We worked with Jason Covington to secure guardianship of our adult son and really appreciated the way he was able to explain the process and make it less intimidating. Jason also dealt with a follow up issue we had. He is calm and patient and goes the extra mile.
The overall office atmosphere feels approachable when you walk in the door. Communication has been professional and friendly. We would not hesitate to recommend Jones, McCoy and Covington.

So, I actually interacted mostly with the Topeka office, and a remote assistant, after my initial consultation at their Lawrence location. I never had a problem with getting immediate responses to my questions as they popped up. Everything that needed to be done was handled in a timely and professional manner... I never felt uninformed or caught off guard. The fees were very reasonable for the amount of work they had to do, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this firm. They're good people and they know what they are doing.

Steve and his team were assigned to my high conflict custody case to help resolve the constant court hearings, and filings from the other parent. They helped bring the case to a civil standpoint and show the truth through all of the harassing messages, and court filings. Steve stood up for what was best for our child, and gave his honest and professional input to the courts which the judge agreed upon and followed. I appreciate your professionalism, hard work, and honesty throughout the extremely stressful time. Steve handled the aggression from my child’s other parent with grace and professionalism the entire time.
I have recommended your firm to multiple clients of mine going through their own divorce and custody case.

He represented me in a business lawsuit in which he displayed terrible communication, utter lack of knowledge, no courtroom skills, and a focus on not saying anything that might annoy the judge. He had his Kansas law license suspended in November 2020, and his Missouri license suspect after that. He is only good at promptly sending outrageous bills. Avoid at all costs.

I have known Mark since 1985 and seen his dedication to his clients and his cases consistently in all of those years. As his client you need not worry about offensive large firm hourly rates to pay for their over-the-top luxuries, or being moved to other attorneys or paralegals with less experience. He has never needed to advertise, and is extremely self-sufficient and responsible, beyond the call of duty. You will be fortunate to be his client.

The Denning Law Firm represented our family in a case resulting from the death of our father at a nursing home. We often would have concerns about the case that would arise numerous times a week, Paeten and Willie always addressed those issues in a professional, friendly manner. We were kept well informed with every step of the process as well as any issues that emerged.
Throughout my experience of having worked with other lawyers in the past, I had often felt undervalued as a client. This was not the case with Paeten and Willie Denning. Sometimes it seems that with larger firms I got lost in the crowd or pushed to settle quickly, this was never the case with the Denning Law firm. Our family was always provided guidance but never pushed in a direction that we were uncomfortable with. To the contrary, we felt that our family’s desired outcome was the only one that mattered. Even though our case has now been satisfactorily resolved, I have had needs to be in contact with Paeten Denning and still feel like a valued client.
Our family would recommend Denning Law to anyone needing representation in a case involving personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice, or any other required civil actions.

We are a small HOA. We hired Rick Davis to sue a problem homeowner to get him to comply with the HOA rules and pay for the damages he caused us. We were successful on all counts and could not be happier with the way things turned out.

I emailed Mr. Davis and requested an interview. He was agreeable to that provided I pay him $255 per hour. I appealed to his common sense, but without success. Like any prospective client, I wanted to know about his experience in matters such as mine, his availability, his expectations...you know, common questions of all clients. He informed me that not charging me for this info would be terribly unfair to all the others that iquired about his services .
Rick may be a terrific attorney for all I know. But his demands are totally unreasonable. Fortunately, he's not the only attorney around.

Best divorce and family law attorneys in Johnson County. Their expertise is bar none. Rachel is on top of her game. Listens, cares, and is a bulldog for her clients.

This law firm I would not recommend to anyone !!!!! I was in the hospital for months after having abdominal surgery ,
In which I was referred to Parmele for consultation and possible representation . I agreed to allow them access to my medical files for review to determine further action . In the interim and prior to surgery was working with disability help
Group to establish a case for benefits . Adam neidenberg was my attorney with disability help group . Parmele law firm attached themselves to my disability case and have asked for a percentage , after doing nothing ! They reviewed my case for medical negligence and declined to represent , but are holding to a percentage of establishing my disability case and it’s criminal at best ! Do NOT use them for anything ! The service from the very start was awful. I literally talked with the paralegal Ashley. So many times indicating you DONT represent me ,
But my signature to release my records was used to indicate some connection to receive payment to the point it is holding up my disability payout ! My true attorney felt so bad the with drew their request for payment ! Awful business

Tina and the rest of the staff are amazing! I finally feel like I have someone on my side. I have dealt with several attorneys that talk a big game and then just bill you for a ton of random things with no results. Tina and staff go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and taken care of. My divorce felt hopeless before Tina came on board, I can finally start to breathe 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.
