I called upon Grant for his help with a real estate matter, and was very impressed with him. He absolutely went above and beyond to help me, and his prompt and professional assistance made a stressful situation much easier to handle. Ultimately I was very satisfied with the resolution of this issue, which had haunted me for years. I wish I had contacted Grant sooner.
Grant is not only highly knowledgeable, bright, and hardworking, but also kind and trustworthy. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to others.

Grant has helped me get through a two year legal process and he did so with clarity and great guidance. His phone calls and zoom meetings to explain his thought process and foresight was very well informed as well as easily understandable on a client’s perspective.
I highly recommend him to solve your legal issues and he’ll get it done as fast as possible!

Grant has helped me with 2 situations over the past couple of years. He provided sound guidance in both situations and his professionalism made both situations fairly stressless to resolve. His attention to detail and understanding of the law were critical to the successful resolution of both situations. I highly recommend Grant.

Bottom line, my experience with Tony and his firm was outstanding. I had never been in an auto accident and needed legal representation before and was apprehensive to say the least with taking my case to a huge firm that is only known for their marketing budgets and aggressive legal tactics.
Tony went up against two of the largest insurance companies out there and was successful in securing a very lucrative reward.
I would recommend Tony and his team to anyone looking for the right kind of representation which is fair, knowledgeable and respectful.
I am so happy that he was my first and only choice. Everything worked out for best.

I highly recommend Tony for your legal needs. My case was complicated due to some confusion surrounding my medical bills. Long story short, I was struck by a car and I accumulated a lot of medical debt.Tony was able to work with all parties involved and fight for my best interests.During that time he maintained contact with me. He answered my questions and gave me updates about my case. Even when Id get upset about the complex variables of my situation, Tony would always reassure me that he was doing his best. I can't thank him enough for the professionalism and empathy he displayed during my case. I highly recommend this law office especially if youre a veteran. Thanks Tony, you changed my life, I can't thank you enough.
Note - Carly was also instrumental in the success of my case. Thank you !

Mr. Ciatu set up an LLC in which we held investment properties, assisted with details in purchasing properties and tax consequences in selling properties, and when all properties were sold facilitated the closing of the LLC.
In my experience Mr. Ciatu is very knowledgeable about both taxes and real estate. He is a highly conscientious, highly ethical person who is quick to respond to any questions or concerns. I deeply appreciated working with him.

Alden is the most honest and caring lawyer. He tells you the truth and never sugarcoated anything with me. Most people probably want to be sold a fantasy when they hire a lawyer, but he tells you the truth. He's helped me with two cases which one was dismissed and another was reduced. He told me what was going to happen during consultation and that's exactly wha happened. He treated me like family.

Alden did a great job with my photo radar ticket. I was charged with photo radar in Scottsdale. I didn't want to deal with insurance hikes. He told me these cases aren't easy to dismiss if the photo is clear. He was honest when he told me that I could lose prior to hiring him but that he would do his best. He called me after the court hearing and told me it was dismissed. Thanks Alden.

Andrew was very professional and I received a nice settlement for a faulty vehicle wrap that was put on my business mobile unit that the installer claimed was done correctly. Andrew with his due diligence and determination proved beyond a doubt that the installer was at fault and in breech of contract. He kept me well informed through out the whole process of recovering double of what I paid to the installer.

Mr. Padish was recommended to me by an attorney friend of mine, and I couldn't be happier following that recommendation.

Make the right choice and call Padish Law, you won't regret it!

Jim Padish handled my highly contentious divorce and I could not be more grateful to him and his team; Alicia Gallo is top notch. During a difficult time, Jim advocated for me and also taught me a great deal about advocating for myself by the time the divorce was finalized. He has one of the sharpest legal minds around and shows tremendous compassion and patience for his clients. It is rare to find attorney's with both qualities and Jim has them in spades.

My husband and I recently had concerns regarding some legal issues with the purchase of a business. We contacted Greg after reading his reviews online and thank our lucky stars that we did! Greg is a professional. He was patient while explaining options to consider and provided sound advice. Greg is one of the most knowledgeable attorneys we have ever met. He was able to articulate everything in language that was easy to understand and showed us multiple ways that we could protect our assets for future generations. Highly recommend Greg!!

When another friend of mine, had some legal issues in his business, I recommended Greg. My only concern was that Greg may not take Dave's case because it was small potatoes and wouldn't give Greg much of a pay day... a far cry from his usual big ticket deals. Greg took the job because he has an innate sense of justice and he understood that Dave's very business could depend on getting rid of this frivolous lawsuit. He won handily. And, truth be told, probably didn't make Minimum Wage relative to the amount of hours he put in.
Based on the incredible job he did for David, I would not hesitate to recommend Greg for any matter- whether it be real estate, legal, or personal advice.
I feel blessed to know Greg.
Best regards,
John

As the owner of quickly growing small business, having a knowledgeable and responsive attorney were the most important attributes in my search. Greg's breadth of knowledge is , quite simply, astounding. He mentioned that he had built two succesful companies himself.
His immediate response to inquiries with insightful information is a breath of fresh air in an industry I was previously skeptical about.
I would highly recommend retainign Greg for any legal needs.

