Once I had made the decision to file for bankruptcy, I found the process of finding the right lawyer to be frightening and overwhelming, but once I sat down with Neil at the initial consultation, he immediately helped me feel at ease. He took his time explaining the entire process, what to expect before, during and after filing, the types of filings that were the best options for me as well as his experience and qualifications. He patiently listened to all of my concerns and answered all my questions. I am grateful to have retained his and his partner Kamini's services. They were always available and took the extra step to check in and make sure I understood everything throughout each step. They are an extremely kind and knowledgeable team.

When I torn about what to do with my credit card debt I googled for a bankruptcy attorney and came across Neil Ackerman's name. I guess Google liked me that day because I hit the jackpot. Mr. Ackerman's firm took the time to explain to me all options and did not force me into anyone. They were with me every step of the way and even after my bankruptcy was discharged.
If you are in need to determine the best avenue to go down, I would highly suggest contacting Neil Ackerman and have them get you though one of the toughest times of your lives. I couldn't be happier today!

I was in a very difficult situation during the oncoming COVID crisis and on the verge of a catastrophe with my company and personal finances. I went to Lawyer Andrew M. Thaler for advice. I was very impressed by his patience in hearing out my problems and his self confidence and knowledge of the law in his honest recommendations on the course of action to be taken for the best outcome in my situation, without any bias for his own financial enrichment. But what was more astounding was the flexibility he showed during and after the court case. With Andrew, it is not money by the minute, but integrity, his work ethics and his compassion for the client. I recommend Andrew to anybody who wants a pleasant and the right experience and at the same time, deal with an excellent lawyer.

Met Mr. Borofsky in tenant/landlord during my darkest hours and he was able to negotiate a fair settlement with my landlord. It was his kind and compassionate demeanor that prevented my family from going on the streets. It was a few years later I called for my divorce proceedings, while my last attonery with their fancy office and many awards on the walls and charging me outrageous fees walked out on me. Steven stepped in and got more done in a month then the other attorney in two years! Steven, renewed my faith in the system and guided me through such a difficult time. I should of used him years ago and saved myself thousands! Now my friends are asking me who is my lawyer and I say, Steven Jay Borofsky! Not just a divorce attorney! I tell my friends all the time, if you need a honest and reasonable priced attorney, call Mr. Borofsky and feel confident your getting the best legal advice!

Mr. Borofsky is an excellent and a very professional lawyer. He recently did a will for me and a health care proxy. He always returns your calls and wants to make sure that you are happy with what he has done for you. Mr. Borofsky "aims to please"! He is currently working on another case for me. I will continue to hire Mr. Borofsky for any other work I may have in the future. I highly recommend him, he is fantastic and "most of all honest". ( dr)

I was the executor of my father's very complex estate: FL and NY estates, multiple properties to sell, etc. Donna ALWAYS replied swiftly to my phone calls, letters or emails. Every problem or complication was dealt with thoroughly, efficiently and I was kept apprised of every detail. Nobody ever wants to NEED an attorney, but when you do, you will never do better than to have Donna in your corner!

I cannot thank John Virdone and his team enough for their exceptional expertise in elder and family law. From the moment I contacted the John Virdone Law Firm, I felt reassured and supported, despite the complexities of my case. John quickly understood our unique situation and crafted a solid legal strategy to protect my and my mother's rights and our family's unity.
I have witnessed John Virdone’s competence as a skilled litigator and defense attorney in every interaction and courtroom appearance. I am impressed by his personal attention and his ability to clearly explain legal matters. He has shown a remarkable commitment to addressing my questions promptly and thoroughly. John genuinely cares about achieving the best outcome for his clients.
Although my case is still ongoing, I feel compelled to share my experience, at this time, to help someone else who may need a trustworthy, dedicated, and knowledgeable advisor in elder law and family law. I look forward to updating my review, at the conclusion of our case. Thx, MCoppin

Going through a time where "struggling" is the biggest understatement in the world having a lawyer like Lisa in your corner makes all the difference. My case was super complicated and unique but Lisa was open and honest about the entire process and things worked out better and faster than I ever dreamed. 10/10 would recommend !

I don't know what Lisa did for these other people below but she was on my case for over 6 years and I heard from her maybe twice a year. I rarely got returned calls or emails, and was not kept up to date on what was going on at all. I did most of my own investigation. About $10,000 later I finally got the nerve to move to a different lawyer, who closed my case in ONE week. I was shocked and felt sick to my stomach on how I was taken advantage of.

I hired this firm to help me where child support enforcement had failed me for 5 years. I fully explained the complications of my case, and that I had been filling violations for 5 years. My goal was to have garnishment. I am still not receiving child support payments and the attorney does not return my correspondence.
He assured me that he understood my case, yet he did not persuit avenues that would secure payment of the child support order such as supbonea of facts, letter to employer, My children are left with no child support.

This guy has no experience I don't know now but back in 2010 he has worsened my condition...he withdrew my I 485 then he followed me to Boston at my interview where I was picked up by ICE...I got my I 120 approved on the second attempt with a different lawyer but no more pending I 485 thanks to him...I have to redo the whole thing which is now complicating my motion to reopen, I'm not a lawyer but I don't think this made any sense..the officer at the interview asked him why he withdrew it and mr couldn't give an answer...my point is I like honest people honest lawyers that will tell you that they can't handle your case instead of taking your money and not knowing what they doing ...I wouldn't sent even my enemy to him, that's how bad he is to me....he took $1000 to withdraw my application then I pay for his trip to Boston thinking I have a strong back up just for me to get arrested...He didn't want me to go to the interview but I insisted to go. What good lawyer will tell you not to go to the interview cuz u might be picked up instead of helping you to go and not get pick up??? I approached another lawyer later on who seriously told this " listen at time law is also whom you know and where, so I suggest you get a lawyer in Boston where your case is" see I did not know that this matters at times but he was honest to me...
Stay away from babalola if u have a case that needs expertise because I believe he got 0 experience.

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.
