Mr. Tuell was very helpful in giving advice on Estate Planning for my dad before he died, and in processing of the sale of his house. His timely advice saved me well over $100,000 that would have gone to the state. (The state sent a letter of intent to put a lean on my dad’s estate, but after seeing the paper work that had been done retracted that Intent- very cool!) I would strongly encourage my friends to seek Mr. Tuell out!

The team at Habtermariam Law has done more than exceptional work fighting our case. The communication was never one sided or off and as long as I had questions or something needed from them, they always had an answer or figure out a resolution similar to the situation. Great team. I would definitely come back if another accident ever occurs!

I like how they talk to me and not at me and in verbiage easily understandable. They made sure I totally understood the contact before signing on to them as a client. But I especially appreciate how they continue to keep me in the loop and have an open door policy.
Thank you Freeman Law 😁

I found Freeman Law by chance in a Google search when trying to find a lawyer after an accident. From the first point of contact with Kim and Amera, they were very friendly, welcoming, and professional. Through my 2yr ordeal they showed compassion and kept in contact with me by phone and email to check on my well-being as well as update me with any information. They answered all my questions and if they didn't know right then they were sure to find out and get back to me. Their communication was top tier. Even as things got wrapped up, everyone in the office I interacted with were so kind. They also support a few causes which I thought was cool and I was also able to pick which one to have a donation go to. Overall, great firm to work with and would highly recommend.

This review will not do the experience I had with The Bolan Law Group, specifically attorney Mike McCarthy, justice.
Mike and his team took the time to explain every option pertaining to my case, even the tough ones that required accountability on my end. He offered multiple solutions and was thorough in explaining each one, both the pros and the cons. He handled the opposition masterfully and stood steadfast in our position without wavering. He pushed when it was needed and soft pedaled when pushing wasn't the strategy.
Mr. McCarthy alleviated all of the amprehenstions I had about "Attorneys" and refuted all of the old adages and negative criticisms that are placed at their feet. Mike offers the "White Glove" experience and went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of and satisfied. His attention to detail, follow up, response time, and follow through is on POINT! I couldn't make a GREATER recommendation to anyone needing legal representation.

I would definitely recommend Mike to anyone going through a difficult divorce he has helped me out very much. when it came to my ex wanting to change things up last minute he definitely went to bat for me. Mike was always professional very upfront with everything and always reliable and responded back to any question even if it was small Mike was very fast to get back to me never made me feel like any of my questions were stupid or small even after my divorce was final my ex has tried many things to try and change or make work in his favor and Mike has stayed on to help me with them he has never made me feel like I was just a client for the day or that he never had time for me he is definitely made me feel like a real person and that my case mattered and seemed legitimately concerned about mine and my children's well-being and for that I would definitely recommend Mike McCarthy for an attorney to any of my friends and family I definitely wish him and his team the best and I thank him very much for everything that he has done for me and my kids through this difficult divorce.

after my first meeting with Mike I relaxed immediately. I knew that he was on top of any issues that would come up in what had been a really confrontational real estate dispute. Litigation had been going on for months already by the time I met with him. But after two months with Mike's assistance we were able to resolve the case amicably

After I was involved in a motor vehicle accident I was highly referred to Mr.Hansen by a friend. After seeking Mr. Hansen's council he and his staff quickly began to gather the facts of my case and recovered a fair settlement for my injuries. I highly recommend Stephen Hansen.

Mr Hansen was referred to me by another attorney to handle an accident where my car was rear-ended. The insurance company representing the person who struck my car completely stonewalled my attempts to get restitution. Mr Hansen quickly and effectively settled my claims of pain and suffering and my claim of diminished value of my Lexus. Very personable and knowledgeable.

