I was treated with the most respect and kindness during my very difficult wrongful death trail. The amazing team of Tillmann law was there every step of the way, keeping me informed. I am so impressed with their thoughtfulness and commitment to keeping things moving forward to the trial. If you ever need a lawyer for any sort of personal injury, I recommend Tillmann law with all my heart. Amazing team, amazing communication, and a stellar outcome. Thank you, Tillman Law! You are the best!

I did NOT want to have to hire a lawyer to complete my insurance claim. I thought I could do it al by myself and BOY WAS I WRONG. The incredible, kind, patient, knowledgable, tough people at Tillmann law were the only reason I believe I reached a satisfactory outcome. Fighting to get what I deserved from the party at fault's insurance in my accident was exhausting. Tillmann law was the only reason I was able to complete the process and stop the stress. I couldn't believe more that hiring them was the right choice. THANK YOU!

I hired Kyle for assistance in a contract dispute. Kyle is a rare breed. The entire time, he worked towards meeting my goals and needs, even when indignation wanted to prevent me from doing that for myself. Some relationships needed consideration, which ultimately was more important to me than winning. He knew this, and despite having the winning position, he always brought me back to what was most important to me. At first, I wondered if he had it in him to fight for my position, but when we had depositions, he was prepared, caught every nuance of conflicting information, and ultimately had the other party in tears. And he actually felt bad for that, but he knew he was only asking fair questions and appropriately representing me, so he didn't back off. Like I said, a rare breed. To the finish line, he maintained the balance of managing information and strategizing our approach so that, while we avoided litigation so there was no judgment in our favor, we were the winners in a thousand other ways. The most important ways. He is a quick thinker, creative problem solver, excellent negotiator, and is always keeping the big picture in mind.
Kyle could have latched onto my desire to fight and maximized the opportunity to make a LOT of money off of me. But he didn't. He cares about his clients and knows that when someone needs legal help, they are in a crisis, and he has no intention of taking advantage of that. It's like he took a class in the psychology of a litigant and understands that this kind of conflict does not bring out the best in anyone. He considers it part of his job to bring them back to being their best selves so that they get out of a place of just wanting to fight to fighting for what they really want.
I hope I never need an attorney again, but I highly recommend him to the rest of Central Oregon!

Caitlin Mitchell and her team did a phenomenal job handling my case, and I couldn't be more impressed with her professionalism and expertise. Caitlin always took the time to listen to my concerns and explain the process, keeping me informed at every stage. Her attention to detail and her dedication made all the difference. When I needed a voice, she provided it. The outcome exceeded my expectations, especially considering how challenging and complex the case was to navigate. Caitlin is compassionate, knowledgeable, and fully committed to her clients. She transformed an intimidating process into one where I felt valued and supported, protecting my rights every step of the way. I highly recommend Caitlin Mitchell and her team.

We had a very bad experience with Mr. Hwang. This was the only appointment we had with him. I think he is impersonal, angry, self absorbed and not patient.
What do people need when they are going through the worst of their lives? -Patience, kindness and awareness of other people’s feelings, as death can be devastating for the family and friends.
Knowledge without these traits is like getting a big enciclopedia.
Please read all the reviews that have been written about him. I did not before setting an appointment, and regretted it.

Bradley Litchfield is extremely competent and did everything he could to get my husband and I custody of my stepson. He was confident and made us feel that he could do what he told us he would and we felt very comfortable using his judgment. He never promised anything and always told us the downside of every option we had. He and his assistant were always helpful and available to talk for you the most part when we had issues or just needed clarification. Without him, we would have been lost. He is the best lawyer we could have asked for.

If I could give 10 stars out of five, I would. I was involved in a civil case in which my 15 year old son was expected to testify. My son was very nervous about this and so was I. Brad Litchfield accepted the case and we feel so fortunate to have been in his care. I feel certain my case was not the most important matter in his caseload, but he always made me and my son feel as though it was. It was a great pleasure to meet him and to see how professionally and empathetically he handled our case. He is clearly a caring and compassionate person and was respectful to everyone involved. Importantly, I appreciate that he at all times made my son feel informed, at ease, safe, and cared for. And, of course, he won our case!

