Miss Kima helped us with my immigration paperwork and everything went smoothly. We only had to meet in person twice and exchanged a few emails. At the first meeting Miss Kima walked us through what documents we were going to need and what to expect. At the second meeting we handed over all the required documentation for her to review and file whatever U.S.C.I.S needed and she handled the rest. We were very satisfied with her services. Thank you Miss Kima!!!

As a CPA I have worked along side Quinton with multiple clients for over a decade. Would highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal representation and advisory services in commercial and real estate industries.

Quinton is a fine client's lawyer and a fine lawyer's lawyer. I always recommend him highly and he is the first person I think of when I have a Virginia matter. He is extremely considerate and careful of the client's concerns, but always politely candid with a friendly dry wit, i.e., he will make a clear recommendation in a fine manner even if it may not quite be what the client is hoping for . His expertise in corporate, tax and real estate matters is hard to surpass. His lengthy legal experience, experience with the Judge Advocate Corps and counseling corporations and family businesses with a very large firm and with his present well-known firm have given him great versatility in supervising transactional and litigation matters. I have known Quinton for over 25 years. I have been a colleague of Quinton's , but independent of his former firm since 1991 and used him reliably since I left his former firm.

Mr. Robinson has been my company's business lawyer for many years. He has been consistently supportive and highly responsive when his counsel is needed. He has great expertise, but more than that, he truly is a counselor at law, offering thoughtful, insightful and useful advice on several types of transactions I have undertaken. I highly recommend him for any small business that needs a highly effective and efficient lawyer who will be there for you when you need him: peace of mind.

Dave Honadle has represented my former company for over ten years (his firm Vanderpool, Frostick & Nishanian has represented the company for a lot longer than that), the majority of the work being related to landlord/tenant. matters. Dave is knowledgeable and reliable. When one of the properties was placed in to redevelopment mode, Dave was instrumental in the termination of leases and the removal of holdover tenants. Even though our relationship focused mainly on landlord/tenant issues, Dave is proactive in forwarding information that may be important to the company doing business in the State of Virginia. I would not hesitate recommending Dave as a lawyer.

I have worked with Mike Mehalko and his title company for several years. He is always the one I call when I have a title question.

I have known and worked with Michael for several years. He has never let me down. He does exactly what he says he will and sometimes more. Perhaps more importantly to me, he does not over promise or exaggerate possibilities. If you are looking for a lawyer that speaks the truth, delivers as promised and does so for very fair rates, Michael is the lawyer you want.

Breakout Capital hired Doug in May 2017 after he served as external counsel helping the company secure its first credit facility. Since that time, Doug has negotiated an extension of that facility plus two additional credit facilities, led the diligence and negotiations on prospective M&A transactions, and served as a key member of the executive team, where his duties extend well beyond just legal. In addition to being extremely thoughtful, diligent and hard working (consistently one of the last to leave the office), Doug is very pragmatic and able to isolate the key issues that are worth pursuing. He is also very adept at juggling multiple tasks simultaneously such that nothing falls through the cracks. One of the most admirable qualities about Doug is that he is very fair and even-handed. Though he consistently fights to get the best deal he can, he recognizes the need to be transparent and fair in any negotiation with counterparties.

Simply put, Doug is one of the top attorney's I have ever worked with. We initially hired Doug's firm to provide counsel and draft the documents on our first financing. Doug took the time to understand our business model so he could better communicate how certain clauses in the financing structure could positively/negatively impact our business. There are just not many attorneys at his level with his experience that get so "deep into the weeds" as he did. After completing the financing, our company hired Doug full time as we were so impressed by his work and we continue to be impressed with hard work and dedication. I can say for certain if Doug had not put in all of the countless hours that he has into our business, we would not be where we are today.

Doug has always exhibited unparalleled work ethic and firmly grounded personal ethics. You would be hard-pressed to find a better attorney or person.
I strongly endorse this lawyer. I have known Doug for close to 7 years. He is a lawyer of great integrity, dedication and intelligence. A valued and trusted adviser, he provides his views with clarity, directness and precision. He is a strong negotiator capable of employing both forceful argument and an open, friendly manner and ready humor in order to achieve the proper result for his clients.
I had the pleasure of being one of Doug’s clients from May 2010 through August of 2014 while he supported my business line on many large and heavily structured commodity transactions covering 15 states and 4 markets. Doug’s knowledge, experience and support are unmatched. His work ethic, thoroughness provided complete assurance to the commercial team, allowing the team to more closely focus on core commercial matters, rather than having to worry about risks and challenges in the legal space – Doug simply took that element of concern off the table for the commercial team. This was true on a spectrum of transactions and enabling agreements ranging from ISDA transactions to complex and highly structured transactions involving several different sources of cost and revenue. This bulletproof level of service was consistently delivered to the business line, even though Doug led a number of other quite disparate portfolios, showing the range of Doug’s combined depth and breadth of expertise in credit, construction, commercial and M&A transactions. I offer the highest recommendation of Doug’s work and find him to be an invaluable professional asset, and, most importantly, a pleasure to work with.

