Louis was great in representing us during the sake of our family home. This was a very emotional time as my parents purchased the home 56 years ago. Louis made the process easy and was a fierce negotiator! If you’re looking for someone who has their client's back, Louis is your man!

Naeem was incredibly helpful and made the entire process so much easier for me. He went out of his way to negotiate a lower settlement amount, which I really appreciated, and was super responsive when I ran into an issue submitting my payment. He provided clear instructions and followed up quickly, which made everything stress-free.
I’m so grateful for his professionalism and support throughout this process. Thank you so much, Naeem, for everything!

Jace and team helped us avoid a nightmare of a deal while representing us in a real estate transaction. They are thoughtful experts who reply quickly, act professionally, and are kind. Jace takes the time to explain EVERYTHING you need to know in plain English and makes sure you are comfortable at every turn. It is clear that he and the team (shout out to Gloria & Karina) care about their clients, are ever looking out for their best interests, and have deep expertise and experience. We don't often need an attorney, but when we do, we know where we are coming back to!

I cannot recommend Jace enough! As a first-time homebuyer, the whole process was very overwhelming, but Jace and Karina made everything so much easier. From the very beginning, they were attentive, and professional.They walked us through every step, answered all our questions (no matter how small), and ensured that I fully understood everything before moving forward. Their attention to detail and commitment gave me total peace of mind. Jace made the closing process smooth. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and dedicated lawyer for your real estate needs, Jace is the only call to make.

Costa Legal Group helped me tremendously following the loss of my husband. I met with Joe, and while reviewing all of my options he was very kind and understanding regarding all of the questions that I had. His secretary Barbara was also very warm and courteous over the phone when it came to scheduling all of my appointments. I would definitely recommend Costa Legal Group to any individual or family who needs assistance with any legal matters that will prepare them for the future ahead.

I hired Attorney David R Cardamone to handle my divorce, and I couldn't be more satisfied with his services. He was highly experienced in family law and was able to provide me with clear advice every step of the way. David was always available for questions and responded quickly to my emails. Throughout the process, he was compassionate and supportive, which made a tough time easier to navigate. His negotiation skills were exceptional, and he helped me achieve a fair settlement. I appreciated his transparency when it came to billing, and I felt I got great value for my money. Highly recommend!

I was very grateful for the referral to Buchan, Pal & Cardamone, LLC to assist in my parent's case. Kerdesha was by far the most personable, empathetic and professional lawyer we interviewed throughout the process of securing an attorney. This was my parent's first time working with a lawyer in this capacity, so they were unsure of what to expect. The day of the hearing, Kerdesha was present and well-prepared. Aside from her and Kevin's legal handling of the case, I personally felt at ease that Kerdesha was there to support my parents as I live across the country and was unable to provide in-person support myself. She was also kind enough to respond to my check ins and concerns which I also appreciated. I will definitely use them in the future if the need arises.

Stuart Minion did an absolute fantastic job with our Chapter 13 bankruptcy case. We just made our final payment and are so relieved we didn't lose our home. He was clear and concise and explained the process perfectly. He worked with us through the whole process and would recommend him anyone havingto go through this.

I initially sought Stuart Minion’s help with a custody case, and he exceeded all expectations. As this was our first time navigating such a case, Stuart took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the process and provided us with a range of options. His dedication to ensuring a smooth and seamless experience was invaluable.
Because of my positive experience, I referred a friend to Stuart for her divorce case. She also had an excellent experience and felt completely comfortable discussing her private matters with him. Stuart’s approachability and availability to answer any questions or concerns gave her peace of mind throughout the process.
Most recently, I hired Stuart to handle a Chapter 7 case, and once again, his professionalism was evident. He is a lawyer I trust and highly recommend to my friends and family.
I trust Stuart will handle all legal matters with a high level of service and support, and I value his expertise, attentiveness, and professionalism.

I want to thank Mr Stuart and his team for believing in me and tried to help me.

Evan & His team are amazing & definitely passionate about their defense. They listen attentively & respond with compassion and passion. As well as care about the well being of who they are representing with great results. If you ever find yourself in a legal bind call Evan and his team, the peace that I had while dealing with something that could have easily brought me down because not everyone who is charged is guilty, the team was definitely sent from a pure place. Thank you so much to everyone at the office for my freedom, peace of mind, and Joy.

We worked with Rebecca and her team for our home purchase in 2022, and again just this year for the sale of the property. Several members of the team took care of us throughout both transactions, and each person we interfaced with was as helpful and friendly as the last. They made the processes as seamless as they could on their end, and were a pleasure to work with! Very attentive, accommodating, and responsive. They were true advocates for us as both buyers and most recently as sellers, and made it clear that they had our best interests at heart every step of the way. Would definitely recommend their services and would hire again without hesitation!

Please be careful with this firm... I don't know what they actually done.. I sent them info on my case.. and Rich was unprepared for court conference.. the judge was obsenely pissed off. Then I got bills for emails that I don't even know if he made because I received no copies of. My matter closed.. and in one of the bills they charged for review of documentation that was allegedly done after matter already closed in court. Secondly, he agreed to payments.. but drafted my bank account $2060 without my authorization.
I just got an email from them that they made a draft.. I reached out to the billing department not allowing them to do that.. but they did it anyways.
Every attorney has a client portal that they upload any emails, letters etc.. but this firm doesn't... so they just bill client for what could be bogus work that they allegedly done...but client has no proof that they did it..
Also, I had to send repeated emails about a certain thing on my case.. which they wouldn't reply.. sent another email about same thing.. and then finally within a week I would get a response.. so yeah I also got charged for those emails.
Bunch of shady crooks.. we'll see if they send me back the check that I sent them prior to the draft..

