Y'all.... you cannot find a better law firm to represent you. They don't even practice our type of cases anymore, but still called and gave us sound advice. He spoke with us for almost 30 minutes! We were also provided with phone numbers to reach out to someone who could help us with our case. I genuinely appreciate everything.

I can’t express enough my gratitude, I’ve been dealing with a legal matter for the past 2 weeks and have felt so unheard during this time until today. This man has gone above and beyond to assist me and direct me to the right people . I couldn’t be more thankful and appreciative, not only is he knowledgeable but he has a great heart and for me that’s who I want in my corner. Thank you again for your help and if I know anyone that needs your help I won’t hesitate.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire team at Romano & Sumner for their superb professionalism and excellent work regarding the probate of my late father's Will & Testament. Elizabeth kept us informed with periodic updates and Kenny never hesitated to respond to our questions directly.

My brother and I recently had a consultation with Mr. Sumner at this firm, and within a quick 20-minute meeting, we received more valuable information about guardianship than we had managed to uncover in four days of independent research. We were both thoroughly impressed by the clarity and usefulness of the guidance provided. It was a relief and a delight to finally obtain clear next steps for our situation, thanks to Mr. Sumner's expertise.

I recommend this firm without any hesitation.

*A Lifesaver in a Stressful Time*
Zain was an incredible support during a very stressful period in my life.

Thanks to his expertise, I was able to achieve the outcome I hoped for. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone needing an experienced and compassionate attorney.

I hired him because my ex was trying to get full custody of my children. I told him then I wanted to go for full custody for my son. We ended up in mediation the ex dropped the full custody and changed kids pick up time and address for pick. I asked him why can’t we just go for full custody and he said it’s because she did the modification and since she backed down I’m good. After signing I asked when can I go back for custody and child support he said wait about 6 months cause a Judge doesn’t like to see you too soon. Well it took them 5months to get the Judge signature and I decided to file myself to find out I have to wait a year later from the time the judge signed. The judge said I should have done all of that during the last modification. It didn’t make any difference if she filed the motion. I could gotten my son and child support increase last September. Mr. Brown knew that. I can’t go to the attorney general because I have to wait 3 years from the divorce. I can only use an attorney to get my child support that due and it’s hard to trust them after they take your money and curve the truth.

I can’t possibly write a stronger recommendation. Jimmie has helped me out twice in the past 15 years and got me outstanding results both times. He is no nonsense, blunt at times but and will tell you exactly what you need to do to protect yourself and win. Listen to him, follow his advise word for word, never doubt his strategy I assure you he’s several steps ahead of what you think will happen. While no nonsense, you can trust and feel his empathy for your situation and will aggressively resolve your issues in a timely manner and always was available for last minute questions, clarification or just to talk.

Tony went above and beyond to get me my divorce, my now Ex Husband did everything to avoid getting served and the Judge was (let's just say) difficult. Tony worked hard, made sure I was informed, explained things to me, answered all my questions and was kind. (A few other lawers I interviewed were rude.) I highly recommend Tony Duckett.

So often I hear that you have to have a test before a testimony. Well,for the last few months I have been in a tail wind of a storm,and didn't know if I would ever see the light at the end of the tunnel. Prayers are the most powerful tool any Christian will ever need. Communicating with God,trusting Him to connect you with someone that have the mindset of Christ, a lot of patience,understanding and the love to help others. Attorney Tony K. Duckett shared these qualities and more. He was truthful in every respect,kept me informed step by step,was never too busy to talk with me,a godsent man,more than qualified to handle my situation,and proved beyond a shadow of doubt that he would bring closure to the matter @ hand. I was speechless when everything was over so very fast. God had answered my prayers by connecting me with someone that held much respect,and passion for the Lord,and this is the kind of Attorney I want to represent me in the future. I will definitely recommend (my) attorney to my family,friends,church family,and anyone I may come in contact with that's in need of legal advice."Good attorneys are hard to find,so why not hire the best".(I did :) ) Ms.C.F. Bucks

When I think of professionalism, I believe the person should be well rounded! Not just knowledgeable but into the emotional needs of their client. Well, Tony Duckett is the epitome of well rounded professionalism. He assisted me with a criminal case(revoke of prob.) that I was in jeopardy of going to prison. But he worked with the D.A. & P.O.
to get my probation reinstated & I've completed everything & he handled my termination of probation! So if you're looking for a well rounded atty. who's doesn't cost an arm & leg, he's the attorney to get!! He's worth every penny & more!!!

He failed to prepare. He was an adversary and just wanted to settle at any cost - a divorce case! Every concession gained was a result of my doing and hard work to investigate solutions. He is only good at charging for his useless time. I had to hire another lawyer to settle the case with opposing council. It took him 20 minutes over the phone after Glenn failed to make ANY progress in over three (3) months.

Glenn has handled my personal needs since 2000. He is my go-to when I have questions of any degree. His assistant Sabrina Burton is wonderful. She takes a personal interest in all issues that Glenn is working on. This case has many facets and Glenn and Sabrina are on top of all aspects of my current case.
They are more than capable of prioritizing issues and gets positive results. I doubted Glenn one time, my first temporary orders hearing and that was the last time. He is effective, persuasive and someone who you need, want and should desire to have in your corner.

I never expected to be put in a position needing to put such a poor review to anyone let alone an attorney I hired, unfortunatley I had to release her due to failure of representing my case on where my best interest lies.
All the agreements we would have prior to any of the trial she'd make another deal with the opposing counselor and go with the agreement.
Allowing the opposing attorney to demand items that any attorney would not have allowed to even continue
Last when I decided to bring it up to her , I was accused of being rude. Not a service you'd expect from an educated attorney. I will take this matter to anothe level post my divorce case over.

This lawyer was unsympathetic and seemed disinterested in my case. This made for a very unpleasant experience. He neglected to present crucial evidence in court, costing my case dearly. His negligence was unacceptable. In addition to that, Lee was often unavailable and did not answer my calls or emails, took my money and disappeared. I feel financially aggrieved.

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.