Alex Laufer took my case and represented me throughout a long and challenging insurance settlement following a vehicle accident that caused me irreparable injury and chronic pain. He worked the case with determination and resourceful strategy and obtained a settlement that was fair to all parties. Most important to me, he obtained that result with unquestionable integrity, and without causing animosity or ill will with the insurance companies and parties involved. When the case was concluded, everyone walked away from the experience with the sense that it was a routine business transaction. If I ever need a lawyer again, I will not hesitate to call Alex or his law firm for help.

Alex Laufer is a great attorney for many of your legal needs. I have used him for many areas dealing with real estate, real estate settlements, contracts and general business issues.

Mr. Laufar not only approached the case as requested, he also introduced other variables that resulted in a larger award. He explained parts of the law that we were not aware of at the time. Had we gone to Mr. Laufar 6 months earlier, we would have had a much larger award than obtained at the end of the case. If any follow-up work is required, we will definitely go back to Mr. Laufar and we do recommend him for any legal action.

Ian has been my copyright and intellectual property lawyer for nearly 20 years now. I currently live in Chicago, and yet whenever I need help with protecting a creative project, I dial right out of state to Ian back in Virginia!
A rare blend of knowledge, empathy, and ethics makes Ian Titley an approachable, down-to-earth legal consigliere of the first order. At the end of the day, there's no other attorney I'd trust for help and advice in this area.

Thanks to Ian in helping our business go in the right direction. Ian responds to our questions and requests always in a timely manner. We like his practical approach as well as his friendliness.

Mr. Yourth represented me in both my divorce/custody case and a subsequent criminal matter. In both cases, Mr. Yourth went above and beyond. In my divorce case, he showed a superior knowledge of the law and obtained a result that attorney's I had consulted with prior to retaining Mr. Yourth told me was impossible. The judge clearly knew and respected Mr. Yourth and it was clear that his reputation preceded him. I was granted primary custody of my children (which I thought was impossible as a father), did not have to pay any spousal support to my ex (which every attorney prior to Mr. Yourth told me was a foregone conclusion) and my legal bills with Mr. Yourth were approximately 60% of what my ex-wife's attorney charged her. We literally won (or as close to winning as one can get in a divorce case) on every issue. I cannot recommend Mr. Yourth enough.
Subsequent to my divorce, I ended up in trouble with the law and needed Mr. Yourth's assistance and again he was caring, responsive and more than competent. He reached a plea agreement with the Commonwealth's attorney that was far better than expected and did not charge me an arm and a leg. Mr. Yourth will be my attorney until the day I die!

Mr. Yourth was extremely knowledgeable and caring throughout a very stressful time in my life. He kept me informed throughout the process and always made me feel like I had someone in my corner. Unfortunately, my ex refused to be reasonable and, despite numerous attempts at settlement by us, my case went to trial. I received a fantastic result and also learned that, although our attorney's rates were identical, my bill was only about 60% of my Wife's. Highly recommended.

Nicole is extremely knowledgable about everything I needed to get the legal side of my business up and running. She not only provided me with the appropriate contracts I needed, she educated me on what everything meant. She broke down how I should operate in my business to ensure I am protecting myself and my business. Her response time was great and she always provided answers to my question, no matter how big or small. I recommend to her to friends and colleagues who shared that they had a wonderful experience in working with Nicole. She is the BEST.

Throughout 2013 and 2014, Rachael Hammer has done an excellent job with my divorce, support and custody case despite extremely contentious and difficult circumstances. The custody case started with the mother trying to limit visitation to twice per month which led to a hearing where Ms. Hammer successfully argued for joint custody.
Ms. Hammer guided us through months of negotiations and litigation to a highly successful outcome. She has stayed with us in the aftermath, taking late night and weekend phone calls, through pick-up explosions and police involvement.
I can not say the case has been pleasant, but Ms. Hammer and her legal assistant Katrina Smallwood, have remained a calm and steady presence no matter the circumstance. Ms. Hammer is knowledgeable about Family Law in both DC and Virginia, reliable, and professional. She works well with Clients and opposing counsel.
It has been an outstanding representation. I have highly recommend Rachael Hammer to friends and acquaintances who have required legal assistance.

This past spring, my husband and I sought the counsel of Rachel Hammer for a very concerning issue with our next door neighbors. Ms. Hammer, understanding the sensitivity and complex issues dealing with a neighbor, wrote two letters on our behalf. Her approach was thoughtful, measured and practical while supportive of both parties knowing we would likely be neighbors for a long time. We would not hesitate to seek her legal advice and services for future actions. Her vast experience in these types of disputes, expert legal advice and sound judgment make her an outstanding attorney we would highly recommend. We also appreciated the professionalism of her paralegal who provided us with excellent assistance and support during this process.

