Despite their website stating they handle cases that include Economical Damages that include,
-Lost wages from missed time at work
-Loss of earning capacity
-Property damage, such as damage to your vehicle in the crash
And Non-Economic Damages that include,
-Emotional issues (stress, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, etc.)
-Humiliation
I guess, according to the representative I spoke to, that information is false. I wasnt even given a chance to speak to a lawyer despite mentioning them being listed on their website. She was just rude and repeated her statement. If you're looking for a lawyer regarding those damages, don't bother calling these guys. You'll only get frustrated.

I recently had the pleasure of working with TSR injury Law, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the start, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to my case. They took the time to explain every detail, answered all my questions, and made me feel confident throughout the entire process.
Their expertise and attention to detail were evident in every step, and I felt genuinely cared for as a client. Thanks to their hard work, the outcome exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a law firm that combines professionalism with a personal touch, TSR Injury Law is the one to choose. Thanks again for the outstanding service!

I wish there was a rating of 1 to 10 because Mr. Keyser deserves a 10 out of 10! The overall experience of going to court can be a very unsettling and stressful process... Mr. Keyser genuinely cares about his clients and the overall outcome of their cases!
While I was drowning in anxiety and uncertainty of my case, Mr. Keyser walked me through the entire process and actually got me a better outcome than I had originally anticipated!
I would highly recommend to have Mr. Keyser in your corner for all of your law/court needs!

Kristine Zajac met with me in-person, she was kind and approachable. She helped me navigate a confusing child support situation from an old divorce decree. Her law firm was insightful and very responsive throughout the process, and they filed the new stipulation with the courts, which was very helpful, and fast.

Hoglund Law was AWESOME! They hand walked me through what needed to be done. And Never made me feel bad when I made a mistake, or didn’t know what I was doing! They have great customer service and above all know the Law!!! Not once was I left hanging. If they said they’d call back or do something, they did it!! So rare in these times. Also prices were fair and there were no hidden costs! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and if I need legal help, they are the first on my list to call.
Thanks to all at Hoglund who helped me through a not so fun time in my life! You folks are the best!
Satisfied client. Brent Wilker

I was referred to Rebecca via LegalShield to review my first commercial lease and I am very happy with her services. She was attentive, explained key differences between commercial and residential leases, and answered all my questions.
We talked through the lease after reading and she gave me several pieces of actionable advice which I incorporated into the my counter-proposal.
Her rates were reasonable and I paid up front for the length document review (60+ pages) and the discussion time which was less than I had anticipated.

From the very beginning, he has demonstrated a remarkable ability to remain fully present and committed, offering clear and timely communication every step of the way.
Señor Evan approaches each case with care, expertise, and an admirable level of professionalism. His ability to focus entirely on the needs of his clients, combined with his deep understanding of the law, makes him an outstanding attorney. I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone seeking a reliable, compassionate, and results-driven professional. Thank you, Señor Evan, for your exceptional work and support!

He is responsive and honest - no misinformation, fluff, or salesmanship - and worked with me to outline the most cost efficient and effective way to accomplish the things I needed. Evan was also kind and supportive throughout the process, which helped me to feel safe and secure in spite of a difficult situation. Highly recommend calling him if you are in need!

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience under less-than-ideal circumstances with worker’s compensation. Denise and Conrad were quick to respond when I had questions and explained every step very well. I contacted them after being jerked around by worker’s compensation insurance company for an injury. Denise helped me get more treatment that improved my injury and negotiated a good settlement. I would recommend them to anyone and would use them again in heartbeat!

I have never worked with them I dont even live in MN! But I just hung up with a nice lady who had the chance of visiting their office. She was so happy after having some run ins with attorneys who only cared about the pay. They met with her spoke for 2 hours free of charge which in return sent the message that they're here to help and they want to really understand your legal matter and they see you as a person not a case number. She was over the moon after being discouraged prior to meeting them. I just had to share it because I myself was moved by how excited and happy the visit made her. She mentioned its a small office and not too many people know about them so this felt necessary! THANK YOU FOR MAKING HER DAY IN RETURN SHE MADE MINE!!!

When I found MLG Disability, PPLC, my disability application and appeal had been denied, a hearing was the next step and my money was running out. Needless to say I was facing a very dire situation that I had zero experience with. I was nervous, scared and chronically ill.
The team at MLG Disability jumped right in and were outstanding.
Daniel walked me through the entire process. His professionalism and knowledge of the process put me at ease. My appeal was just approved and I have Daniel and MLG to thank.

