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!!!

I have dealt with numerous Attorneys with my real estate investments, and only with Bill did I feel that I had a person who really cared about my rough situation. I knew without a doubt he had my back the entire time! Bill gave me well researched and outstanding legal advice by taking the extra time and effort to give me all my options. With all the emotional turmoil/harassment going on, I knew I was off my A game and felt extremely clouded, but Bill made me feel relaxed and gave me strength/courage through one of toughest time in my life! it was comforting to feel supported and be grounded again so I could make good decisions. Mr. Kroll was outstanding in negotiations, and was always ready to act and power through at the exact right time (I am seeing timing is everything).. with his legal expertise there was no bluffing him from my opponents... and in fact they were eager to settle after a few talks! I speculate they knew he and his firm would have kicked their asses.
I would highly recommend Mr. Kroll to anyone who is looking for one of the strongest lawyers in the country... Bill helped me solve my delicate situation... and not to sound like an geico ad ... saved me a load of money as well! Thank you Bill.. I am grateful!

We we very nervous and scared when we consulted Bill. From day one he put us at ease, calmed us down and explain that sometimes in life we have to do things that go against our believes. Bill was always available to answer any question that we had. We hope to start anew again and want to thank him for giving us the light at the end of the tunnel. Antonio and Maria

Matt Lee was our "go to" guy for a lengthy and constantly changing
litigation that required a vigilant attorney to keep an eye on the elusive defendent. He kept us in the loop, kept the wheels moving forward, and advised the HOA on alternatives, solutions, and other legal matters . Easy to talk to and discuss problems. Always called or e-mailed a reply to our questions and concerns.
It was a long process for both Matt and our HOA Officers and Matt has always been there for us to consult with regarding our many concerns

Without Matthew Lee I'm not sure how I would have made it through the long journey of my lawsuit. His commitment to my case, constant support and tireless pursuit of justice brought me peace and calm during a traumatic time. I never second guessed his advice and knew his guidance was always in my best interest. Matthew's dedication and professionalism took a negative event in my life and turned it into a positive result with my lawsuit.
In my opinion there is no other lawyer that could compare to Matthew Lee.

Mrs. Lassiter represented my autistic brother in a modification of guardianship hearing. Having experience with her own special needs child, she got to see the dire situation my brother was in with his current group home. Not only did she show a genuine love and urgency for his well being, she took it upon herself to follow through with a complaint to the state on the conditions and treatment at the home. All of this done on her own, not because we asked her too because we hit roadblocks at every turn, but she did it on her own time. In a world which seems to be so misguided and upside down, it was nice to have a breath of fresh air with an angel in disguise. Now my brother is in a skilled home with caring people and the old home has lost its licensure. My hats off to her and she has earned my business for life for anything that falls in her realm of expertise.

Just a personal note to say, "Thank you so much for the way you handled my case. You did an amazing and remarkable job, as I suspected you would after my initial consult with you!! After 6 years of pure hell!! I am so grateful to God and you that things are turning around in our life.
Thank you for "looking out" for us and making sure we are protected, and that I wasn't taken advantage of again.
I truly appreciate your professional skills, gifts and talents, and your kindness and compassion, as well. I felt like you were looking out for us... I have never seen a lawyer do that!
The compassion, care and strength that I received from you was so important to me. At no time did I ever feel as though I was just "another client", but an individual with individual needs. The patience and understanding I received by you lessened my stress level and allowed me to focus on the most important reason I was there... my son.
I am convinced without a doubt that I couldn't have ever done it alone. I will be forever in debt to you.
So, for those parents out there who are ready to make the most important decision in their life, and that is, to always put your child(ren)'s needs above your own, even when it cost you blood, sweat, tears, pain, heartache and gold! Your second most important decision now awaits you, and if you choose wisely, I assure you that you'll be in good hands with Mikael Gross. Give them a call, and never give up.

I first called Michael from my elderly mother's hospital room. She experienced a horrific, on the job injury and was facing months of medical treatment and many more additional surgeries with a questionable outcome. He actually recommended I didn't need an attorney at that time as her needs were being met and it would not add value. Fast forward a year later and we are now in final settlement negotiations. We are overwhelmed with the process and felt we needed advice and counsel. He was generous with his time with me even though he knew we couldn't hire him because of conflict of interest issues. He provided invaluable information about the forms and filings we had ahead of us and referred us to an appropriate attorney to assist us. I will always remember is kind, compassionate and patient manner during a very difficult chapter in our family history.

He was personable, listened to me and answered any questions I had. Seemed very knowledgeable. Very. Just yesterday he almost pulled off a literal miracle, but as things go, the state didn't know what they were talking about. He was also doing my case as a public defender (thank god). While waiting to hear from the DA, with her waiting to hear from the arresting officer, he would check on me ever 5-10 minutes. From my experience yesterday, he was terrific. It was a lock that I was about to do 120 days, and he someone almost got me off

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.
