A while back I was in need of a lawyer to handle a tax issue I was having. I must admit that it literally kept me up at night, and seemed impossible to overcome. I reached out to Mr De Luna and he immediately made me feel at ease. He explained everything he was going to do and gave me a reasonable price. He communicates through out the whole process and his team his wonderful to work with. Pam and Laura are very good at what they do, very friendly and caring. I highly recommend Mr De Luna and his staff.

I would like to say, I was referred to Emmons law firm, from a family friend . Mr. Emmons, took my case on for a family violence case . He was helpful from the very beginning before I hired him , he was honest and gave me plenty of options to think about . I just want to say I'm more than pleased with how my case turned out . I honestly feel Mr. Derek Emmons is a good family man and some one I'm very grateful for having on my side . I truly believe with conversations and his preparedness and the way he handled my situation I couldn't have found any one any better. I just want to say thank you for helping me . Some of the things he shared from his personal life experiences helped me and really made me look at things differently . I highly recommend Emmons law firm, to any one in need of a excellent legal representation.
Thank you .

Brian Walters expertly guided me through a multi-year custody case that was only resolved after a week-long jury trial was held. At trial, Brian was uniquely able to convey empathy towards the other parent while still delivering the hard facts of the case. I believe this resonated with the jury as they were being asked to make a decision that reflected the best interests of the child and not the best interests of either parent. In my personal case, and I suspect in most custody cases, it is easy to demonize the other parent for what they did to you and how their actions are continuing to hurt your parent-child relationship. From my perspective, this is why it is invaluable to retain a legal team that is emotionally intelligent in how they present the facts of the case. Brian was incredibly adaptive when speaking with witnesses and able to effectively anticipate and respond to comments from opposing counsel. Brian unquestionably focused and presented on the best interests of the child and I am beyond grateful to have been able to work with him and his firm.
Logan Kilgore joined our team towards the end of multi-year custody case and brought a refreshing positivity in an otherwise draining situation. Logan swiftly appraised herself of the case and I immediately felt secure not only with her professionalism but more significantly in her level of care. Throughout the case Logan listened to my concerns, stayed focused on the child’s best interests, and used all resources available to accurately convey those concerns during a temporary order hearing and during a week-long jury trial. At trial, I was humbled by Logan’s ability to manage exhibits, coordinate and examine witnesses, and communicate with all involved parties. Further, she was able to accurately recall specific details of the case and then pull factual evidence from the exhibits to directly disprove statements made by witnesses or opposing counsel in a manner that still conveyed empathy to the other parent. Logan’s extensive preparation and emotional intelligence during delivery were instrumental in this case and I consider myself incredibly blessed to have worked with Logan and Walters-Gilbreath, PLLC.

I can't say enough good things about everyone at Graham Family Law, I wish I had known about them and how good they are before I hired the firm across the street. I hired Rob Biggers with Graham Family Law after I had to fire the Attorney I went to first for her negligence and failure to actually work my case. Without Rob's help I would be homeless right now. NO JOKE. Rob is an outstanding Attorney that will always respond and not leave you hanging and wondering what's going on. He is also well versed with the obstacles and challenges with OPM and the facilitation of changes named in the Final Decree that are faced by Civilians working for or retired from the Federal Government.
Another great thing about Graham Family Law is their receptionist Courtney is awesome. When she says she'll get something done, it GETS done. She is on top of everything and is also one of the nicest persons you will ever meet.
In short, I don't believe you will find a better team to help you should you find yourself in the horrible thing called divorce.
Respectfully
Andrew F. Gilkey

Highly recommended this law firm to handle any and all of your family law matters. They will work tirelessly to achieve your goals. I personally retained this law firm on several occasions because I knew that they wanted to win just as much as I did. If you’re fortunate enough to retain Mr. Biggers you will more than likely win your case as he is by far what I would say a very knowledgeable attorney and will go to great lengths to achieve your goals! I hardly ever do these reviews so it goes to show how much I appreciate their dedication and results. Do yourself a favor and one, let them handle the stress and two, you won’t break the bank with this law firm. 10/10 would recommend!

I want to personally thank The Schafer Law Firm for their diligent work in my grandmother's eviction case!! Her property management company tried to throw a 93 year old woman out of her own home for making viable and valid complaints, and luckily my friend referred me to him. David Schafer wasted no time getting to work taking care of her and my family’s needs! I was already stressed out as a single mom taking care of this while completing my last semester of college to earn my bachelors degree, and Schafer certainly took this stress off of me! I will always be grateful to The Schafer Law Firm and will utilize his services when needed and will continue to refer to ALL my family and friends!

