I've been using Matt Fiscus for nearly 10 years to handle all my real estate legal situations, as well as all my closings. I own 80+ properties and have sold 50+ more throughout the years. Matt has earned my complete trust to handle all my legal needs for my business. I don't think twice about his advice as he always has my best interest in mind. I have completed several hundred closings in the past decade. As far as I'm concerned, Matt's closing team is the best out there.

I've had bad experiences with other attorneys that match all the lawyer stereotypes you've likely heard or experienced. Unresponsive, ridiculous pricing, and outright arrogance. Matt came highly recommended from my accountant more than a decade ago and I've used his services for more than 30 real estate closings since then. I've referred him countless times to my friends and family for a variety of legal issues ranging from real estate closings, settlement questions, real estate legal issues, landlord / tenant questions, oil and gas contacts and even for my will. Everyone I've ever referred has always been as satisfied as I am. What separates Matt's firm from any I've ever dealt with are the depth of knowledge in many aspects of the law, reasonable prices, fast responses and honesty. No attorney is an expert at all areas of the law. If Matt isn't knowledgeable about a legal topic; he most certainly knows an attorney that is. I appreciate someone that is forthright about this and isn't trying to represent me when they know they aren't the best person for that case. Matt has earned all my business and has become a friend as well as someone whose advice I hold in the highest regard.

Sharon has successfully appealed 24 properties. She is easy to work with and very professional. Sharon responds to request with a sense of immediacy. I have referred her to other real estate investors and the reports back are stellar. I appreciate the fact that there is no cost to me unless she gets results and she gets results!

I am a commercial landlord with properties spread throughout Pennsylvania. After years of property tax increases, coupled with tax appeal losses, it became apparent that representation solely dedicated to commercial tax appeals became paramount. After refusing daily phone and mail solicitation, I decided to research for an attorney whom represented large landlords that enjoyed a substantial success rate with the property tax appeal and its process. Months of research led me to Sharon F. DiPaolo Esquire Partner Siegel Jennings Co.,L.P.A.Allison Park Pa 15101 in my hometown of Pittsburgh Pa. After a 10 minute phone conversation, I knew my research was not in vain. Having found an attorney educated in property values with a true compassion to get the values right, while supporting the landlord and challenging the property tax system. I highly recommend Sharon F DiPaolo Esquire for the following reasons. Sharon is a true leader in her field, very easy to talk with, prompt, efficient, kind and considerate, educated with compassionate in all manners. Sharon and her dedicated expertise will now relieve me, allowing me to focus on being a landlord, servicing my tenants with the best possible properties at the lowest possible cost.

I needed to have a will drawn up as well as Estate Planning. As I started to work with Matt, I knew he was a good choice. Matt had the expertise to make the entire process very easy to navigate. He helped to guide me through the process with ease as he was very knowledgeable about all of the information that was needed. He answered and clearly explained any questions that I had. His demeanor is very approachable, which is exactly what I was looking for in a lawyer. I was extremely happy with his services as well as the outcome. I will definitely use his services again when needed.

I initially sought a consultation with Mr. Stewart regarding a real estate matter. Mr. Stewart was immensely helpful in clarifying the nature of my legal situation, and offered sensible and straightforward advice on how to defuse what was (to me at least) an increasingly complicated dispute. When the other party in my situation become more unreasonable, he and his firm were there every step of the way to advise, assist, and reassure. I should add that Mr. Stewart was also both clear and reasonable regarding his fees, and went to some length to help contain costs and provide legal services within my budget. Ultimately, Mr. Stewart helped me safely navigate and successfully resolve what could have become a protracted, costly legal situation. I strongly recommend his services to anyone in need of legal advice or representation in his practice areas.

Phil has been essential to us as we have worked in investment real estate over the last 15 years. He's done two closings for us but more importantly he's been there whenever I have needed him. Just today I needed just a small question answered and called him around 3:15 knowing full well he most likely had a full afternoon and I probably wouldn't hear back until tomorrow. When my phone rang at 4:45, then, I was pleasantly surprised that he was there to answer my question. Nothing beats knowing that someone is there to help when needed. I will always use him for any real estate business that I have.

