Ryan was an excellent resource and strong advocate that navigated me through every step of the process I knew nothing about. His expertise was very much appreciated and if he did not posses that knowledge he found the answer/expert immediately. I have had the privilege of working with Ryan both personally and professionally. I will, and have, recommend Ryan to friends and colleagues.

I hired Kyle Irvin long distance (1650 miles and sight unseen) to handle a trust for which I was trustee. I was not disappointed. A challenge from one of the beneficiaries made this trust take a turn shortly after it was opened. Kyle was extremely knowledgeable in trusts, and was able to analyze the legal issues involved and express them exceptionally well in both written and oral communications. He was always available by telephone, and was extremely patient answering my questions. When we ended up challenging the lower court's decision to a higher court, I was very impressed with his litigation skills. He displayed a very calm demeanor, yet was extremely fast and credible on his feet.

The team at Vaccine Injury Pros was incredible to work with. From day one they were willing to listen to my story and fight for me. They kept me informed every step of the way and were always willing to listen and answer any questions I had. They were amazing and I would fully recommend them to represent you for any vaccine injury you may have suffered.

Richard Moeller and his team at Vaccine Injury Pros are the A-Team of Vaccine Injury Attorneys. I went in to get my seasonal flu shot and immediately upon insertion of the needle I literally screamed out in pain. Probably like yourself, I have had many injections, usually accompanied by mild pain or discomfort but this one was different, something was really wrong. My arm and my shoulder hurt like hell and kept hurting for several days, then months. Upon researching this continuing pain, I realized that this injury was likely SIRVA or a Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration.Being a lawyer, I conducted some additional research and then contacted Mr. Moeller and his team at Vaccine Injury Pros. They got all my background information and then obtained my medical records from multiple health care providers. My case was not an easy case because some information in the the medical records was not supportive of my claim. Nonetheless, Mr. Moeller and his team zealously represented my interests, consulted outside experts and obtained a very satisfactory settlement despite some difficult facts. Vaccine Injury Pros did not drop my case when confronted with difficult facts, they fought and won for me. I truly appreciate everything that they did for me. I highly recommend their team.

There’s so many positive words to say about Richard Moeller, and his team that consist of Coyreen Weidner, and the legal secretary, Melissa Jones. My initial call was to ask about a flu vaccination that went terribly wrong. Richard was so patient in explaining the legal system to me. He answered my questions and was very understanding of what happened to me. He was very professional and efficient. When he described a timeline of how claims are processed, he was spot on with the timeframe. I never had to call to ask about the status as Richard would call me to update the progress of the claim. This communication was very important to me. It was such a pleasure to work with Melissa Jones, his legal secretary. She was always friendly and courteous. I would highly recommend Richard and his team. The outcome far exceeded my expectations.

Jacqueline is the absolute example of how every experience with an attorney should be. From the very 1st phone call , which was really scary to do, the amount of professional and personal attention was exactly what I needed. She listens , she answers every call and email and conducts herself in a court room with such respect and confidence that makes you feel as powerful as her . The amount of time and attention she provided is endless. The amount of respect and pride she provides is admirable . Best experience I ever had .

I have no idea if this attorney is any good or not because I wasn't even able to get past his rude and snotty assistant!!! Didn't want any info on what happened wanted money up front. Unreal

The only time he pays attention to you is right before you have court. During any court proceedings he ignores anything you wish to bring up and acts like you haven’t said anything. He is a yes man for the other side. He does not follow through even if he tells you he will. He must be over loaded with cases because he seems to not have time to actually care about your case. He has no business practicing in family law. And it may just be time for him to hang it up.

I have not hire Ms. Goosmann but hired her firm to represent me and had the worst experience ever. Please note that with my 40 years of experience in Higher Education I have worked with many law firms and am capable of assessing one. The firm is totally ineffective and has a revolving door. During one year plus time I have had at least four different attorneys working on my case , one left another took over and the process keeps getting repeated four time, two were competent attorneys, the other two were awful. One of those two ineffective attorneys who has waisted my money and time was Mr. Jeffrey T. Myers. In addition, every time a new attorney was assigned to my case I had to pay for their time to read and catch up. As a result I lost a substantial sum of money. I absolutely would not recommend this firm and certainly not Jeffrey Myers.

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.
