After years of stress and worry not being able to get ahead things got bad! Buying groceries on credit etc.. James Price and Pam relieved so much stress off of me, I wondered why I did not do this sooner! The laws are there to use for our benefit, but most people don’t realize it! Mr Price and Pam have been great to work with! Mr Price and Pam answered every concern with patience and concern! I worried them too death I’m sure but they never showed it! They were quick to ease my concerns! Bankruptcy is nothing to be taken lightly but when it’s necessary it can give you a lot of peace! The stress I had caused myself was overwhelming! Finally after several years of fighting with the humiliation of what I had gotten myself into, Mr Price and Pam were a “God” send! Very understanding and easy to work with! These are the lawyers you need if your back is against the wall and you see no relief in sight! I cannot thank them for their expertise and time enough! Ease your concerns if you find yourself in a no ending situation with your creditors and let them help you to find the relief that we all need in life!

Jim represented my son during a bout of bad traffic violations. He has given great advice and counsel and because of his help, was able to save my son a world of HURT. My son luckily has listened to his advice about slowing down. He actually took the time to speak to my son man to man and it helped! Jim also redid our wills and power of attorney. He was patient! I asked a million questions. He is a great attorney but a solid, kind human being!!

Filing bankruptcy is clearly not an easy decision, however, Jim and Pam helped soften the blow and put our minds at ease... My father and My business took a hit that we could not survive during COVID-19 and could not have picked a better attorney to help us with the process. From our first conversation, Jim made sure we were comfortable and understood that “these things happen to good people all the time” and that “we were going to be ok”. Not only are Jim and Pam an absolute pleasure to work with, they are also highly and thoroughly responsive in answering any and all questions (and there have been many) that we have had through this process. Jim loves his job, and you can really tell. I honestly feel like Jim and Pam actually care about us and our future moving forward. I finally feel safe and protected with them on our side. As the title states, I really can not say enough good things about this firm. If you are looking for a team to assist you through this very difficult time, stop now and call/email them. You will NOT be disappointed.

I highly recommend staying away from this firm and Trent Grissom. He was told to file a simple insurance claim 4 times. None of which did. He was fired. I posted a negative review on Google and he threatened to *sue me for defamation* really Trent?? Is this the type of attorney you would use??? I would recommend reading other website reviews which are poor. They will charge you for every small email even when it is unsolicited.

**Don't even bother wasting you're time with this 3rd string pack of attorney rejects. Trent Grissom will tell you 'oh it's my specialty...no problem'. You will then be forced to explain your case several times to him and then put it in writing, all after paying for your official consultion. He is unable to find any solution. They merely just want to run up your bill with redundent question and tactics. There is always exuses for not receiving updates (moving offices, sick, vacation and court - really??). I spent one year with this 'unimaginative clown' and accomplished zero. **Read the real reviews, NOT Google reviews. Poor office support as well. **Avoid at all costs** How anyone who could rate this firm a 4 or 5 must have been paid to do so.👎

The best traffic attorney in North Carolina BY FAR. Scott is a straightforward, trustworthy, and fast-acting solution to your law-related needs. At the start of my case, what he said would happen, happened. He doesn't beat around the bush, so if he tells you your case will turn out a certain way. Then that is the way it'll turn out. His fees are provided to you with proper notice, and they're dead accurate so no need to worry about any sudden bills. He will happily answer any and all questions you may have, and doesn't make you wait for a response. Given he is most definitely the busiest traffic attorney on this end of the state, it's awesome that he still takes the time to confront any concerns or queries you present in a timely manner.
10 out of 10 experience! Thank you Scott!

Having a reliable, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and empathetic attorney to help with employment issues has been invaluable to me--and Holly is that attorney. She has provided me with peace of mind and treated me with respect and empathy during some difficult career transitions. Uniquely, she is detail-oriented while also seeing the big picture and always listens to my concerns and questions without ever being condescending or dismissive. I highly recommend Hammer Law for anyone who needs help with legal employment matters. She will treat you with the dignity and honesty you need when faced with professional uncertainty.

