I (luckily) haven't had to deal with many lawyers in my life, but this location is a complete joke. Norma Jean is the first person you'll, unfortunately, run into and she makes it known from the beginning that you are inconveniencing her and she can't wait for you to be out of her face.
I went to speak with an attorney, and for whatever reason they weren't in the office, I asked Norma Jean when they should be expected back and she immediately snapped back, "How would I know? I'm not a secretary!" I was surprised at the reaction so it took me a minute to gather my thoughts, but she managed to throw, "Is there anything else?" With the same horrible and unnecessary attitude. I just wanted to get out of there at this point, so I just asked for a card, I got a sigh out of her (of course), and I left.
Afterwards, I tried calling the number on the card multiple times over at least 2 weeks to schedule another meeting and I just kept getting sent to voicemail. Finally, after weeks of hearing nothing from these attorneys, the issue was resolved and about 3 days after that, the attorney's assistant finally decided to return my call.
I was shocked by how unprofessional, rude, and uncaring this 'professional' attorney's office was. I will never waste my time and money on them again and I recommend no one else does either. There are much better lawyers in Las Vegas.

I reached Pariente Law a cryminal lawyer since my business got hacked thru an ex employee, he referred me to Robbert Rabbat since he would be able to take my case both of those lawyers told me that in order to start my case i would need 10k retainer and be thinking to spend 20k in the next couple weeks, once i got to Robbert Rabbat he asked her receptionist to pay their comision to Pariente Law because he refered him. Then same week he asked for 5k because he was going to hire a foreinseic guy, i gave the money. at the end he only sent a cease and desist letter to the hacker that was my exemployee. He hired a foreinseic that doesnt know how to do his Job , he wasnt able to find any evidence because he couldnt get into a device, so Robbert told me go with the FBI instead and kept my money. I went for my self to find who could help me, I found another foreinseic who did find evidence, Robbert wasnt able to even do a resstriccion order proteccion for me, on top of that he said on a good will ( with 15k in the pocket) said i will request a subpina which never did. Obviously he didnt have a clue about the case he was taking. So in few words a cease and desist letter costed me 15k. and he said he cant not return money since he performance his job. So it means I hired a Lawyer that his performance was like a job that any parelegal would have done! for 5 porcent of the money he got.

I had phone consultation on the phone 2 days ago and we sent out email with basic information as he instructed. We didn't get any respond from him so we contacted him on the phone again.. he said he will send out email right away but didn't hear anything till next day. When I called him again he said he doesn't want to represent my case..? I don't think he even knows the meaning of "right away" or "immediately" and also shows lack of concern towards to his clients. Very disappointed. I actually feeling lucky that he didn't take my case!

My husband and I did everything possible to comply with the terms of our chapter 13 case. Our previous attorney failed us in many ways. While we we were able to achieve our goal and complete the plan, it was not disclosed that we needed additional action. Mr. Riggi was amazing in helping us to solidify our closure to the matter at hand. He brings empathy, compassion, and law experience like no other I have ever encountered. I left 6 messages for a return call regarding our case. He called. He was concerned and wanted to help. Great integrity

This was the best experience I've had with a lawyer, other than having lunch with my aunt. David is amazingly helpful. After taking my initial call, he called back within the hour to discuss his research. He is very thorough. I hope I never find my self in this situation again, but if I do, at least I only need to make one call now.

Tom Standish and his associates, mainly Phillip Spralding, do not practice evidence based law. They are scum bags, who pander to vulnerable females in difficult times to maximize their firms profits. They do not care about the best situation or well-being of children. They more focus on how they can exploit the imperfect system of family law for their maximum benefit.
They are racist.
I don’t know how they have such a high rating on this platform, but I strongly disagree.
I hope this firm, and attorneys of this shallow caliber lose their credibility as soon as possible.

