Mr. Ramon Rivas was very professional and helped us every step of the way. Even before the interview, he made sure we had all the documents and all information we needed for the interview at the embassy. He was always a text or phone call away. I highly reccomend him!

Justin is very professional and thorough in his work. He communicates all options and possible challenges openly and realistically from the beginning. He engaged consistently through the process, and never left me wondering where we were in the process. His pricing is reasonable and fair. Would give 10 stars if I could.

I had my initial attorney who sat on my case for two years without any progress!!! I needed my money for the damages I was caused, and he came through for me much quicker than I anticipated. My case was settled before I knew it. I respect him very much and he recovered my losses.

Todd and his LA Tamara were fantastic. Even on such a low level ticket I was given, they treated it seriously and gave me all the attention it needed. More importantly, they really knew their stuff and ended up getting the ticket dismissed. They kept me informed throughout the process and were able to answer any questions i had.
I'll definitely be using this office again if it's needed.

I received a couple minor HOV lane citations in Montgomery County, and turned them over to Todd and his Team to handle for me. They were very professional during the process and Todd's assistant kept me informed along the way. His fee is reasonable and I will use him again if I ever break the law again.

My bankruptcy case was brilliantly represented by the Law Office of Lawrence D. Tackett. I could always get in touch with Attorney Tackett, who was kind and informed.

He's an absolute godsend who saved my children from the clutches, horrors, abuse and deceptions of the Department of Anti-Family and Persecuting Services. All the reviews written about him here and Avvo are true and more. I'm definitely glad he's not a judge just yet. Please hire him if you find yourself in trouble. He'll help you.

I can’t recommend David Kallus enough. I had a case that I’m sure most lawyers would have given up on because of the length of time it ended up taking before settling but his attention to detail and thoroughness in researching the case couldn’t be argued against. He really went above and beyond and I am very glad I was able to work with him. Definitely recommend his services!

James Stilwell is organized, hard-working, and charges a fair fee. He and his staff are attentive to detail; they follow the law and meet deadlines instead of using unprofessional cheap tricks to antagonize opposing counsel. I was confident that James was always prepared, whether for a hearing, a deposition, or trial. He has a high standard of ethics and professionalism.

Mr. Stilwell understood the scope of what we tried to accomplish and what needed doing. He was extremely empathetic to our situation and went over and beyond our expectations. He was very professional and the advice he gave was invaluable. I believe that without him and the service he provided, that we would still be trying to figure things out. He was also able to expedite the process and accomplished a huge feat within a very small window of time. The process that usually takes 6 months to a year took a little over a month. I hope we never need an attorney again, but if we do, I will be knocking on his door asking him for his help.

Mrs. McCoy worked extremely hard on my case and continued when others would have given up. This led to a positive result in my legal matter. She actually saved my life. I am thankful to her every day because everything that I am able to do to help children and families today is a direct result of her skills, drive and belief in me. I was truly blessed to have her as an attorney.

It's good business practice to have a good attorney available to you. Nick Dupre has always responded quickly and thoroughly with all my questions. He has always answered all my questions and is not quick to get you off the phone or in person. It's just really good to know Nick is there to take care of any details to help make our company run smoothly and not to mention the peace of mind knowing he keeps all of our legal needs in line. Did I say, I recommend him for all your legal business needs?

I have never worked with an attorney like Mr. Dupre. He and his firm, Stone & Associates, are incredibly responsive, approachable, and knowledgable. I have never had an attorney answer ALL of my myriad questions so quickly and thoroughly. And what do most people cringe about with attorneys? The unrelenting and questionable bills for seemingly trivial things. NOT so with this firm. They charge up front and it is not egregious. This allows such a great level of comfort in that you can ask all you need and not fear an onslaught of invoices. Nick Dupre and his firm help remove the stigma that many attorneys have these days.

My divorce became entangled with accusations and charges that faced overwhelming consequences and losses that no person is prepared for. It was impossible for me to see any possible resolution or hope of a happy future. Meredith was able to take on all the emotionally charged fears and concerns and help me understand that nothing was ever being conceded, but that her process was a method of reducing risk. Not only did each “Step” improve my life, but the entire process exonerated me too. It also allowed for a dialogue that prepared me for things to look out for in the future, how to safeguard myself and greatly lower my stress and anxiety. Overall, her efforts improved the quality of life for me and my children. At one point, I had to put my entire life and future in her hands. If I were ever in another situation spun out of control, I would, without hesitation, put her in charge again.

Meredith is one of those rare finds: she listens and she understands. She's reachable and she returns calls immediately. She knows what it's like to go through a divorce, especially the impact on the kids. Meredith fought for me and she helped me see so many things I had no clue were important, all of which meant a better settlement for my children and me. I had started with another attorney who did not return calls timely and did not know anything about retirement accounts, oil & gas income, or future earnings. Meredith's knowledge about the money part was critical to my case and she did her best to protect me every step of the way. Several of my friends have already called her because they could not believe how well she took care of me and my babies.

Needed an attorney to look over a real estate contract on short notice. Picked Mr. Boltz off the internet simply because he was conveniently located. Fortunately he was able to meet with me the next day. Only took him :15-:20 minutes to look over the contract to my satisfaction and answer all my questions.
I was very pleased with his work and give him 5 stars for his response (1 day notice), and also for his knowledge (quickly answered my questions to my satisfaction). Although he seems to be very trustworthy, I went with 4 stars simply because I don't have a long time relationship with him. Skipped the "kept me informed" category since this isn't applicable to this case.

Eric was my attorney to recover funds from real estate after my family;s property was sold for school taxes. My whole family had passed away without wills. I had worked with another attorney without success. There were a lot of issues including tax problems. Eric was so kind to me and kept me in the loop. Eric was successful and I received the money. Eric is my hero. He even worked out the issues with the IRS. That was a miracle.

If you need a “go to” law firm to handle a lawsuit or a business transaction, look no further than Woodall Batchelor. I mostly use Dan and Charles to review / draft all of my contracts and transactional work because they know their stuff, do great work, and are very responsive. However, they also handled a litigation matter for and achieved a great result. Highly recommend Woodall Batchelor.

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.
