Mitch King sat down with me for the first time and listened intentlyas I explained my situation, regarding my indebtedness. He continually reassured me that I was going going to be okay, and made me feel that he and his firm would do his very best, within the bankruptcy law guidelines, to handle my case professionally and with integrety. As we went through all the steps of the total procedure we would be following, I felt very much at ease and new right up front that I had chosen the right Law Firm to handle my case! As it turned out, because of the effort put forth by my lawyer, Mitchell King, all my questions and concerns were taken care of, and I am now free of all indebtedness, and well on the road to recovery, and most of all peace in my life, once again!

In the early stages of the startup process for my new company I met with Mitchell to discuss my legal needs. MItchell guided me through the process with expert advise, and help prepare a legal project strategy that fit my needs within a budget that allowed us to get up and running armed with all the necessary legal tools including royalty agreements, sales agreements, company bylaws, trademarking services, web privacy policy, etc. Mitchell helped us implement this comprehensive array on an aggressive timeline, and enabled us to move quickly and confidently into the market on solid legal footing. I highly recommend Mitchell for any startup businesses that are looking for a legal partner in their new endeavor.

When my wife and I got married in Peru, it was time to get her a visa + green card and contacted Marcus for assistance. He took charge of the process and kept us both very close to the case which was perfect. Everything Marcus told us to expect happened and both of us were prepared. Marcus asked for a lot of information but he tells you exactly why and made the process that much more smoother. I totally recommend Marcus to help with any immigration challenges.

Marcus, thanks for all of your hard work, I really appreciate everything you have done for my wife and me. I would like to congratulate and acknowledge you on doing the impossible, everyone told me that it would take several years to have my wife come to America and get her green card, but in a bit more than six months my wife is here on US Soil. Also in an unbelievable two months she has her Green Card in her hand. I will definitely recommend you to everyone I know looking for help with their immigration issues!

Mr. Hage represented me in a long, high conflict divorce last January. Through it all, Brian remained focused, patient and ethical. He kept me calm and instilled a great deal of trust in his capabilities. His manner before the Judge was impeccable and his advice and procedure was sound. We ended with a highly favorable resolution, despite all odds. He went the extra mile for us again and again.
I can't recommend his services highly enough. My daughter and I couldn't be where we are today if Mr. Hage hadn't taken our case.

The poor review for this firm is from an individual that the attorney needed to seek a harassment restraining order against. The basis for that request involves extortion in 2021. The 2924 review perpetuates the harassment. Public records in Hennepin County detail the facts.

Kevin Gray was excellent to work with. He managed my case efficiently and effectively. I had a lawsuit started against me in Hennepin County which I believed did not have any merit. Kevin contacted the opposing counsel and was able to convince them not to pursue the matter and the lawsuit was ultimately dismissed. Kevin was very responsive to my communications and kept me advised as his discussions with the other side progressed. He did an excellent job of explaining to me my rights and the defenses to the claim that were avaialbe to me. I found Mr. Gray very easy to work with and very responsive to my inquiries. I was very pleased with the result and would strongly recommmend Mr. Gray.

I had some legal questions regarding an entrepreneurial venture I'm working on, and I got in contact with Royee. I was able to send my questions ahead of time to expedite the conversation, and the information I received was very helpful. He was honest about what he was able to answer and gave recommendations for other sources who might have more specific information (as my questions involved multiple aspects of the law). He was professional yet kind, and I am very appreciative for what he was able to help me with.

I had a very positive experience, and I would absolutely recommend Nicholas.

When my partner was diagnosed with terminal cancer, we went to Mr Zweber on the recommendation of a lawyer friend. He helped us avoid some pitfalls that would have left me in debt, guided us through setting up a POA, his health directive, and will. Working with him was very comfortable, and he knows his elder law stuff--he was part of the team that "wrote the book" on Minnesota Elder Law.

Last year I had gotten into a bit of trouble. I had gotten a lift home after a party when we were pulled over. Drugs were found in the car and before I knew it I was being charged with possession. It was a mess and I didn't know what to do. I spoke with a few attorneys and none of them seemed to believe me. They all wanted exorbitant amounts of money and then advised me to take a plea. I was lucky enough to find Brenda. She was the first lawyer who truly listened to what I had to say and seemed to believe my story. Brenda did a great job and was very professional. She always let me know what was going on and never lost patience with me when I called her around the clock. Before I knew it she had gotten all the charges dismissed. I recommend her to everyone.

Sold a property contract for deed. Was later sued by buyer for fraud, 'undisclosed' easement, property line issues and recission of contract in general. Retained Tom in doing my own search for representation. He methodically and successfully was able to demonstrate in trial that each point in the plaintiff's case was unfounded and the judge ruled in my favor on all points. I appreciated Tom's diligence and professionalism.

The first public defender Who actually tried to persuade the court to allow work release for a vastly inflated unintentionally acquired violation of probation from an initial arrest that was made on biased and illegitimate claims. And work release was approved a big step up for someone already in debt just trying to make ends meet and not loose their job, family, pets, home and possessions to the parasitic judicial system. So it was a bit of a shock that no one mentioned 40 days of work release would cost $6,540 upfront in cash before they will take you! That's 5 times the normal amount that could be made in 40 days with this job. Don't know what to do again. Stuck in the viscous downward cycle of trying to do what's ordered and not being able to afford to do it. Where even doing time isnt proof of compliance since your going right Back in for not being able to pay the fees.

Scott is refreshing brand of lawyer. He actually cares about my needs and wants to make sure I completely understand my situation and what I'm getting into. Its very clear that his interest is helping me solve my problem, NOT how much money he's going to make. It is clearly communicated to me what the costs are going to be to solve my issue, and I'm not surprised when I get my bill with lots of extras!!!

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.
