Absolute Scam and Unprofessional Behavior
Jeremy,
I hired you to help with a bogus speeding ticket, where I have clear dash cam footage showing my speed, location, and the officer’s actions before and after the stop. The officer claimed I was going 80 in a 45, wrote the wrong location of the stop, and the speed limit on that road was actually 55. My speedometer was at 61, clearly shown on the dash cam. Yet, you had the nerve to tell me you could “maybe” reduce the ticket to a 14-over, despite knowing the entire ticket was a joke.
After this ridiculous introduction, I called the very next day—over a month before the court date—and requested a refund. Your desk lady assured me I’d get a full refund. But today, I get a call telling me the case was continued (even though I fired you), and now you’re only offering half of my payment back because you “spent 20 minutes” on my case? That’s a load of crap.
Then, to top it off you have the audacity to threaten me with legal action if I dispute this scam through my bank. You’re not even competent enough to handle a simple case like this and now you’re acting like a crook. I honestly feel bad for your firm that you’re so desperate for this money, but I’ll be sure to keep on sharing my experience the community.
Keep the half—you clearly need it more than I do.
Shameful.

I spoke with Herb on the phone for over 30 minutes and though he doesn’t work on my type of case, he took the time to give me some suggestions on how to move forward and who to speak with. It’s hard to find lawyers who will take the time to do that any more. Thank you!

I got a DUI charge and was kicked off Uber Eats as a result. Uber Eats pays for my college through a scholarship program they have with Arizona State Online, so I had a lot on the line. Kevin explained to me from the beginning why I had a chance if I fought the case and understood my situation. Yesterday, my DUI was dismissed. I can now do Uber Eats again and reenroll in school for the summer. I’m beyond thankful. I strongly recommend Kevin Long as your attorney for his expertise, confidence, and thorough understanding.

I had the pleasure of working with this amazing team, a group of top-notch professionals who consistently deliver high-quality work. Their firm blends the efficiency of a larger organization with the welcoming atmosphere of a smaller one. Maria is a joy to work with—always responsive and proactive with such a cheerful and helpful disposition. Katie, the lead attorney on our file, has a sharp eye for detail and a solutions-oriented mindset, handling everything promptly and precisely. I was particularly impressed with their customer service; I never had to deal with voicemail or wait more than five minutes for a response. The front desk staff is outstanding too! Katie even took time out of her busy schedule to personally address our requests and was readily available by phone for any questions. I highly recommend this team!

I've hired Chris Peck several times now. As a real estate investor, he has helped me with several closings. Chris is unbelievably thorough. He has "caught" countless errors in contracts and other intricate details of properties.
Also Chris helped my nonprofit organization get formed properly... and then he personally donated to the cause!
I am so glad I met Chris Peck, and I hope you have the pleasure as well!

In my 20 years in banking I have aligned myself with a handful of exceptional referral partners. Chris is one of those trusted partners. Chris has done many commercial real estate closings for my clients through the years. His thorough title work goes above and beyond and he covers the challenges and potential risks in detail with the clients. Not only does he deliver this this excellent level of work, he does so at a great value compared with other firms I have worked with over the years. He has also done a personal (residential) closing for me that was handled in an excellent manner as well.

Absolute Scam and Unprofessional Behavior
Jeremy,
I hired you to help with a bogus speeding ticket, where I have clear dash cam footage showing my speed, location, and the officer’s actions before and after the stop. The officer claimed I was going 80 in a 45, wrote the wrong location of the stop, and the speed limit on that road was actually 55. My speedometer was at 61, clearly shown on the dash cam. Yet, you had the nerve to tell me you could “maybe” reduce the ticket to a 14-over, despite knowing the entire ticket was a joke.
After this ridiculous introduction, I called the very next day—over a month before the court date—and requested a refund. Your desk lady assured me I’d get a full refund. But today, I get a call telling me the case was continued (even though I fired you), and now you’re only offering half of my payment back because you “spent 20 minutes” on my case? That’s a load of crap.
Then, to top it off you have the audacity to threaten me with legal action if I dispute this scam through my bank. You’re not even competent enough to handle a simple case like this and now you’re acting like a crook. I honestly feel bad for your firm that you’re so desperate for this money, but I’ll be sure to keep on sharing my experience the community.
Keep the half—you clearly need it more than I do.

Clifford law firm was to represent my son in 2 counties both wake and sampson. He showed up once in wake none in sampson after being paid to be my son's rep. I would not hear from him nor my daughter in law would see him attend to business. The man mumbles and I could not understand most of what he was saying even though he was apprised I am hard of hearing. 20 months and nothing he said he would do was done. I even hesitate to give one star he deserves none.

My husband and I are first time homebuyers, and the best decision we made (other than the house itself) was picking Midtown law as our closing attorney. Jason did our closing, while Matt and Angie surprised us with champagne at the table. Jason was so thorough, answering all of our questions and telling us the major things we need to know. Angie&Matt made our closing experience stand out. They made us feel so special and important. Throughout the entire closing process Angie’s team was on top of everything!! they kept us up to date with where we were at, telling us what we could expect. I swear they don’t clock out, everyone made themselves available on nights and weekends very much outside of business hours. This just shows how they go above and beyond to make your closing happen. All the paralegals were fantastic, especially their funder. She let us know the SECOND we were recorded. Seriously the best. I could not recommend this team more!! If you want a seamless closing process with the most attentive people—you need Midtown Law. Thank you again ! ☺️

Bob Morton was one of the worst attorneys i have dealt with. He told me he was going to settle my case. A neighbor had taken part of my property. He said he was going to research it. He said he would let his legal secretary do a lot of the research to save me money. Not true. Every week he was asking me for more money. He did not question why the surveyor suddenly said he may have made a mistake on surveying my property after he said he was sure the property was mine. He said if the other surveyor said I was wrong maybe I was. Mr. Morton was terrible in solving or helping me. He cost me a tremendous amount of money, then quit on me. Come to find out, he was wrong. The property was mine. A tree fell and the stake was under the tree. I lost over 100k not including close to 80k in attorneys fees. I lost a triangle of property, 8 ft by several hundred feet. I felt like was he cash cow, every week wanting more money but never doing anything to help the situation.