I was facing 60 months for an assault and within 6 months Morgan Benfield took me to trial and got me an acquitted via an “Not Guilty” verdict from the jury.
Looking back at this process, I would sincerely tell anyone whom is looking for a defense attorney to consider hiring Morgan Benfield.
His entire philosophical process was way beyond easy and in the end, despite the flagrant dishonesty and intentional difficulty inflicted upon us by the State, especially during the pretrial process, he smoothly navigated and directed us to a big win.
If you hire Mr Benfield please understand that the courts respect him as well. For example, whenever I showed up to arraignment, the State made it crystal clear that they were going to ask for $50,000 bail. Once they’d been informed that I was represented by Morgan Benfield, that request suddenly plummeted to $15,000, the judge ultimately deciding to release me for free under my own recognizance. “Mr Cho I see that you’ve hired your own attorney” he said, prior to releasing me.
I say again Mr Benfield is super easy to work with. So easy that at times I felt uncomfortable with the lack of effort that was required of me. You literally pay for his services and let the man work. Other lawyers, many times more expensive ones will not only ask you for their fee but then will give you a packet/check list of all the things that you need to do on your end before they get started. They’ll even attach your bill on the very top as they hand it all over to you. This is the extreme opposite of Mr Benfield.
His approach is unorthodox and he even has a catch-phrase that he uses once he has them where he wants them (I won’t disclose it and ruin the fun) but by the time Morgan Benfield was finished that jury took only an hour to decide and I truly feel the only reason that it took that long was for the jury to give the pretense to the judge that they were debating amongst themselves. We were done by lunch.
Trust me. This guy is good. Thank you to all my predecessors that left reviews prior to me because without them I may have never sought out his services. Thank you again Mr Benfield for beating my charge!

Elizabeth powell, is not only one of the best attorneys I've ever worked with, but one of the most understanding attorneys as well. She was not able to take my wife and I on as official clients, as she works for the Pierce County Housing Authority, but due to our special situation, and the fact that she had dealt with the company that was illegally trying to get money out of us, in the past, she decided to help us. He was not only very detailed and willing to do what she could, but she gave us some amazing advice, that helped us out of a very bad financial situation. I would recommend Elizabeth Powell to anyone seeking legal assistance, in Pierce county, Washington state.

Mr. King represents me and my small business in all matters. He is very well versed and experienced in commercial litigation. He is level headed and good at keeping his clients emotions in check when that is called for. Over the years he has earned my trust 100%. He also has a strong assistant and legal support staff, which one would expect from a proffesional who covers all his bases. Thanks Brian for being there for me.

Long distance is difficult, but Shad worked with us through our attorney here and was knowledgeable and helpful. We were surprised though that the rates were changed in the middle of the case without notification.

Shad handled my case with professional expertise beyond what I expected. He was communicative and clearly more focused on solving my situation than on racking up "billable hours". He was knowledgable, precise and responsive, easily handling every aspect of my case with discretion and aplomb. He met and exceeded my expectations, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I always had confidence in Shad. He was patient in explaining to me all of the options, and the pro's and con's and expenses, upfront. The outcome of the Will dispute exceeded our expectations, and happened quickly and painlessly. I live in another state, and most of our communication was by e-mail.
My nephew changed my brother's Will ten days before my brother died. He claimed it was my brother's wish, but my children and I were certain that my brother did not know what he was signing. My nephew was my brother's Executor, his Trustee, and also a Beneficiary. According to my brother's original Will, written by an attorney, our older brother and I were to each have half of the estate. On the event of our older brother's or my death, our 1/2 was to be divided among our own children. Our older brother had died , so my nephew and his sister were to have 1/2 of my brother's estate, and I was to have the other 1/2. My brother talked about this Will a lot, to many people, because it gave him comfort.
The nephew's last-minute changes left me and my children a few thousand dollars, with the bulk of my brother's estate going to the nephew and his sister. People we talked to said this type of fraud is difficult to prove, because my brother's physical and mental capacities were in question--and we almost gave up. My Son-in Law is an attorney, and he contacted Shad in Washington, for me.
Shad discovered that the new Will had several flaws. (Sorry, I am still fuzzy on the specifics.) My nephew wrote the document as an amendment to my brother's Trust, yet it didn't properly amend the Trust, and it wasn't really a Will, either. This gave us the leverage we needed, and we challenged the Will. My nephew hired an attorney to represent him, and there were about three pairs of offers and counter-offers. In the end, I recovered over half of my share of my brother's estate.
Shad also discovered that, regardless of which Will held, I legally had inherited 1/2 of my brother's share in an oil company. I did not know this, and my nephew as Executor did not tell me this, and he had already wrongfully claimed full ownership for himself in company meetings. I used this 1/2 share in the negotiations. I did not value the oil company as highly as my nephew did, and I was actually glad to let it go.
I received a great deal more money than I had hoped for. The children and I feel good about the settlement, and we are glad we didn't prolong the dispute, by going to court. Thank you, Shad McOmber!

