I have been dealing with this law firm for two years and it felt like I have been knowing Megan Kiefer and Chris Shorts for 20 years. Not only did they help me with my case but I feel like we connected. Every step and every I that needed to be dotted, I was called and informed about it. They were patient with me and I was patient with them. When my case came to an end, after 2 yrs, I really didn’t want it to end because I knew I would not have the opportunity to talk to these very nice, helpful, and caring people at Kiefer & Kiefer. They went over and beyond when I to give up. Those 2 yrs paid off really well. I haven’t been in a financial space like this in 42 years. Thanks to Kiefer & Kiefer. I would recommend any and all accidents and what ever cases they handle to this law firm. The first time I met Megan, it was like I have known her for years. Everyone connected to this law firm was friendly, kind, and courteous. This is a law firm where I felt comfortable the minute I walked off the elevator.Kiefer & Kiefer is the place to be for your accident relief.

Tom and his staff were fantastic. Everything was very professional and Tom is a really comforting person in general. My accident brought me a lot of grief while my disabled daughter was having trouble and my mother was dying. Tom And the staff adapted to everything.. I got a good settlement that doesn’t take away the pain from everything and the surgeries but certainly helped. I highly recommend Tom and the Schlossman firm.

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Marriott regarding removing an existing mortgage on a home that my client acquired through a quit-claim deed. Mr. Marriott was attentive to my client's needs, dissolved that mortgage that clouded my client's title, and helped my client reach their financial needs by using the equity in the home to help his family thrive. My hat is off to this gentleman; I cannot thank you enough!!

Joe loves real estate transactions and real estate law; and when someone loves what they do, it shows. We hired Joe to help us close on our first home - a slightly nervous situation - and Joe's confidence and commitment to doing things right the first time was like cool water. We'll hire Joe again.

I met Mr. Siddiqui in January 2020 and we worked together over the next 20 months on two separate litigations. One litigation was for an unpaid wage dispute and the other a tort interference claim.
When I started searching for legal representation I had no idea what to look for. All I can say is I was very lucky to connect with him and choose him to represent me. He is very organized and has a calming and confident demeanor. His knowledge of the courts and laws made navigating the complex processes of civil litigation straightforward. The process was very stressful and frustrating, but with his guidance and wisdom we settled both matters successfully. I would highly recommend Mr. Siddiqui to any individual looking for counsel in his field.

Imtiaz Siddiqui represented me in a civil lawsuit from 2018-2020. I hired him a year and a half into a complex business dispute, and he immediately worked through a holiday weekend to prepare a motion on a tight timeline. Over the next two years, Mr. Siddiqui demonstrated the breadth of his legal knowledge and expertise in both the trial court and the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals. His attention to detail and creative problem solving brought new ideas to the table and turned the case around in my favor. He presented all of my options and explained legal processes clearly every step of the way. He is professional, responsive, and his independent practice allows him to keep his fees reasonable, which demonstrates that he has compassion for people and strives to make the legal process accessible. I highly recommend Mr. Siddiqui to anyone looking for a smart, passionate, and talented attorney.

While in Louisiana I worked at an asbestos litigation firm, and after Katrina, I started my own practice in the same area. I am now retired. Recently I had the opportunity to work with Imtiaz Siddiqui on a matter personal to me. He came highly recommended by two associates.
I worked with Imtiaz Siddiqui on my case from inception to conclusion and I was impressed with his legal and negotiating skills. As with any client, communication was important to me and Mr. Siddiqui consulted with me and answered all my questions. I could count on him to answer the phone, return my calls and emails. He was conscientious and kept all dates and deadlines be it a hearing or due date on a filing or brief.
Candor and professionalism are important to me and Imtiaz demonstrated this in his dealings with the opposing counsel and the court. I highly recommend Imtiaz Siddiqui.

We've worked with Ms. Sherman on several projects, including negotiation and permitting, and have always found her to be communicative, reliable, and completely invested in our interests. She is extremely detail-oriented and capable of picking apart a contract better than any lawyer we've ever worked with, as we discovered when we were involved in a potentially disastrous Real Estate deal.
In our experience, Ms. Sherman's manner is approachable and empathetic when we are in conference and tough and persistent during negotiation, but she also has an innate ability to charm and bring the temperature in the room down when things get heated.
When we needed to navigate City Hall and apply for the liquor license for our restaurant, Ms. Sherman helped us to successfully navigate a complex and somewhat obtuse and frustrating process.
Ms. Sherman is not afraid to tackle a job which includes aspects that fall outside of her usual sphere of experience and has a vast network of colleagues to consult with when a question arises that she needs clarified. We enjoyed working with her very much and consider her a vital part of our "team" and an invaluable resource.

Ms. Sherman was very knowledgeable and informative of the problems I had been having with a certain situation. She took the time to explain to me the actions that needed to be taken in resolving my issues. She was very prompt in returning phone calls to any questions I may have had. She got the job done as painlessly as possible and was very reasonably priced. Awesome job! I would definitely recommend Ms. Sherman to anyone looking for a great attorney! If I ever need someone to handle any legal matter in the future, she is top on my list.

My business had a matter that required navigating processes at both the City and State level. She was effective in her representation, had the knowledge we needed to get quick results and I could see the tremendous respect that people had for her. Mrs. Terrell and her associates helped me get through both zoning and licensing matters easily. She even attended meetings on my behalf when I was traveling and I had no hesitancy to have her speak on my behalf. Her law group seems to have a great deal of experience in litigation as well as business and their work is thorough. I never felt like Mrs. Terrell or her associates will billing just for the sake of billing and I have seen that before !

I needed a lawyer to defend me when I really didn’t know what to do. Szeto Law Firm rescued me from a series of struggles. After Hurricane Katrina destruction, I began to rebuild through the Road Home program. I was unsuccessful because of contractor fraud. After providing all of the documentation to prove what happened, Road Home filed a lawsuit against me. Thankfully I found Szeto Law Firm to see me through the problems the lawsuit caused. I can now continue efforts to rebuild & return to my home in New Orleans.

After my previous attorney relationship, I am glad I made the decision to move my case to the King Firm and Jason Giles. From the minute he took the case, him and his office staff made all the difference. I was previously with another attorney for my car accident and did not receive the attention or satisfaction that I deserved. After telling a friend, they recommended I go meet with Jason Giles. From the moment I walked into the office, I felt a world of difference. Warmly greeted with cookies in the conference room, Jason Giles was a different attorney. I could sense the office presence as well as his sincere desire to help me with my case. After a previous attorney let it "sit" for 9 months, Jason had me a fair settlement within 3. I highly recommend Jason Giles and his firm for any personal injury cases. At the end of the day, it's hard to find someone who loves what they do, but even more, loves to genuinely help others in a bad situation. Jason Giles has these qualities and for those reasons alone I would never go anywhere else. Good people do good things. Thank you!!!!

I chose Cosse Law Firm based on a recommendation and after having a consult. Chip Cosse had initial discussions with me and scheduled doctors and physical therapy appointments to address my injuries. Attorney Alex Dimitry was assigned to my case. We spoke on the phone, and he gathered all of the information he needed from me and answered all of the questions I had. His goal was to get me as healthy as possible, gather the facts of my case, and have me fairly compensated. He anticipated every aspect of my case and hired the proper professionals to assess my vehicle computer and recreate the accident to show that the driver that struck me from the rear should have been able to avoid the collision. He was with me at my deposition and ensured that it was conducted in a professional manner. After my surgery and deposition he followed up with me in regards to my recovery and to explain any developments with my case. I believe I was fairly compensated as a result of Alex's hard work and attention to detail. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

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.
