I can’t say enough about Jeff and his staff. They were amazing to work with throughout the entire process.
Jeff was incredibly gracious with his personal time.He answered my calls on holidays and weekends when I had questions on my mind.
I would highly recommend Jeff and his staff to anyone involved in an accident and aren’t sure what steps they should take next.
I am extremely happy with the outcome of our case and how it was handled.
Jeff, I personally wanted to thank you for lending me your ear when I was going through a challenging time of my life of my life.
Sincerely,
John Beard

The attorneys at Sieben Carey are caring, informative, and supportive. They investigated, challenged the insurance companies and obtained a fair settlement. I felt included, genuinely cared about as they kept me informed with useful information to the case each step of the way. I recommend this organization in the highest possible way sould one have legal considerations after an accident.

Lawyers do many things, different kinds of law and expertise, different types of specialties even within those different arenas. Prosecution to defense I think many imagine themselves to be "champions of the people". Then there are those like Emma Denny and her team of lawyers and paralegals that truly embody the people's champion ethos.
Employment lawyers do not get paid unless the case is settled outside of court or won at trial. Thus, when an employment lawyer signs onto your case they have just as much skin in the game as us. More even. All the upfront costs of time spent writing and filing briefs with the court, any experts needed to provide expert opinions or arbitration for settlements and every hour of their time, all on their dime. Meaning when an employment attorney takes your case, they not only have to have confidence in their ability to win or settle it they also are putting their confidence, belief and faith in YOU. It's a team.
After I was wrongfully terminated, I called nearly 15 employment attorneys. I was contacted by 8 paralegals for an interview about the circumstances of my case. I was then contacted by only 3 attorneys interested in my case. My case had a wild card element to it in that it had to do with new substance legalization laws interacting with employment law that did not have a lot of precedent. Considering how many I contacted and how many showed interest this told me my case was not a slam dunk and thus was seen as a risk for many of the attorneys I contacted. 2 of them told me I should contact the state, or another lawyer with different skills and that the grey associated with the new laws was a dealbreaker for them.
Then Emma Denny called. The biggest difference in the first 10 mins of speaking with her was her preparedness and absolute confidence. She had the legal stances, strategies and statutes already laid out without ever talking to me. Despite differing social opinions on newly legalized substances judgment never came into our conversation or into her demeanor and treatment of me and my case. She was fiercely professional, her legal writing was incredible, her research and her paralegal were peerless and her lawyer associates beyond reproach.
I was never in the dark about the process. Never once. One of the first documents I received from Emma was an outline of expectations including the potential timeline, the steps that ultimately lead to a settlement or a trial and a pledge to each other that within a day of contacting each other for any reason we would return that communication within 48hrs. Lastly, what could have taken a year or two was wrapped up nicely in 7 months!
I could go on, but I'll sum it up like this. In all my life no one has advocated for me so thoroughly and with so much professionalism and tenacity. As I stated there is no guarantee of compensation or reward, but I NEVER felt like that was a factor. She won for me and without her truly knowing she saved me from a setback that could have negatively impacted my life for years to come. She took a risk on me and was confident in her ability and mine that we could win and in a way that lawyers do she cared for me. She'll never know how much that confidence in me was part of what helped me get through that time in my life. That IS what makes Emma Denny and her team true and genuine Champions of the People. I hope you will find the same. Good luck!

Being is a situation of being wrongfully terminated out of the blue by DHS was devastating and there was a number of us all in the same situation together. We talked with several lawyers and none of them were willing to step up and take the case for us until we met with Media Law. Ashwin got his team started right away and was ready to take on the state. Now lets talk about Tara Jensen. The amount of time and effort this amazing woman put into our case was astronomical! She had 10's of thousands pages of documents thrown at her and painstakingly went through each document to find every line to help our case. She was direct and to the point during depositions and never wavered when opposing council was taking bulling to the next level, yet remaining kind, personable and reassuring to me the entire time. This was a 5 year process and we could not have asked for a better team of people to get us through it and did not even imagine a more favorable outcome against a powerful employer. If you ever find yourself in a situation like this please stop your search for an attorney here and call Media Law immediately. You will never find a better team of lawyers to fight for you and always make you feel like you and your case matter.

I am thankful to have been represented by Madia Law throughout a long battle against a large, powerful public entity. Myself and 3 co-plaintiffs had a complex employment case with multiple claims including wrongful termination, sexual harassment, and a whistleblower claim. My interactions with all Madia Law team members were phenomenal. Tara worked tirelessly through thousands of pieces of evidence to help build a strong case. Tara and Ashwin were always available to answer questions, provide reassurance and give honest, realistic advice - always with the best interests of myself and fellow co-plaintiffs in mind. Tara & Ashwin were personable, yet fierce fighters, advocates and negotiators. In the end, we were able to gain a large settlement without needing a jury trial, but the team was well prepared to dominate in court if needed. I highly recommend the Madia Law team. Thank you Tara, Ashwin, and team! You are stand-up people & should be proud of your efforts to fight for what is right.

Amundson took advantage of father signing papers when incapacitated. Kept the 2nd part of inheritance but gave brothers there's. I never signed papers for this to occur! Said dad was entitled to my share. No, he wasn't dad had his own shares. Where's the money go? In his pocket or to brother, in charge of dad's finances. In cohoots with the brothers lawyers. I want my money plus interest.

An absolute great initial experience with this law firm. From the receptionist to the "Intake Coordinator", Darwin, to our consultation with attorney J. Noble Simpson, we were treated with first-class attention. The process of spending 30 minutes with Darwin and answering many insightful questions about our case was refreshing. It made for an extremely productive 1.5 hr consultation with Mr. Simpson. We were apprehensive about spending $500 to talk with Mr. Simpson, but his preparation made that $500 some of the best money we have spent. Prior to our consultation, we sent multiple audio recordings and documents pertaining to our case. Mr. Simpson digested all that information and was thoroughly prepared to discuss it in detail at our consultation. Additionally, his professionalism and knowledge of his craft is impressive. If you are considering a Trust/Will/Estate litigator, you MUST give Mr. Simpson an opportunity to represent you during this difficult time. Quay and Dawn Richerson

I hired Drewes Law for a family to family, as-is real estate transaction so therefore a much more expensive realtor was not needed. I hired them based on the other great Google reviews and it was a great decision!
They explained the process in detail and answered all of my questions up front, then got going on the process while always keeping me in the loop. We were working through a family member who was Attorney-in-fact/Power of Attorney for my grandmother, which slightly complicated things in my opinion but it was never an issue for the Drewes team.
Toward the end there was an issue with the county rejecting some filings, to which Drewes Law reached out to me immediately to let me know, but also let me know they re-reviewed everything and told me they were confident there was no reason for the rejection. They called my county the next business day to which the county recognized the mistake and that it indeed should not have been rejected (mistake due to being down workers/having new workers due to Covid). The County immediately approved and I was sent the Deed a few days later. Excellent work and thoroughness by the Drewes Law Team!
David, Annie and Jonathan were fantastic to work with and I would recommend them to anyone needing Real Estate law representation.
Thanks Drewes Law team for helping us purchase this little piece of paradise that my family and I will continue to enjoy for years to come!

Jeff is a winner!
He is different from the rest he always takes time to discuss things and that made me rest easier at night!!
not many lawyers give attention to those things, he is very intelligent and well rounded which is a breath of fresh air.
A real human that is not scared to go up against sharks.
No use in asking anyone who they retain because most of them all know the “best lawyer” 🤣
U won't stress out with Jeff defending 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.
