We recently worked with Gwen on the purchase of our new home, as well as several months prior to that on other homes that we had gotten through various stages of the home-buying process, and I cannot recommend her and her team enough. Gwen was kind, knowledgeable, professional, and went way more than above and beyond to make sure we closed on time. Gwen and Claudia were a pleasure to work with, and advocated for us every step of the way, often beyond the requirements of their roles to ensure a successful transaction. I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you, Olinski Law!!

It is a great experience and a delight to work with Mr. Weber. He is very knowledgable and kindly responded to all our questions. Being first-time home buyers we were pretty nervous of not being duped. Mr. Weber's confidence in dealing with the seller's attorney and helping us understand the legal terminology to make an educated decision helped alleviate all our worries. Highly recommend this law firm.

Lana is an excellent real estate attorney. I did a lot of research to find her and it was worth it. Lana helped me buy my first house. She was incredibly helpful, explaining all the details (and there are A LOT of details), and never dismissed any of my concerns - and I had a lot of questions. She is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Lana to anyone looking to purchase a home. You need a good attorney when you buy a house and Lana is the best. She is very knowledgeable and prepped me on what to expect every step of the way from dealing with real estate agents on both sides of the table to what I should be saying to the people at city hall. Even though the sellers did not have their act together and created multiple delays and complications throughout the process, Lana kept things on track and moving along smoothly on my end. If you are looking for a real estate attorney in New Jersey you should definitely contact her, she is great and her rates are affordable as well.

We are first time home buyer and looking for attorney to process Attorney Review in short time so that we can secure the house. We tried couple of attorneys. But, they are taking long time to start the process. Then, my friend referred Pragati Dubal to us and she was very attentive and started AR process for house within hours and we are able to get hold on the house. From the beginning of the process till closing, she was very much involved in the process by paying attention to minute details and used to advise us time to time well in advance about the correct process and things to be done. In one word, I can tell that her devotion to work, paying attention to clients needs, discipline and ethics in the approach helping the people like me to able to achieve our goals successfully.

I had the pleasure of working with Pete during a particularly challenging home purchase, involving the assumption of a mortgage from a family member living overseas. The intricate details, coupled with tight deadlines around the holiday season, seemed like an insurmountable task. However, Pete's expertise and unwavering commitment shone through every step of the way. Pete's ability to seamlessly coordinate with banks, title companies, and us, his clients, was nothing short of remarkable. His support and knowledge were invaluable throughout the process, turning what could have been a daunting experience into a smooth and successful journey to homeownership. Thank you, Pete, for your outstanding work, dedication, and for making the seemingly impossible, possible. Your legal prowess and genuine commitment to your clients truly set you apart.

When we bought our house in Piscataway 13 years ago, Peter Balsamo was the sellers attorney. Even being on the opposing side of the table then, the negotiations went smoothly, imo due to the experience and expertise of the attorneys. We were very impressed with Peter then so when we needed a new attorney to represent us in our house sale this year (our former attorney had since passed away), we immediately thought of Peter and contacted him. He is extremely knowledgeable, highly professional, and at the same time, very down to earth and matter of fact in communicating. Peter is very easy to talk to, treated us with utmost respect, and responded promptly to all our questions and clarification requests (and I had quite a few). If you are embarking on a real estate transaction journey, go with Peter Balsamo - he will get you through to close as uneventfully as possible.

He was attentive to details, QUICK to respond, extremely professional, offered creative solutions for signing documents due to covid. He was always thinking ahead in terms of structuring and responding to the other side. I have my masters in RE finance and have worked on many commercial real estate closings: trust me Peter is the cream of the crop. Also notable - we found Peter by asking a attorney friend who he used for his own Mom’s house sale. .

I have been very happy with Mr. Cherry's paralegal Sylvia. I recently hired Mr. Cherry for selling my parents' house. Sylvia fielded all my questions. She got all of the paperwork together promptly. She knew about the closing out the home equity loan and ensured that the bank was involved. And on top of that Sylvia is personable. Mr. Cherry also found issues with my contract and corrected them. He was able to represent me at closing. The buyers wanted a concession, but Mr. Cherry negotiated it away. I have bought two houses before. I have sold a house before.

