My wife and I retained Doug’s services to assist with a shareholder dispute involving my family business and my sibling. After many years in business I decided it was time to move on and needed professional legal advice on the best way to proceed. Doug understood the complexity and sensitivity of the matter and carefully explained the various legal options available to remedy this matter. In addition, he provided guidance and assistance with the sale of inventory and property. We found Doug to be extremely practical, business minded, caring and more importantly, responsive. If faced with a “business divorce” I would highly recommend his services.

I came to Nancy with intimidation and confusion with the law and how to handle a situation; a competing business opened up and I didn't know how to deal with exclusivity and non-competition in my plaza. Nancy thoroughly explained exactly how exclusivity works and what I needed to look for in the signed lease. She expertly clarified exactly how to handle the situation and what I need to know moving forward so that we don't make the same mistake again. I now know my rights and what I am entitled to by the law much more clearly.
Moving forward I feel a lot more confident with dealing with the law thanks to Nancy. Also, I have complete clarity on what my rights are, and how to move forward with my issue.
Nancy had very fast response times, and high integrity in my experience. Thank you for the help!

I was evaluating whether to convert my business to a franchise, so I reached out to Nancy Lanard. I have worked with a lot of lawyers in my 35 years in business and this was arguably my all-time best experience. Nancy REALLY knows the franchise business and will respectfully ask you the right questions...the questions that need to be answered before you proceed. She and her team are "Top-Notch" and provide exceptional council when evaluating a business opportunity. Nancy took into consideration my unique situation and gave me great counsel. You would be well served to retain Nancy and her team! Very refreshing experience. -Shel

Nancy Lanard went above an beyond for me. I could tell right form the first phone call they knew what they were talking about. If you are thinking about a franchise, I highly suggest you hire a franchise specific attorney before you sign a contract. unfortunately I did not do this and paid the price in the long run. That is where Nancy came in and gave me great advice.

I highly recommend Bill DeNardo for anyone needing legal representation. He always answers my phone calls and gets back very quickly, remembers his clients even years later, and has helped me out more than once. If anyone needs legal advice or representation, this is who you want on your side. I was in a pretty bad situation and I don’t know where I would be right now without Mr. Denardo. He is my go to legal counsel for any advice or representation for years now.

This law firm has been very beneficial. I was in a car accident in Philadelphia and injured my nose. I did not think I had a case because I didn’t have any major injuries to my neck and back. Boy was I wrong!! Carpey law was able to take on my case and I received compensation for my nose injury. I am very satisfied with this law firm and would recommend them to anyone that has been injured.

I retained this law firm with regard to lease negotiations for a new business. As you can imagine, opening a new business can be scary, stressful and eye opening. The attorney who handled my lease negotiation was Sara, and I felt extremely lucky to have her in my corner throughout the process. My emails and phone calls were quickly answered, and she always made herself available. Her professionalism and ability to make me feel like I was her only client was second to none. I always felt like she had my back like a family member would. I strongly recommend Lanard & Associates!

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.