I recently had the pleasure of consulting with Sylvia Cavasos regarding some serious charges of false claims made against me. From the outset, Sylvia's expertise was evident; she provided me with a thorough, confident consultation, outlining various strategies and options tailored to my specific situation.
Sylvia's knowledge of the law was not only comprehensive but also communicated in a manner that was clear and reassuring. Her ability to navigate complex legal landscapes with such professionalism made all the difference during a challenging time. She listened attentively to my concerns, offering insightful advice that was both actionable and reassuring.
Her approach to my case was marked by an exceptional level of expertise and a genuine commitment to her clients' well-being. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend Sylvia Cavasos to anyone in need of legal counsel. Her dedication to her clients is truly commendable, and I look forward to potentially working with her again in the future.
Thank you, Sylvia, for your exceptional service and support.

Contentious divorce and custody battles don't just affect the immediate family; they ripple out, impacting extended families and friends. As someone who loves and supports a family member going through such a difficult time, I experienced firsthand the emotional toll these situations can take. We often become the ones helping carry the burdens created by the breakdown of a family.
As the brother of a Soulsby Law client, I feel compelled to leave this review—not only to express my gratitude for the tremendous work they did on my brother’s case but also to encourage others to refer their loved ones to the Soulsby Law Firm if they're facing similar challenges.
From the very beginning, the experience with Soulsby Law was exceptional. My brother had reached out to several attorneys before contacting Soulsby, but he knew immediately that this was the right fit. Stephanie, the front desk receptionist, was kind, patient, and professional. She made him feel at ease and promptly set up his meeting with Kate, which was the start of a life-changing process.
I’ll never forget the excitement in my brother’s voice after his first meeting with Kate. He told me, “I’ve found the attorney I need.” Kate was attentive, confident, and compassionate—not just during that initial meeting, but throughout the entire process. Her unwavering dedication and expertise ensured that my brother achieved the results he needed: more time with his children and a say in their medical care.
Of course, great outcomes are the result of teamwork, and Kate’s team is phenomenal. Amy was in constant contact with my brother, keeping him updated on developments and breaking down complex legal issues in a way that was easy to understand. Her calm demeanor was a source of reassurance during what could have been a storm of uncertainty.
And then there’s June, whom my brother affectionately referred to as “Kate’s Filing Cabinet.” Her ability to organize, recall, and present relevant information during court preparations and proceedings was nothing short of legendary.
Having been involved in combat sports my whole life, I’ve learned the importance of preparation. Walking onto the mat unprepared leaves you anxious and vulnerable, but stepping up with the confidence of thorough training changes everything. Thanks to Kate and her team, my brother walked into the courtroom prepared and confident, knowing he was in good hands.
I’m deeply grateful to the Soulsby Law Firm for helping my brother gain more time with his children. Their work has had a profound impact on all of us—because of them, I now get to see my niece and nephew more often. For anyone navigating the challenges of divorce or custody, I can’t recommend Soulsby Law highly enough.
I hope they have the day they deserve...which would be a day full of happiness!

I want to take a moment to sincerely thank Mr. Abel Dominguez and his team at The Law Office of Abel Dominguez for their exceptional help with my custody case involving my sons. Before working with Mr. Dominguez, I had a disappointing experience with a previous law firm that overcharged me significantly and failed to deliver the results I needed. However, when Mr. Dominguez took over my case. Everything changed for the better.
From the very beginning, Mr. Dominguez was eager to help and quickly understood how important my children’s safety and well-being were to me. His kindness, understanding, and genuine desire to fight for my family gave me hope and confidence during a challenging time.
When it came to court, Mr. Dominguez was incredibly methodical and well-prepared. Every time the opposing attorney tried to throw challenges his way, he was ready. His wisdom, professionalism, and ability to stay ahead were invaluable in resolving the case and ensuring my children’s safety.
Not only did Mr. Dominguez delivered outstanding legal representation, but he also did so at a very reasonable price, especially compared to my previous experience. He worked with me and showed great compassion, making it clear that he truly cares about his clients and their families.
I also want to commend Ms. B, his secretary, who is an incredible asset to the firm. She was always responsive, helpful, and attentive to every detail of my case. Her professionalism and dedication made the process much smoother, and I can’t thank her enough.
Mr. Dominguez and his team went above and beyond for me and my sons, and I will always be grateful. If you’re looking for someone you can trust to handle your case with care, professionalism, and expertise, I highly recommend The Law Office of Abel Dominguez. Trust the process, follow their guidance, and know that they will fight for you just as they did for me.
I also want to bless their business with this scripture:
"May Yahuah (God is My Salvation) bless you and guard you; may Yahuah make His face shine upon you and show favor to you; may Yahuah lift up His face upon you and give you peace." (Numbers 6:24-26)
Thank you again, Mr. Dominguez and Ms. B, for everything you’ve done for me and my family.

