I’ve had the privilege of referring many cases to James Penny, including matters for my own family members, and I can say without hesitation that he is an exceptional personal injury attorney. James is extremely knowledgeable, diligent, and truly puts in the work to get the best possible outcomes for his clients. If you’re looking for an attorney who is both skilled and committed to fighting for you, I highly recommend him.

I spoke to Dom on the phone in regards to a legal matter that I was going through and he was able to help me to understand what the next steps were I need to take and I was able to get my issue resolved. I highly recommend Dom for any kind of legal matters in regards to debt or personal injury and I will continue to use him in the future. I would leave 10 Stars if I could.

If I could give 0 stars I would. My partner and I learned after paying Dominic Majors almost $3000 that we no longer qualified for chapter 7. Dominic tried convincing my partner and I to quit our jobs so that we could "meet the means test". After realizing we no longer qualified for bankruptcy, we asked Dominic for our money back to which he refused! Working with this company was a complete disappointment as there was no guidance and we learned that we wouldn't qualify after we had already paid them. What a scam. For a company to take advantage of people in bad financial situations is just ugly. **Update - After I posted this, Dominic called my cell phone, clearly upset, I had to ask him to calm down, that I would give him a chance to explain, but he remained argumentative and at one point TOLD me to address him as "Dominic, or Mr. Majors" because I had called him "dude". WOW. Sometimes, when there is an issue between a business and a client, it is an opportunity for the business to shine with how they deal with a difficult situation. This was not my experience, after I expressed my disappointment, I was met with hostility.

I have been working with Eric Slocum Sparks through a complicated Chapter 11 Reorganization for nearly two years. During my time working with Eric's firm I have gotten an important though sometimes unpleasant education regarding the process of Chapter 11 bankruptcy. BK is not for the faint of heart because the Court must follow the law and though there are some minor legal benefits within the process, the results have been brutal.
Through it all, Eric and his legal assistant Amy have been extremely supportive and it looks like I will come out of this unfortunate process with most of my skin intact.
From the beginning it was clear Eric has extensive experience in the bankruptcy field. His rapport with my wife and me was calming, reassuring and positive. Amy stepped in at all levels to ensure we understood the legal processes and appropriately followed the Court's rules. Both Eric and Amy have become good professional colleagues and I count them among the important people in my life.
I enthusiastically recommend Eric Slocum Sparks and his professional staff lead by Amy as THE bankruptcy firm to engage in Tucson Arizona.

Filing for bankruptcy is a very hard decision. We knew we made the right one when we chose Eric and his office. Eric gave us great advice and Amy his assistant held our hand through the entire process. She put our minds at ease and answered all of the questions that we had and all of our concerns. His whole staff was wonderful!

Mr. Sparks helped my husband and I through a particularly difficult time. His expertise turned a bleak situation into one we could manage. Mr. Sparks treated us with compassion and guided us through every step. He helped us view our future as one of opportunity. We are certainly grateful for all that Mr. Sparks and his office have done to help us.

Unprofessional. Difficult to reach. Slow to respond to questions. Voicemail was always full and opposing counsel was unable to leave messages. Bait and switch. She turned into someone else after she received her retainer.

I reached out to Ms. Wright when I had a dispute with my landlord. I was confused about what my rights were and she helped me to understand what the laws are in AZ as a renter. All she had to do was write a letter to my landlord and the situation got back to normal. Very happy with Ms. Wright and I would hire her again if I ever needed to.

CR is a great Attorney. Helped us through a very complicated Business dissolution and tax situation. Talked to us constantly and did not gouge us for phone calls or texts etc. Always looked out for our interests and still does today even after the successful conclusion to our case in our favor.

Unethical and inappropriate behavior. My time was completely wasted with an attorney who knew nothing about what he was hired for and after hiring him, he completely changed, I thought he was representing the people we were going after, I couldn't tell. When addressing it with his managing attorney, he was distasteful as well. I'm glad its over.

Most places wont even bother going the extra step to help out. Although my case was not something they could help with the amount of feedback and customer service was great. I would definitely consider hiring one of their attorneys based on the response and willingness to help I received. Speaks volumes. Thank you!

Lisa's lack of empathy and refusal to provide assistance left me feeling frustrated and offended. Despite seeking legal help to gain custody of my children, her behavior was rude and irrational, offering no support or guidance. It was a disappointing experience, leaving me regretful of investing time and money without receiving the support I needed.

Everyone there was professional and had my best interest at heart. Both Paul Bowron and J.M. Stanlee West-Watt were top notch. Mr. Bowron would allow me to do as much legwork as I wanted in an effort to keep my bill down. This Practice was totally worth the money they cost. They were tough when they needed to be. They kept up on my case and were proactive on deadlines. I would recommend them to anyone.

We were the complainants in a dispute settlement case involving damages to our home by an incompetent contractor. Our case was well documented, witnessed and supported by state and county entities. We enlisted Mr. Jarvis to negotiate a reasonable and fair sum to repair the damages. Although we provided Mr. Jarvis with a detailed and complete list of repairs & expenses, he excluded a significant dollar amount from the negotiations without informing us in advance. He also failed to reveal to us, in a timely fashion, a key condition of the case that compromised and negatively impacted our negotiating position, causing us to have to accept a much lesser settlement than we deserved. It became apparent, albeit too late to correct the above errors, that Mr. Jarvis was no match for the seasoned and professional council of the opposing party. At this point it was our decision to retain a second, more experienced attorney to oversee, review and significantly revise the final and biased settlement agreement that was prepared by the opposing party and simply passed through to us by Mr. Jarvis. For our case, Mr. Jarvis couldn't have been more ineffective.

As the Personal Representative of an Estate in Arizona, I retained the law firm of Breen, Olson & Trenton, LLP to probate the Will and guide me in all Estate matters. Todd Jarvis, an employee of that law firm, was assigned to provide all of the legal services in this regard. I reside in New York State and I dealt with Mr. Jarvis on many occasions by phone, fax and e-mail over a period of more than two years. There were a number of complicated matters involved in this probate proceeding, including intricate tax matters. Mr. Jarvis handled all matters related to the estate in a professional manner and was always accessible and promptly responsive to my numerous questions. He also recommended an accounting firm that I retained to deal with the many tax issues. He acted as a liason between myself and the accounting firm I retained to work on the estate. He made my work easier and brought the finalization of the estate matters to a successful conclusion. He is well spoken and highly intelligent and was a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend him.

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.