When I think of my time with Cindy Wysocki, Esq., tears of deep gratitude literally come to my eyes as I recall her strength and gentleness, her humor and sharp critical thinking, her willingness to get into the ultimate fighting cage we call the judicial system and her reluctance to throw a punch, and her commitment to fairness and open-hearted compassion. To the lawyer or firm across the virtual table, Cindy must seem formidable and relentless. To me as her client-friend, she was comforting, encouraging, and grounding. I never had to yield my voice or stuff down my questions. AND, Cindy held my concerns and fears, my heightened emotions and (sometimes) clear intuitive insights respectfully while guiding them in positive, productive ways. And best of all, Cindy knew me well enough at the end of a grueling process to be able to then assist and guide me in my needs to safeguard my estate and financial assets to be sure to leave them secure for the ones I love the most. Above all, I am forever grateful to Cindy for accompanying me as a caring fellow human being during one of the most devastating times of my personal life journey. She stayed by my side through unprecedented conditions, with unconditional care and concern, as one of the few who did in my life. Cindy is a legal Bodhisattva!!

Complete waste of money I really needed as a single mom. All i asked for child support so i could aid to leave an abusive situation. She drafted 2 two temp orders and charged me but never filed anything. Heard nothing unless i reached out.

After that i was charged monthly for her and the paralegal chat briefly in one to one i guess, but no action or communication. 2 continuations literally no action over a year, despite my ex not contesting. Complete waste of money I really needed as a single mom. All i asked for child support so i could aid to leave an abusive situation. She drafted 2 two temp orders and charged me but never filed anything. Heard nothing unless i reached out.

When I think of my time with Cindy Wysocki, Esq., tears of deep gratitude literally come to my eyes as I recall her strength and gentleness, her humor and sharp critical thinking, her willingness to get into the ultimate fighting cage we call the judicial system and her reluctance to throw a punch, and her commitment to fairness and open-hearted compassion. To the lawyer or firm across the virtual table, Cindy must seem formidable and relentless. To me as her client-friend, she was comforting, encouraging, and grounding. I never had to yield my voice or stuff down my questions. AND, Cindy held my concerns and fears, my heightened emotions and (sometimes) clear intuitive insights respectfully while guiding them in positive, productive ways. And best of all, Cindy knew me well enough at the end of a grueling process to be able to then assist and guide me in my needs to safeguard my estate and financial assets to be sure to leave them secure for the ones I love the most. Above all, I am forever grateful to Cindy for accompanying me as a caring fellow human being during one of the most devastating times of my personal life journey. She stayed by my side through unprecedented conditions, with unconditional care and concern, as one of the few who did in my life. Cindy is a legal Bodhisattva!!

I love sending my clients to Cindy! I know she cares deeply about helping them navigate divorce in a way that will leave everyone feeling whole and hopeful about the future. Her focus on creating durable parenting plans that center kids, while appreciating the uniqueness of the each family, makes referring her to parents a no-brainer for me.