I retained Tolin & Tolin for a speeding ticket I received after receiving a notice by mail informing me of their service. I spoke to Melinda by email and then by phone, paid $225, was assured I did not need to appear in court and was advised I would be contacted after the court date if there were further fees. A few weeks go by, and I received a notice that my license was being suspended due to failure to appear and I would need to pay several hundred dollars to prevent this from happening. After multiple phone calls and an email to the law firm with absolutely no response, I called the courthouse in my county. Thankfully, a very nice representative at the courthouse was able to communicate with the law firm and resolve the issue. My situation was handled completely unprofessionally. I still have not been contacted by Tolin & Tolin even for an apology. I understand things can slip through the cracks but as a professional myself, when you're dealing with someone's livelihood you need to be a bit more responsible. Or at the very least, return a phone call. I would not recommend using this firm at all.

Mr. Shanahan was always very professional and caring. He listened to all my concerns about my case and answered every question I had. He was very quick with all his responses either via phone call or email. If I ever wanted to meet with him he was usually avaible that same week to sit down and discuss my case. His paralegal Suzanne was extremely nice and polite. They both made this experience less daunting. The receptionist Danielle was also very cheerful and inviting and the office was always kept very tidy. I would recommend Mr. Shanahan and his team to anyone.

1. Mr. Shanahan was instrumental in helping me to work through complicated, multi-sated guardianship issues successfully. His staff, especially Suzanne, kept me informed every step of the way and arranged for meetings at my convenience. Mr. Shanahan and staff were always professional, understanding and very kind. I would not hesitate to ask for his services in the future.
2. I had previously had Mr. Shanahan's help with the successful completion of a guardianship issue, so I did not hesitate to call on his expertise again in an issue regarding animal safety. He was able to negotiate with ADA and concerned parties to have this matter taken care of promptly and quite successfully. Mr. Shanahan and his staff were always professional, prompt, and very helpful. Again, I would not hesitate to call on him again.

I had the pleasure of working with Mounia, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her prompt responses always left me reassured, never having to wait long for a reply or update. Her due diligence was evident in every interaction, ensuring that no detail was overlooked. Beyond these commendable traits, she is remarkably knowledgeable, exceedingly meticulous, and genuinely cares about her clients' concerns. Her professionalism and expertise not only inspired confidence but also delivered substantial results. If you're looking for legal guidance, her dedication and prowess make her an outstanding choice.

My fiancee and I have been working with Ms. Elarar for just over a year, and she has been extremely helpful and patient, walking us through the maze that is the immigration visa system. She never hesitated to answer any question, my fiancee or myself had, at any time. Without her, it may have taken years of navigating state and international forms, but she made it a breeze, dare I say, a pleasant experience. I highly recommend Ms. Elarar, for anyone attempting to figure out the immigration system. I know if I will be contacting her for any future questions in regards to green cards and citizenship.

On May 15, 2015 I was served with a child custody suit concerning my adopted grandchild. I was to appear in a NC court on May 21, 2015. I live in Missouri. I found Brad Schulz on the NC Bar Assoc website. Acting on blind faith, I hired Brad and his staff. He went to work immediately requesting copies of information I forgot existed. Through phone conversations he prepared my case. On May 21st he represented me so I didn't have to travel to NC. Working together through today's amazing technology, Brad won that custody case. Either Brad or his assistant, Catherine, were in contact with me at least every other day, if not every day. Because of family dynamics involved, I feel my life was restored. I'll forever be grateful to two people I never met in person, however, they felt like old friends.

I came to Kendra Morgan panicked and scared about some traffic violations that I received. She was able to provide information about the severity of my tickets, gather the appropriate documentation, and present my defense to have my traffic matters resolved with the best possible outcome. Having her on my side took away my anxiety and gave me such a feeling of relief. Never go to court without an attorney; never go to court without Kendra Morgan.

If you want an attorney who will fight for you within the confines of the law then Greg is a good choice. When I left my ex he filed for an Absolute divorce after the 1yr separation requirement. Greg fought for me to have court ordered alimony. There was an unusual twist in my case which Greg successfully helped me with. He is a kind, hard working man. He always promptly replied to my e-mails and answered my questions. His staff is wonderful. Every one I encountered was very kind and helpful Any messages I left for Greg were always given to him. Based on my experience I would recommend Greg if you need an attorney.

