10/10. Although my case was lengthy (for reasons outside of the attorney’s control) Fapojuwo Law made this experience considerably smooth for me. Josiah Fapojuwo is an intelligently, knowledgeable and well experienced attorney. I was recommended to him by a peer and I will further recommend his office to whomever in need. I’m confident that he will always go above and beyond. Thank you for everything!

I called in to discuss a legal matter and was actually contacted back by an attorney who offered me advice. I feel like this often is not the case. He was very precise and I was very grateful for the time he took out of his day to address my concern!

I had the opportunity one day to speak to Richard in passing. Not knowing that Richard was a divorce lawyer, I asked if he knew a divorce lawyer. Richard informed me that he was in fact a divorce lawyer. After a brief conversation, I hired Richard to handle my divorce. Richard was thorough in explaining the divorce procedure as well as mine and my soon to be ex wife's roll in these procedures. Richard was timely in returning my calls or emails. As well as taking the time to address each of my questions and making sure I fully understood the response.
Richard made this stressful process as easy as possible. I would recommend Richard to anyone needing this service.

There is not enough time to say how amazing and fantastic Christina Collier is! From the first day on she impressed me with how calm, knowledgeable, supportive, and extremely smart she is. If you ever need a lawyer there is no where else I would trust. Speechless on how professional she is. She was in my corner and made sure me and my rights were protected and felt safe. I can't thank her enough for all she has done, which is above and beyond!

I had the pleasure of working with this amazing team, a group of top-notch professionals who consistently deliver high-quality work. Their firm blends the efficiency of a larger organization with the welcoming atmosphere of a smaller one. Maria is a joy to work with—always responsive and proactive with such a cheerful and helpful disposition. Katie, the lead attorney on our file, has a sharp eye for detail and a solutions-oriented mindset, handling everything promptly and precisely. I was particularly impressed with their customer service; I never had to deal with voicemail or wait more than five minutes for a response. The front desk staff is outstanding too! Katie even took time out of her busy schedule to personally address our requests and was readily available by phone for any questions. I highly recommend this team!

After working with several real estate lawyers, I highly recommend this firm. For me, they are the best.

I have been pleased with Jessica Walter's services thus far in handling my son's custody case. She seems thorough, looks for every angle she can, and has many years working with the judge overseeing our case.
Get ready to pay though. Half of my retainer deposit was depleted before the case was even seen! That's mostly just because there's a lot of prep and foot work involved though.
At no fault of hers, the trial got delayed twice and finally got scheduled on my daughter's birthday. Well I was, understandably, livid. The court's excuse was the approaching holiday and that they are moving over to a new virtual system, which meant they would shut down for a couple months.
I have to hand it to Debbie, Jessica's assistant, for how she handled this. She was very pleasant, dispute my ill mood about the situation, and they were able to get the hearing moved to another day. They only turn 5 once and I am ever greatful they were able to fix this.
My family thanks you all down a Jessica Walter's office! Check them out for your custody or divorce needs!

We had the pleasure and luck of working with Patrick to sell our home.
Patrick was always on time, and always made time to address our questions or concerns in a timely manner. He always made sure that we were properly informed and satisfied with every step of the process.
He recommended that we used a concierge to get the house sold for a more smooth transaction, since we didn’t have enough time to handle the process by ourselves.
The concierge (Zoom Casa) worked with us to get the house in shape to be sold. They did all of the work getting the contractors and arranging every service needed. It was a smooth and profitable transaction.
We would work with Patrick again without doubt, and we would do the same with the concierge. Thank you!!

i find your messages most interesting. I am not in the frame of mind to sell, I do enjoy your keeping me in the loop of available homes and land. I would need a 3 bedroom, with a bonus room for my cloth and yarn. NO BASEMENT unless it is finished. I am very private right now and if I sold itwould have to be likewise 3-5 ac.
Hope you get alot of calls, you are one of the best !

I was quite anxious about setting forth on the journey of establishing a family trust. Taylor Way and his staff were outstanding. Taylor responded quickly to my numerous questions and concerns. Walked me through the process gracefully. I came out on the other side relaxed and confidant that my heirs would be properly provided for according to my wishes.
Best part … my house will NOT have to go through Probate!

Justin and Claudia are a dynamic duo. My husband and I recently worked with them and the experience with them is unmatched. They were both thorough in their explanations, Claudia made sure things were spelled correctly, checked and re-checked to make sure what we wanted was exactly what we stated. Justin didn’t try to persuade us to do or sign anything we didn’t want; yet, he still provided all important information to us so that we weren’t blind-sided. I HIGHLY recommend this team for legal proceedings in regards to trusts.

As a financial planner who has worked with many different estate planning attorneys, I was blown away by the team at Strauss. I just left a funding meeting with Peter McGuire and was thoroughly impressed with how easy and comfortable the process was for my clients. The team is responsive, approachable, and easy to talk to. They took extra time to make sure the documents will be implemented appropriately and that the financial planning team is well informed of the decisions and next steps. This truly creates the best outcome for our shared clients. Kudos to them.