He calmly and patiently worked through our issue guiding us through the process with an earnest desire to look out for our best interests (not his!). My wife and I could not have been more pleased with John - he took time out of his day, at a moment's notice, to provide cogent, clear, consistent and correct advice in handling a home purchase contract dispute.

Prior to our consultation phone call, he sent us a wealth of information from what he had read from our overview of the case. It was all super helpful and I appreciated how much time he put into that message. During the whole time we retained him, it was clear how experienced and knowledgable he was. He was very understanding of our situation and is very to the point. No nonsense. Definitely would recommend doing a consultation with him to see if he can help with your case!

Ben handled the case from start to finish smoothly, always being professional, attentive and responsive. I was amazed how quickly he picked up on the case details and was very reassuring in my first conversation with him. He was polite, firm and very objective/calm with the tenants.

It was my first time using a real estate lawyer and the experience was excellent and hassle free. Thank you Ben!

I consulted with, and hired, Brian Fayman to help with the details of my mother's estate after her passing. From the first meeting with Brian I knew I would hire him. He listened intently while I explained a complicated executor situation. I never felt rushed during appointments or phone conversations. After I told Brian what I was looking for and that I needed assistance in moving forward, he methodically outlined my options. He provided a sense of calm during an emotionally charged time. He helped me throughout the entire process from start to finish with my mother's estate. I was kept in the loop at all times when correspondences were sent to other parties and Brian was available to me via phone and email to answer any questions I had. I highly recommend Brian based on my experience working with him. Not only is he excellent in his profession, but he is a kind person. I still stay in touch with Brian and sought his services for additional legal needs about a year after I hired him for the estate settlement. I like to think of Brian as my attorney, but also a friend. He is a straight shooter and you will always know your options but never feel pressured. Brian will guide you with his expert advice yet allowing the client to make the choices on what they want to do. I recommend Brian with enthusiasm and confidence in his ability. He is a superb attorney.

Phil and our family share the same last name, but we are not actually related. Phil has been our family attorney for over a decade now. We trust him and his legal advice indubitably. He has been our counsel through numerous commercial and real estate transactions. He consistently keeps us abreast of changing situations during the deals and always includes/explains to us, as the client, for all decision making. He is always available via email and telephone, most times with 1-day or less response time.
His advice errs on the side of cautious and protective of our interests, which is exactly what you want from an attorney. His entire team at his firm is knowledgeable and equally trustworthy.
Bonus, is that he can understand quite a bit of the Korean language verbally, and can even speak it a little. However his English is perfect and written communications are always clear and concise.

Mr. Wolcott and the Wolcott team were amazing at handling my car accident case. They helped me receive a fair claim and I couldn’t have asked for a better team on my side. They supported me through out the entire process and were always available to take my questions. They put 100% of effort in helping me close my case! Mr. Wolcott and his team are wonderful and I can’t thank them enough. This was my first accident I was involved in (not at fault) and Mr. Wolcott eased the process tremendously. He took away a lot of stress of trying to handle a claim with insurances alone and I cannot be more grateful for his assistance. I recommend Mr. Wolcott and the entire firm to everyone. You won’t regret hiring this team!

After reaching an impasse with our business partners earlier this year, Attorney Wolcott was hired to represent our interest in a buy-out/separation agreement. After listening to the details surrounding our case, he provided initial insight into how best to proceed, then set realistic expectations for what to expect throughout the process. Attorney Wolcott went above and beyond to remain reachable throughout the process, provided quick follow ups for emails/phone calls, and delivered all necessary materials in a timely manner. We highly recommend Attorney Wolcott and the entire Wolcott/Rivers/Gates Law Firm to anyone in need of representation!

Neil has been instrumental in helping me start my business; not a small task as anyone who has tried would know. Without Neil, I'm not sure I could have navigated the myriad complexities of law that are not in my personal area of expertise. Negotiations, contracts, non-disclosure agreements, personnel law; the list goes on. More than that, I'm not just another client to him. He's there when I have an emergency and cares about enabling my company success.

Neil Richmond and Attentive law group are top notch professionals. Being a business owner, I have many colleagues throughout Loudoun County and Neil came highly recommended from several of them. Neil delivered and exceeded on that recommendation.
My wife and I own an in home personal training business and we have used Neil several times over the past two years for writing up contracts and dealing with any infractions that arise.
What we really liked in the beginning of working with Neil is how transparent he was about his process and his fee structure. There were never any hidden fees and once the work is done he gives you a print out of exactly what he did with the time.
Aside from writing contracts, Neil as also been an advisor to myself and my wife if we ever has any questions about legal issues in our business, he is extremely knowledgeable.
I highly recommend Neil to anyone who needs a extremely professional, honest and transparent lawyer. And one who can speak to you in terms that you understand.

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.
