Our family sought out Russo Law Group to assist us with elder law/estate planning for my mother. We worked directly with Katie Ann Trotta, Esq who was so helpful and informative and really made us feel comfortable throughout the whole process. She is extremely knowledgeable and helped guide us toward the best plan for my mother. Katie Ann is also readily available to answer any questions we have. I would definitely recommend the Russo Law Group and Katie Ann Trotta, Esq. to anyone looking for an attorney to assist with elder law/estate planning.

Intellectual Property law is a highly specialized area of practice and Sean and his team are great to work with!
They walked us through every step of the patent application process and explained everything along the way. We were so pleased with the interaction and service we’ve also hired Sean to handle a trademark filing.
I highly recommend Sean and Shore IP for all your patent, trademark, and copyright needs.

I reached out to Attorney Jordan's Office and left a Message. She soon returned my just to let me know that she wasn't able to help me with recovering a Judgment. But, what she did do was advised me of some resources that would allow me to get the help I needed. She spoke to me for close to 1 hour about my issue, and although I offered to pay her ...she instead told me what she would do and suggested that I follow up on my own. I have never experienced an Attorney turning down money...I was given direction, complete with numbers to resources that will assist in handling my needs..
She will be my attorney for my elderly legal needs. Attorney Jordan will be the first Attorney I will consider for all NYC real estate needs as well.
Thank You Attorney Tamara Jordan!

David Rubel helped me as a tenant in a dispute with my landlord. He handled the situation with a calm but firm demeanor which I believe is what ultimately helped to settle the issue- he didn’t go in guns blazing and make the situation worse. Not only was he knowledgeable in matters of the law but he was also able to read the room and communicate effectively with my landlord. I wish I had hired him sooner!

Mr. Glassman is a wonderful attorney. He handled my car accident case and made the entire process easy for me. It was very stressful and I sustained painful soft tissue injuries. Mr. Glassman fought for me every step of the way and got me a fair settlement. In addition, he was helpful and answered every question I had along the way. All while being kind, patient and determined to do what was best for me. I could not possibly recommend Mr. Glassman any more highly.

Michael Shilinski is a very helpful and knowledgeable person to help people make the tough decisions about what to do about making those hard choices that are involved with writing your will. As a young couple, we felt he was helpful and not pushy at all. We later sent older family members to him and they had equally wonderful experiences. Recently, when my father in law passed, he was so responsive via email getting us the forms we needed electronically within 15 minutes. I highly recommend him to young and older adults, as well as individuals looking to make sure that their wishes are fulfilled. And an added perk…he loves the Dave Matthews Band!!

We had a wonderful experience updating our estate plans, working with Michael Shilinski. He helped us complete this process in a timely manner, with professionalism and warmth. We made some changes and he provided the perfect balance of "big picture thinking" and being detail oriented. Always, the focus was on serving our needs and providing us the peace of mind that these important documents would cover what we needed to cover. He goes the extra mile, asked us to consider things that we wouldn't have thought of without his expertise, and was a pleasure to work with. Highest recommendation!

My experience with Zackary Meyer was incredible. He made me feel comfortable in explaining my litigation matter that had been going on for over 5 years. You can’t imagine the frustration I’ve been dealing with for that long period of time. I explained my side of the story as he reviewed my case and he understood exactly what was going on and agreed to take my case. He also explained to me he didn’t offer any promises or guarantee on the outcome but he said he would do his very best.
When this firm offers to do their best “look out” because that is exactly what you will get. On my trial date at court, I thought I would be nervous but I wasn’t because a very polite young man by the named Ali Jaffery partner of Zackery Meyers Firm attended. He presented the facts in a very dignified manner. The facts were proven for this trail and the lawsuit against me were dismissed at its entirety. I am so grateful for this firm. If you are ever in need for a law firm that gives a client 100%, I highly recommend Sutton Sacks and Meyers. The expertise of this firm is one that I am so grateful for and will be long lived.
Again, Kudos to Zackary Meyer and Ali Jaffery.

I got my greencard as short as 7 months and we didn’t even go through interview process. He is so professional and knows what he is doing. You can always reach out to him very easily. So grateful to work with him after hearing all this bad stories from other people. You won’t regret to work with him I can tell you that. Definitely highly recommended!!! Thank you for everything David!

I'm so grateful to her and her team. Highly recommend to anyone who needs professional immigration services.

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the outstanding assistance provided by Peter, our real estate attorney. His unwavering commitment and expertise have left an indelible mark, and I feel compelled to share my experience.
Peter recommended a banker who secured a good interest rate for our mortgage. This financial advantage will significantly impact our monthly payments, and we are genuinely thankful.
His negotiation skills and dedication to finding the best terms were evident throughout the process.
Peter’s guidance extended beyond legal matters. He recommended a homeowner insurance company that streamlined the process.
We felt confident knowing that Peter was handling every aspect with care, ensuring a smooth and timely closing.
Peter’s deep understanding of real estate transactions and unwavering professionalism set him apart. We never doubted that we were in capable hands.
His attention to detail and responsiveness made the entire experience stress-free.
We wholeheartedly recommend Peter to anyone seeking a real estate attorney. His commitment to excellence and client satisfaction is commendable.
We will gladly share our positive experience with friends, family, and colleagues. Peter is a true asset in his field.
Thank you, Peter, for going above and beyond. Your dedication has made this milestone in our lives memorable and worry-free. We look forward to any future opportunities to work with you.

My partner and I hired Peter to represent us in buying a home in NYC from out-of-state in advance of a move for my partner's job. It was stressful learning about the NYC real estate process until we started working with Peter. He really helpful in explaining the process and orienting us to the idiosyncrasies of NYC real estate law. As an attorney myself, but with no knowledge of real estate law, I really appreciated Peter's commitment to advising and counseling us! He is also responsive, knowledgable, and very on top of it. Highly recommend working with him! (This was my first time buying a home and I found him especially helpful and calming to work with).

I recently worked with Peter to close on a new development condo in Long Island City.
Peter was extremely responsive, friendly, and most importantly, knowledgeable. He walked me through every aspect of the process and was always happy to answer any questions I had (and trust me, I had a lot). He was great at explaining complicated topics in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.
I think I would have pulled my hair out without Peter, will definitely be looking to work with him again on any future deals and will not hesitate to recommend him to friends/family

It was my first time purchasing a property and she was very patient, answered all my questions and kept me updated and informed during the entire process. I reccomended her to my parents as well. They used her for the purchase of their own co-op and they had the same experience as I did. She makes you feel very comfortable and at ease during, what can be a very stressful time. If I make another real-estate purchase I'll use her legal services again for sure.

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.

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.