Got over $$3,500 stolen from my attorney. He promise to take our case to sue a company and every time we asked for updates he will have an excuse. It’s been a year (12 months) and no work was done, we have ask for our money back and he was failed to provide an explanation on where the money is. He said he has to deduct his hours which no work was ever presented to us. In the whole year NOTHING was ever done. PLEASE BE CAREFUL!
Update:
Ms Andrew provided me with an invoice where he charged us $250 for just REVIEWING emails, this means he DID NOT REPLY, he did not do anything but received it.
Emails that he decided to ignored, he wants us to sign an invoice for a check when he is not even acknowledging the $200 that Mr River promise to add to our fund. He is also charging us more than what we had agreed on.
The agreement was that he was going to charged $250 for every HOUR Working on our case. He is charging us $250 for emails WE send asking about our case! EMAILS he decided to ignored. And unless he has a disability I can’t understand how long it took him to read my email.
We got over $3,250 for him LOOKING at our emails.
Please be careful because if that’s not stealing money idk what is.
In the refund the wants to give us is only for $375 back and asking us to sign a disclosure saying “we are happy with his service and all charges are accurate” IF THATS NOT STEALING PEOPLES MONEY, I DONT KNOW WHAT IS!
Funny you claimed we didn’t dispute the charges when we are asking you to send us the drafting work you claim you did. And NOTHING HAS BEEN PROVIDED. WE ARE DISPUTING ALL THOSE $3,250 that you did not work, you ignore emails.
I dispute those charges as soon as you sent them.

Andrew was 45 minutes late to our first court appearance. I was sent multiple reminders from his firm to appear at the correct time, and I was getting more and more stressed when he did not show up. I called his office and they had no idea where he was and assured me that they would contact him and find out. Finally he showed up 45 minutes late. I did not get an apology or explanation for why he was late.
Andrew was representing me in a tenant eviction where the tenant was living in my property without leaving for 6 months. This is the first time that I have ever gone through an eviction so I hired him. He was supposed to check the rent bonds each month so that we could remove the tenant any time they did not pay their bonds to the court. He failed to check the October rent bond because we were attempting to negotiate with the tenant. Instead he waited until November and then realized the tenant hadn't paid in October and we could have filed to remove her weeks earlier. This inaction lost me 1 month of income. He will probably reply here that he didn't check the bond because he was negotiating - but I fail to see why both tasks are mutually exclusive. I am literally paying for his time (retainer paid for his hourly rate so it's not like I asked him to do this for free), so why were the tasks I asked him to do not done?
When I asked Andrew to acknowledge this mistake or provide me with a discount on his rate for the income that he lost me, he sent me the following reply, direct quote: "I have 100 other cases going on besides yours. The rent bond information is publicly available. So, it is also something that you could have checked just as easily." If he has 100 other cases and can't give my case the attention it needs, maybe he should take on less cases. And obviously if I was a legal expert and could have gone through this process on my own, I wouldn't have needed a lawyer in the first place.
EDIT - He was absolutely 45 minutes late. To deny that would be an absolute lie. I sat in the court room by myself while the judge skipped over me and went to other cases, and she directly said that we can come back to mine when my council shows up. And I did bring this up to Andrew by asking him to state clearly (by email) exactly what time he would be at court for the next court appearance.
As for why I said "Thank you" in emails??? and didn't call out the issues immediately it's because I was afraid that if I call out ineffective work during my case, that I would be retaliated against and the work wouldn't be performed at all. There's a reason I had to follow up over 100 times.
You are also misrepresenting me here. I NEVER once asked why you didn't file the writ of possession while we were negotiating. I understand ethics very well. I only asked why you didn't VERIFY that the tenant paid her bond. Isn't the saying "knowledge is power"? When the tenant flaked from turning up to sign the negotiated paperwork, we should have been able to file the Writ of Possession Immediately. Or even immediately after our court date. Instead because you never checked this fact, we had to wait weeks!!