We used Jeff Montpetit for our auto accident claim. He was fantastic to work with. He kept us informed and really went to bat for us every step of the way. He ensured we understood the process and only moved forward with aspects of our case after a thorough review and conversation with us. He is personable and I can tell that he genuinely cares about his clients. We appreciate all he did for us and would highly recommend him!

I have worked with Matt for a year and a half on my case. We just settled it and I am blown away with what he was able to secure for me for my medical future. From March of 2023 until now, Matt and his fantastic team have made this process easy to understand. They have the name night when they say "The Know Your Rights", these folks definitely know what they're doing. If you want a fantastic attorney, look no further than Matt and his team.

Jeff Montpetit has represented me on two auto accident cases. One in 2012 and the other in 2023. The later one also involved my wife and my 10 year old daughter.
He has always represented me with integrity and has always been straight and upfront with me. To anyone looking for a great attorney to represent you, then Mr. Montpetit is your guy. Just remember cases take time, so be patient, likely 12 to 24 months.

Lol. I feel such as a fool writing this.
One of my friend needed an immigration lawyer so i foolishly referred him to this law firm without due diligence lmao.
But my friend had issues in his marriage and could not continue but he already paid over $3,000 for the process. Nothing has been done yet, in fact my friend is moving to another country.
My friend now requested for a refund and now he can't even get a response from the lawyer anymore.
Such as horrible situation that i think i put my friend in. I feel terrible.
I hope my other friends will come and help me rate this law firm.
This shouldn be happening tbh

As a first-time reviewer for a lawyer, I felt compelled to share my experience working with Jon Baker and his team. Living out of state made finding the right lawyer challenging, but after interviewing a few firms, Jon was a breath of fresh air. From our first consultation, his approachable demeanor and active listening stood out. He carefully laid out our options and used both his industry expertise and deep local knowledge to guide us through the process.
Jon was incredibly diligent, keeping us updated at every step and ensuring smooth communication with the other party. Thanks to his attention to detail and support, we achieved our desired outcome with minimal stress. His reasonable pricing and down-to-earth personality turned a stressful situation into a manageable one for my family and me. I genuinely can’t recommend Jon enough—next time I’m in Northern Minnesota, I’d love to buy him a beer!

I would suggest reaching out to Neff Law Firm if you are in need of an Employment Attorney. I have been extremely impressed with the Neff Law Firm's thorough and intentional approach to gathering facts for my case. Their process has helped me better understand the importance of making sure every detail is accurately documented. I appreciated how the entire staff was actively involved in my case, reaching out to me whenever they needed information or updates.
Working with Fred over the past several months has confirmed that I chose the right attorney. He is deliberate, compassionate, and attentive during our meetings, allowing me to see my case more clearly. Fred helped me understand not only the legal aspects but also the impact of the situation, giving me confidence that I was treated unfairly and that my case was valid.
I highly recommend the Neff Law Firm if you are looking for an attorney who takes the time to listen, focuses on the details, and truly prioritizes you as a person.

I am currently in the middle of my case with Neff Law Firm, and I couldn't be more impressed. Fred Neff and his team truly embody the qualities of a top-tier law firm.

Fred's enthusiasm and positivity have reenergized me, making the process much more bearable.
What sets Neff Law Firm apart is their ability to stay abreast of changing laws and their genuine care for their clients. The support staff are also very kind and knowledgeable, always ready to assist with a friendly and professional demeanor. I highly recommend Neff Law Firm to anyone in need of legal representation in Labor and Employment Law.

I'm not even sure where to start. There aren't many people that are experts in probate/estate law. Nathan Krogh is however one of those people. I watched Nathan single-handedly tackled a complicated case for me and he did an amazing job. Which in the end meant a victory for me. From my perspective Nathan is a quintessential professional. He did everything right in my book. Not just law knowledge which seemed endless but his amazing ability to disassemble all the complicated pieces and explain it in simple terms that I could easily understand. He also has extensive experience in his field. Nathan did everything on time or before the deadline we agreed on. He picked up the phone when I called or called me right back if he wasn't in the office when I left a message. He answered all my emails in a timely manner PLUS he's a hockey player and a hockey dad. If ever I need professional probate/estate law assistance Nathan is the only place I'll go and I will recommend him to anyone that asks me.

Nathan Krogh, of Krogh Law Firm, P.A., is a great attorney! He is competent and attentive. He worked with us on setting up an LLC and purchase a commercial building. It was a complicated situation, but he made everything easy for us. His response time to our questions was incredible, and his fees are reasonable! Moving forward, we will be using Nathan for our real estate, probate, and estate planning. He has earned our trust!