Brad helped me so much through my divorce and helped me keep my mind level while doing so. I had other charges that he wasn't related to but he took it on his own to help guide me through them as well by working with my other attorney. He is a real class act, and I would recommend him to anyone!

I have been extremely pleased with the work Chris Cauble has done for me. He has worked very hard setting up my trust fund and working through my parents very complicated trust. He has kept me informed every step of the way and always explained everything. I will continue to use him in the future, as he has my complete trust.

I hired Chris Cauble to handle the "Winding-Up" and Splitting Up of a C Corporation Partnership that had been running afoul for over three years.
The case turned out to be more than a straight forward deal and involved a corporation, partners, wives, proxies, another LLC and Real Estate to figure out what to do with and how to move forward with.
Additional challenges for Chris Cauble was that he had to learn about the complexities of my consulting business and the assets and talents I wanted to keep doing in my new business going forward.
Chris took the time to learn my existing business inside and out and understand what my new smaller business (solely owned LLC) was going to pursue, after dissolving of the partnership.
I think this single factor of Chris learning what my complex engineering business was and how I wanted move forward after dissolving the partnership, helped Chris achieve the best settlement for me long term.
Chris put lots of effort into listening to what I had to say and dealing with each problem along the sometime emotional process of dissolving the partnership, which had gone from Great to a completely dysfunctional business ownership position for me as Co-Owner of the C Corp.
Chris achieved good results because he listened to our opinions and took strong positions when the opposing attorney began utilizing last ditch efforts of fabricated issues and a mixture of far fetched mis information to get a bigger piece of the pie.
To me Chris' big advantage is that he is very thought out and a logical attorney, that people will listen to and side with. You will find that Chris appears to be silent and quite professional when compared to other attorney's ... But I think I would quantify Chris as More of the "Under handed ,Silent, But Deadly" Type of Lawyer.
I plan on utilizing Chris's services completely for my other businesses, estate issues, potential trust formation, and real estate holding companies going forward.

Ms Reisman was a great help to me. I came to her with my legal problem which was also a great source of stress. She was very responsive to my request, and helped me personally. She provided relevant and useful information and also showed that she cared about me and my well-being. She is very knowledgeable and also showed that she is a kind and caring human being, and not just looking for clients, but does want to help people.

These guys have been with me for 7 years through one of the scariest events of my life. Through that time, my case started at the worst spot possible, and over the years of hard work From the team which included Mark, Jeff, and Jake, my case is significantly less scary and difficult to deal with. I left everything in their hands and trusted them with every decision. They guided me through grueling interviews from prosecutors. They kept me feeling calm and safe during my time testifying as a witness. Jeff also always responded promptly to all my calls and texts throughout all hours of the day and the anxiety/Panic filled evenings. During all this time as well I got to stay with my family and live peacefully without fear during the courts work. I could not think of a better law firm for dealing with your criminal mistakes.

At first, John seemed like the type of lawyer that would actually help you about your case. I paid a retainer for the first part of the service and he helped me out.
As we progressed into our case, John was practically absent. I was the one asking for updates on the work without any updates until days later. He sent me a new retainer and I wanted to ask questions about the retainer and he absolutely found no time to discuss with me (even after mentioning that he would call me and I waited 2hrs).
I personally think you can find a better lawyer for the price he's asking for suggest not going to his practice.

We came into contact with John Bowles and his firm, when we were facing a wrongful eviction. We consulted and hire him. John and his partner traveled hrs to our hometown to defend us. We have seen him in action and he knows the law and your rights as tenants. John and his partner truly care and make you feel like you have known them forever. One of the most genuine people (attorney) we have ever met! They are still fighting for our rights in this very difficult situation. We will absolutely recommend John to everyone we know! Thank you, you guys do awesome work! Thanks for caring!