Service - 0 stars
Quality of work - 0 stars
Any type of case resolution - 0 stars
A waste of my entire fee that was paid.
Mr. Gordon -
It seems all your time trying to prove to my cc company that you did the work I paid for was most of the work you did, because that's more work than I ever saw for myself.... Which is what I told them, and the reason it was in your favor was because one of the deadlines of my cc company to reply to your response expired and I was not aware. As I explained to them, all the paperwork you showed them were never provided to me, and the reason I asked for a refund in the first place was due to your lack of communication, professionalism, and any type of quality of work (or lack thereof). It's the only logical explanation in the first place, since I have paid money for services which I have never received, and I have no resolution of the case you were hired to perform. Presumably, if it took you “several hours” to refute my claim, you didn’t start out with enough evidence to disprove it in the first place. And my “audacity” comes from being the fact that I am the one that ended up wasting every penny I gave you, with nothing to show for it. I think that you are the audacious one, to think that I am not deserving of any refund, because you had to spend time to manufacture evidence of your work you did for me.
Edit to respond to your edit:
I'm responding so that we stick to the facts as opposed to manufacturing hyperbole and you misrepresenting what happened, and taking no responsibility for your actions as a professional.
To reiterate, I lost the chargeback because, as the bank told me multiple times, we went past the deadline required by the bank to respond. In addition you showed the bank "evidence" of work you had done for the case, which I had never seen before, and could have easily been manufactured after the fact.
And to keep facts straight again, I never disputed the fee charged for the consultation, only the fees for the case, which was never performed. Way back I asked for a refund from you when there wasn't even any work performed yet, and you offered me a very small fraction of my fee. It was then that I realized you were not going to be reasonable and I initiated the chargeback. Throughout the time of the case I had to continuously do my own legwork for the case and emails to you went unanswered for days at a time. I was also extremely dissatisfied with your attention to my case, and knowledge of procedure, which is another reason I asked for a refund. I had to hire different representation for my case due to your lack of attention and resolution. I find it interesting in all of your responses you never claim to have represented me or found any resolution in my case. I think if you had finished the case, and then I initiated a chargeback, that would be a scam, not me trying to get some money back before the case was started because I was dissatisfied with your service. You offered me approximately a 25% refund of my original fees, which was before anything was even started for the case. If I had been represented to my satisfaction, or you recovered any damages in my case, I would have not asked for anything back, obviously. In this case the scam seems to be accepting my total fee with no resolution or progress to my case, and I find it preposterous that you expect you should be compensated for time responding to my dispute, when I was dissatisfied with my service in the first place.
Also I think we should leave anyone accepting credit card payments from me out of the equation, since you have zero knowledge of the subject. I hope my fee is worth it to you, since you seem to have a business practice of accepting funds for work not done, which seems like more of a scam to me.
Merry Christmas

I cannot say enough about the superb professional support I have received for my dental practice from Mr. Brad Stark and The Fisher Stark law firm.. Brad and Perry are not only highly skilled attorneys, but they offer a warm and caring attitude that I have not found in many attorneys. They've not only shown great interest and concern for our legal matters, but they have always responded to our needs very quickly, with great efficiency, and with success. I strongly recommend the law firm of Fisher Stark, and look forward to their future support.

Mr Stark assisted me with my injury lawsuit. I found him to be extremely attentive and helpful. He took to the time to get to know me, not just my case. Admittedly I was a bit intimidated talking to a lawyer but he was very down to earth and helped me understand all the legal jargon I didn't really understand. He explained my options and laid out clearly what I could expect throughout the process which really helped settle my nervousness. I am very thankful that I chose Mr. Stark and would certainly recommend him if you are seeking an attorney.

Paige came highly recommended from an attorney friend of mine. She did not disappoint me at all. I was starting a new business and she guided me down a bumpy path you go through with a startup. She gave me great advice on contracts, business decisions and legal questions. I could not thank her enough. I almost consider her a partner in my business.

