Mike knows his stuff. Not only did he get the points from my HOV violation completely removed, but he also got the fees reduced from $400 to just 150 bucks. The man is a lifesaver and I highly recommend him!

M. Pesochinsky became my lawyer after an unfortunate encounter I had with an officer who had been unfair and discriminatory towards me and which resulted in a mandatory court appearance. Had it not been for Mr Pesochinsky's knowledge and professionalism I would have never walked out of that courtroom unscathed. The law is there to protect our rights but without appropriate representation, there is just no way you can defend yourself against random discrimination. I owe so much to Mr. Pesochinsky whose empathy and competence have been priceless to me and my family, I can't recommend or thank him enough.

Ken fights with you to the end and will never give up. He's among the few who will fight the system and file appeals and federal suit to stop the state and anyone from taking away your constitutional rights. Ken saved my children and family and we are all indebted to him forever -- he won a case some of the best attorneys in the state couldn't be won because they are that corrupt -- Ken won after a long hard battle.
God bless you Ken and Godspeed to helping all those people in need of your legal services!

My wife and I worked with Diana on the sale of our home and we couldn't be happier. It is very obvious real estate is her expertise and she handled all of the issues and problems that arose with poise and professionalism. We have had multiple lawyers represent us in past real estate deals, I wish we would have found her first!

Maria is an experienced, intelligent, hard-working family law attorney. Her innovative thinking, attention to detail, and exceptional communication skills make her a force to be reckoned with. She is a fierce advocate for her clients, yet respected by her colleagues. Her honesty, integrity, and fair billing practices make her a rare find. She was always available when needed and very responsive any questions I had. I truly appreciate all that she did for me through a long contentious divorce. Her patience, kindness, and empathy were an invaluable asset to me during this very stressful time in my life. She went above and beyond and was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Maria to anyone in need of a family lawyer.

We trusted Ronda Cotroneo, believing she would secure partial custody of my grandchildren. Ronda advised my son to sign a contract if he ever wanted to see his children again. The contract actually took away his ability to visit. Several other attorneys questioned why my son signed the contract because they claimed it was the worst agreement they had ever seen. We would have been better off going in front of a judge with no attorney. If this contract can be reversed, it will cost a staggering amount to undo this damage. Ronda received $7000.00 and walked away, leaving us to bear the brunt of her actions. It was the worst experience ever; avoid her.

Absolutely horrendous experience. Does not communicate with client whatsoever. Does not communicate with other parties attornies whatsoever. His only excuse ever is his email is "down", which isn't an excuse in this day and age. Did not file any of the necessary paperwork; actually did not represent or seem to even care for/about client. Talks a big game but shows no knowledge in any of the fields he supposedly represents.

It was around March 2021 when my sister needed help with a divorce attorney and reached out to me to see if I knew anyone in the NJ/NY area. After a little research online, I came across Erol Gulistan's Firm in Wayne NJ which was only a few miles away from where my sister lived. I have immediately called him to speak about his services and he was very kind to go in depth and explain me the procedure, his fees and the prospective timeline. After a few calls, I have made an appointment with Erol and decided to drive up to NJ to meet up with him in person. So me and my sister visited him in his office and he was super caring and kind and re explained us the process. My sister immediately signed the contract, hired him and actually paid him $3500 right there leaving a balance of $1500 to be paid later which she then paid. So Erol started the process and he already knew the non cooperating husband's issue and was aware that this was no way an easy case and my sister needed help in all stages. So as soon as the process started and the paperwork was filed, Erol literally ghosted me and my sister. He has never ever returned a phone call from me nor from my sister. I have kept leaving him voicemails but he never showed the courtesy of returning them. My sister has been emailing him since April 2022 and there is not even a single email that he has replied. He literally has disappeared as soon as he got paid and never showed any care, due diligence or professionalism. So for those who are searching for a Divorce Attorney I guarantee you that this person will disappoint you in all ways. Do yourself a favor and go find a real attorney that will answer your questions, reply your emails, return your calls and not ghost you as soon as receiving their payment.

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.