I hired this attorney for what he claimed was an "easy" case and that he would have no problem obtaining what we were hiring him to do. After several months and approximately $10,000.00 that was paid to him, he stopped all contact with me. He would not return my phone calls, he would not answer emails. I would set up phone conferences with his secretary and he would not attend the phone conferences (this happened about 5 times in a 5 month period). All I was asking for was some kind of update to my case.
During these 5 months of being ignored I still received regular monthly bills which showed that he had done nothing regarding my case in these 5 months. One day out of the blue I received a phone call from this attorney's assistant and he informed me that we should not go any further with this case because we had no chance of winning the case. I explained to him that I was not surprised we had no chance of winning the case due to the fact that it had been ignored for the past 5 months and that I was also ignored during these 5 months and all he could say is that he was sorry. I would not recommend this attorney or his firm. Ignoring a client is wrong and very unprofessional and especially when the client had already paid $10,000.00 toward the case. This attorney does not care for his clients or their well being. He will tell you whatever he feels will get you to hire him and then after he receives many thousands of dollars he will ignore you and leave you to hang no matter how important the case is to you. In this situation my career was at stake and could have been saved if the job was done and done properly in a timely manner by the attorney.

Ms Kern was retained by our HOA to help us stop an Airbnb from doing business in our condo complex. We, as individual owners, do Not feel she represented us as we are still having to find a way to make this condo owner Cease and Desist immediately. She found numerous reasons and ways the Airbnb condo owner Could continue operating But did Not help Us Stop this short term rental. Airbnb is a Business and we are not zoned for a business. And the people who are using Airbnbs are Transients and Not Residents; as our HOA requires in order to to live here. We should not have to rewrite our CC & Rs to limit rental times as it is already illegal for people who are Not Residents to live here Short term or longer if they do not meet our CC &Rs definition off a Resident!
Any other rulings regarding Airbnbs Should not Supersede our CC&Rs as they were written 30 plus years ago......long before Airb&bs were even Invented!!!

I sued Amazon in small claims court because I got hacked and the software was launched from Amazon cloud with the defendant having knowledge of it being hosted there. Mr. Eaton was representing the defendant. He tried to win the case by insulting and verbally attacking me to avoid paying damages. He actually told the judge that the registered agent for Amazon didn't matter to toss the case even though jurisdiction was agreed upon during the first hearing. He then proceeded to call me an "amateur that delivered the papers myself" I have to admit I'm not a lawyer but what a fine professional Mr. Eaton is.

I am an out-ofstate retired attorney, but this office refuses to meet with me or answer questions about civil rights. This office authorized an unconstitutional arrest which resulted, of course, in an acquittal. This office is run by cowboy attorneys who sat for the easy to pass Nevada bar exam, NOT the hardest bar exam in the U S that I sat for. They would be disbarred in my home state.

Ardea was very instrumental in resolving a water damage claim which resulted in extensive damage to the first floor of our home. After 6 months of trying to deal with the insurance on our own, and the insurance company not willing to pay for the damages caused by their client's negligence, we hired Ardea. Once Ardea was involved, the insurance company finally took full responsibility for the damages done to our home and we were able receive a settlement which allowed us to repair the damages done to our home.
I highly recommend Ardea and her staff. They are very professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.

