Attorney Gonzalez is a excellent person. He is very professional and he fights for you. He helped me with my divorce and I could not be more grateful. He would keep me informed on my case and he took his time to help me. He also helped me fight a restraining order. He went above and beyond, in a timely manner to gather the evidence, and show it in court.

I recently had retained Mr. Miller as my attorney, and found him to be a great attorney.
He was always punctual for our meetings, proactive in his work and always followed up.
Not once did he not return a call or email with quick turnaround.
I was very impressed with his knowledge and level of service, and would not hesitate to refer him to any of my friends or colleagues.

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!

As his client in three different cases, Mr. Corrigan listened carefully to my concerns, in one case a probate issue, in the others, potential real estate investments. In every meeting, Mr. Corrigan's competence was clearly evident, as was his consideration of all my concerns. In every case, he went beyond my and my family's expectations in providing me (us) with straightforward guidance. Being as objective as possible, I simply cannot speak highly enough of Mr. Corrigan's empathetic, expert guidance.

David had been placed as my lawyer on a case against my ex boyfriend who had spanked my daughter so hard it left bruses, and CPS.CPS had ended up placing the kids with my mother even though i had nothing to do with what had happened. David took the case in strides he was very up front with a plan and never backed down. he always reasured me he would do everything he could to make sure my kids came home to me. The second to last court hearing CPS threw a curve ball at us, they were in agreement for the kids to come home and then in front of the judge they backed out of that and David took over and faught for me he never backed down. he put in a motion and got me the kids back a month later. he was amazing he never complained with the late night calls, emails and questions. he was great if i was to ever have another problem i would definitely want him on my side.

Mr. Deadman was helpful in obtaining a settlement for arrearages accrued for child support. He was able to finally track my EX down and make the court hold him responsible, which 2 other attorneys could not do. It is so nice not to have to worry constantly about an attorney doing his job, I know Glenn has it handled. I would recommend him to friends and family.

Trey Wilson really knows his tuff. he asked lots of questions to fully understand and evaluate my land dispute. At first I wondered whether he thought I was lying or hiding something, but after hearing the whole story, he came up with an immediate strategy that I and my previous lawyer never even thought of. It worked, too.

First, I normally do not rate anyone excellent unless they really deserve it, but if you work with this man, I think you will agree. Walter is not the typical attorney in brightly shined shoes, thousand dollar suits driving a Lamborghini car. He wears boots, jeans and although I don't know what kind of vehicle he drives, I would bet it's a truck. He has an office that makes you feel very comfortable and at home; good parking too.
My husband and I have been dealing with Walter for many years on property rentals, sales and foreclosures. My parents used him for all their needs. He handled our real estate issues from start to finish with no headaches for us to deal with. We totally trust his judgement, which has been to our advantage. If you want a legal matter done quickly, less trouble on your part, and with good results plus at a reasonable price, call this attorney, you will not regret it.
He handles wills also, just in case you haven't done that yet.

I was referred to Mr. Shaw in 2005 and retained him to represent both my company and me in a breach of contract / deceptive trade practices lawsuit in District Court in San Antonio, Texas. Unlike the several other attorneys that I retained prior to Mr. Shaw, he successfully extricated my company and me from any liability. Since that time, he has represented my business, me personally, and many of my business associates and friends based on my recommendation. He has resolved every claim and protest pertaining to my company's contracts with the federal government and the State of Texas. Most of these matters were settled without litigation, which saved my company thousands of dollars. He has successfully represented my company and me in lawsuits in the District and County Courts in Texas. All of these lawsuits were resolved favorably. His legal advice on labor issues and contracts has enabled my company to avoid legal problems on numerous occasions. My business associates and friends, that I have referred to Mr. Shaw, have an equally high opinion of him and his work. Anytime I need an attorney, he is the attorney I call.

Following my accident, I did a quick search and decided to give Crosley Law Firm a call based on other reviews and comments. The attorney assigned to my case was Brennen Jenkins. The staff is very responsive and respectful. They remained very communicative and it was never a struggle to reach out to them when I had questions. They are very knowledgeable about prersonal injury law and how to deal with insurance companies. They made sure that the best doctors and medical professionals were available. Brennen was able to secure me an offer that met my expectation. I appreciate the entire team for their hard work and dedication to my case. I highly recommend you give them a call should you have legal questions about any type of personal injury cases.

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.
