Мы обратились к адвокату Хуану Бабани для обжалования штрафа и остались полностью довольны его работой. Все взаимодействие с ним проходило дистанционно — даже не пришлось выходить из дома. Услуга полностью цифровая, все организовано удобно, прозрачно и честно. Каждая деталь процесса была понятна, и адвокат держал нас в курсе на каждом этапе. Благодаря его профессионализму штраф был успешно отменен. С уверенностью рекомендую этого специалиста каждому, кто ищет надежного и компетентного адвоката

There are few attorneys out there like Mrs. Jones. She helped me in more ways than one in representing me with my mother's probate estate. She was kind, diligent and made sure everything went by smoothly. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a piece of mind when handling their legal needs. Why worry when you can hire a good attorney like her to oversee all your interest.

Professional, direct, and top notch results for your legal issues at a reasonable rate. Mr. Ben Jacobi PA picked up my case after our prior attorney withdrew due to the mental chaos the other party ,whom is a master manipulator , with a strong litigation disorder perhaps resulted in her withdrawing due to the never-ending nonsense and ongoing fabricated lies and outrageous unfounded allegations, that no professional, especially a top rated law firm could possibly , no matter what rate your being paid, represent. Looking back, it was a blessing in disguise as we moved over to new and experienced counsel. Somehow, Mr. Jacobi picked up the pieces, developed a strategy, and helped me understand all aspects of family law with realistic expectations . He was honest with me, but relentless on key issues. His staff was responsive, professional, and helpful. This is a law firm of integrity that offer experience in family law, Real Estate , Bankruptcy, Disability , Wills, Trust and Probate as well as many other legal areas. Most importantly, Jacobi and Jacobi P.A. literally changed my entire families life! I owe Mr. Benjamin R. Jacobi North Miami Beach Florida far more than a lousy thank you, he literally changed our lives in ways that I am positive he has many others! I am truly grateful!

I'm writing this review so that anyone in a desperate position with no end in sight will do the one thing that might save them, Hire Mr. Haynes. I'm a big believer in hiring people you know this way there is a personal connection. well we didn't know Mr. Haynes. From the moment he took our case we could see that he not only knew the law but was a fighter. We were in an impossible situation fighting a case in Florida while we lived in California. He worked on our case for years never complained never once changed our agreement. As a matter of fact after years of fighting he called us which I thought well I'm ready for bad news. Without a beat he said great than I can make your day, you won the case and its over. He was so humble yet making sure I understood that's what he does win cases and ours was no exception. His prices aren't fair for him that is he spoke to us about money one time and that was it, its unheard of for any great attorney. Please call us anytime to talk about Jerry Haynes he saved our family. Thank you Mr Haynes you are a great attorney but maybe a better person, if that's possible.

I engaged Chepenik Trushin to help me navigate my late father's estate after finding them through a Google search. At the time I was unsure about how to select an attorney but my first consultation with attorney Adam Nicoll instantly set my mind at ease. Adam was empathetic, knowledgable, and came across as an excellent partner to help me navigate the long and complex process of being my father's personal representative. Once the time came to begin the process, my expectations were far exceeded. Adam was responsive, easy to work with, highly collaborative, and capably shepherded me through the complex estate process during am extraordinarily difficult time in my life. I can't imagine going through the last year without Adam by my side. When my father's estate became contentious, Dan Bachman joined our legal team. Dan is an incredibly skilled negotiator and took a keen interest in my situation and the facts of the case. Much like Adam, Dan made me feel secure and was essential to keeping my anxiety about the case at bay. Dan is tenacious, extremely smart, and is exactly who I'd want sitting next to me when navigating a complex litigation. I'd emphatically recommend Chepenik Trushin, and especially Adam Nicoll and Dan Bachman, to anyone in need of a Florida probate/estate attorney.

The team at Chepenik Trushin LLC handled our probate case diligently, with absolute professionalism and care in what became a highly litigious matter. Mr. Dan Bachman and Mrs. Dani Birman and the team were relentless in their determination to adhere to the law, apply it and painstakingly dismantle the arguments and many maneuvers of the opposing party. The case led to precedent being made in Florida which is a testament to the capabilities of Chepenik Trushin LLC. Knowledge of the law, Respect for the judicial process, Absolute professionalism, Absolute integrity. Empathy. Highly recommended.

He is very unprofessional, neglect , doesn’t care about his client. I hired him to defend my brother in a serious murder case thinking he’ll do his best abilities to do so . However, it turned it out to be a huge mistake and I wish that I hired a public defender instead of this awful guy . He Took my hard earned money and did a very poor job and had no defense plan. He convinced my brother after waiting four years to accept the prosecutor harsh offer 25 mandatory sentence in prison and not go further to trial where he might had fighting chance for a better outcome . He’s an awful lawyer .

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