Attention Real Estate Investors:
I felt obligated to write this review for any fellow Nevadan investor considering the firm. Now I can’t speak for the entire firm. I worked specifically with Taylor Simpson. He was referred by a very talented and trusted associate in real estate, so I didn’t bother reading any reviews prior to visiting the office.
In any event, I gave 2 stars because he’s appears to be a nice and competent lawyer. I have to assume his morals, workload or maybe laziness prevented him from doing his job in my case.
During our initial consultation he listened patiently and although it took an hour long dialogue to get on the same page, I left confident that he completely understood my request. He charged a flat fee, which I thought included 3 documents. I found it reasonable, given the time we spent discussing the documents I needed updated. I took a photo of what was discussed and the documents to be delivered. It wasn’t that I didn’t trust him, I just don’t have the best memory and wanted to make sure I recalled what was discussed. I paid upfront…a mistake on my part….keep reading..
I was told it was 3 hours worth of work and I could expect the updated contracts and addendum in a week. 3 weeks passed and I had a property under contract that would use this specific deal structure, so I gave the office a call for an update. I called the front desk clerk 3 times that week and she was always polite and tried to get Mr. Simpson on the phone. She also explained he was out with COVID. Not to be callous, but I don’t see how that stops a young, healthy lad like him from reviewing a contract. I didn’t say this, but it was what I was thinking. In any event, another week and a half passed.
Note: If you’re tracking this was about 5 weeks after I sat down with him for 2 documents to be updated and one created. All of which was supposed to take 3 hours, as stated by Mr. Taylor.
Back to the story….now I finally got the paperwork back and nothing in the document really changed. It was effectively reformatted and a bunch of clauses added to protect the other party. He claimed that a few were intended to protect my interest, but were already included in the original document with different verbiage. When questioned on all the paragraphs added to protect the other party….crickets….literally no response…..
I asked whether a clause could be added and is enforceable in Nevada, since he apparently was too busy to respond….again…crickets….
I called the front desk….she was very polite as usual…told me he had just left for lunch and would get back to me……again…you guessed it crickets…..
So I paid Mr. Simpson above $999 to review documents and got a document that only protected the other party with no further explanation….I wont give the exact amount because I’m sure they’re rates will change with inflation running so hot….
My point is….Mr. Simpson…although seemingly intelligent and polite….either allows his morals to get in the way of doing his job….is unable to be fully transparent with his clients….is unable to have an honest dialogue….is uncomfortable with challenges via email…or just takes your money and chooses not to deliver…if you’re not a big ticket case…either way its not good for the typical real estate investor….Had I been a guy discussing a 100+ units, he may have handled it differently…money always talks in this town…but who knows…..
Maybe be cautious and work with the firm when you have a very expensive case….and never pay the entire amount upfront…ask me how I know….Happy Investing.

Disappointed in the way Mr Thomson handled my boyfriend's case. If you take on a case and your client has OVER WHELMING evidence of wrong doing, along with a clear picture of what your client asks for, that means you believe in the case. You take it and fight for your client. Mr. Thomson asked for money with NO breakdown of costs or a bill. When confronted about his billing practices, he avoided the question. He said you can do things along the way to save on costs and made a promise to only take a certain amount of money from the PRESURED settlement, which he was told he could talk at and in the end told to be quiet and not allowed to speak. A promise and a hand shake to only take a certain amount of money should mean something. In the end he lied! Not right, do the right thing and and give him the money you owe him..

The worst Attorney I have ever used. I am being billed frivolous charges and not even receiving return phone calls from Dean or his assistants.
After sitting down with Jackie his assistant last week, at her suggestion, due to his continued absence. I was told I needed to wait 4 business days to get a follow-up on the letter on both cases, motions and further counsel...when I called yesterday Sept. 14th back to back, I was hung up on!? What's worse is Jackie his assistant talked to my ex-wife and whatever she said to her was a disadvantage to me because right after that phone call, My ex-wife claimed she didnt agree with the Stipulated Order and decided to jump ship and get an attorney...and Dean DIDNT CHALLENGE THAT EITHER!
This is ridiculous and I want a full refund for every dime that My girlfriend and I have given to Dean. He never did anything. He has taken over $3000 from my gf and I and he hasn't filed anything. He was late to every appearance. He has not represented or defended me at all in either of these custody cases. Dean Kajioka is the worst Attorney I have ever seen and I will be filing with the state board so no one else can be a victim to his Bullying antics. May God Forgive him for his evil actions.

Retained attorney Dean Kajioka for a civil matter.
Dean Kajioka filed a lawsuit on my behalf and that was it.
A year later I receive a call from a different attorney saying she worked with Dean Kajioka and was handling the matter. Three months later after many attempts of trying to reach Dean Kajioka a different attorney calls me saying he works with Dean Kajioka and he now is handling my case.It has turned into nothing but a nightmare for me, I am in the process of filing a complaint with the State Bar of Nevada.

