I want to tell the world that there are to few individuals that would help someone at a short notice. My sister-in-law was in a In a bit of a bind in which she needed a lawyer. It was the weekend and I was looking for one on Google. I call different law firms but none answer the phone. I saw about Brett M. Rosen, Esq on Google. Plus the reviews and I saw it was 24hours open. On a Saturday I call for some help and advice. Mr. Rosen was so polite and so understanding. He help by telling the laws to my case and explaining the situation. So that I could better understand what my sister-in-law was going too. He kept in touch even when I was not his client. He did more than other lawyers. I could imagine what he does to his paying clients. Even though my sister-in-law went a different direction. I am telling you this. Mr. Brett M Rosen is a great person. He is Humble and for the people. If I'm ever in a case that require a criminal lawyer ( which I hope I would never be in) I would no doubt hire him.

We just finished doing our Will with Russ. It was a great experience. It’s something that
Most people don’t want to do (including us) but he made the process easy and helped to get us through some of the tough decisions by explaining everything. Would definitely recommend him to others looking for help with this very important process.

Our experience with Drivas Law was nothing short of exceptional. From the outset, Michael Drivas and Jennine Rozany extended the utmost respect and attentiveness towards our unique situation. As first-time homebuyers, we were navigating uncharted waters, but their guidance made the process seamless and reassuring. We wholeheartedly endorse their services to anyone in need of legal expertise, not only because of their exemplary professionalism but also due to their remarkable empathy and understanding. Their support was a pivotal element in our journey to homeownership. Thanks Michael and Jennine!

Brian Hall saved the day when my first home buying experience turned into a lawsuit due to survey issues. Brian prioritized giving my wife and I the best advice and service while minimizing costs to us, something deeply appreciated by a newly wed couple trying to buy a home. Brian always gave sound advice and was persistent, yet fair when dealing with opposing counsel and was professional in all of his actions. Brian won us a settlement that recouped our losses which was hugely important to my wife and I was we bought a new home. I can’t recommend Brian enough. He is a class act, a skilled litigator, and cares deeply for his clients. I hope to never need a real estate attorney again, but if I do, Brian Hall is the only way to go. Thanks, Brian! Go Air Force, Beat Army/Coast Guard!

I would first like to say thank you to everyone apart of the law firm for helping me. Greg Jones was the attorney who handled my case initially who was great! However, Jack stepped in and finished the job which was work related. I just want to say “Jack is the man” he is very professional, very knowledgeable, and will take good care of you. I highly recommend.

Jack Arseneault might very well be one of the best attorneys in the USA, however he is by far a much better person then he is an attorney.
He has been my attorney for over 25 years and not only has his counseling been amazing, but his care for the well being of myself and my family has gone and continues to go above what anyone would expect from their attorney.
Jack ALWAYS put my needs and my families needs before his own and advised based on what was best for us as opposed to what would make him the most money.
Aside from my wife, Jack may very well be the only person in my life that I truly trust and I am honored and privileged to not only call him my attorney, but more importantly one of my best friends.

Unfortunately, I sustained personal injuries from a pedestrian hit and run; however I was fortunate enough to have been recommended to work with Michael P. Burakoff. He was very diligent to explain in detail everything to me to make sure I understood what was going on every step of the way. Even though I know he has a busy schedule, the way he took his time with each meeting and phone call made you feel as if you were his only client. The way Michael listens with such compassion truly makes you feel like he is on your team. His legal secretary, Sandra Griego was fantastic to work with as well. Both Michael and Sandra are extremely quick to respond, on top of their game and so organized which is definitely crucial for any case. While I hope to not sustain any injuries in the future, it is without doubt that I will work with Micheal and his team again without hesitation. You will be in great hands!

Unfortunately my husband was hurt while on duty (police officer) but we were fortunate enough to be represented by Mr. Michael P. Burakoff, he personally handled my husband's case. From the very 1st phone call to his office, his staff were incredibly helpful and listened to all of our inquiries. To our surprise Mr Burakoff returned our phone call quickly and dedicated time, not only to find out all the details to my husband's case, but he was so incredibly patient, professional and compassionate to what was going on with my husband'[s injuries. Mr. Burakoff took a personal interest in the outcome of the case as well as my husband's recovery throughout the process of medical treatment, paperwork and settlement of the case. Mr. Burakoff explained in great detail every step of the way and would call us with updates. Mr. Burakoff and his staff were never too busy to answer any of his calls and/or visits to the office. We have never met such a dedicated and professional attorney, willing to help and continue to be involved in my husband's recovery. Throughout my husband's 18 year career he has met and worked with many attorneys and Mr. Burakoff is the only attorney that we would ever use or recommend. My husband has personally recommended Mr. Burakoff to any officer that has been injured, Mr. Burakoff prides himself in helping police officers or any 1st responders.

Over four years ago I was having a difficult time with the initial firm that was handling my worker's compensation case. A friend recommended the services of Mr. Kendall Medway at Levinson Axelrod and I could not be anymore pleased with the experience of working with Mr. Medway.
Mr. Medway's expertise and persistence is truly something to be admired. He kept me fully informed and up-to-date every step of the way and was immediately available to help with any question or concern that I may have had. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Mr. Medway and Levinson Axelrod.

I got injured at my job in April 2022, after which my employer started treating me unfairly-- the employer didn't even allow me to see an actual doctor until almost a year after the injury occurred. I was misdiagnosed by their urgent care reps and by a therapist who told me I was basically faking the injury and gave me physical therapy exercises that caused me more pain.
I reached out to a number of lawyers who dismissed me, until I came across Mr. Kendall Medway. From the day I walked into his office he reassured me that he would do all that he could to help me. As far as I am aware, he did just that. Mr. Medway led me through the workers compensation process, which took nearly two years. We reached a settlement in February 2024. I am satisfied with the outcome and that I chose Levinson Axelrod for my workers compensation claim.

Tae Cho represented my company for an APA and Lease Agreement, and we cannot say enough great things about our experience! Tae is extremely knowledgable and diligent. It was clear from our first conversation that his priority was to be sure we reached agreements with the sellers/landlords that were truly in our best interests. He was consistently responsive and made sure both my partner and I had a clear understanding of what was included in both agreements. We cannot recommend Tae Cho and Dunn and Lambert enough and will continue to utilize their services for future business matters.

Dunn Lambert has been representing our company since its incorporation in 2006. Richard Lambert and Tae Cho are excellent corporate lawyers who always strive to achieve client specific legal needs and goals.
Most recently, Harlan Cohen represented our company in a very complex civil litigation against a huge multinational corporation represented by one of the biggest US law firms. Mr. Cohen demonstrated utmost expertise in civil procedure and legal research and writing skills. His legal tactics proved very successful and he achieved outstanding results for us.

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.

It's important to clarify the fee structure with your attorney before hiring them to avoid any surprises.

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:

- Experience and location: More experienced lawyers or those in high-demand areas, like urban centers, often charge higher rates.

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.