I hired Mark in the summer of 2019 to work my case after firing another law firm in Port Orchard. With the other firm, the lawyers were just in it for the fees. They admitted they had no expectation that I would be successful in court and were simply pushing to go to mediation. They and their paralegals, being polite, were subpar. I fired them for either negligence or incompetence, hard to tell what the situation was.
When I was interviewing for a new lawyer, I talked to several other Kitsap County and Seattle lawyers, but as soon as I started talking to Mark, I knew he got it. Without going into details, my case was fairly complicated both in storyline and legally. I had really gotten myself into a pickle, but Mark got it immediately, understood what had happened and knew what needed to be done.
In the first few months, I was actually worried that I was getting played with used car salesman skills because he seemed to agree with and understand everything I was trying to convey, but once I saw the first artifacts he drafted outlining the case, I realized he really understood and was truly advocating for me.
Then COVID hit, and I am not going to lie, there were many times in 2020 and 2021 that I was getting very frustrated with the pace. COVID obviously delayed things in an unprecedented manner, but there were also other cases that Mark was waiting on that were being litigated at the same time that he wanted to see the decision on before proceeding with mine. This period was painful mainly because of the portion of my income that I was not paying as alimony left me essentially penny-less at the end of every month. These changes in circumstance were part of the reason for the court case to being with, but Mark recommended I make sure I pay 100% if I could.
Once we got into court proceedings, Mark continued to be a superior advocate for me, while at the same time being the aggressive lawyer that I needed him to be against my ex-spouse and her attorney. Mark was able to take my situation and explain it in terms that the judge clearly understood the deceptions executed by my ex-spouse and her lawyer.
In the end, the judge ruled very favorably in early 2022, overturning “lifetime” maintenance and granting that it would only continue for 3 additional years at very reduced terms. One of the things the judge noted in my favor was that I had made every required payment and more, taking the children into account, despite sometimes having negative cash flow for months in a row. Mark’s early intuition on this matter proved critical.
My case involved active duty military considerations, military retirement considerations, older minor children, college age children, dependent parents and revolved around termination of deceptively worded lifetime spousal support at $4000/m that was cleverly inserted in the divorce decree contrary to verbal agreement and understanding. There is quite a bit of additional nuance, but regardless, Mark was able to overturn essentially the entire decree.
So here’s the bottom line. If you are looking for a lawyer that will listen, understand, and advocate for your story (not just mechanically process your situation), then I have not found anyone better than Mark. And this is after having talked to at least a dozen lawyers, some free consultations but mostly in paid consultations. He is not afraid to be unconventional when required and not afraid of a hard fight. I don’t want to speak about all family law matters, because I think that is a very broad field and I don’t want to over-project my experience, but in matters of divorce-related litigation, I recommend Mark over any other lawyer.

I reached out to Mark to inquire about my options for a legal issue in my family’s life. He was very understanding and caring in his thoughts and recommendations for us. He took the time to talk to me the moment I called and helped me to understand what my next steps should be. He also followed up with a kind email to remind me of my options, offer his sympathy towards my situation, and offer his service if ever needed in the future. I highly recommend Mark for your legal needs.

Mr. Ewetuga is very good at what he does. I went to him in a panic because a past creditor had my wages garnished for an account that they thought was still outstanding. I knew I had paid off this account and fortunately, I kept all of my paperwork from three years ago. During our consultation, he recommended that I take action and contact the creditor first to let them know I paid the debt. Then I should fax over the documents showing them proof it was paid since the first collection agency failed to follow up with the original creditor. If that didn't work, then we would proceed to plan B. After gathering my thoughts, I went home and did what he instructed. I contacted the creditor, explained the situation, and faxed over the documents. A little bit later, I called back to make sure they received everything. They then explained to me that they faxed this information over to my employer to withdraw the garnishment, and they would stop collection efforts. That really made my day! I have never experienced wage garnishment before, and I was upset and full of anxiety that collections came after me again after I paid off this debt, but Mr. Ewetuga knew exactly what to do! I know some attorneys would have figured out a way to just drag this out and charge me a huge bill, but his payment was definitely reasonable as well as his services. Thank you Mr. Ewetuga!

I’ve worked with Mr. Lazares on a few evictions, only one going to court. While he is knowledgeable, he was very rude to me. He interrupted and was condescending. Not exactly a ‘feel good’ when you’re paying someone $400/hr.

I spoke to Mr. Lazares about my situation. He was fast and to the point. He didn't waste time. He quickly knew what my situation was, what needed addressing. My situation was somewhat complicated. I was pleased with our interactions, his advice and knowledge of the law.

