I am so happy to share that after 6 years of putting off a divorce, it is finally over with. Uncontested made the entire thing easier than doing your taxes. A few questions you have to fill out and then they take over. As with everything else that is sold online as a service, I originally thought this was fake, a gimmick or just a scam. We'll it definitely isn't. I paid for the premium service (documents, filing, final hearing and court fees), filled out all the documents and I was basically done. I did have a couple questions at start, they contacted me within 48 hours of me requesting help and took care of the worries I had. We did the notary portion within a couple days and we're done. They contacted me and let me know that the process was in the 60 day waiting period before it goes before a judge on June 26th, 2024. The human mind always wanders and I had worries and doubts. August 27th, 2024, I received an email congratulating me that the 60 days were over, no changes were made, and that it was time to put it through to a judge. I was picking up food today, September 4th, 2024, and while I was just browsing youtube, I got a notification of a VIP email. The divorce decree was completed and signed by the judge. I can honestly say that after 4 days shy of a 15 year marriage (the last 6 we've been separated, the last 4 we've lived 3700 miles away from each other), I am happier now than at any point of the marriage. THANK YOU UNCONTESTED.

Mr. Knowlton is the lawyer I would’ve liked to hire. I wasn’t able to obtain his services due to county jurisdiction. However, he was informative, extremely helpful, and straight forward.

Where do i start? Amazing Law Firm and let me just say how professional Robert Swensen was with me, told me everything that was going to happened and how it was going to happened. He even went over and Beyond the call of duty, when I called him after hours he picked up and spoke with me, I don’t get that from lawyers, I usually get the answer machine and wait 2-3 business to get a response, but Robert was different he was on my case as soon as he got it in front of him. he always helped me with question and concerns I had. I was very confident and comfortable with Mr. Swensen, and they also have multiple ways to pay, which was very convenient for me. If you need a law firm, THE COOK LAW FIRM IS THE WAY TO GO. Wait no more they are QUICK AND HONEST and will get the job done ✅ Thank You 🙏 so much for helping me with my Divorce Mr. Swensen

Thankfully, I have not had much cause to hire a lawyer until a few years ago. That being said, I now have had quite a bit of experience with attorneys and feel equipped to give a candid review of Mr Ireland. If you are in need of a Family Law Attorney, you will likely agree with me that hiring the right person is crucial, when the wellbeing of your loved ones is at stake. TRULY ... LOOK NO FURTHER than Michael Ireland! I believe my case to be quite involved and not your run of the mill scenario and Michael Ireland has handled every aspect of the case with grace and a keen attention to detail! From filing motions to contentious depositions, it is my belief that Michael Ireland will represent you in a way that will leave you impressed and appreciative. He is brilliant and has outshined any lawyer I have seen him work with or go up against. Michael Ireland is a class act! I hope to never need him again - but he is my go-to-attorney! You have a lot of choices in San Antonio - choose wisely! Choose Michael Ireland.

I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Mr. Arguelles and Mr. Lambert for literally saving my life. I got accused of something super serious (even though it wasn’t true), I could have been separated from my family forever. But these two awesome attorneys believed me and helped me prove my innocence. They're the real MVPs! If you ever need some top-notch defense attorneys, definitely hit them up!

I had the privilege of having Dr. Baez represent my husband on a parole revocation case. I must say his dedication to his clients is unparalleled. From the moment I sought his counsel, it was evident that he was not just another attorney, but a fierce advocate for justice. He leaves no stone unturned in pursuit of the best possible outcome. We achieved a favorable resolution in our case. I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone in need of legal representation. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will fight tirelessly for your rights, look no further than Dr. Baez, he is a champion for justice.

Dr. Baez has been an invaluable gift from God! We connected through my family that know him personally from church. Dr. Baez has provided me with a fatherly-guidance since the first day we met. A true mentor with an extensive understanding of Biblical teachings that always appear customized for you specifically. I have been reminded by Dr. Baez what a true Man of God says and does in daily life once again. To say that this man is a stellar lawyer truly does not do him justice. His approach to each case displays a surgical precision like no other! Dr. Baez will forever be in my family prayers. We are truly grateful for this Warrior of God to be a part of our lives! Thank you, Dr. Baez, for everything you have done for me and my family!