Excellent Lawyer, efficient and Highly professional!
I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Aida Rojas-Moore for my divorce and I cannot recommend her enough. From the very beginning she was incredibly communicative and kept me informed throughout the entire process. She made what could have been a stressful experience smooth and fast (like lightning), handling everything efficiently and with great care.
Her professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication really stood out. She made sure I understood each step, answered all my questions promptly, and ensured that everything was taken care of quickly. I’am so grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled and caring lawyer.
Thank you, Attorney Aida Rojas-Moore for your outstanding work.
I would also like to extend my gratitude to the amazing staff who supported me throughout the process. Their professionalism and assistance were invaluable.
Thank you so much
And happy holidays,
Joel Barnedo

I had no knowledge of how to begin nor what steps to take for getting a divorce and they completely blew me away with how knowledgeable and supportive they were.

I will definitely recommend them to everyone!

We contacted Bryan Woods to represent us in a case against the builder of our home.
Mr. Woods took our case and worked diligently to prepare an excellent case that was also backed up with expert inspections, reports, and opinions.
Mr. Woods has excellent legal knowledge of laws pertaining to property transactions and negotiation skills. We cannot thank Mr. Woods enough for his work that will now enable us to move on with our lives. Mr. Woods and his legal staff were always available to answer our phone calls and emails, and willing to discuss with us all the available options available to us during the various stages of this case. A special thanks is also owed to Jennifer on his team, who not only stayed on top of our case paperwork, showed empathy to us as homeowners going through this stressful process. She is a real asset to Mr. Wood’s legal team.
We highly recommend Mr. Bryan Woods to anyone who may be going through similar situation. We know he will work your case to the best of his ability to ensure that you are given an equitable outcome.

As a retired veteran , I would give Alex Salazar 10 stars if I could. The staff at Law Office of Steven C Benkelaw offices are the absolute best. I had made a call for a quick consult before the office almost closed. The reception was great in having Alex call me after hours. I had felt really threatened that my kids would leave on a trip and not come back. After the phone call I went to go see him for an initial consult and we discussed my case further. I had consulted other law offices for about a month and felt I needed to Go with Mr Salazar after being repeatedly harassed my spouse.
I feel he went above & beyond in the separation agreement proceedings with a mentally abusive narcissistic. Between Mr Salazar and Stacy Hernandez they made the situation the best it could possibly be. They both were always calm under pressure and Mr. Salazar was able to quickly and efficiently diffuse panic situations. They both understood and empathized for me and my situation. I truly felt I had an advocate in my corner from the moment I met them.

I would NOT recommend Enrique Alex Salazar, he charged me a $200 consultation fee to go over an issue. At the end of the consultation meeting, I told him I would like to hire him so therefore he asks me for documents he would like to see and will remove the $200 consultation fee if hired.
I’ve called him and texted him and has yet to replied. I called his office and his secretary told me that he is too busy to take my case, but I guess he wasn’t too busy to take my $200 consultation money. Even the receipt reads that it’s a refundable consultation fee