If I could've given him no stars I would have. Ryan was hired by my niece for a custody battle she was going thru. After stating the case was "a slam dunk case" she ended up losing ALL custody, was ordered to pay child support and secure life insurance. The judgement has ripped my family apart and now we have to pay even MORE money to another attorney to appeal to even attempt to somehow get this reversed.
Horrible, gutless, UNPREPARED and more concerned about getting back to his wife's fundraiser than concentrating on our case. He should've told us to bring the child with us and put a bow on her before we turned her over to the other side. That's how bad of a job he did. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, do not hire this incompetent man.
I am going to blast this wherever I can.

Absolutely amazing, A+! Peter Carini is the first and only attorney I've ever contacted who actually answered his own phone - immediately, on a Sunday. As a paralegal, I can't even begin to tell you how rare that is! I was fully expecting to reach his office voicemail and maybe (probably never) get a call back from his receptionist to schedule a paid consultation the following week.
Except Peter not only answered what must have been his cell phone (unless he was in the office working on a Sunday!), he listened to me without interruption and offered consice insight into my civil legal matter based on his experience and knowledge of the legal process. (Note: This is not the same as legal advice and does not constitute an attorney-client relationship. That's my FYI, not his.) He was totally straightforward as to whether it would be worth my while to hire him and explained how I could instead advocate for myself.
Peter is an exceptionally honest and decent human being, and I am so thankful he answered my call. After speaking to him for 7.5 minutes, I felt hopeful again about a situation that was intimidating and seemingly hopeless. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you, Peter!

I hired this lawyer to represent me in a landlord tenant case. It appeared to me that he did not have many clients, which was bad for me because I felt that he did everything he could to rack up my bill. He took MAX from his office downtown to Washington county courthouse and charged me his hourly rate. He could have taken a limo and charged it to me and it would have been cheaper.

RJ Sohler has been with us since the VERY beginning of our business, eight years ago. He has helped us with the initial setup, issues, purchases, accounting, business growth, messy taxes, Quickbooks, my one million questions, and everything in between. His team covers so many areas and has been a vital part of our success. Marina Elliott has since joined Sohler Law and she, too, is knowledgeable and kind, always explaining things that seem difficult in an approachable way, and just straight up, she gets things done! We will always continue to use Sohler Law!!

Eugene did not hesitate when asked to help form a local cycling club in the valley. Not only was his legal advise and guidance invaluable, he put his words into action by starting a non profit for the local cycling community.
His professionalism, along with the ability to work with the various interests within our group, was a perfect fit for us.

My husband and I chose Eugene Anderson to represent us in litigation of a difficult and highly emotional matter. Mr. Anderson advised us regarding the procedure and what we would likely experience as well as his fees at our first meeting. Throughout the entire time Mr. Anderson represented us, we found him to be straightforward, honest, highly ethical, compassionate and kind. My husband especially appreciated Mr. Anderson's fairness in his billings. I appreciated Mr. Anderson's kindness and understanding towards me during this very painful time. Mr. Anderson is unusual in my experience of attorneys in that when he says he will have something done by a certain date, he has it done by that date. He does not procrastinate! My husband and I both liked and enjoyed Mr. Anderson as a person as well as respect him as an attorney.

I hired Gottlieb to renegotiate a lease that was about to expire. He indicated that he had been communicating with my landlord and the lease was just in the bag. I spent several thousands of dollars in improvements in anticipation of the renewal of my lease to find out that Mr. Gootlieb had not suceeded in obtaining an extension of my lease after all. All the money spent in tenant improvements were lost. The landlord demanded immidiate surrender of premises at end of lease.
Mr. Gottlieb still demamded his fee for services and threatened to sue me for his fee if not paid in full. Add insult to injury.

We have used FHM for the last 7 or 8 years for both our business and personal family trust. We have used multiple attorneys who have all been professional and kind in their dealings with us. I would highly recommend FHM in all aspects of law, both personal and business.

The problem with the legal system is no one can afford representation for issues. It is hard to litigate a $450 fee someone is trying to impose upon you when attorneys cost $400/hr just for a consultation. This doesn't help your community.
Edit after update from owner: This is all fine and in good spirit, but before I could even get a question off to see if this would be worth my time and expense, I was cut off and told I would have to set up a $400/hr consult first. For those of us in between jobs with families, this does not qualify as affordable. The state was more helpful. The state.

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.