In the midst of a difficult time, he demonstrated professionalism, dedication, and a true commitment to ensuring that my family and I were taken care of. His prompt response to our needs, combined with his clear communication throughout the process, gave us a sense of security and relief during a time of uncertainty.
His expertise and swift action not only helped us navigate our situation but ultimately allowed us to overcome the obstacles we were facing. His efforts truly made a difference in our lives, and for that, I am immensely grateful.
I honestly do not know how to adequately thank him for all that he have done for us. His kindness and diligence have had a profound impact, and we are sincerely appreciative of his unwavering support.
Thank you once again for your outstanding assistance. You have not only helped us out of a challenging situation but have also restored our faith in the power of skilled legal representation.

My mother passed away last year and didn’t have a will unfortunately. My family and I hired Mr. Butterbaugh after he initially explained the process. We knew what to expect and always knew where we were in the process. It took time as expected but we eventually got through the process and we were able to get access to my Mother’s assets. Mr. Butterbaugh made it as smooth as possible and I highly recommend him if you find yourself in a similar situation.

I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Butterbaugh for more than 20 years on my return to Texas from Hawaii where I was a practicing orthodontist. My goal at the time was to review my overall estate plan when I met with David and I'm so glad I did. I needed trust and will modifications and with the passing of my wife very recently, I'm so glad I did. David's efforts in taking the case through probate were extraordinarily efficient and I'm totally grateful for his professional efforts. He offered his professional services at a very efficient and financially responsible service. Greatly appreciated!

I am honored to write in praise of Justin P. Nichols, Attorney at Law.
I conferred with Mr. Nichols on a Saturday, and he was remarkably intelligent, thorough, and kind to me as a stranger grieving his partner.
Mr. Nichols was very patient and explained things in detail. As a fine listener, he was always sensitive to the difference between what advice I had been given, what I was saying and what I (sometimes did not know) I needed to consider and do. I am grateful Mr. Nichols also gave me time (on a Saturday no less) to articulate my sense of his advice. He patiently corrected my errors and gave support when I remembered things correctly.
More than a resourceful professional and an experienced “idea person,” Mr. Nichols evinced sensitivity to my concerns and issues and their emotional resonance. In short, Mr. Nichols’ sage advice and sensitivity inspired me to try to retain him for a second job.
This attorney is very well-versed and very wise. Mr. Justin P. Nichols emanates trustworthiness and integrity and I recommend him to you wholeheartedly.

We called Justin Coquat of Traffic Ticket SA regarding a speeding ticket for our teenage daughter she received in Bulverde, TX. We do not have much experience with traffic ticket lawyers, but we felt comfortable with his firm the first time we called them for help. The front office is friendly and professional. Our calls and/or emails were answered every time. Justin is a true professional, kind and respectful. He definitely cares for his clients and their situations. Never did we feel he was in it just for the $$. Justin was able to deliver results far beyond our expectations for my daughter's citation. Thanks, Justin! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Mr. Martinez first assisted me after my grandfather passed away helping my mother through the process of probate court. He also assisted with my mothers Will and other legal documents for her. He most recently helped me resolve a financial issue negatively impacting my credit. I live in Houston and my mother in San Antonio. Each time, Hector and his office have been kind, thorough and attentive to me and my mothers needs. He is great to work with and keeps you up to date on every aspect of the process. Though I live in Houston, I will definitely use him again in the future!

I cannot say enough good things about Clepper Harrison & Duffy PLLC. From start to finish, I experienced the upmost professionalism and compassion. I ended every interaction with confidence and certainty. At the end of every call, Chanda and I both had clear expectations on what to do next--I had my tasks, she had hers, and every time we followed up, we were on the same page. She and her team are highly prepared, proficient, prompt, and consistent. I appreciated that the billing information was explained so well that I never felt like I had to wonder how much things were going to cost. I was billed on the 1st and the 15th of every month, and I personally loved that consistency. Although I have never worked with attorneys before, my personal opinion was that their fees were extremely fair and honest. Each bill had a running record of every item they completed, with times, dates, and explanations. I loved their practicality of providing phone calls and zoom calls, rather than meeting in person. My whole divorce was handled over phone calls/zooms and I never had to step foot into a court room. Although everyone's experience is different, I was able to complete an amicable, uncontested divorce that was finalized in just over 60 days. Without the help of Chanda and her team, there is no way I would have been able to do this on my own. I was very pleased with my outcome, which is astounding that I am even writing this sentence, because I am a person who never thought divorce was an option. If you're reading this and feel as though you have gotten to the point where divorce is now your only option, know that you will be fully taken care of by Clepper Harrison & Duffy PLLC.

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.
