Ms. Schoolar was there for me during a very difficult time. She was very attentive to my issues and handled each aspect of my case in a very timely manner. She took extra time to meet with me to make sure that I was up to date with an changes in the case and made me feel very comfortable throughout. I would defiantly hire Ms. Schoolar again for any legal issue that I should encounter. Several weeks after the proceedings, Ms. Schoolar called to check on me to see how things were progressing with me and how I was doing. Not many lawyers I know would do this.

Ms. Schoolar represented my case in an unemployment hearing. I was extremely pleased with her work. She kept me continually informed about my case. If I had a question or concern, she was prompt in returning any calls or emails. The legal brief she wrote for my case was extremely well written. I am an English teacher, and a family relative is a long practicing lawyer. We both were impressed with her legal brief and her representation of my case. Besides being a very likeable, friendly person, she was extremely professional. I highly recommend her.

Ben represented my company on a very complex liability case. Being from Texas and never even meeting in person, Ben took the time to learn about a industry he had no pryer knowledge of, and went into each stage of the case being more informed and prepared than any other attorney that was representing the other parties. Time after time, Ben was placed in a room full of other representing attorneys and there was never any question who was the best guy in the room!!
If you are looking for somebody to represent you, I can not over recommend this man, he worked late and even on Sunday! If I ever had questions, he had already thought about them and had quick and intuitive responses.
Look no further for somebody to represent you!

I was dealing with a problem for two months on the phone because I was across the country. I finally realized I needed the help of a lawyer and I started to make some phone calls. I wasn't pleased with the way a lot of the lawyers treated me. Mr. Yellin was open to listening to my problem, he worked with me to sort out what I needed, and he gave me fair treatment. I felt I could trust him to help me with my problem fairly. He kept me informed of the progress and the matter was resolved in just a few days. I am very happy with my treatment and service. I will call Mr. Yellin again if I need help.

I wish there were more stars because Mr. Jenkins deserve them. My experience with a lawyer that I have never met other than over the phone was one of the most amazing Blessings I have ever had. From beginning to end, Mr. Jenkins shared with me every step he was making, every document and asked for my permission to continue before he proceeded to work my case. He went out and beyond with every expectation to accommodate me. I'm very happy to share my experience because everyone needs to know there is a lawyer that you can trust and know that he is working for your good and not just a check for himself. I challenge any and everyone who read this review to give him a try. You will not walk away disappointed, and you will never forget the wonderful services of the Law Offices of Daniel C. Jenkins, LLC

5 Stars to Mr. Fields for helping me out of a speeding ticket. I have a clean driving record and I didn't want to besmirch it for a dumb mistake. I followed his advice and the ticket was reduced to no points in Georgia and I can take defensive driving classes in Tennessee to remove the points on my license. Thank you Mr. Fields, you are a Godsend and so is the lady at the courthouse who helped me out.
Yours Truly, Rolando Ramos.

If you're looking for a super expensive, large law office with lots of frills and added fees, this is not your place. If you're looking for a small, affordable, honest and easy to work-with firm, look no further. I'll most definitely be using them again for future closings.

The Johnston Law Firm was truly a Godsend for my husband and our family during a very difficult time. His workers' comp case was overwhelming, especially when we tried to handle it ourselves after local attorney's wouldn't help. When things became too complex, we reached out to Johnston Law Firm, and it was the best decision we made. Jonathan and Brandi immediately stepped in, rolling up their sleeves and taking control of the situation. They consistently kept us informed, answered every question with patience, and explained every step in clear, understandable terms. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, my husband's case settled for much more than we ever expected. If you're facing a workers' compensation issue, here's my advice: 1) Don't try to navigate it alone-workers' comp attorneys are there for a reason, and 2) Contact Johnston Law Firm, LLC. You'll be in the best hands possible!

I had this firm on retainer for the last 6 or so years for a child custody matter as i live out of state at first they were great but since 2021 they started raising there rates and billing thousands of dollars with no communication with me when there was nothing going on in my case then when I dispute the charges it takes 6 months for the attorney to call me about it had a discussion about how to end the case and the fraudulent billing and was told she was going to fix the problem received a email a few days later that they were removing themselves from my case and refused to talk further just continued to send billing statements worse lawfirm if you have a case that isn't quick and easy
Beware anyone who has them or is looking at hiring them in the savannah area be prepared to be ripped off
Ps To owner maybe pay attention to your lawfirm and less about your podcasts and seminars
Im sure I'll get some bs auto response from owner just know I had too finish my case myself and did a better job with better outcome then with them representing me and didn't cost me thousands of dollars magic

I called the office trying to get a consultation, the receptionist asked me which attorney I wanted to meet with. I’m not familiar with the process so I responded that I don’t know, any attorney that can do a consultation. She said that she could book me 2/4/6 weeks out. When I asked what the date would be and which lawyer it would be she hung up. I don’t know every lawyer in YOUR office, miss. Rude

I wanted to express my deepest appreciation for the work that Oliver Maner LLP did regarding the legal action taken against me. This action involved a high-profile case, with national news coverage.
Mr. Pat O'Connor and the other talented attorneys of the firm addressed the case filed against me in a professional manner with constant follow-up.
The team was very thoughtful and expressed a deep concern concerning the situation I was facing. The team made me feel comfortable, explaining the legal demands and responses required.
The expertise offered by Mr. O'Connor and his associates is among the best I have ever worked with. I have been involved in the legal system since 1983, working in public safety.
Mr. O'Connor takes time to explain the course of action, outcomes, and avenues to address the situation. The follow-up on questions and timely reporting of action helped to alleviate the normal stress filled period.
I would, without hesitation, recommend the services of Oliver Maner LLP and Mr. Pat O'Connor and the other attorneys at the firm.

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.
