Professional, adept, energetic, and whip-smart - Jill is everything one would hope for when needing the guidance and professional wisdom in bankruptcy matters. She portrays a unique combination of brilliance while still sharing a true caring presence which is so appreciated and needed when one finds themselves in predicaments of money matters. A true gem for sure.

It was a total pleasure working with Jim to get my gun rights restored. He goes above and beyond for his clients. After the Judge signed the order, Jim sent copies directly to WASP, so I could apply for my concealed carry permit sooner than later. He is very kind, caring, and incredibly professional. If you are looking to get your gun rights back, look no further. You are in good hands with Jim. Thank you, Jim. My family and I are truly grateful for your business.

Autumn helped me through a high anxiety divorce from a narcissistic ex husband. She has a very personable approach; I felt heard and supported the entire process. She keeps it very real; fights like a bulldog but also let me know when I needed to reign it in; she was very down to earth on what the judge would and wouldn’t like for the best outcome. I had consulted with 3 other seasoned attorneys, and felt pretty defeated by the lack of connection; When I found autumn, I was honestly hesitant, as she was newer to the firm but instantly connected and she blew my expectations away with her meticulous depositions, financial facts down to the cents, and the heart she pours into her work. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking top-tier legal representation.

We found Drew because another lawyer told us he was good at taking cases that are unusual. That he knows how to fight these cases that nobody else wanted to take. Drew was straight forward with our case and the costs involved during our consult. Drew is straight forward no sugar coating the situation. I appreciated this because I knew he was authentic. We had to put in work but Drew told us if we did some things on our own it would save us a lot of money. It also helped us in remembering some details that we may have forgotten. Drew is intelligent and at times I felt dumb not understanding him but not to worry he would break things down in layman’s terms until we got it. At times I was unsure of communication as he wouldn’t answer emails as often as I would have liked but he is a busy attorney and this didn’t stop him from knowing all the details of the case and looking up laws to fight it. Drew knows his stuff! He was determined to win this case by using his knowledge and knowing the law. I was amazed watching him represent me so well. Literally couldn’t have found a better lawyer. We are grateful we found Drew. If you are searching for the right attorney for you, look no further. Drew is the best. Oh and we won!

His efforts often lead to his client's getting more favorable resolutions then they otherwise would have with other attorneys. Chester was always 100 miles ahead of me with interviews, planning and tactics. His skills and knowledge are second to none and would hire him in a second if the need was to arise.

He also cleared up a traffic camera infraction that showed up in the mail. I wasn't even in the state on the day that they said I ran that light. He's absolutely the guy that you want on your side when you enter a court of law.

I was referred to Mark thru my work EAP. He was the 3rd lawyer I had been referred to and he was the 1st lawyer who listened, showed concern, admitted that he didnt have all the answers, would get back to me (which he did) and spoke to me a lot longer than the "allowed" free 30 minute consult. He asked a lot of questions, worked with me on payment for services rendered and suggested an action plan...all BEFORE I even agreed to hire him. He went above and beyond and once I did hire him, that commitment he promised never stopped. He is an excellent lawyer.

Michael was highly recommended by his co-workers and other attorneys; he is the one that I most definitely want on my team as I go into a battle with unethical people who deceived me in purchasing a home that has major electrical issues, plumbing issues and now black mold. He consulted with me and suggested further testing which revealed severe issues that was not disclosed in the home inspection report.

I had a very favorable experience with Mr Gusa. He went above and beyond what I would have expected from an attorney working with evicting a family member from a house I own. The thing that was so remarkable about him was that he showed compassion and understanding. He guided me to a resolution that helped me feel good about myself.T In all, he was very easy to talk to, and I would consider him a reputable, knowledgeable and compassionate attorney. He is very fair with his costs as well. I don't know how I got so lucky to have found Michael Gusa. I would recommend him highly.