We inherited real estate and had been told by a real estate agent, 2 different lawyers and an employee of a title company, that Probate Court would be necessary to transfer the property title. Frankly I was nervous!
One of Nathan's expertise is in the area of real estate law, and with his knowledge of the law he is amazing.
Nathan is a great listener, and he quickly assured us that probate would NOT be necessary. He then proceeded with examples (in lay terms) the next steps necessary for title and sale. Only a small percent of lawyers in Minnesota are Board Certified Real Property Law Specialists; we hired him, and he made our lives much easier. Without hesitation, we would definitely recommend Krogh Law Firm in Roseville, Minnesota.

Run. I could quote the guy in writing. He didn’t look over anything until two days before a major event after a year under contract and 10k paid. Just to run up the bill last minute to say settle, but “you could have got more than double” after the fact.. Botched the settlement agreement and the opposing lawyer roasted him on the fact. Would not recommend.

I am an independent contractor - commissioned sales rep - and wanted advice about choice of law and where would be the best location to file a lawsuit for unpaid commissions.
Craig helped me by analyzing my potential claim and the applicabilty of Minnesota laws to my case. Specifically, he addressed the Minnesota Termination of Sales Representatives Act and Minnesota Statutes 181.145 as it might apply to a contractor not located in or having territory including Minnesota (the company not paying commissions is located in MN). He was able to boild down a stack of paperwork to the most important details in a very short period of time.
Craig was honest, clear, puctual and truly had my best interests in mind during our meetings.
The entire staff, especially Kelly Fiege, were very helpful and supportive.
I recommend Craig for any contract or commision related dispute that a person may have.

I consider calling Craig Trepanier to represent me to be one of the best decisions I have made. Craig Trepanier and Mike McCain completely immersed themselves in the intricacies of my case and worked tirelessly to achieve a favorable outcome. They were sensitive to the fact that I had limited resources available with which to defend myself, and always gave candid, sound advice about how best to use those resources. In the course of my legal case I quickly learned that there is a huge range in the quality of representation provided by different employment law firms. I absolutely recommend Trepanier & MacGillis to anyone involved in an employment law dispute.

We had the task of selling a facility with an existing air permit in Minnesota that we had constructed and intermittently run for one year. The buyer had one of the nation's largest in-house environmental teams and dedicated their team as well as prominent environmental lawyers to this asset purchase. We hired Joe to be our leader on all environmental issues because of his reputation and history of working with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. During the three month due diligence process, the issues expanded from the air permit to EPA issues and Joe led all of our negotiations with the buyer's team. We had a successful transaction outcome due, in large part, to Joe's knowledge and communications and negotiating skills.

I highly recommend John Shoemaker for every aspect of Real Estate Law. I have had the opportunity to work closely with him as he fought for my landlords' and my tenants' civil rights, property rights and economic rights. I have witnessed his "full court press style" of fighting for people all the way to the United States Supreme Court. The decisions that he has obtained have singlehandedly changed the landscape of housing rights and preserved for every one in every socio-economic class the ability to rise up and survive economically going forward. After working with dozens of attornies I can't think of another one who is as quick on his feet, as passionate or as skilled as Mr. Shoemaker. I've also never encountered one who has the guts and perseverance to fight the good fight all the way to the top for all of us. Mr. Shoemaker isn't fighting for a big retainer or a one time profit, he's fighting for justice for all of us and for his client to gain economic compensation for being damaged. He has been my first call for help for almost a decade and he will remain my first call for help and my first referral for those who need help. If you have been damaged if your rights have been disregarded or you want to blow the whistle, you could not have a better Advocate to help make you whole again.

My automobile was ruined due to a manufacturer's engine defect. I was connected with Chris through the legal service at my company. I spoke with Chris on several occasions to explain the specifics of my case and to find out what my options were for getting compensation from the manufacturer. In each conversation Chris was polite, well informed and explained very clearly to me what was needed from me to proceed with a legal action. Chris also made clear what outcomes I could expect if I pursued any action. As issues and milestones came up Chris always kept me informed. When I had questions Chris would respond in a timely and informative manner. When decisions needed to be made, Chris provided clear and concise options and likely outcomes, and made it plain that it was up to me as to how to proceed. However the case would have been resolved I would have felt that I was represented by an excellent advocate who was on my side. Chris was an honest, forthright partner who was an excellent communicator.
Happily, the outcome was much better than I had hoped for and I know full well that I would not have received the same settlement, if any, without Chris' outstanding work.
I would recommend Chris to anyone who needs legal assistance and if I need help in the future I will surely call on Chris.

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.
