence in your lawyer, such as I found with Andy Mayoras and other members within his law firm, I fully trusted that my position was going to be zealously represented in an upstanding and professional way. Andy did NOT disappoint!! I have nothing but deep respect and gratitude for Andy Mayoras and his associates. Thank you a thousand times over!!!

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