Mark McAuliffe shepherded us through the transaction seamlessly and we really appreciate that. The transaction was on an abbreviated timeline and Mark and Linda Kruse kept to that timeline. They navigated the speed bumps that pop up occasionally in a real estate transaction with no stress to us. We give McNerney & McAuliffe the highest possible recommendation!

While in my line of profession, I have the opportunity to work with Big Law firms often, I came to Carmine over a personal matter and found his approach and advice to be no less. Carmine is an expert attorney, consummate professional, maintains highest standards of integrity and ethical behavior. He was very attentive to the issue and had a quick turnaround/response time. He fights for your issue as his own, puts himself in other's shoes and works towards the best possible outcomes. Highly recommended!

All along the lengthy and difficult journey, he was always there for me, easing my worries, standing up for me, and going that extra mile to help me get through the most difficult times of my life.

I can not express enough how grateful I am to have had the pleasure of working with Matthew Rosen, Alex, and Shelby for my restraining order case, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome. From our initial consultation, it was clear that Matthew and his team were highly professional and dedicated. Despite seeing a negative review beforehand, I decided to move forward based on my conversation with his office, and I'm so glad I did. The team was prompt and efficient, managing every detail with expertise. On the day of the court hearing, I barely had to say a word-- Matthew handled everything seamlessly. His professionalism and ability to navigate the legal system made a very stressful and anxiety driven situation much more manageable. I highly recommend Matthew Rosen for anyone in need of legal representation. His skills and dedication are truly impressive! Your client Noi P.

I can't thank Joel enough for his help with the closing of our property. My wife and I are first time home buyers and he helped us navigate through the process practically seamlessly.
If it wasn't for a small issue with our bank the closing would have literally taken 25 minutes. It didn't take much more than that though and I thank Joel for that. For being on top of every aspect of what it took to get the job done. For always answering the phone when I called and if not answering texting me, letting me know he'd get back to me once he was done with another client.
Thank you Joel,

I am a landlord in NJ, However, this is not my main income. I own a luxury condo and I rent it out.
I hired Tom to represent me in a tenant/landlord case. Tom was very professional right from the beginning of our relationship. One of Tom’s best qualities I noticed was his ability to think ahead. It seemed as though throughout the process Tom always had an answer or a response to whatever game my tenant was trying to play. Until ultimately, at the end, the tenant had no more cards left to play and we got what we were looking for.
I don’t know much about the legal system and quite frankly I don’t care to. I own my own successful business. I’m very busy. I am the kind of person who likes to stay in my own lane and let Tom do his job.
If you are looking for an attorney that understands the law inside and out and also makes you feel confident throughout the process that he is in your corner, I suggest you retain Tom Major. I would certainly go to war with him any day of the week.

Thomas and his team represented me in Landlord-Tenant dispute. The entire team is very knowledgeable and responsive. Most of the time Landlord think that they may know enough but there are minor peculiarity that we're likely to miss. Thomas has such in-depth experience and he could think 2 steps ahead. My delinquent tenant tried her best so that I make a mistake but Thomas and his team were by my side and always gave me the right advice and finally my tenant gave in on the day of Eviction.

Our experience working with Jordan Gale and his firm was exceptionally smooth and reassuring, even amidst the complexities of purchasing our first home. Although buying a house is often filled with stress and uncertainty, Jordan excelled at keeping the lines of communication wide open. He consistently provided us with timely updates, clearly outlining what was expected of us and what we could expect in the coming stages of the process.
In hindsight, we can laugh about how frequently we reached out, as the journey turned out to be more intricate than we had initially imagined. Nevertheless, Jordan never faltered; he was always there with thoughtful answers and guidance whenever we needed it. His unwavering support made a significant difference for us. We are incredibly grateful to Jordan and his team for their dedication and professionalism. Thank you once again for making this journey a memorable one!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ben Sharlin and his exceptional team during a real estate transaction for my new home. From start to finish, Ben and his team were incredibly diligent, ensuring that every detail was meticulously handled. They made certain that all the "I's" were dotted and "T's" crossed, giving me peace of mind throughout the process.
What truly stood out was their commitment to protecting my interests. They provided clear and concise advice, ensuring I fully understood every aspect of the transaction. Their negotiation skills were impressive—they successfully secured a significant reduction in pricing, backed by well-researched facts and receipts.
Beyond their professionalism, I found Ben, Elizabeth, Carmen, and the rest of the team to be genuinely kind and approachable. They kept me informed at every step, which made the experience much more comfortable and reassuring.
This was not my first transaction with Ben's law office, and it certainly won’t be my last. Their unwavering support and dedication to their clients make them a standout choice. I wholeheartedly recommend Ben Sharlin and his team for anyone seeking legal representation in real estate transactions. They truly fight for their clients and ensure they get what they deserve!

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.
