Sometimes in this world we come across people who have no business being in their line of profession for one reason or another but Mr Albin is exactly where he should be, in a position to help those less fortunate. He didn't treat me as if I was beneath him but more so as an equal but above that, the level of compassion that this attorney has for people is unmatched, he truly cares about people. After hanging up with this office and finding out that solely due to my geographical location, I didn't qualify for their help, I received a phone call by the same number that I had just called, It was Mr Albin, he informed me that he would try to get special permission to help us tenants all being mass evicted from a local hotel, he didn't get that permission but he gave me his cell phone number and allowed me to call an text him whenever we needed and If I had any questions and of course I did. Mr Albin's help was invaluable and it meant the world to me. Attorney Albin wouldn't just tell me what to do or give me advice but would instead send me related case law which taught me a wealth of information, educating and mentoring me throughout our entire interaction and if he ever reads this, I'm sure he will let me know of any spelling or grammar issues lol. Words cannot express thoroughly enough the admiration I have for this gentleman who helped us when he didn't have to. I'm incredibly thankful to know him. Thank you Attorney Albin, thank you for being you.

Tom is a very competent and thorough lawyer! He looked at my file and went about it in a completely different manner than I had my previous 2 attempts/denials. He knew exactly what was needed to win my case, and he knew exactly what the judge wanted to hear. Tom also is very professional and personal, he will make you feel very at ease. He walked me through the hearing making me feel very comfortable and not so humiliated! We together covered every aspect of my situations through the hearing and when it was over, I was very confident that we had won the case. Which is exactly what happened.
If you have filed for disability and were denied then Tom is your man! He will turn your case into a winning case!
I can not Thank Tom enough!
Thank you Tom, for everything!

Attorney Yona Gregory was appointed as financial conservator of my step mother. Given the circumstances of my step mothers situation it is my opinion it would be a difficult case for any attorney. Not only did Yona maintain my step mothers best interests at all times she was always very professional, courteous and kind. With that being said I also retained Yona to handle my step mothers estate upon her passing. She continues to have a very dedicated work ethic. If anything arises in the future I would not hesitate to seek her services again.

Attorney Donohue provided my wife and I services for the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our new home. The sale of the previous home was a standard transaction. The purchase of the new home was complicated to say the least. Attorney Donohue was able to clearly layout all of our options at each decision point throughout the process and we were able to complete the purchase of the home of our dreams. I attribute the positive outcome completely to attorney Donohue's ability and expertise.
I would highly recommend attorney Donohue for all matters, simple, complicated or anywhere in between.

Mrs.Moore is a straight beast. She went hard for me in the court room on a child custody case. I was looking at TPR and now I have a chance to bring my daughter home. She is very knowledgeable of the law, professional and understanding. She gains insight and applies it in the court room to her clients advantage. She keeps great communication and she fights for you and she fights hard. She is by far the best lawyer I’ve ever used. She doesn’t judge you and she gives you advice to help you. She comes into court very presentable and shuts every other lawyer down with her tactics. She is an absolute savage in the courtroom and knows her stuff!!

Attorney Moore is the best Attorney I have ever had. She is so professional and she really gets to know about the client. She is so knowledgeable, our first case went from me owing money, to getting paid by the party that wanted to sue me.
She is without a doubt, the most principled Attorney I have ever dealt with.

Ray was wonderful when I had to file for bankruptcy. He made sure I understood what would happen along the way. He fought for me and I felt he really had a stake in protecting me from creditors. I was able to start fresh and get on with my life. I have recommended him to friends and co-workers with similar problems.

I was referred to Mike by another attorney, that was not able to help me. Not only did he contact me in a matter of minutes, he took the time to consult with me, and gave me advice, for over half an hour, even though my case was too small for his firm to take on. I would absolutely recommend him!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Attorney Eric Garofano regarding my recent car accident. I couldn't be happier with the results. I wanted an expert to deal with the
insurance issues and Eric stepped in and took care of everything. His knowledge and expertise were evident from the start. He communicated all of the aspects of my claim to me and guided me through every step of the process.
I received a settlement that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Eric to anyone needing a skilled and reliable attorney, especially when dealing with insurance companies. He truly went above and beyond for me.

I would highly recommend this firm. Doctors thought I had a life altering injury, which luckily healed much better than expected. Even though my case turned out to be much less valuable than anticipated, Attorney Garofano treated me with the same priority and professionalism, and he got me a fair settlement. He demonstrated consistent character and integrity through the entire process and made it easy on me.

Nancy graciously gave me her time to discuss my concerns on an immigration matter and offered guidance to help me feel more confident in proceeding with next steps. She gave me a few alternatives on how she could help, to allow me choose which would work best for me, if needed. I felt immediately comfortable with her, which I feel is critical when dealing with stressful legal matters. I highly recommend Nancy for how easy it is to talk with her and for her willingness to help, not to mention her many years of experience.

Hired for an estate matter and learned that she isnNot knowledgeable in estate matters. Unresponsive: does not return phone calls. Appears to be more concerned with not offending other lawyers than with advocating for her clients. Terrible experience!

Absolutely the worst experience I have ever experienced ! Doesn't represent his clients interest, just his own. He actually raised his voice and screamed at my girlfriend over the phone , repeatedly spoke down to her as if she wasn't an intelligent person ( she has a masters degree) she called after the closing about a month ago and has called and sent emails and he still hasn't attempted to show any type of professionalism by returning her calls!! Really?? (It's been about a month) and for this terrible service that she paid $895 fee and the going rate in the area is $495 he still has not responded ! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND STAY CLEAR OF THE ARROGANT ATTOURNEY !!

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.