I made a telephone call to Marc Lieberman Monday, 30 September 2013 and left a message. I was very impressed that not only did Marc call me back less than 20 minutes later, but he gave me excellent and honest real estate advice. This was despite the fact that his advice to me would not bring him my business in this situation. I could tell that Marc had my best interests in mind by the advice he gave me. If I ever do need to hire a real estate attorney in Arizona, I would absolutely hire Marc Lieberman. If you need a top-notch, highly professional and honest real estate attorney, I highly recommend that you hire Marc Lieberman!

I contacted Attorney Marc Lieberman in January to help me with a real estate transaction that just was out of control...the realtor did not do one thing to sell my home besides list it for sale. The realtor tried to adjust the original contract without my knowledge or permission to change his commission and forced me to use a title company who would not take my calls and tried to make sure he received his new commission rate! I emailed Attorney Lieberman through Avvo shortly after my house was under contract. Within 5 minutes I received an email back with answers from Attorney Lieberman!! After a few days of emailing, Attorney Lieberman advised that I should wait to retain him until I was ready to file a lawsuit. He gave me the cost in advance (ball park) and mentioned that he would assist me with questions until/if that time came. I would have to say Attorney Lieberman is an amazing attorney, he offered to help me at any hour of the day, was honest, and really made an impression with me.

I would strongly recommend Marc Lieberman as an attorney. He has the ability to work through complex situations and is a true deal maker. He is also very skilled at focusing on the important issues and being very efficient with his time. Marc does not get caught up in the ego battles many lawyers get caught up in, which merely costs clients time, money and considerable aggravation. With his soft manner, Marc is able to be both tough and effective, without letting the legal process spin out of control. This is a rare quality found in today's legal profesion. This of course saves money in that he is not just looking to run up the bill.
Most importantly, I always feel Marc has the clients best interests in mind when giving advice and providing legal services. Marc also has a great team of professionals he works with and will delegate tasks when appropriate.
In summary, I highly recommend Marc Lieberman due to his intelligence, service (always top notch) and his ability to put his clients' interest first.

I am very fortunate to have found Charles for my business needs. He helped establish my Operating Agreement and my Articles of Organization.
After establishing my business, unfortunately, I needed his services to defend me in a lawsuit. He was always available to answer questions, clearly explain the law, and present a clear path to move forward through the legal process. His expertise is conveyed through his sound advice and his calm nature.
I recommend Charles to anyone looking for a legal expert that will become part of your team; an advocate looking out for your interest.

William is working on our case involving our home. He has been fair and kind and straightforward through this process.

Greetings to all,
Guys, you will not go wrong with hiring this guy! Amazing attorney!!! Great person. Always answered my calls/text. I cannot be happier with the results. It took lots of fighting to get this trucking company i worked for, pay for what they did to me. Mr. Miller fought off 2 attorneys, 6 so called "witnesses" forgery, stolen truck, the list goes on. I had very bad guys jumping on me but Mr. Miller came in and proved not once, but twice that this trucking company is at fault!! The Judges loved him, he was very respectful, and acted very calm and confident in court. Mr. Miller you are my HERO!!

Rick came highly recommended and today I had the opportunity to meet him. Yes, he is like no other lawyer I have been to in the last 6 years of litigation on various aspects of the problem. I will retain him this week.
I was very impressed with him as a person, his honesty, his office, his knowledge and he seemed to "get it", it is a very confusing and lengthy story. I believe that only comes with years of experience and being good at what you do.
Very nice person, I'm sure this will be a positive experience all the way around. I will re-post in a year.

We always felt he was in our corner!

Mr. Molique helped us after we received a letter from a government agency saying we owed them thousands of dollars. Mr. Molique prepared a letter on our behalf. He referenced many legal precedents and really explained to the agency why it was wrong. It was so firm and confident that our position was right and theirs wrong. We knew we could never have responded as effectively on our own. Mr. Molique also explained the situation to us in laymen’s terms so we understood our position and the government’s position and the risks of the course of action of not just paying what the government had demanded. After that one letter, the agency responded that they would not attempt to collect the money from us. We were very happy with the result, to say the least. I would highly recommend Mr. Molique.

I was devastated to find myself in a position to have to file bankruptcy. Mr Eastin and the entire staff at Platt and Westby were knowledgeable and helped me make it through the process and came up with a payment plan that worked for me.

