Sandy had been helpful in the past with a residential closing, but I recently employed her to help me secure a commercial property, and she caused me to lose the contract by doing half-a** work. It seemed like she just didn't care, which was disappointing. Would not recommend hiring her unless it is a super easy transaction and she doesn't have to do much work.

My Husband and I used Christopher for the sale of our home and we have nothing but good things to say. He was honest, knowledgeable and so helpful. For a busy attorney he is also very responsive through emails and phone. He helped make our sale and closing so easy for us, despite some bumps in the road. We enjoyed working with him so much that we referred him to 2 family members that he has done good by and we plan on using his services for the purchase of our next home. We highly recommend him!

Chris took on an industry behemoth on my behalf and settlement was negotiated within 7 months! He tackled the assignment with vigor and confidence; his analytics and brief were top notch and I believe that is what got the other side to the table in such short order. He's also quick on his feet ~ right back in their faces when the opposing side came at us. Good command of the laws and pressure points too. On a personal note, Chris is a pleasure to work with, compassionate, empathetic and kind ~ he'll listen to you, work hard for you and be an effective advocate. The other side did not see him coming! Very happy with my outcome.

Mr. Alexander assisted me with a probate matter in which I was the executor of an estate. I came to him for legal assistance to help resolve a matter that seemed complicated and that I was afraid could not be resolved. I couldn't believe how quickly and easily Mr. Alexander resolved the matter. Everything went very smoothly. I highly recommend this attorney and am happy to give him five stars.

I was involved in a minor vehicle accident for which my healthcare provider and vehicle insurance should have coordinated coverage with the hospital I was taken to. Because that did not happen, I was receiving bills from the hospital that were far above what my insurance should have covered. After many unsuccessful attempts to straighten this out with my provider, I hired Mr. Stepnowski largely because of his experience with healthcare issues. Mr. Stepnowski took time to help me understand the way the law was being interpreted as it related to my claim, as my provider is located out of state. He then drafted an appeal to my insurance provider that was well researched, which won an approval and my provider adjusted the claim. I am grateful for the level of professionalism and knowledge Mr. Stepnowski imparted throughout the process.

Our file was extensive and very detailed. We went through so many hurdles throughout the years of our immigration process. Alex was with us through every high and every low. Not only is he professional, but a listening ear when you just want to throw the towel in and give up. I am very grateful for the time and effort he showed us throughout the years. I recommend Alex to all of our friends and family as he has helped us so much. My husband is now a green card holder and we could not have done it without him!

I tell my clients that he is not only knowledgeable, honest and ethical, he is also an attorney who will take good care of you. He answers his own phone, shows interest in his clients' needs, and will spend as long as it takes on the phone to thoroughly answer every question and concern. He is also a master at getting difficult deals to close. He will make sure my clients close on their house no matter what it takes. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Rifis and his staff handled a divorce for me. They worked very closely with me in obtaining and organizing my financial records to disprove the charge by my husband’s attorney that I made more money than I did and that the debt that I was asking my husband to share was my own personal debt. He proved that my husband was responsible for much of our marital debt by using my credit card and that we had paid off my husband’s credit card charges first because he had a higher interest rate than mine. We used my card for family purchases. My ex-husband is now paying his fair share of those old family bills and the children’s current expenses. Mr. Rifis and his staff were very considerate of my situation and my emotional state. I highly recommend their compassion, experience and professionalism.

The insurance company offered me a pathetically low sum of money for my work accident. Attorney Rifis convinced me not to accept it and on the morning of the trial they finally offered me a lot more reasonable amount as we were walking into the arbitrator’s hearing room. Mr. Rifis spent a lot of time with me preparing for the hearing. We went over the facts of the accident and all of my medical care and bills. He had taken the doctor’s deposition and was ready for the hearing. All that preparation was not wasted because I knew that I would win after the hearing and it gave me the confidence to wait for the best settlement offer. Mr. Rifis is worth every bit of his fee.

Ms. Osga is readily available to her clients day and night, she knows how to manuever paper work through our overloaded courts, people in the County building mean it when they ask Kristi how she is feeling or how are things wtih the family. I have had Ms Osga handle 7 real estate transactions for me over the years. All went smoothly all documents were in order papers and tiltles checked etc. Our first transaction was when Cook County Illinois still used the Torrens recording system. Torrens records could take a year or more to be inscribed. When Ms Osga dealt with Torrens it took 4-6 weeks to be listed. Her legal fees are extremely reasonable. Her knowledge and profesionalism put first time buyers at ease. She represents only her clients best interest and is one of the most ethical legal professionals I have ever met. She also helped my grandmother get a physical power of attorney for a mentally handicapped daughter at a fee my grandmother could afford, She came to court to give my grandmother support at the hearing. I could write a book about how Ms. Osga has served mankind in the legal system. When Kristi Osga is your attorney, you can rest assured that all is going to be legal above board run smoothly and in everyway possible successful

I worked with Adam in 2015. I called him again in early 2017 on my way to court, and he met me there. What was supposed to be a simple guardianship issue exploded into a case that continues even now. It's been a year, and Adam has stood by me, appeared in court on my behalf, and spent countless hours organizing and researching the mounds of paperwork I've given him, to submit the proper documents in court. He has not given up on me, when everyone else has. Without his guidance, compassion, and expertise, I honestly believe that my case would have taken all of the wrong turns, with terrible consequences. Adam will fight for you with respect and vigilance. Give him a call, he will listen.

I could not be happier with the attention they gave me. The level of expertise and conviction made this experience unforgettable. They will go above and beyond, advising on how to resolve the current issues and advise on prevention and how to preserve a small business such as ours. They are fair and truly care about their clients. I cannot stress enough on how you will be in the right care in the hands of Mrs. Moraitis and her associate Danielle. Thank You.

Nobody wants to need legal representation. But when you do, Nichole and her assistant Jana are the ones you go to. Nichole understands that most clients come to her at transitional points in their life when there's a big milestone happening. She is experienced in guiding her clients through the legal nuances while helping you maintain your sense of humanity, usually when emotions and financial burden are both escalating out of your control. Nichole has advised me since 2020 and I wouldn't ask anyone else to look out for my rights as well as my family. Because family issues should stay out of the court room, but if you find yourself needing to meet the judge, having Nichole by your side makes it more palatable. I also appreciate that Nichole respects only my opinion as a mother but my opinion as a professional working mother.

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.