I was referred to this attorney by the Nevada State Bar Lawyer Referral service. After spending some time explaining my situation to his assistant, i was told that he would get back to me to give me a 1/2 hour consult for the fee of $45 as was outlined to me by the NSB Lawyer referral service. Some time later I received a call from his assistant where she informed me that he would not give me a consult, but when I asked for what reason and on what basis he refused to fulfill his commitment to the bar association, she said he did not say. In other words, he provided me no reason nor any basis for denying me this service for which he received a referral. This individual does not deserve to receive referrals from the Bar Association, and I can't imagine he is worthy of your trust and/or business. It's time for people to call out these callous, self-serving, unprofessional cads out there pretending to be decent human beings with no uncertain terms. John W. Thompson DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE A LAWYER IN THE STATE OF NEVADA OR ANY OTHER STATE, IMO.

Ben Child’s should be disbarred. He stole from me. A single mother. Took my money and quit the first day of court so he would not have to pay me back legally. He took advantage of a woman already being abused by a drug addict, alcoholic abuser trying to get custody of our son, after abandoning him for seven years, never paying child support and abusing me, raping me. He embarrassed me in family court. And stole my money because he didn’t do anything. Filed one motion for $2500. Thief.

Benjamin B Childs handled the annulment for myself and my former wife. His instructions were clear and informative thereby dealing with the matter in a concise and uncomplicated manner. He dealt with the matter within our budget in a professional manner and speedily dissolved the union within a 6 week period. Would I hire him again -- definitely.

This lawyer should be held accountable for the frivolous lawsuit she filed against the Biden electors as individuals resulting in emotional and financial hardships for these DULY ELECTED electoral college representatives of President-elect Joe Biden. Shameful use of the courts for harassment purposes.

Throwing out frivolous, baseless accusations involving “voter fraud” and “irregularities” in the 2020 Presidential Election. She is trying to sue Nevada’s faithless elector’s, and trying to appointing a different set of electors for Trump (he was beaten BADLY by President Elect Biden in Nevada and across the United States). She also provides ZERO proof—heresay within heresay, and should be disbarred for undermining faith in our democratic institutions. What a disgraceful person.

In the Matter of DISCIPLINE OF Bruce I. FLAMMEY, Esq., Bar No. 8066.
David A. Clark, Bar Counsel State Bar of Nevada/Las Vegas Bruce I. Flammey
David A. Clark, Bar Counsel
State Bar of Nevada/Las Vegas
Bruce I. Flammey
ORDER DECLINING TO IMPOSE TEMPORARY SUSPENSION
This is a petition by bar counsel pursuant to SCR 111(4) concerning attorney Bruce I. Flammey, based on Flammey's conviction in Las Vegas Township Justice Court, pursuant to a nolo contendere plea, of first-offense driving under the influence. See SCR 111(2). Because Flammey's conviction is not one of those specifically discussed in SCR 111(6)-(8) as a “serious” crime requiring suspension and automatic referral to the disciplinary board, temporary suspension and referral to the disciplinary board are discretionary with this court. SCR 111(9).The gravity of drinking and driving cannot be minimized; however, first-offense misdemeanor driving under the influence is not the type of offense for which professional discipline is typically imposed. See 2 Geoffrey C. Hazard, Jr., W. William Hodes & Peter R. Jarvis, The Law of Lawyering § 65.4 (3d ed.2012); In the Matter of Respondent I, 2 Cal. State Bar Ct. Rptr. 260, 266 n. 6, 272 (Rev.Dept.1993).

At first I was impressed with mr flamney He talked a very good game told me all of the things they HOA did wrong in my case but when mediation came.I felt he didn’t stand up for me and didn’t challenge them when they answered his questions which we both knew were not accurate. We reached an agreement that I wasn’t comfortable with. And when I changed my mind he sent me a refund for my retainer and wouldn’t answer my emails or phone calls. I feel he didn’t serve my best interest. I wouldn’t hire this guy. Find somebody else.

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.
