I have had two experiences working with Dustin, both were very good experiences. One was dealing with probating a will for a relative, which was a sad time but necessary obligation to "make happen". Dustin made this as painless as humanly possible.
The second experience was to get my own affairs in order with a current will, POAS,,and Living Will. Again,
Dustin's patience working with me, a client that is difficult to stay in contact with, was above and beyond lawyer's usual efforts. He put my affairs in order with a professional and knowledgeable skill that was certainly needed and appreciated.
I would recommend Mr. Kellar's abilities to my closest friend or family member as both capable and professional in his field of work.

I hired Mr. Brandt to handle a civil matter and it couldn't have gone any better! After giving Mr. Brandt all the facts he was able to convince the opposing counsel and opposing party that the claims against my company were meritless and that if they chose to proceed with the lawsuit we would be seeking damages and all fees regarding the lawsuit. After about 60 days of hiring Mr. Brandt and his subsequent contact with the opposing counsel we received word that the opposing party was dismissing their lawsuit against my company!
The best result to any lawsuit is to stay out of court and Mr. Brandt's ability to apply the law to our set of facts and to firmly yet professionally communicate to the other party our intention of vigorously defending our position is what I believe kept my company out of court. Thank you Mr. Brandt!

Our company had a customer with a fairly large outstanding balance (for a small business) that we tried in every way to collect. Marshall Presley and Pipal PLLC worked their magic and we not only received the full amount owed with partial interest but all attorney fees as well. We tried for two years to collect on this outstanding balance with no success. We very much appreciate the efforts of Jonathan Marshall and his staff. We will definitely utilize their services again if needed.

Nick is a person of amiable character; however, I would exercise caution in endorsing his legal representation for any litigation matters. Dealing with contentious legal adversaries and complex litigation demands a certain degree of resoluteness. Nick, unfortunately, does not exhibit the tenacity required to secure the full extent of what is rightfully owed to you. In my experience, his negotiations yielded only a sum sufficient to cover my legal fees, leaving me with nothing to compensate for my claims.
Throughout our discovery phase, Nick exhibited a tendency to confusion when handling intricate case details and had difficulty procuring responses from the opposing party. Even after securing an agreement that proved to be unfavorable, he encountered insurmountable obstacles in attempting to secure payment or garner any form of response from the opposing legal team.
Currently, I find myself burdened solely with a substantial legal expense, without any corresponding benefit or compensation.

Received a traffic ticket outside of the DFW area and took it to the office in Arlington, Tx. Assistant assured they take care of tickets anywhere by mail and requested CASH for payment. Charged more than 500% the fee saying that was because the ticket was received outside the DFW. I did not hear anything about that ticket for almost a year. Called office in Ft. Worth; they said my ticket was not in the system. Then, I called the court to find out that the attorney assistant in Arlington had sent them a request for deferred adjudication that was rejected.The court advised me that the ticket was in collection and about to turn into a WARRANT!!! I have no problem with the court decision, what is so frustrating is that neither the attorney nor his assistant did INFORM me about the court decision BY ANY MEANS. Furthermore, when I spoke with the attorney, he informed me that he knew NOTHING about my ticket and had not been paid for it! He also told me that his assistant accused me of moving overseas without changing my contact information despite the fact that I NEVER left the county ! I also am surprised by that claim because I neither left my residence nor changed my contact information including my cell phone # they had in file! So, they had my MOST up-to-date contact information!
Furthermore, I had been receiving all kinds of emails from the attorney assistant; mostly around the time he received the response from court in regards to my ticket; so they had my email address on top of my most up-to-date mailing address and CELL phone number!!

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.
