Tom was my lawyer for a recent probate matter. I was impressed with his deep knowledge of the law and his ability to translate complex legal concepts into terms I could understand. He was always available to answer my questions and kept me informed every step of the way. Although the process took longer than I initially anticipated, I am happy with the final outcome. Tom secured a satisfactory resolution that met my needs. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled and reliable lawyer.

I can't imagine going through our trust litigation without Mr. Dominick. I am so grateful for his invaluable help and council. As trustee, I was chosen to resolve the result of decades of family dysfunction that made me a target of unhappy family members. There were several law firms involved, some who also specialized in probate litigation. Time and time again, Mr. Dominick was the most knowledgeable attorney and successfully countered and protected us from law firms who use the law for cynical and dishonest purposes via the flawed and expensive trust litigation process. Mr. Dominick's knowledge of the process combined with his frank honesty provided invaluable and necessary council. We will be forever grateful for his tenacity, aggressive protection when called for, and expansive knowledge that yielded the best result possible.

Andre is truly amazing! I was having trouble with a tenant and he offered free consultation to help remedy the issue. Not only did he volunteer his time to help me, he was compassionate and caring in his approach. He helped ease my anxiety and ensured I had the knowledge needed to adequately address my situation. From the moment we began chatting, I knew he was an upright person who truly cares for his clients. He wasn't concerned about money, he was concerned about providing me with the best outcome. If I could give Andre a 100/5 I would. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANDRE!

Bill Lemann started out as a young lawyer helping my mother. He proved to be the most trusted and valuable of advisors to her and later to myself and my family. He truly cares about his clients and they become family to him. Working as a court reporter for 40 years I was able to view firsthand his skills in the courtroom and they are stellar. I can't speak highly enough of Bill and our experiences with him in handling the most complex legal problems in a professional and brilliant manner

A couple years ago, my father passed away after a couple week stay in the hospital. During this horrible time, Mr. Lemann was more than an attorney, he went above and beyond the call of duty for my family during this terrible time. He treated us like we were part of his own family, and we are truly grateful.
If you are looking for an attorney who will treat you like one of his own while providing top notch service, look no further than Mr. Lemann. He is not just an attorney, but someone I consider a friend.

I recently decided to look into bankruptcy, I started to Google attorneys and came across Lloyd Legal. I had already spoke to a few other attorneys so I had a feel for what the questions would be like. I made an appointment with Aaron Lloyd and he called me back, he asked me a few questions and I had some for him. Speaking with him and reading all the reviews, I knew I was going to go with him. This is such a stressful time, and I keep coming up with new questions, Aaron Lloyd responds so quickly and explains everything. Within 2 days of speaking with him my case has been filed and my meeting is scheduled. I am thankful I decided to work with Lloyd legal.

Attention all truck drivers!!! Everyone knows California law regarding speeding tickets is strict and unforgiving to everyone. Unfortunately, I got a speeding ticket of 19 mph over speed with a speed limit of 55 mph and I had lost hope of settling with the court. When I went to this law firm, they have a great team of lawyers with excellent experience. They made the ticket as if it never happened. I advise all drivers to deal with this great firm. I am really happy to deal with them
Thank you so much 😊

Michael Schaefer has represented our family and businesses for nearly 20 years. Over this period of time he has helped us with many legal issues large and small. What struck me most about Michael was that he took the time (his own) to come out to our business and really understand what we did. This knowledge of our unique business was critical in providing legal advice and representation through many challenging times.
Michael has a unique approach to his work; he actually talks to you and not at you. The relationship is very collaborative and you really feel like you understand what’s going on with your issues. Michael is very commanding, when you are in an adversarial situation, he brings a very intimidating presence that gives me great comfort and confidence.
Michael's become like family.

After two weeks of struggle with my auto shop tenants who cancelled and refused to purchase general liability (GL) and workers compensation (WC) insurance as per the lease agreement, my business attorney Mr. Eli Kantor referred me to Mr. Brian Cullen who immediately responded to my call and scheduled a meeting with me the following morning. The next day he served a "Three-Day Notice to Tenant to Perform Covenant or Surrender Possession", and within an hour of receiving the Notice, I received and email from the insurance company saying that my tenants bough both GL and WC, followed by a call from the tenant confirming that they bought the insurance.
Thank you Mr. Brian Cullen for your professionalism, prompt and decisive action.

Attorney Anyiam is extremely unprofessional and rude. In working with him I found that if you ask a question, he gets offended and snaps back. In addition, he can be very condescending and does not communicate well. If you hire him, I can pretty much guarantee that he will take your money, not provide an accounting of the expenses, and not follow through with your case. In fact, he will probably try to remove himself from your case. He definitely lacks integrity. Run while you can.

I was referred to Christian Anyiam to represent me in a personal injury case. Mr. Anyiam was professional, patient, friendly, and listened to me. I am not easy to please but I experienced very little stress and no guess work regarding my case status. He kept me informed by not hesitating to return telephone calls, emails or other inquiries. Prior to settling my case, he wanted to ensure I understood the settlement terms. Mr. Anyiam discussed the economics, advantages and disadvantages of settlement with me. We, as a team, agreed to settlement. I would highly recommend Christian Anyiam. He gets the job done!

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.