Melanie won a lawsuit against another lawfirm that falsely accused our towing company. She was an amazing litigator, and has tremendous organizational and listening skills. She's a fighter all wrapped up in a little pkg!! I'd hire her in a heartbeat!!
Read more
18 Apr, 2015 by Don
I am the owner of a large business so hiring lawyers is something I have had to do as part of the job many times. Here is why I give Melanie 5 stars:
*She was referred by an attorney that knew her by being her opposition in a hotly contested case and he had a lot of great things to say (and I trust him, completely, as he is my friend)
*She screened me as the client and not the other way around, although she encourged hat. She won't take the client hat can pay her but only the client that has a real case she is willing to sign her name on. She is not free, don't get me wrong, but she's more than fair in her rates.
*She is up front about costs and risks - it's the firs thing she explains. Unlike almost everyone else, there was never "I'm getting you paid" or someing equally ridiculous. It was "I can't gaurantee anything in this business, no matter how correct you are legally or facually" - what? Honesty?
*She is aggressive as can be, but professional - I am not embarassed by an over-the-top crazy person, but I am proud of the fact that she is no taking anyone's crap
*She is not afraid to sue and will do what she says she will in her leters to the other lawyer (it really is not a threat - it is what is coming if there is not a resolution)
*She litigates cases as fast as possible, doesn't take BS from anyone, and remains ethical no mater what - she tells her cliens (me, at least and she said everyone - I of course believe her) that she will not ever pursue a case to the point of crossing lines she is not 100% proud of, as in, no loss of integrity and unethical activity is not up for discussion
*Dirty lawyers make her sick - she will fight them and be mad with you! She is genuinely PO'd when she calls to tell you what was filed for no reason or bad reasons like billing the file
*She is in favor of the fastest resolution - she encouraged setlement at every step and encouraged me when appropriate - she is not in it to bill the file and does not bill in the shower
*Nobody working with her is any different - her partner is her husband and they are high school sweethearts. Silly as it sounds, they are as good as it gets by way of "good people' and they have an adorable family you will get to know if you hang around long enough or simple talk with her or her husband, Justin
*Remeber the saying "good things come in small packages" - small firm, small lady (she's not exactly the tallest one in the room, lol), but not at all small work - impressive is an understatement!
*She knows the HOA community well - the regulars know her and her firm, and they don't want to mess with her unless they think they can win - insurance defense is anoher story, as that means the atorney can bill and bill and bill until someone in the big insurance company finally notices and then like magic it's time to setle! Melanie predicted this like a psychic, although she's not- she's just been there many, many times.
*Ingelligence. I don't mean run of the mill smart but really, really sharp!
*Ethical yet aggressive as I could have hoped for. IF you don't think this firm is strong enough for you, then you want the dirty attorney and not the one that acts professionally and follows ethical rules all attorneys are supposed to follow
*Economical. NO billing in the shower or anywhere near it! Fair billing at fair rates. You do get what you pay for, but you actually get a bit more here. If you go to the lower rate lawyer, you will likely have an ambulance chaser type of person.
is a fair billing that is lower than most and what you pay for...much lower and you get the ambulance chaser
*I would refer this firm and specifically Melanie to my kids - that is how happy I am.

She was very attentive to our needs and added a personal touch.
Often when you need to involve a lawyer, this is an unpleasant event, but Ms Picarello made as easy as possible. She was present at events she didn't have to be at and wasn't always running a tab.
My wife and I appreciated the work she put into our case and were even more pleased that we prevailed. I recommend Ms Picarello for any legal matters you may have.

I was referred to Corey Foley, by another attorney and a family member. I lost my mother in January and inherited her property. Needless to say her lenders were not cooperating with my requests and turning an already stressful and devastating situation into a nightmare. From the moment I spoke with Corey, he put my mind at ease. During his representation, he was compassionate and thorough and took a huge burden off of my already full plate. I can't say enough great things about him and will continue to refer other people to him. Very grateful for his representation

Corey has always taken the time to ensure that all my company’s legal needs were properly addressed and considered and he is very knowledgeable and effective in the areas of real estate and business. I highly recommend him.

Ike is a very thorough and thoughtful attorney. He's honest, trustworthy and will let you know his true feelings and advice regarding a course of action with the client's best interest in mind, not his retention of you as a client and additional billings for him or his firm. He's a true business partner and confidant and takes his clients concerns and interests quite personally. I would strongly recommend Ike.

His advice was 100 percent and I have not heard from them again. The issue was a rainstorm and the neighbor suggesting it was my fault that water was coming in their condo.

Even though I lost my case, I would still have Daryl make the same decisions we made if I had the cahance to go back and do everything over again. He is punctual, professional and curteous with his clients. I feel bad for whoever he is arguing against, because he is a Bulldog in the courtroom. I did not know Mr. Williams before I hired him, but I would consider him a friend now after.

- 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.

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.

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.