Jim recently helped sell our townhouse in Central NJ, and he provided top-notch service. One big issue that we were initially unsure about was how to go about the sale while living outside the US, but Jim provided us with the guidance to put our minds at ease and helped us navigate the entire transaction remotely! He was on top of various contractual obligations and sent us timely reminders when something was due from us. He was very prompt in responding to our numerous emails and phone calls throughout the process -- while gathering the initial documents, communicating with the buyer's attorney regarding various repairs and fixes, putting stuff together for the closing, and everything in between. It was very reassuring to have Jim represent us, and we absolutely recommend his services for real estate needs.

One of the best decisions of my life was to have hired the lawyer Vaisman to take my bankruptcy case, he is a person who has shown me that he can be trusted and answered all my questions without hesitation. I also love the way he takes the case and the follow-up of everything. In addition to all that he knows about the subject, another point that was very important to me is the patience he had to understand me and I say it with respect to the language since Spanish is my first language, he always made sure that we understood each other and not only that, when my case has been resolved, he also made sure to explain and teach us how to raise the credit again. And not only that in addition to being the best lawyer specialized in this issue, it is also the most economical we have found, since the other lawyers I have contacted charged me twice and did not guarantee me anything since my case was very complex, but not for Mr. Vaisman. Please know that I don't usually leave reviews but in this case I must do it since this lawyer has earned it. Thank you very much for your excellent work and service Mr. Vaisman you have definitely earned another loyal customers and will definitely recommend you for now on. ======================================================== Unas de las mejores decisiones de mi vida fue haber contratado al abogado Vaisman para que llevara mi caso de bancarrota, es una persona que me ha demostrado que se puede confiar en el, que cualquier duda que uno tenga el la va a responder sin ningun problema. Tambien me encanto la manera que llevo el caso y el seguimiento de todo. Ademas de todo lo que el sabe sobre el tema otro punto que me parecio MUY importante es la paciencia que el tuvo para entender a uno y lo digo con respecto al idioma ya que el espanol es mi primer idioma, el siempre se aseguro que nos entendieramos y no solo eso, cuando el caso mio se ha resuelto tambien se aseguro de explicarnos y ensenarnos como volver a subir el credito. Y no solo eso ademas de ser el mejor abogado especializado en este tema tambien es el mas economico que hemos encontrado, ya que los otros abogados que he contactado me cobraban muchisimo mas y no me garantizaban nada ya que mi caso era muy complejo, pero no para Mr. Vaisman. Quiero que sepan que no soy de dejar reviews pero en este caso debi hacerlo ya que este abogado se lo ha ganado.

Hired Mr Schutz to represent me in Hopewell Twp NJ traffic court for going 84 in a 50. I was hoping to get it reduced to a two point violation. I pled guilty to non point violation and subsequently saved thousands on insurance. Subsequently I gave him all my business except divorce and lawsuit from Chabad of Hunterdon. Unfortunately he did not want that job, because he quoted us many multiples of his usual fee. Schutz would have won since testimony seemed to indicate in my opinion the only witness misrepresented material facts. Takes a Rabbi to beat a Rabbi. Matthew, please handle the appeal.

Joe and his firm helped me in a way that I can’t explain. My divorce was very complicated and the very specific agreement that was drawn up by Joe and his team was executed perfectly. Throughout the process they were very personable, responsible, attentive, and specific in all aspects of my case. Everything from start to finish, although at times, were drawn out, were done to perfection. They protected me, my finances, and my children's future. I have already recommended them to coworkers and clients and will continue to do so as long as I know they are in practice. They took a very negative situation and time in my life and made it go as smoothly as possible. This reduced my stress level allowed me to focus on my own clients and profession as we went through the process together. I can’t thank them enough for their help!