I Thank God for bringing Atty Steven Walker into my life during such a trying time. He worked with such ease, authority, confidence, and CARE. He is a fine gentleman that truly CARES for his clients! His law office (Including his staff) is professional. And my friends and family could not believe that I had a lawyer that was so responsive. Don't take for granted that he actually returns your calls and email as quickly as possible - because I will tell you, he is a very busy man. But busy people who have good boundaries, and a great staff, and CARE about people, know how to manage their time - making it seem like you are the only one in the world.
When my commercial landlord learned that I was not interested in taking over her property, she betrayed me and our contract by selling the property to another person and wanted me out. It brings tears to my eyes to see that the case was dismissed a year from the text where she offered to sell the place to me. Atty Steven was not having that. He fought for me and my business - allowing me to SLEEP at night and take care of my clients in the morning. All the harrassing mail and emails stopped and the changed their tune when Atty Steven told them what they could do or not do. When the new owner's construction was hell for me and my clients, Atty Walker wrote a Cease and Desist and the construction stopped! He turned the entire case upset down. How? We went from having the Plaintiff demand that I leave the property and pay some astronomical amount - to where they were begging to settle with me. This life is truly sad. I learned from this case that the Love of Money will bring out the worst in people. But hey! This battle is over. Good Lord, I AM FREE from this battle. I will overcome any other that comes my way, as well. Thank you Attorney Steven. You are my Attorney for life! Personal and Business. God truly bless you! You are a Fine Man!!

I worked with Mr. Bennett during my divorce and my case presented some challenges as I was overseas at the time and opposing counsel was often difficult, unrealistic and borderline deceitful to deal with. However, Mr Bennett did a very professional job and provided quality representation and my case was handled well and in a timely manner to my satisfaction.

Attorney Rudisill was patient and humanistic, she took time to really listen and responded extremely quickly. I was so happy that I was able to find this opportunity to ask my questions without fear of being intimidated by a fast talking attorney. I would definitely seek Attorney Rudisill out again on any legal action. Thanks so much for your information. It seems like the attorney's that have been in the business the longest are the ones that leave the snappy responses and expect you to just understand why they say such...Attorney Rudisill took the time to be as thorough as possible and helped me understand what I may need to consider before moving to my next step.

Unfortunately, my location was too far for her to travel to and represent me, she was very helpful in answering my questions and helped me know what I should do from now on.

I'm from Raleigh, so I happened to find Attorney Rudisill online. The absolute best decision I made! I only had questions at first. She took the time to explain things and even answered questions I didn't know I had. She took on piecework for me and was very reasonable, not trying to charge for more. Attorney Rudisill is very knowledgeable and helped me to come to a beneficial resolve, I would highly recommend her services.

I had the privilege of retaining Mr. Patrick Holmes as my attorney. I received a traffic citation in NC, and being that I do not live in NC, it made an already stressful situation worse. Both Mr. Holmes, and his paralegal, Bradley Byrd were outstanding. They were knowledgeable, straight forward, honest, understanding, patient and kind. I always felt informed. If I had a question or concern, my emails were always answered within a reasonable amount of time. They truly made such a stressful situation so much less stressful, and for that I am grateful. They are upfront about what they charge, and their prices are fair and reasonable. They are truly worth every penny! On top of it all, I am extremely happy with the outcome of my case. It was better than even expected and I have them to thank for it! I would highly recommend them!

Alan listened very carefully to our needs and situation. He spent a good deal of time making sure our Special Needs Trust would be set up in a way to protect our children's needs. In the end, we decided to use only a revocable trust, but it was set up in a way to be able to set up a Special Needs Trust for our son in the end. It all was quite complicated (to us) but he was patient, responsive, and thorough. We are very pleased with our final products and would recommend Alan for estate planning.

I recently utilize Mr. Kutteh to represent me in a personal injury case. I was able to schedule and get in to see him soon after the incident and what I immediately picked up on was his kindness. Mr. Kutteh listened to my situation and was compassionate about my circumstances. He explained in detail the process by which personal injury cases traditionally flow including time limitations, the services he offered, and answered all my questions. All decisions about how to proceed were entirely up to me and I was encouraged to ask follow-up questions at any time. Ultimately, Mr. Kutteh reached a fair settlement in my case and was expedient in turning around my payout. I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Kutteh again!

I was overwhelmed and unable to focus on my day to day responsibilities due to having put myself into really bad debt. The team at Arnold & Smith didn’t judge me or make me feel like I was just another person who had irresponsibly put themselves in a bad situation. I wasn’t just another debt settlement case. I was made to feel like a person they wanted to genuinely help get their life back on track. Shannon, Madison and everyone else at Arnold & Smith were there every step of the way, every question I had, every concern, any stumbles, every creditor call, every debt collector correspondence. I was reassured they would do whatever they could to help me with my debt settlement. If I was ever skeptical this program would work or if they could really help me, that skepticism is gone. You guys are real life heroes. You helped me get my peace of mind and my life back on track. I can’t thank you all enough for what you have done for me and everything you continue to do.

Mr. Davenport does a good job of walking you through the process and making you realize that it's not the end of the world. However, it's not a quick process and a lot of it involves relying on an expected outcome by the judge. So, with this in mind, he will continue your case until he gets it in front of the right judge. With me, this process lasted over a year. During this time, I attended counseling and dealt with the loss of a close family member. Eventually, my case went to trial and I was found guilty. So, in hindsight, Mr. Davenport bought me some time to take care of my personal business and negotiated a guilty plea to the least offensive level; I'm grateful for this. One thing you have to consider: They (the prosecution, the defense, the judge, etc.) all know each other and they're not going to do anything to jeopardize a good working relationship. What does this mean for you? If you're guilty, you're not getting completely out of it.

I have known Andrew for over 10 years and he has assisted me on several different matters. Andrew sent a cease and desist letter on a corporate matter and was successful in shutting down the other side. When I was attacked by a dog while delivering he was able to get me a settlement for my injury. He is both professional and personable at the same time. I believe he truly cares about his clients. I know I can count on Andrew to assist me when I call.

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.
