Mr. Ofori handled my auto accident case, and I was very pleased. He is a courteous, kind and passionate man that puts his clients needs first. He took his time to explain the process and answered all my questions anytime I had them. I was extremely impressed with his negotiation skills. He got the medical providers to reduce my bills substantially, and in turn I was well compensated. He knows the law extensively and I highly reccommend him to everyone I know. If your looking for a caring and attentive lawyer who's not out for themselves, choose Mr. Kwaku Ofori. I promise you, you'll be glad you did.

If you are in search of an exceptional attorney who provides top-notch, exclusive legal counsel, then fate has led you to this review of Harry A. Suissa. When concluding that I needed an attorney, I knew that it would have to be someone very skilled and capable, and preferably seasoned. I've always heard that word of mouth yields better outcomes, so I figured that I'd ask around. The praises sang of Mr. Suissa were great enough to convince me to call him, and that was one of the best decisions I've ever made. With a divorce case as complex as mine, Mr. Suissa handled the delicate matters with finesse and the difficult issues with careful intensity. In courtroom presentation, Mr. Suissa is a charming powerhouse that is sure to deliver very well, as he exudes confidence, displays decorum, defends with subtle passion, and speaks with eloquence. In my opinion, an immensely important quality is a person's responsiveness. While under duress, having someone make you feel that their focus is on you and helping to solve your problems averts anxiety. Through persistent communication, Mr. Suissa secured my hope, despite any trepidations. The best part of it all, was that Mr. Suissa achieved results that far exceeded my expectations! At the close of my litigation, surprisingly, I had bittersweet feelings. I was thrilled that my dealings with the case were over, but Mr. Suissa and his firm invested so much time, energy, attention and regard to my case, that saying farewell was with the intended meaning of, until next time. Of course, no one welcomes unnecessary legal issues, but if there ever arises another need for an attorney, Mr. Suissa has the job! Harry A. Suissa is an A1 attorney, and when you retain his legal services, you'll be in good hands and great care.

Harry is the most wonderful lawyer in the world! I discovered my husband was having an affair with another man. My world and 20 year marriage were destroyed. I raised the children and was unemployed. My husband threatened to give me nothing and even lock me out of my own home. A dear and caring friend told me about Harry. He did everything and was strong and commanding. Thanks to Mr. Suissa I have my life and sanity back. I also have financial security. I strongly recommend my lawyer to anyone facing a legal crisis. He will captain your ship through the storm.

My ex is bipolar, unemployed, and unemployable. We were married more than 30 years and we have 3 wonderful children. I was willing to agree to a fair settlement but she wanted, at least through her lawyer, the house & most of our investments. Her lawyer was very aggressive. Harry was amazing. He was always polite and professional. He knew how to handle the other attorney. He kept my fee low and still got me everything I wanted. I survived my divorce, kept my assets, and have a great relationship with my kids! Because of Harry's gentle touch, my ex and I are civil with each other! A Perfect end!

Mr. Wikramanayake was the counsel in a complex business litigation case I was involved with a year ago. He was extremely professional, courteous and relentless in his pursuit of a positive outcome for his client. His knowledge of the law and the subtle nuances involved with the case was astounding. He is a credit to the profession and any client should count their blessing to have him as their counsel. At the conclusion of the case, he was humble and genuine when he shook hands with the losing counsel. I do not believe I would have had the composure to act with such grace and humility after such an overwhelming victory.

If there was a rating scale of 1 to 10, I would rate Mr. Reckson as 10. We needed an attorney licensed for the state of Maryland. My sister and I both live out of state. In fact, different states. My sister found him via the Internet. Because of the excellent service we received, I felt a need to write this review. I know there are people like us that rely on reviews to help obtain services needed. For this reason, I felt a need to write a review that would help someone else in determining where to obtain good legal assistance. In working with us, Mr. Reckson made himself available to answer questions and kept us abreast of events affecting our case. Mr. Reckson is a man of integrity. He cares about his work and about the people for whom he represents. Being out of state, my sister and I could not stay on top of things, but Mr. Reckson did. He kept us informed of our options and things we should considered. I am impressed by his professionalism. But more than that, I am impressed by his caring spirit. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Reckson to anyone. He is definitely a number 10 (rating)!!