Meeting Debbie provided a most secure and supportive environment. We asked Debbie to evaluate our Family Trust. Once Debbie explained certain aspects that needed to be addressed, we retained her services immediately. Debbie is the attorney that makes you feel safe & secure. We had Debbie do an entire Estate Planning Review on our behalf and she pointed out several items that needed to be altered that could have created issues later on. We would recommend the services of Debbie Pico to anyone that wants the most understanding individual that provides the most professional and caring services. Jaimi & Allan Yallof

Deborah is a wonderful attorney. It was my second time asking for her help with the documents when selling the house. She is the best in the industry and go extra mile explaining everything in details. She responds immediately, no email or question ever left unanswered. I felt heard, important and protected. It’s so rare nowadays. I would be happy to use her service again when I decide to buy a house and when my family will be back to Jersey.

My wife and I collaborated with Jenny on our first property in Jersey City! We had really great experience with Jenny. She is professional and patient, and has played the critical role in pushing forward our case to closing. Our property had very complicated situations. It is a multi family and has multiple tenants that need to deal with. In addition, it had back and forth discussion and negotiation with sellers for inspection and title! Jenny coordinated the communication with sellers attorney pretty well and drove the process moving forward smoothly. Jenny is knowledgeable about everything in real estate transaction. She explained us every details and things need to be paid attention on in each stage of the transaction! My case won’t be closed that smoothly without Jenny! Highly recommended!

I contacted Mr Champagne, concerning my immigrational issues. I needed a waiver from all the vaccines including covid19 . These were requirements for my green card application. I was told by three receptionist in different immigration clinics i called that , there was no way i could get a green card without getting vaccinated. He did the waiver together with my other documents and posted them on September 23 . I received my green card just three weeks after that. He is very outstanding. I strongly recommend him to everyone who need a professional experience with a touch of class.

I was living in California, and I found Stacey Wolfe via a Google search. To my surprise, she answered the call herself. I'd been led to believe I would need an attorney's services to get out of a purchase agreement I had signed for a mobile home in New Jersey (where I'm originally from). Well, within a few minutes my problem was solved. Turns out all I had to do was to write a short email, and Stacey told me exactly what to write. With just a few freely-given words, she had saved me a lot of time and money. And she didn't even know who I was yet! The informal conversation gravitated to the area in New Jersey I was then considering moving to, and Stacey freely shared enough information with me about that specific area to help me realize I would not be happy living there. Again, Stacey had saved me a lot of time and money. She saved me from making a major life mistake. And I wasn’t even a client or “on the clock” yet! I've since consulted with Stacey on other matters including estate and property-ownership related issues after the passing of my mother, and again I benefited greatly from her insight and advice. So what else can I say? Stacey's knowledge, insight, and experience are beyond impressive, and her honesty, sincerity, and caring are beyond question. First and foremost, it is clear that Stacey Wolfe truly has her client's best interests at heart. And she is one of the nicest, kindest people you could ever hope to meet. I could go on and on but I'll just wind this down by saying that Stacey Wolfe is a true Godsend, I trust her implicitly, and I recommend her wholeheartedly.

We hired Ms. Wolfe after a referral from a friend to handle the legal work surrounding the sale and purchase of a home. Throughout the process Stacey was always at least two steps ahead of the other attorney's and real estate sales staff. Every step was handle efficiently with clearly explanation of the reason and corresponding next step. She was always available by phone and email, needed transactions were handled simply and cleanly with electronic signatures whenever possible. During the closing process for the sale of our home we had a unique issues regarding our survey- and her understanding of the law and local planning created a clear path for resolution. After our experience with Stacey Wolfe, she has become our family attorney handling our wills and estate planning, and any other issue that may impact our family. I strongly recommend her work, style, and ability to focus on our interests. Thank you.

Michael Nolan represented me when the Office of Administrative Law REVERSED their determination on the RREM grant I had already received and used to rebuild my home. Right from the beginning of the process Mr. Nolan took my case seriously and worked very hard to help me prove that I was truly eligible. He was knowledgeable, organized, professional and compassionate. He explained my possible outcomes and did not make any promises. He worked very hard on my behalf and the case was settled in my favor. I feel very lucky to have had such a terrific attorney on my side.

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:

  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.
