Shawn is a phenomenal attorney. When nobody else could help us, we hired Shawn. He conducted his own investigation and upturned the findings of the health department. He proved that my company was innocent of causing a foodborne illness outbreak. He is a class act, honest, friendly and smart as a whip. He understands the food industry better than anyone I have ever met. Even the paralegal he worked with was smarter and more well informed than most of the other attorneys we have hired. I would recommend these guys to anyone. Instead of having to pay millions, which was a foregone conclusion before we brought Shawn on board, we ended up settling for less than $5k. We were innocent and they saved my company.

Attorney Hackbarth helped me to recover money I invested in a fraudulent investment scheme. He took the time to explain all of my options and explained legal ideas to me in plain English that I could understand. He also returned all of my phone calls and always made time for me even though I am sure I was one of his smaller clients. He was always very courteous and despite being a lawyer, had a good sense of humor. I highly recommend him.

I am very pleased that I was referred to Atty. Sinitz when I sold my investment property. Atty. Sinitz made sure that I understood every step of the deal, from listing the property through the final closing. He provided input with regard to the language on the listing contract and multiple counter offers; he was sure to explain all of the closing documents so I knew what I was signing. He never made me feel rushed or like he had more important clients.

An honest, professional, and transparent law firm you can trust. I came here after another firm delivered some very questionable estate planning documents to me, among poor treatment and customer service. This firm had corrected every mistake and closed every hole the other firm left behind. Stafford really saved my butt here. Truly thankful. Such a kind team as well.

I cannot recommend Adam Tutaj highly enough. He is, hands-down, an excellent attorney. From the moment I started working with Adam, it was apparent he had a genuine interest in the well-being of my business. Adam provided much-needed reassurance as a new business owner facing a messy legal landscape, and his plan and suggestions quickly put me at ease. Beyond his empathetic nature, Adam is highly knowledgeable and skilled in business and healthcare law. The thorough advice and guidance he provided every step of the way is immeasurable. Adam anticipated potential issues and provided effective solutions that protected my business interests. He was responsive and communicative, keeping me informed of the status of my legal matters and answering any questions I had along the way. Thank you, Adam, for all that you do!

It’s pretty messed up to openly advertise that you offer, landlord tenant law options, but that you are always for the landlord and never the tenant. There’s a reason there’s a word called slumlord… We didn’t just pull it out of thin air. Imagine how many more customers you’ve lost for those stupid comments

Exceeded all my expectations in handling my traffic ticket. Mike was able to get a 15 mph speeding reduced to a no points equipment violation. All the other attorneys I spoke to about this said this prosecutor would never cut that deal, but Bayer Law got it done! Completely professional throughout. Mike was patient in answering all my questions and explaining the process. Just pay a simple flat fee and he takes care of everything else for you. I hope to never need a Wisconsin attorney again, but if I do, Mike will be the only one I call. Well done -- thank you so much for your valuable service!

Our foster child was hit by a vehicle while riding his bike. The incident happened a couple years before he came into our lives. His family at the time of the accident hired Noah Domnitz. Lawsuits and negotiating settlements with insurance companies are not something I had experience with. Noah and Corinne kept us appraised throughout the journey and made sure we understood everything. A portion of this settlement dragged on for a while but Noah was determined and dogged in pursuing a palatable outcome. At the start, he gave us a number he thought this would land on and he nailed it! Thanks to Domnitz & Domnitz, a child who experienced quite a bit of hardship and trauma now has the chance to get his feet on the ground. I highly recommend this attorney and will use him myself if I ever need him.

I would 110% go to them again, and will definitely recommend them to everyone I know.

Upfront, honest, hard working down to earth are words that come to mind. I worked specifically with Keith after a pretty rough car accident and he was extremely kind and understanding from the beginning. Lanette supported everything and was a great communicator with detailed notes. Jeff was the mediation negotiation who took the stress out of everything and even made it fun. They never promised me anything and walked me through every step of the case. I would recommend to anyone in a similar situation.

I was recommended to Murphy & Prachthauser by a family friend after a personal injury occurred in an automobile accident. Having little understanding of 'what comes next' Thadd and Kate Llaurado were kind, informative, re-assuring and committed.
During the process I was extremely impressed with their preparation, guidance and empathy. Thadd and Kate surpassed my expectations (which were already very high) and were successful in this case. I am grateful of not only the result but also the guidance they offered in other aspects of life.
They are great lawyers but even better people.
If I could give 10 stars to Thadd, Kate and their entire team I would not hesitate to do so.

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.
