Casey is a fighter! She never gives up fighting for your best interest and keeps going until she gets the best outcome possible! She is passionate about her work and about assisting her clients on many levels. Her honesty sets her aside from most other attorneys as she lays out all options and puts her clients first. I have absolute trust and faith in her which is vitally important when you are faced with a difficult situation in your life and are feeling confused and helpless. She has extensive knowledge of the true workings of the law and all the ins and outs and is able to advise on not just what you should do but also what you shouldn’t do! Casey is the only attorney I would turn to if I ever need her exceptional service again!

I highly recommend Robbie Crosier and the entire team at this law firm. Robbie is incredibly intelligent, articulate and professional. I was looking for a lawyer who specializes in trademarking. I spoke to a few different law firms but I really connected with Robbie. I appreciated how thorough he was during our first conversation. I have had a great experience working with them.

Found this group through a friend and I’m so glad I did. I knew how important it was to get my business side for music together but didn’t know how to navigate it in a way that made sense to me. Not only has PKC Legal helped me figure things out, they have also set me up for the future and are extremely responsive for any question I may have in the process. I can’t recommend them enough. They are great people and they offer very fair rates for their work. You will not be disappointed! In fact you will be pleasantly surprised as I have. Now, you can find me comfortably DJing and making music 🎶

I couldn’t be happier with the results Casey was able to achieve! When I came to her I was completely stressed out. When she took my call she immediately made me feel better and that there was hope in getting my charges taken care of. Casey will always take her time with you be straight forward about the outcome she knows she can get. An absolute master at her craft! It was a long few months but in the end Casey was able to get my case no billed! Casey is confident in her work and all that energy and positivity will be something you can’t help but feel also. I’m thankful to have been able to have you on my side I’m forever grateful!!!

Casey helped me through a very dark period in my life. She told me with confidence that she would help me and my family through what I was facing. My charges were NO BILLED and DISMISSED. I don't know how I would have gotten through without her. Casey is professional, kind, and understanding and was a true warrior for me. For whatever reason you are here, she is the person you want in your corner. I will forever be grateful for her.

Danny Son first assisted me with my application for H1B1 Visa back in 2004 and he was on top notch making sure every single file was promptly taken care of. Danny also helped me with my initial green card application in 2005, then renewed my green card application last year and in 2019 took care of my naturalization. I just received my oath notice just only months after the application ( of coz he was the first to submit any applications, updates, follow up etc). I absolutely highly recommend Danny.. he is the best go to immigration attorney .. never had even a single hiccup along my whole immigration journey. He is also the most honest, down to earth, easy to work with attorney I have encountered. I work in real estate and I have experienced many lawyers in my career path for continuing education but Danny is definitely the most experienced immigration lawyer!!!

I've been in the oil and gas "surface land" industry for 13 years. Scott Doggett and his group at Baker Moran Doggett MA & Dobbs LLP are extremely knowledgeable as it pertains to issues regarding rights of public utilities, eminent domain, and the processes associated therewith. Not only do they provide this foundation of knowledge pertaining to such rights, but also serve in the capacity of being very creative in negotiating unique surface land issues. Scott's group has always made a conscientious effort to respect my company's project budgets, while never sacrificing project timing goals. The highest compliment that I can pay Scott and his group is that they have "made a customer for life".

Issue with neighbor harrasing us for no reason . We sued in civil court and won but nothing happened, we still never got our money after several years of waiting. We hired David and he got us our money. Of course it was a process but not take years, only months. Not cause of david but cause the courts kept rescheduling. David was a pitbull.

My wife & I required legal representation regarding a landlord acting in bad faith in withholding a security deposit. As part of my employment benefits package, we scheduled a free 30-minute consultation with Mr. Strain to discuss our options. Mr. Strain was prompt, efficient, & thorough in quickly assessing claims made by our landlord vs. what we were bound by in our lease. He clearly laid out all options for us, then gave us his personal recommendation for a plan of action based on what our objectives were. Despite providing a free service to a prospective client, Mr. Strain kept the conversation focused, productive, and made efficient use of our time. At no point did he suggest any "add-ons" or additional services that we did not need. Since this was a potential case for small claims court, any and all unnecessary expenditures were discouraged. We left Albin Yates Balius Roach and uniformly consented that they, and specifically Mr. Strain, would henceforth be retained for the review & compliance of our family legal documents. We can not recommend his services enough.

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.