John C. did an excellent job calling me back almost immediately and taking time at no charge to discuss with me all my options including a succinct analysis of views from my side as well as the opposing party. He was able to essentially figure out what was going on before I told him. I felt put at ease, and my guess is I'll eventually switch this from Consulted to Hired. I should have known better regarding attorneys, it's far less costly to hire someone who is great at their work than someone who isn't but charges less. I've found his combination of pscyhological understanding paired with knowledge of the Pittsburgh area and elsewhere including specific people of which I have an issue to be extremely important. He already did the research, the other attorney didn't really bother, but if they did I would have been charged for thier learning which wouldn't come close to what Mr. Corcoran knew in knowing the people first hand and what they are like.

Matt was instrumental in guiding me through the process of obtaining a Limited Guardianship for my mother's estate, so that she would able to obtain the monthly annuity due to her from the US Navy, as a widow of a deceased Naval officer. This required the services of an attorney with a military certification, which is an area in which Matt is qualified to serve. The US Military does not accept a POA from the civil court as a means for me to handle my mother's financial affairs, due to her mental incapacity, and Matt represented me in order to obtain the necessary measures in accordance with the US Navy to fulfill that need. He handled the nature of my mother's disability with sensitivity and professionalism.

Andrew represented us in a rather hostile grandparent's rights dispute. We found Andrew after trying our luck with a flashy, expensive local firm and being handed a first year, inexperienced lawyer. We were feeling defeated and as parents astonished by the outcome. Andrew and his firm were a breath of fresh air. Andrew is experienced in all aspects of the law, professional, honest and above all calming. We were told up front the expense for his representation. We were pleasantly surprised to find he was reasonable as well as knowledgeable ! I had no issue reaching Andrew when we needed him via his personal cell phone or e-mail. The moment he entered the court room, his confidence and experience were evident and the outcome exceeded our expectations. I would recommend Andrew and his firm to anyone and without hesitation.

I could not have hired a more productive attorney. She is honest, fair, and knowledgeable in her field of guardianship and gets the job done effectively. She did not "pad" my bill or waste any legal time. Honestly; taking into account her efforts and the results she obtained; the billing was very fair. Jeanne is VERY CAREFUL not to waste her client's funds unnecessarily. (How many clients can say this about their attorney.) She is very intuitive re: dealing with complex judicial procedures. She is excellent at communicating with other difficult attorneys and knows how to handle stubborn and lazy court personnel. You will not be disappointed if you retain Jeanne ! She is not afraid of hard work. She provides clients with copies of all pleadings (filed by her and received from other entities.) She works long days and nights until she gets every aspect of your case handled thoroughly and properly. She always returns phone calls. To sum up this review; Jeanne is a, " woman who gets things done." Fred

Henry is a fantastic trial lawyer from start to end. Henry served as outside counsel for my company while I was Vice President and Associate General Counsel at Varian Medical Systems, in a very complex and difficult patent litigation in Pittsburgh, Pa. Henry was superb at initial case assessment and strategy, with a strong command of the facts and the law. Throughout the case, Henry’s intelligence and strong analytic and practical skills ensured we stayed on top of all strategic and procedural considerations. Henry is easy to work with – I could always have frank discussions of details and strategies. Even in very difficult discussions, I could count on Henry to listen to my input with complete confidence he’d always give me his honest assessment, such that we could always stay focused on the job at hand. Even with all the “sausage making” involved in a years-long IP litigation, Henry would never lose sight of the big picture. Henry is excellent at eliciting testimony and cross-examining witnesses. He has a natural questioning and argument style that goes over well with a jury. I wholeheartedly recommend Henry for IP and complex cases without reservation.

He didn't sugar-coat things. He was straight forward & even recited different laws & statues as he went over possible scenarios. He made us feel much better because he thinks things through. He was punctual & actually early when meeting up. We are confident knowing we have someone who cares & knows the law.

Mr Gray is very pleasant. He listens to concerns completely & focused on the matter at hand with a plan to back it up. When I talked to him, he discussed different view points & tactics. He didn't sugar-coat things. He was straight forward & even recited different laws & statues as he went over possible scenarios. He made us feel much better because he thinks things through. He was punctual & actually early when meeting up. We are confident knowing we have someone who cares & knows the law.

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.
