My husband hired Angela Medley for a very difficult/stressful case. When I say she's the absolute best I mean it. She done something that had never been done after so many years. Without giving to much information my husband wasn't on his sons birth certificate and the statute was up for it to be changed,but that didn't stop Angela. He now is on his son birth certificate and he has his last name. Then we went on to the custody part and man when I say Angela is a SHARK I mean it. She fought and fought for everything my husband wanted and he got what he was asking for plus some. She always kept him updated and always asked his opinion before she made any decisions.
I'd highly recommend Mrs. Medley and her associates for any case you need assistance with. They all are ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!!

This was my first time hiring a lawyer and Randy far exceeded my expectations. During my first discussion with him, he was professional, empathetic, and direct while laying out the entire process for me. I really appreciated the detail and time he committed. From that first discussion to the end of the case, he was always available and provided prompt responses to any question I had. I would highly recommend him and his practice to anyone I know.

I have never hired an attorney before and was apprehensive when it came to hiring an attorney to represent me in a divorce, I did my research including signing up for divorce seminars. I still did not feel comfortable. Randy and his staff changed this. They made themselves available for me and my questions. Brought up valuable issues I had not thought about. I truly appreciate their help through this process.

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 felt lost and desperate and SCARED! I have 4 DUI's...yep 4 and had been without a license for about 18 + years. I am 100% sober now and felt ready for the privilege of driving. I had been denied by the license appeal board and felt a need to change attorneys...that's when I was introduced to Attorney Vickrey. He told me the good the bad and what could be the ugly. He walked me through each step and made sure that all my ducks were in a row. The man texted / called me on the weekends! The second time around, with Attorney Vickrey, we had success and my license was fully reinstated with no restrictions! Attorney Vickrey will ALWAYS be my go to attorney. RESPECT!!!!

Joe is a very strong lawyer that takes his clients business very serious. I have known for almost 10 years and can sincerely say that he is one of the best litigators out there and is very passionate about getting desired results for his clients. Opposing counsel will need to bring there "A" game if they are ever up against Joe Ejbeh.

I called to get a consultation for representation during divorce. In less than five minutes Mr. Metry made summery decision that he didn't want to take me on as a client. He doesn't have much experience with with contested divorce involving minors. Was unwilling to listen due to the stress of the situation.
Would not recommend an attorney who is unwilling to even hear details.

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.
