Brent made the complex process of applying for U.S. permanent residency much more manageable. He was patient, thorough, and took the time to answer all of our questions (of which there were many!). We recommend working with Brent for any immigration needs that you might have - his years of experience and familiarity with USCIS processes are second to none.

Brent has been an invaluable asset and advocate for myself and my husband throughout our entire immigration journey. We began working with Mr. Poirier during early 2020 and are just finishing up with him now as we await the naturalization oath ceremony. Brent's knowledge and advice is worth its weight in gold. He prepared seamless applications for us and was always available and reachable for any question—big or small. Do yourself a favor and hire a professional to navigate the road to immigration and citizenship with you; it will save you the most precious resource of all, your time. Thank you Brent and God bless!

I had the pleasure of working with Daniel on a trademark case, and I was lucky to have found him. If given the opportunity, do not hesitate to work with him. Law, in general, is confusing, and Daniel could have easily added random billable hours for things that would not have helped our case. But Daniel always did what was in our best interest and showed such integrity when we worked with him.
Additionally, Daniel always made himself available and explained everything in a way that was easy for me to understand. Most importantly, though, Daniel is a good person. He is someone whom I would want by my side in any case because I can trust that he is giving honest advice. Furthermore, he always delivered work on time and thought outside of the box.
I can't thank him enough for all of his help, and I will be recommending him to all of my business associates.

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.

Interacting with Allison Ambrose and her team at Wescott Law was a delightful experience. Their professionalism and friendliness were truly commendable, making them highly recommended. Allison successfully handled my reckless driving case, resulting in my only receiving a speeding ticket, a one-month driving record suspension, and maintaining a safe driving record, all of which greatly benefited my business. Without her help, I could have faced a reckless driving conviction, jeopardizing my transportation business, especially considering my insurance premiums would skyrocket due to having more than 10 vehicles in my business. This outcome was the best we could have hoped for in the trial. Thank you very much for your assistance.

I cannot say enough good about Attorney Jannette Mooney's professionalism, vast knowledge of the law and legal system, her attention to every detail in my case, and her supportive
com-alongside attitude during difficult circumstances. Not only does Attorney Mooney go above and beyond for her clients but her admin staff is on top of everything, always in communication, and thorough with every piece of correspondence and actions needed in each case. My experience with her was in the beginning of her career, 22+ years ago and due to the fact of her "no matter what, I am in this with you mind set", I referred her to my sister whom was in the midst of a very complicated and difficult custody case. Not only did Attorney Mooney fight for me during my difficult case, but years later has proven without a shadow of doubt her commitment to being a figure of strength, support, and with her grand wealth of knowledge of the law, stands firm in her commitment to continue in her endeavor to assist individuals during very difficult times in their lives. I highly recommend Attorney Mooney to anyone who is in need of an attorney knowing with complete confidence that she will work very hard for you to do all she can to have the best possible outcome for her clients.

I am an in-house bank attorney and had a very positive experience with Upton Hatfield in a complex real estate matter. Their expertise in real estate law was evident from the start, and they provided clear, strategic advice throughout the process.
The team was thorough in their analysis and proactive in addressing potential challenges.
Communication was consistent and straightforward. The attorneys and support staff were always accessible and responsive.

Attorney McDonald helped me with a very difficult eviction. The tenants were not moving out even though they had been given two months notice. I worked with Attorney. McDonald and he was very patient when I called him several times for advice. I would recommend him for anyone having difficulty with tenants overstaying their lease. Thank you once again Attorney McDonald.

Jeffrey Adams is completely incompetent. I had a legal issue I requested him to negotiate and he could not pick up the phone to call the other lawyer. Each time he talks to me he said the other lawyer wanted to negiote but he just forgot to call to do it himself. He charge me 7,000 . He was so late to call the other side we had to respond to the claim. Then he charged me 3,000 to write one letter which was nothing I wanted to write. He did not understand the legal ramifications of an scorp. Oh and he sometimes would not return a call for 1 week . Completely incompetent - I say RUN to get another lawyer.

John Dennehy is quick to take your money but terrible at following through on the services you are paying for. I hired him to help me develop contracts for my business. After numerous delays, including a month with literally zero contact, he finally delivered plain unaltered boilerplate contracts. He did not include any of the details or clauses I had requested, and in fact left in quite a bit of junk that does not apply to my business.
This was a huge waste of my money.

My experience with Mr Murphy was not a good one. I engaged Mr Murphy in August 2022 it took until the end of November to produce a half page “demand letter “ that that had no reply date and no return receipt. I found out in January 2023 that the other party denied receiving any contact. When questioned about this, Mr Murphy resigned. He sent me an email stating he could not represent me due to “communication issues.” An honorable man would have returned all fees for non-performance.

Having spent several years working at the largest law firm North of Boston, I feel fortunate to have Ken Murphy as my attorney for both business and family law. Ken is a gifted, brilliant attorney who is responsive, knowledgeable, respected and overall - an exemplary attorney. Ken has assisted me with a myriad of legal issues - from business related issues to most recently - a tragic family accident. When Ken learned of my family members tragic accident - he reached out to me and offered guidance while I was out of state. His recommendations and support at a time of personal crisis - something I will never forget. The advice he provided - impactful and more than I could have asked for. Again, during this time of crisis, I feel fortunate to have Ken on my team!
As a businesswoman and owner of small agency - and Seacoast resident for 23 years - I am constantly communicating and interacting with people all day long. If a professional colleague or peer should bring up a legal challenge or crisis - Ken is always my referral and go to guy. Professionally, he has "come to the rescue" of many friends who might not have sought legal help or have received the legal service or advice they deserved. He is compassionate and always available. It is clear that Ken loves what he does. He has gone above and beyond what is expected of an attorney - he delivers winning results and always puts the best interest of his clients first. Again, I feel blessed to have Ken Murphy as my attorney.

Rebecca wasted my time and money. Her performance in court showed her inability to question and cross examine a witness. She did not challenge any testimony and was unable to ask questions in a timely manner. She often seemed confused as to how to proceed. On one occasion she failed to bring paperwork to a mediation meeting explaining she had forgotten them in her office. I was not sent copies of any discovery information. Overall poor performance.

I spoke with Ms, Sapienza on October 10, 2017 regarding obtaining support documents for claims she/client has made in a land ownership dispute. When I asked her only for data/facts concerning the case and not letter and emails which were hearsay she hung the phone on me,
I would think a good lawyer would want to settle this out of court or be willing to support her outrages claims. But thats me. Buy Beware.

Did not give my family attorney the discovery we asked for previously, prior to trial. Then told just when asked that my family attorney did not ask for it although we had emails to prove otherwise. A grievance report was filed. So fairness was not easily granted from him to my family attorney but it will be handled by authorities of such grievances

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.
