Attorney Buck helped me right out of the gate and my result was excellent. His ability to extract client details of a case, evidence and formulate a strategy and cross examination was key to my positive case results. He is young, but his credentials and schooling are impressive. I am currently using him again on another case as he has gained my trust based on the first case results.

Kristin Teufel (Esquire) is a Lundy Law Lawyer that embraced my injury case with the following: (1) compassion for my three broken ribs and balloon type elbow contusion, (2) provided information pertaining to medical & legal procedures which eliminated confusion & prepared me for the upcoming processes, (3) after two years, Ms. Teufel's monitoring of the healing process was completed, (4) efficiently organized procedural tactics which ensured an immediate acceptable settlement agreement by the insurance company & myself and (5) after three months following the settlement, a "follow up" was required for disconcerted accusations made by the Rawlings Company (medical insurance), “Your attorney has not responded to our inquiries, nor has he or she acknowledged representation of you.” This was totally an inaccurate statement because I received copies of letters that transpired between the Rawlings Co. & Ms. Teufel's office. Therefore, Ms. Teufel immediately put her professionalism to work with the following statement, "I will take care of it for you." and a resolution letter to the Rawlings Co. made it all disappear.
My reply letter to Ms. Teufel contained the following statement:
Kristin Teufel this is how I see you “Successful”
“Success is not measured in dollars and cents, but rather in terms of how determined you are to persevere, how committed you are to maintain an unbending integrity and how willing you are to stay the course when surrounded by doubters.”

Never had an attorney other than Sheldon who considered EVERY option, way beyond just litigation. The goal was how to efficiently resolve a dispute through negotiation that evidenced a collegial approach to conveying why the opponents and their counsel should be VERY WORRIED. This is a smooth, not slick, advocate who, in deps or trial, lays a virtually hypnotic path toward the unexpected implosion of a witness. I have watched him establish a series of seemingly harmless admissions by a SMART person whose testimony just methodically lead to the precise opposite proclamation than the respondent meant to convey. Simply put, the witness "accidentally" told the truth before he realized what had happened. Sheldon cares, and he produces favorable results. Nuff said?

To whom it may concern:
I engaged Josh Marks for a Residential Real estate closing. Collaborating with Josh was nothing short of outstanding. From the onset of the closing, Josh went above and beyond the call of duty. This was a FSBO closing so his guidance was not only needed but it was impactful.
Josh was very thorough in his explanation of all matters related to the closing. He went through all of the necessary documents line by line so I could understand every aspect of the process. In sum, he helped facilitate a seamless transaction. I would recommend Josh to anyone looking for an attorney in a business or real estate setting.

I hired Josh for a residential purchase. He recommended a reliable home inspector and title company and worked with me at my convenience. He responded to my questions and concerns in a professional and timely manner. The fee for his services is reasonable. The purchase went very smooth and it was a good experience working with Josh. I would hire him again in the future and recommend his services for anyone.

I didn't have much experience with Josh, but he provided some quick legal advice on a real estate transaction. He was very helpful and knowledgeable and took time to speak with me even though he determined that his services were not needed at the moment. I certainly plan to contact Josh if and when I need real estate legal advice.

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.