Knowledgeable, empathetic, funny, polite and reasonably priced. These are all descriptions of Attorney John R. Fonda of the Fonda Law Firm. I'm a Landlady with investment rental properties in the Triad.
I met Attorney Fonda at the W/S Forsyth Co. Government Centers waiting area, along with other Landlords and Property Managers. As we waited for our hearings to be heard. When he walked in, I found him to be pleasantly approachable. He had us laughing and talking to each other. That really helped us ease the tension of the situation.
We informed him that we were Landlords with eviction cases. He offered us his Landlord informational pamphlet of the legal do's and don'ts called "Landlord's Guide To Summary Ejectment Proceedings In North Carolina. That he wrote, and at no charge!
My PROFESSIONAL TENANT had a Legal Aid Attorney that first delayed the case by continuance, then had the case dismissed.
All of which the tenant and Section eight withheld rent for two months.
I called the number on the pamphlet and hired Attorney Fonda to redo my case. He did an excellent job informing and advising me through email and phone calls. He understands and get what Landlords are up against in the Court System. As we have rights to.
After sending the tenant a NOTICE OF DEFAULT letter and followed up by an ACTION FOR SUMMARY EJECTMENT NOTICE. This Professional Tenant couldn't flea the property fast enough.
I would definitely retain his services again and refer him to other Landlords with the same problem I had. He is truly GOOD PEOPLE. Thanks, Attorney Fonda.

Michael Hoard has been our family's attorney for over 10 years. He has handled many closings for several members of the family and each person was always completely satisfied with his work. When my husband became ill and we unable to attend a closing, I knew that Michael would and did handle this matter and he made sure all of our questions were answered. Whenever I contacted Michael and he was unavailable, I was confident that he would get back to me at his earliest convenience. Michael set up a trust for my husband and me and he explained the necessity of everyone protecting their assets no matter the size of their estate. I have always been able to contact Michael to ask legal questions and he never made me feel like a bother. He was always patient and informative about each topic we discussed. Michael would be an asset to any law firm, as I know you have learned. He will always be the attorney my family calls.

Reached out to Gillespie & Murphy earlier this afternoon regarding a possible legal situation.
Not only did receptionist, Ruthy Hiatt contact me by email and phone, but so did attorney Allen Murphy. We had an in-depth conversation and my questions addressed. I found Mr. Murphy to be professional, knowledgeable, non-judgmental and extremely helpful.
If you have made it this far to read reviews, I for one highly recommend Gillespie & Murphy for legal matters. They are not only a law practice, but genuine and kind individuals with your best interest in mind.

What I love the most from working with John-Paul is his ability to ask the right questions. He has been someone that I have come to count on since the first day I started my business. Not your average attorney, he is very personable, reliable and someone you want in your corner. Been working with John-Paul for over 11 years and have been pleased with the outcome every time.

My client used John- Paul as his Attorney on the purchase of a building for his restaurant and needless to say, the attention to detail and the quality of his work was outstanding. John- Paul was very active throughout the entire process of the sale and gave straight forward advice that served my client well. It is my privilege to recommend John-Paul as an excellent Attorney that can deliver.

John-Paul is the type of person you want in a lawyer. He was quick to call me back and when he did, I felt I had all of his attention. He is very detailed but kept things in a way that I could understand and follow. The most important factor about John-Paul is that I feel confident and assured my legal matters are in the best hands possible.

Ms. Brumback was the lead attorney on a team that defended a large national Architectural firm in a complicated claim brought by a very aggressive health care institution's legal team.
At all times, Ms. Brumback patiently and competently led our firm through the process. Our firm had been very successful over the many years it had been in operation in avoiding such claims and, as a result, required much guidance from the legal team in assisting in our own defense.
I, personally, and the firm, generally, would recommend Ms. Brumback to any design firm in need of an excellent defense.

I returned a product to a store owner and he claimed he would issue me a credit on my credit card once his credit card machine was working again. He never did after multiple phone calls and then sent me a bad check. Melissa wrote him a letter to "put the fear of God (or fear of lawyers, perhaps)" into him, which seemed to work, since he finally sent me a check for my refund that cleared.

Ms. Brumbach represented my firm on two separate occasions. The first as a member of a legal team who defended us against a former client. Rather than meet to discuss the concerns in person, this client was persuaded by an aggressive law firm to resolve the matter through the courts. Their incentive being the expectation of a large insurance settlement from a policy we carried at the time.
The second was as our attorney in a suit to collect fees from a client who withheld final payment for work we performed. Rather than meet to discuss, this client ceased communication.
In both instances she became familiar with the facts very quickly and developed a well conceived plan for both our defense and the merits of our claim.
We would not hesitate to engage her if the need arose once again.

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.