I couldn’t have asked for better representation. I contacted Bob to help me with a very complex real estate matter that involved a fairly bellicose adverse party. His erudition, professionalism, and tact in handling this case resulted in a successful and timely outcome. He managed to take a conflict that I had been dealing with for over a year, and had it successfully settled within a little over a month’s time. I don’t think this could have been accomplished if not for his insightful approach. In a word, his representation was exemplary. I highly recommend his services.

Working with Katrina Smith has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my entire life. She walked me through the Trademark and Copyright process and took the time to thoroughly audit my website and brand, along with helping me successfully file my very first trademark!
Not only is Katrina super attentive to my needs as a business, but she has that personal touch that is tremendously important especially when it comes to sensitive matters like your intellectual property. Katrina even helped me with creating the unique formation of my business name, just going to further show you how she is genuinely invested in the success and wellbeing of my business and its future.
I highly recommend Katrina to anyone who is looking for a passionate, attentive and incredibly talented and professional trademark and intellectual property attorney and advocate. I’ve learned so much about how to protect my business while working with Katrina and this kind of service that she provides is truly one-of-a-kind. I recommend her to anyone I can!

Having a reliable, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and empathetic attorney to help with employment issues has been invaluable to me--and Holly is that attorney. She has provided me with peace of mind and treated me with respect and empathy during some difficult career transitions. Uniquely, she is detail-oriented while also seeing the big picture and always listens to my concerns and questions without ever being condescending or dismissive. I highly recommend Hammer Law for anyone who needs help with legal employment matters. She will treat you with the dignity and honesty you need when faced with professional uncertainty.

Ms. Brumback was the lead attorney on a team that defended a large national Architectural firm in a complicated claim brought by a very aggressive health care institution's legal team.
At all times, Ms. Brumback patiently and competently led our firm through the process. Our firm had been very successful over the many years it had been in operation in avoiding such claims and, as a result, required much guidance from the legal team in assisting in our own defense.
I, personally, and the firm, generally, would recommend Ms. Brumback to any design firm in need of an excellent defense.

I returned a product to a store owner and he claimed he would issue me a credit on my credit card once his credit card machine was working again. He never did after multiple phone calls and then sent me a bad check. Melissa wrote him a letter to "put the fear of God (or fear of lawyers, perhaps)" into him, which seemed to work, since he finally sent me a check for my refund that cleared.

Ms. Brumbach represented my firm on two separate occasions. The first as a member of a legal team who defended us against a former client. Rather than meet to discuss the concerns in person, this client was persuaded by an aggressive law firm to resolve the matter through the courts. Their incentive being the expectation of a large insurance settlement from a policy we carried at the time.
The second was as our attorney in a suit to collect fees from a client who withheld final payment for work we performed. Rather than meet to discuss, this client ceased communication.
In both instances she became familiar with the facts very quickly and developed a well conceived plan for both our defense and the merits of our claim.
We would not hesitate to engage her if the need arose once again.

We have used Donna for several years for our personal and professional needs. She is incredibly knowledgeable and advocates for her clients. We are a small family without large assets, but Donna and her team have always been generous with their time and given us the attention and advice we needed.
She helped us close several mortgages and a sale of our house, which would not have closed without Donna and her team going above and beyond (the buyer's attorney was clueless).
She has handled our estate planning, as well as healthcare powers of attorney. We have a unique family situation, and Donna's knowledge of NC law helped us create custom documents that have brought us tremendous peace of mind.
We highly recommend Donna.

I have been working with Donna for many years now and she has become an absolutely essential part of my team and a truly trusted partner.
She always takes my calls (early, late, weekends) and if she can't, she gets back to me very quickly -- as if I were her only client. She almost always knows the answers, but if she doesn't she knows the right people to contact. I know that she won't quit until the job gets done. And above all, I know that Donna is always working in my best interests and will always go above and beyond to ensure I am covered from a legal standing.
I could not more highly recommend Donna.

I had several speeding tickets in NC dating back to 2001. I contacted Ms Bostrom and she immediately got back with me and we planned out a strategy to pursue these tickets. Seeing that the tickets were in several counties, Ms Bostrom had to do a bit of leg worked to make contact with several small county DAs. That was not an obstacle for her!
When all was said and done, Ms Bostrom somehow was able to get me out of a ticket that carried a possible suspension of my license,etc. I was able to pay other tickets and fines through Ms Bostrom and that was really great, seeing that I now live in New Jersey.
We communicated on the phone and via email and she was always forthright in what the possible scenarios entailed.
I'd suggest that you retain Ms Bostrom's services because she is that good. Thank you.

I received a speeding/revoked license ticket about 2 years ago while employed with a transit company. In order not to lose my job and my remaining driving privileges I was ordered to attend a driving class. Mrs. Bostrom was a great helper in getting me the information I needed in a fast and timely matter. Once class was paid for and completed I received a certificate as verification and Mrs. Bostrom presented it to the right person and charges were dismissed. She is SO great!!!

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.

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.

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:

- 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.