I purchased a foreclosure home and the former owners would not leave on their own, so I hired Danny. He has been very to the point (which is great), quick, and we're getting the eviction order from the judge. I hope to never need to evict someone again, but Danny has officially been added to my landlord tool belt and I recommend him!

I can’t recommend Erica highly enough. From the moment I stepped into her office, I knew I was in capable hands. Erica immediately fostered a sense of trust and transparency that allowed me to feel informed and empowered every step of the way. From the beginning, she was readily available to address any concerns or questions I had, providing timely and insightful guidance that proved invaluable throughout the process.
Erica has unparalleled professionalism and unwavering dedication to their clients. She listened attentively and empathized with the complexities of my case. Throughout the process, I felt understood and supported, which comforted me during such a difficult time. In addition to her legal prowess, Erica exhibited genuine compassion and care for me. Her unwavering support and encouragement helped me navigate the emotional challenges with strength and resilience.
Her expertise in family law is evident in her attention to detail and thorough understanding of the legal intricacies surrounding divorce proceedings.
I am immensely grateful for Erica’s exceptional representation and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a family lawyer.

I thank God that Erica came into my life!
If you are looking for a person who will fight for you, not give up, and win, then I say look no further!
I was going through one of the most painful times in my life. My kids, my retirement and my name was on the line and she did not once give up on me.
Erica went above and beyond what you would expect a lawyer to do, which is not only for fight, but fight with her heart and conviction! She believed in me, when I did not believe in myself, and showed the judge that I was not the person who I was portrayed to be.
If you were like me, going through hell, I suggest you give her a call.
On a personal note:
Please don't give up on yourself, there is always another day and one day you too, shall find happiness again.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Erica!

Erica doesn’t seem to know family law or the court system. Due her her negligence, my divorce case is drawn out an additional 4 months. I switched lawyers due to her excessive billing. After going through the court process with another attorney for comparison, I am more confident that Erica is lacking in knowledge and over bills for her time.

We hired Christopher J. Marston to advise and represent us after we discovered several construction defects and contract violations by our general contractor.
As it turned out, I couldn’t have chosen a worse attorney than Mr. Marston. Mr. Marston claimed to have experience and success with defending clients like us and convinced us that we had a good case against our contractor. Unfortunately, we discovered too late that Mr. Marston was not competent to advise or to represent us with our claims against our contractor.
Here is a brief summary of Mr. Marston’s performance:
*Failed to ask relevant and pertinent questions of the defendant while deposing him and his expert witnesses and to use the collected deposition information effectively during the arbitration hearing. If used, the defendant and his expert witness’ deposition answers would have clearly proved that the defendant had lied under oath. He also failed to effectively use the supporting exhibits and expert witnesses’ testimonies to challenge or discredit the defendant’s false statements.
*Flustered and confused during the arbitration hearing, Mr. Marston shuffled through his scribbled notes and four-inch thick exhibits trying to find what he needed next. On occasion, he would mistakenly refer to the defendant by my last name or forget where the exhibits were located in the binder. The arbitrator’s report shows that she never saw or heard our most incriminating, convincing exhibits and expert witnesses’ testimonies that would have easily exposed and discredited the defendant and his expert witnesses’ false statements.
*During our final meeting, Mr. Marston ignored our request for an explanation of why he felt he did a good job of presenting our case when the arbitrator’s written report clearly stated otherwise. The arbitrator’s written decision indicated that she found the defendant and his attorney’s well-prepared and articulated defense to be more creditable than Mr. Marston’s. He concluded by saying that we should take some solace in knowing that the defendant did not get away completely because he had to pay his legal fees too. Mr. Marston took no responsibility for his poor preparation, performance, and advice. He appeared more concerned with being paid for his services than his losing our law suit.
*By hiring and following Mr. Marston’s advice, we lost over $170K that includes legal fees and repair costs for the construction defects.

After a month of leaving contract requests on their web page, and voice messages, someone contacted me and said they would pass on my request. Then after another week, an assistant told me that they were too busy to help me. This is arrogant, unprofessional, and just plain rude.
I wouldn't have persisted except that our attorney recommended them for another matter. Firms like this explains why lawyers get such a bad rap.

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.

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.
