A Neighbor cut down my trees in Connecticut and Attorney Piedra and Christine were immensely helpful! They were very clear with communication every step of the way and Attny Piedra even got back to me during odd hours. I would highly recommend Attny Piedra as I could not have asked for anything to have been handled differently. Very professional, prompt, and clear in every regard. Christine is very responsive and immensely helpful. In dealing with Christine she is very insightful and knowledgeable and was a pleasure to deal with when Attny Piedra was unavailable. If you’re dealing with a timber trespass or someone who cut down your trees without your permission, you’ve them a call and ask for Attorney Piedra! Even if you’re out of state.

Truly can not say enough wonderful words about everyone at O'Neil and Hudkins!! I was going to give shout outs by name and realized it was everyone! The whole team from start to finish are smart, professional, easy to work with, and kind. I know most people dread updating or starting the process of estate planning, Wills, etc, but you can let it go by letting them take care of it all. They handle everything with great knowledge and make it clean and clear on what to expect and what you will receive from them. They walk you through it and give you an easy understanding of all your new life documents. Thanks to them- my self, husband, grown son and 84 year old mom are now set up with everything we need to be able to take care of each other! Thank you all!

I highly recommend Attorney Skinner. He worked with me on my case to stop foreclosure and he did a wonderful job. He knows the law and is very compassionate towards his clients. He is responsive to any questions and available. He works tirelessly for his clients and he is super fast at responding and getting work done. I have worked with other attorneys prior to him and I quickly learned that unlike other attorney that overcharges for simple tasks. He gets the job done fast and efficiently! For example I needed a title exam on my property and another attorney took over weeks to get the information and it was incomplete. Attorney Skinner and his team turned that information around in a day what took another law firm weeks to do it, he does in a day....He is honest and upfront. Do yourself a favor and don't hesitate to hire him. I have dealt with a lot of attorneys and they are of the old school of thought, where they don't inform you what is going on in your case, and non responsive to calls, and overcharges for any simple task and typically they forget you are the client. Attorney Skinner treats everyone with respect and he takes the time to explain your options and what is going on your casefile. You are never left in the dark. He is also does electronic filings and he immediately turns any information on your case to you immediately.

He took time to listen to our concerns, get the details correct and work on our behalf. After hiring him, we got exactly the result we had hoped for, maybe better. If you are looking for an attorney who knows what he is doing & will fight for you, I highly recommend Mr. Skinner.

I'm so glad I found Attorney Arnold. It was just an online search and sometimes you get lucky. Patrick is responsive, patient, and thorough. He explains issues and any legal implications in as much (or little) detail as one requires. I have a tenant problem (lack of rent payments, refusal to leave) that is still ongoing. At our first court hearing, Patrick got them to sign and honor an agreement to start paying immediately and to leave by a certain date. I'm happy to report that they DID make payments and they DID vacate the premises. I would not have been able to accomplish this on my own. My case continues, as there is still an issue of prior monies owed, but I'm very confident that a satisfactory resolution will be reached. Not only is Patrick extremely well-versed in the law and comfortable with the negotiations, but he was able to get my tenants OFF their BUTTS and he did it at an extremely affordable rate. I could not be happier with his services and highly enourage hiring him for your appropriate legal needs.

If you are reading this review because you are considering Patrick Arnold as your choice for legal representation I strongly recommend that you hire him and read this review. I was facing a possible 5 to 7 year prison sentence. To be honest things were looking pretty bleak. The County Attorney's Office was looking to play hardball but Patrick never even broke a sweat. The entire time Patrick remained upbeat and professional and looked at every single angle of the case. As for the outcome thanks to Patrick's diligence and leaving no stone unturned the DA's office went from offering me three years in prison with five years of probation as their initial plea offer to dismissing the charges entirely. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that if I had tried to represent myself or I didn't have Patrick's considerable attention to detail and no-nonsense approach to getting things done I would be sitting in a prison cell right now. Patrick also managed to do all of this while keeping my considerable levels of anxiety in check because he had a level of confidence in our case that made me feel completely at ease. Thank you so much Patrick!