Steve, I just wanted to let you know that I will never forget you. You helped me when I needed to pull it together and needed to save funds because I was barely surviving while working two jobs and facing some daunting circumstances without any familial assistance. I know that you went through hell during the almost two years that I worked with you when having to deal with a great deal of turnover and for that I apologize for having to request assistance elsewhere. I just wanted to let you know that thanks to you, we did get to the bottom of things in time. I know you were worried. You warned me about your experience with another attorney and while I know your worries were valid, I just wanted you to know that everything got settled in time. I was dealing with a battle of attrition because opposing counsel wasn't subpoenaing their witnesses. After we delt with so many continuances (most of which occurred the day of our scheduled trial), we eventually settled and the rest is history after 5 years. We stood firm and we won. I never would've held it together for those first two years without you. Thank you for everything! Best, Steph

My husband and I cannot recommend Morgan Ziegler enough. We had called several other attorneys that had been recommended to us by family and friends before we found Morgan. Every one of those other calls we felt like we were being rushed off the phone, not listened to, and that we were/ keeping the person on the other end from something more important. From the moment we first spoke to Morgan he made us feel heard. He took time to listen to us and to talk to us, and answered all our questions patiently and with kindness, and made sure we understood the answers we were given before hanging up. We instantly knew we were going to be in the best hands. And we were. Our first consultation was informative, not rushed, and eased all the concerns we had. Morgan walked us through each step of the process patiently and with professionalism and kindness. This is a very stressful circumstance to go through, but with Morgan's help we can now breathe a deep sigh of relief.

Gary really likes his questions answered with a yes or no. I am the type to try and elaborate on something. That took some getting used to. Gary has good intentions. If you want your case to be handled by the best then I would hire Gary and his team. I truly believe it was their expertise that got us the outcome we received. He will tell it like it is. He will also crack jokes to lighten the mood. When you are going to fight a case it's best to have someone be honest with you. I will forever be greatful to Gary and his team.

His services are one of a kind. Better than our family member who is an attorney. He is also very respectful and cares about our feelings. He puts things in perspective. I always refer him. All of them said he was useful and they were all satisfied with results. I am very thankful to finally have found an attorney that I am confident in. I have met several other attorneys that were slimy and didn't care about a person welfare. I thank God for somebody like him!

I was involved in a high-stakes land use issue regarding the Shorelines Management Act. We were litigating with a landlord employing a tony downtown Seattle law firm. For face saving reasons, the manager directing their law firm left the case on autopilot. Consequently, we were litigating against their lawyer who had every incentive (besides his client's interest) to pursue every imaginable legal cul de sac. They were outspending us almost 3 to 1 (this came out later). Even though we finally settled in the low six-figures, the final tally was pennies on the dollar for us and carnage on the other side. The settlement covered only a sliver of their legal fees and the litigation drew unwanted city attention to their property and the ways in which they were skirting the law. Peter was great to work with. I found him well connected, well regarded and generous with his knowledge and time. He was clever, always wrestling with the case in his mind, and always cognizant of the personal dimension of a case, either regarding the client or the opponent. In this case, as well as with counsel later in several other matters, I found him pragmatic or pugnacious as circumstances warranted. In some instances, we pressed the fight, in others, we walked away. In all cases, these seemed appropriate courses even in hindsight. When I have had further need for services, he is my first call.

Would recommend to anyone if you want a competent defense lawyer, trust in their experience! G Manigbas knows how to pick a jury and was on top of the case from start to finish. Kept expectations real and walked me through everything that needed to be done. Thanks for your help!

Every time I work with Phil Su of Puget Law Group, it feels as though my traffic situation immediately grows calm and secure. I would love to help others reach Puget Law in a professional manner -- so they too can experience the safety & security they provide. Sometimes, I go 5-10 over on the freeway when commuting, and eventually a patrol officer has nothing better to do. I calmly accept the ticket and humbly thank the officer for his service to the community (police have an incredibly dangerous and difficult job, and that's every day for them). By sending a picture of my ticket to Puget Law, the entire situation is now in better hands than my own. If there's ever anything I can do to repay Phil for the manners and professionalism in addition to the services fee, I would do it. Thank you guys, I'm eternally grateful. (Pic is of a few of my car collection)

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.