He was my lawyer for a complex custody case. This was my second time in litigation for the same case. During this second time around, I interviewed 3 different lawyers and chose Chris and I'm very glad that I did. He practices in Maryland and Virginia which is rare, and something that I needed for my case. He took an extensive amount of time for the consultation to truly understand the issues that I was experiencing and why I needed representation. He listened to me throughout the process and didn't do things without consulting with me first and never pressured me into doing things. He gave me the pros and cons of different options so I could make the best decision and tried to save me money wherever he could. He told me the whole truth of the situation without making guarantees never just telling me what I wanted to hear to try to get me to do things to make him more money. He also always stood up for me and continued to advocate for me when the other side was being unreasonable. He was a breath of fresh air especially compared to my first lawyer. For multiple reasons including the pandemic the case got dragged out for over 2 years but I'm glad that I had Chris on my side. He is ethical, reasonable, and if he is not familiar with something he takes his time to research so he is always prepared. The amount of effort he took to prepare for my case far exceeded what the other side's council put in which I think had a big impact of the results. I'm going to continue to use him for other areas of law if I ever need assistance and I've already referred people to him for their own situations.

This is my second time in the court system for the same divorce. Mr Wampler is 100% the opposite of the lawyer I hired the first go-around. I hired him after consulting with a couple different divorce lawyers. He, again, was the only one to really listen and comprehend my situation. In just the consultation alone he offered a solution and told me how he would be able to help me. I have never once felt as though his intent is to waste my money or time. He wants what is best for my son and I the same way that I do. If I ever need an attorney for anything else, I will hire him again. Do yourself a favor and get him on your team.

OK, maybe the title is overly dramatic. We faced a dispute with the local water/sewer agency over their proposal to build a temporary road on our property and through our woods to service a manhole in the adjacent park. The agency was proposing to use our property for a year without compensating us. Alex helped us navigate the process of proposing a compensation level that could be defended by standard practice and communicating our proposal to the agency. Ultimately, we prevailed -- not by receiving just compensation, but by the agency choosing a different route. We view this as a positive outcome and it would not have been possible without Alex.

I was going to sell my company for an offer that was nearly impossible to refuse. This sale would have changed my life for the better, but I would have given up my intellectual property and gotten a job within the new company. Alex looked over the documents with a critical eye and consulted a colleague as well. He did a complete assessment. The terms were vague and I would not have had any security or legal recourse. He recommended against signing off on the sale. I declined to sell the company. I later found out that the buyer had no intention of keeping me on. I would have lost every thing. To this day, I am grateful to Alex for helping me make the right decision. Thanks!

This lady not only totally misrepresented herself several times but doesn't return calls, did not do as agreed at all, doesn't seem to give a rip about anything but making a fast buck for doing nothing, and is the most unprofessional acting attorney I ever had to deal with. BEWARE!!! She took my money, did nothing, refused to do anything, refused to refund money, didn't even quit properly and incited the judge, who refused the withdrawal, so I got terribly delayed being able to get another attorney. She didn't even spell her own name properly on the so called contract with NO -- heading, address, phone number, website, etc... I HAD TO GET THE INFO FROM THE COURT especially since once she was paid she no longer accepts your calls or shows up for court. Don't expect much from her. I had thought I found her in the Christian Shepherds Guide but not sure now. She certainly doesn't act in a way pleasing to God at all. I thought I was hiring a Christian. I'm terribly disappointed and filing several grievance's against her. BEWARE AND STEER CLEAR OF THIS ONE. What you sow is what you reap Ms. Noel. Nobody wants to hire an attorney who doesn't care about why they were hired and only wants a fast buck. Money isn't the answer so have some integrity and return my money. Your only cheating yourself when you cheat!!!!!

I hired Mr Markowitz two years ago when I had trouble with two of my commercial tenants/properties. Mr Markowitz was highly professional and gave great advice on how to handle each situation as they were completely different. He explained the process and all the possibilities that I might encounter. Although the process can be tedious the end result was successful. I gained possession of one my properties and Mr. Markowitz was able to collect all of my past due rent by his skillful negotiations with the tenant. He presently acts as a liaison one of with my tenants and often collects the rent and promptly forwards it to me. I would highly recommend Neal Markowitz because of his knowledge of the legal process, his ability to get the job done as well as his overall professional demeanor. On a personal level he is very candid, honest and is always available to help and answer questions as they arise.

I hired Neal Markowitz as my attorney for debt collection. The case didn't even go to the court, the plaintiff signed and agreed with the payment schedule. Neal Markowitz is supposed to mail me the check monthly after his cut, but he's always late with the check. It's been almost two years now, and he has been late almost every month. At the beginning, I need to send email every month asking for the check, later on, I will send emails after a few months for the check, and he will mail the check with 3-4 month total payment at once. He is super unprofessional with work, lack of due diligence.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