He was able to reach out to other professionals for cross referencing, which I felt helped expedite the situation, proving resourcefulness. Knowledge of his personal expericence and background allowed to help me trust the direction he wanted to go. Josh set a time frame with attainable goals and followed through with success.

I engaged Attorney Joseph Ransmeier to represent me, as buyer, in a recent real-estate transaction. My case was fairly straightforward, although there were a few peculiarities, such as a foreclosure in my property’s history and the drafting of a non-bank mortgage. In our initial conversation Attorney Ransmeier used clear language to list the parts of the transaction, provide a time frame for each part, and break down costs. He explained which costs were fixed (e.g. transfer tax) and quoted estimates—quite accurately—for those which were not (e.g. billable time). Once retained, Attorney Ransmeier patiently listened to my questions and responded with clarity and authority, always making sure that he had conveyed his meaning to my satisfaction. In one case where he had a doubt, he was honest in telling me that he had consulted a colleague with expertise on the matter in question. Along the way, he kept me abreast of seemingly small (but to me important) matters regarding my case by sending concise email updates. These were nice reminders that I was being looked after. I particularly appreciated that in all our email correspondence he took the time to address me by name, wrote in complete sentences, and signed off courteously. He was also not above putting in neighborly touches that reminded me I was dealing with a human being. Summing up, Attorney Joseph Ransmeier did exactly what he was hired to do, did so efficiently and competently, and was consistently responsive, accessible, and polite. I confidently recommend him to others seeking counsel on real-estate matters in northern New Hampshire.

Attorney Marc McDonald came highly recommended by a close friend of the family. Attorney McDonald did not disappoint. The very first meeting, he listened intently as I explained the circumstances of the case. He asked a multitude of questions, gathered documents and developed a clear and concise plan of action. He guided me through the lengthy and daunting legal process with his invaluable knowledge of the law. He gave me practical and expert advice which I then used to make informed decisions. His exceptional communication skills were key in making the process less stressful for me. He responded to every e-mail, phone call, or voicemail personally and promptly. I was kept apprised of every correspondence from either the court or opposing counsel. I was never left in the dark. Attorney McDonald was extremely patient despite my frequent and at times overwhelming inquiries. He worked tirelessly to resolve any areas of concern that I had. His many years of experience as an attorney, helped me to trust his instincts. They were always "spot on". He exceeded every expectation I had. When the two day trial finally came, he arrived on time, well-prepared, confident and focused. He was and is a skilled litigator. I knew I was in very capable hands. Attorney McDonald is a man of integrity. He is a humble and quiet man by nature, but don't let that lead you to believe that you don't have the absolute best advocate fighting on your behalf. You do! He uses his years of experience and legal knowledge to present the merits of your case. You can trust that his commitment to you and your case is his top priority! I would not hesitate to use or refer his outstanding legal services to my family, friends or colleagues now or in the future. He is a consummate professional. I am forever grateful for his unwavering support during one of the most emotional and stressful times in my life.

Attorney Mesinschi and his team at the Mesinschi Law Offices have worked with us over the last four years and have provided us better real-world support and assistance than any lawyer or firm we've used before. With the Mesinschi Law Offices' help we expanded our Canadian green-energy business to the United States and were able to have our key executives immigrate to the United States. Denis and his team helped us revamp our Canadian operations; set-up our U.S. business structure; seek out and secure State and Federal development grants for our technology; and even took care of all of our company's immigration needs. In three years we went from zero U.S. presence to a manufacturing and distribution footprint spanning four states and ensured we would be set up to succeed long term. They've even provided us with all of our template purchase/sales/distribution/operational agreements. I doubt we would have been able to find any one firm to provide this comprehensive level of support let alone on lawyer with such experience. In terms of cost, we have paid more for mundane operational work and contract disputes with firms out of Toronto and Montreal than we did to expand and grow our company into the U.S. -- the best investment we've ever made.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