If I could give 0 stars I would. Absolutely THE problem when it comes to attorneys this day and age.(maybe it’s just with men). If you want a game where you're being strung along and billed forever playing the rollercoaster game with you and your children's life instead of evidence being presented in a costly/timely and empathetic manner THIS IS YOUR GUY. Mr. Bancroft, i just got off the phone with you where you hung up on me stating that I’m threatening you. Get over your ego and realize that your business as a practicing attourney needs realignment. I wrote you about a standing invoice you provided totaling to less than the amount that Ive paid to you months prior with no response. After speaking to your paralegal, then being transferred to your “billing dept.” and speaking to them I was provided with a newer invoice…..with newer charges, where whomever was working before had originally just simply “forgot to send me the invoice”….what a convenient coincidence. After speaking with her, I was transferred to you where I had a conversation with your ego. Well, from the little guy(s) down here Mr. Bancroft, do whats right and fabricating invoices to skip out on paying balances owed on any moneys paid to you for the services that you DID NOT PROVIDE are just not that. Client paid $1750 in retainer fees(half of your 3500 to get the case started) and had to chase said attourney down for enquiries with little to no communications outside of ones that were initiated by me/client, INCLUDING in person conversation with YOU where I unexpectedly paid a visit to your office in August after I could not successfully contact anyone and asked about a status of my case. You did not recall my case by name until we went to your office and you searched my name.(keep in mind, this is three months after contracting). Attourney invoicing per attourney-client portals all state work for balance of $753, with latest payment from client being $631 in October.(this never happened, only payment made was the initial one and didn't make another due to subpar and in my opinion MALPRACTICAL, I'm aware that isn't an official word, service). After a few months of calling and majorly being placed on hold, back and forth’s with promises of returned calls or motions with paralegals, multiples of them and finally being frustrated with the reality of paying an attourney and not being fought for……while fighting a vindictive situation with my children as a GREAT DAD I asked for an explanation stating that if I did not hear anything as ai had been I wanted to discontinue services and be refunded via message inside of the client portal, I THEN was given a response…..but not with accountability, not with a plan of action, not to communicate any valuable evidence or structured plan of action, but to speak downward of me on the “dismal” months of non-payment……….ultimately this attourney demanded I paid him his past due amount, in addition to totals for mediations that hadn't even been had yet to avoid him WITHDRAWING. Needless to say I attended the mediation PRO SE, paid the mediator directly. I’m now on maximum state mandated child support and standard visitation for the children I equally raised because the relationship did not work out with their mother…finally divorced none the less. All of the evidence in the world to fight that good fight never presented, never saw a represented court setting, money just wasted and thank GOD I demanded a standard or it could have been MUCH MUCH worse financially. Contracted with this attourney on 5/24/2024….attourney withdrew as of 11/5/2024, yet they have still attempted to withdraw payment from my bank as of latest, 12/19/2024…….this was my SECOND attourney over a course of what I recall as a 3 year nightmare……I can confidently say, this is whats wrong with the family law system! Will edit with photo documentation when I have time.

Needless to say I attended the mediation PRO SE, paid the mediator directly. I’m now on maximum state mandated child support and standard visitation for the children I equally raised because the relationship did not work out with their mother…finally divorced none the less. All of the evidence in the world to fight that good fight never presented, never saw a represented court setting, money just wasted and thank GOD I demanded a standard or it could have been MUCH MUCH worse financially. Contracted with this attourney on 5/24/2024….attourney withdrew as of 11/5/2024, yet they have still attempted to withdraw payment from my bank as of latest, 12/19/2024…….this was my SECOND attourney over a course of what I recall as a 3 year nightmare……I can confidently say, this is whats wrong with the family law system! Will edit with photo documentation when I have time.

Contentious divorce and custody battles don't just affect the immediate family; they ripple out, impacting extended families and friends. As someone who loves and supports a family member going through such a difficult time, I experienced firsthand the emotional toll these situations can take. We often become the ones helping carry the burdens created by the breakdown of a family.
As the brother of a Soulsby Law client, I feel compelled to leave this review—not only to express my gratitude for the tremendous work they did on my brother’s case but also to encourage others to refer their loved ones to the Soulsby Law Firm if they're facing similar challenges.
From the very beginning, the experience with Soulsby Law was exceptional. My brother had reached out to several attorneys before contacting Soulsby, but he knew immediately that this was the right fit. Stephanie, the front desk receptionist, was kind, patient, and professional. She made him feel at ease and promptly set up his meeting with Kate, which was the start of a life-changing process.
I’ll never forget the excitement in my brother’s voice after his first meeting with Kate. He told me, “I’ve found the attorney I need.” Kate was attentive, confident, and compassionate—not just during that initial meeting, but throughout the entire process. Her unwavering dedication and expertise ensured that my brother achieved the results he needed: more time with his children and a say in their medical care.
Of course, great outcomes are the result of teamwork, and Kate’s team is phenomenal. Amy was in constant contact with my brother, keeping him updated on developments and breaking down complex legal issues in a way that was easy to understand. Her calm demeanor was a source of reassurance during what could have been a storm of uncertainty.
And then there’s June, whom my brother affectionately referred to as “Kate’s Filing Cabinet.” Her ability to organize, recall, and present relevant information during court preparations and proceedings was nothing short of legendary.
Having been involved in combat sports my whole life, I’ve learned the importance of preparation. Walking onto the mat unprepared leaves you anxious and vulnerable, but stepping up with the confidence of thorough training changes everything. Thanks to Kate and her team, my brother walked into the courtroom prepared and confident, knowing he was in good hands.
I’m deeply grateful to the Soulsby Law Firm for helping my brother gain more time with his children. Their work has had a profound impact on all of us—because of them, I now get to see my niece and nephew more often. For anyone navigating the challenges of divorce or custody, I can’t recommend Soulsby Law highly enough.
I hope they have the day they deserve...which would be a day full of happiness!

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.
