Catherin was assigned to our defense through our insurance carrier.
I was so happy and satisfied to work with Catherin! I just hope we get to work together again! Lawyers are extremely busy and it's often hard to communication or get a status update for instance. With Catherin, she kept us apprised and in the loop at all times, I never had to ask her, "What's going on with the case?" as I always knew because of her diligent, hands on involvement. She answered every email super promptly (another thing you don't find often). Besides her excellent "bedside manner", she's very skilled, very intelligent, a great and capable lawyer. I hope you get the pleasure of working with her.

I have known Cathrin for almost 25 years and can attest that she is an honest and compassionate attorney that fights for her client's rights. I have consulted on cases with her and had cases against her. She does an excellent job. She is smart and her legal arguments are exceptional. Cathrin can help you in a difficult time and I highly recommend her.

The Rosenblatt Law Firm has been an excellent resource for my businesses since 2012. We have relied upon them to help anticipate problems and protect our companies from future issues. I will continue to use them for years to come.

Mr. Rosenblatt is an excellent, thorough litigator. Patient, trustworthy, results driven, flexible and a great manager of time and resources. Extremely disciplined and respected in the entire legal community. Performs a very detail oriented investigation in to the factual components of a case to determine the pros & cons (and best course of action) to deploy regarding mediation, settlement and trial options.
Mr. Rosenblatt respects the clients time, position and resources. He guides his clients through the process with a clear focus on the desired remedy. He knows when to hold'em and when to fold'em. He does't over play his hand or give his client un-realistic confidence or expectations. He is an "old-school" attorney who respects the process, people and the system. As a result, he has earned the respect of his employees, clients, jurors, opposing attorneys and judges. Though he handled specific contractual issues for my enterprise, I have spent many hours with him and through diverse discussions, I have determined that he has an extraordinary grasp of all business legal disciplines. I've handled several hundred cases as a risk manager directing outside legal staff and would place Mr. Rosenblatt in the top five percent of attorneys I've hired on behalf of my employer. Finally, he is fair and reasonable in his fee structure. If you have any concerns on how his firm handles billing, Mr. Rosenblatt will personally address the issue so that you are in complete agreement as to how your billing is calculated. He won't dodge you or refer you to staff for billing reconciliation. Reasonable fees, hard work, excellent staff and resources, honest representation...... What more can you ask for when you need an attorney?

Steve was timely responsive and laid out all the options for the work I needed. Was an incredible counselor and worked hard for the best outcome which he eventually accomplished. Extremely amicable to the extent that I felt like I was working with my friend the entire time rather than being seen as a dollar sign. Very happy with his work, and will retain him if any work is needed in the future. Would highly recommend him to anyone.

Mr. Sweeney has handled multiple matters for my company. He has the experience to be a General Counsel, but he also understands the business side of things and works on practical solutions to our problems. He is a regular "Go-To" source for advice from investments, due diligence, and general corporate matters in addition to corporate governance. I would feel very comfortable with Mr. Sweeney as the Chief Legal Officer of my company and would recommend him to anyone seeking a reasonably minded attorney with a smart business acumen.

I work as corporate counsel for a medium-sized company based in the NE United States and deal with hundreds of lawyers across the US and Europe daily. We have operations in Texas, but no actual offices there. We occasionally have legal needs in a wide variety of areas in Texas from real estate to general corporate work and Ryan has been very good to work with in all areas that we have hired him. If we ever do open a Texas office, we would not hesitate to try to bring Ryan in as our legal counsel in that office (if we could lure him away from his firm that is).

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!

We hired Mr. Daniels' practice after going through a long and costly legal battle with a less- competent attorney. Mr. Daniels keeps us informed with reasonable expectations of what we can expect. His billing is fair and accurate and his knowledge of the Law and his performance in the Courtroom is excellent and in litigation is second to none. The Associates and staff are also excellent.

In 2010 I ran into a mess with my landlord who I attempted to take to small claims. I never recieved a letter notifying me of the setting and ended up with a judgement against me. I called Allen and he saw me within minutes. Although I was prepared, I was not familiar with court procedures and rules. He took my case even though the chances of winning were slim to none. Landlord/tenant cases are difficult. Never the less, we settled and I got everything I lost and then some. Now Allen represents me in family court. I would never hire another attorney ever again. He has repeatedly proven his knowlege and skills. I have never been dissapointed with his performance, feedback, or communications. Even though you may not get everything you want (at no fault of your defense) you can rest assured he will make darn sure your not pushed around, mistreated, and left confused. I know attorneys can not gaurantee an outcome but as a client I can assure you Mr. Allen Cazier is not in business to make a buck or two, he's dedicated to his clients and making sure justice is served. Do yourself a favor, stop stressing, quit wasting money and call Allen. You will only be dissapointed if you don't. Take it from me, I am not a person who writes reviews... ever! I only wish the best for every one and Mr. Allen Cazier is simply the BEST.

I myself am an experienced criminal defense/personal injury lawyer that encountered a real estate issue in my personal life. Even though I myself have litigated cases for clients involving real estate and construction law, I knew I needed top notch attorneys representing me. Sherry Barnash of the Coquat Lawfirm prevailed for me. I never realized how daunting it is to pick an attorney since I always did any legal work myself. Ms. Barnash and Justin Coquat met with me in their office at 281 Near Evans Road. They attentively listened to my case and laid out a very skillful plan. I was up against a huge real estate company and was able to win 100%. The win was done efficiently without me or my wife going through a nasty lawsuit. This is a big deal for me because for insurance purposes it is frowned upon if an attorney is personally ever a party to a lawsuit. Sherry meticulously reviewed the very 1-sided contract that I signed and devised a plan to assist me in not only address my concerns with that company, but also to get them to agree to cancel the contract. I believe this would not have been possible without her expertise. She was very responsive to emails and phone calls. This was extremely comforting to know she cared about my case. She prevailed and because of her hard work I received all my money back that I had invested in this real estate project. I am forever indebted to her and I will not only refer her business but also call her if I am ever in a similar situation. Thank you Sherry!

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.
