Bill Erhart was very professional and thorough. Covered many things that we had never considered. Having delt with two family loses as the executor, I understand how it can be very complicated and emotionally distressing handling and closing out the estate of a loved one. My wife and I feel that our survivors will have a much better experience with our estate due to Mr. Erhart's preparation. He also help us with current issues that put us in a much better position to improve the quality of our retirement. We recommend his expertise and service very highly.

I cannot thank John La Rosa enough for helping me with my discrimination case a few years ago. I still reap the benefits of his great work today. John represented me against an employer who refused promotion and career growth while working in the company. As a diverse individual, I was often overlooked, bullied, and told I was incapable of advancement. Even though, I felt rather hopeless and afraid to step forward, John provided excellent reassurance when it came to my equal opportunity case. He was very empathetic, attentive, and supportive of my needs and what I trying to accomplish. His services were well worth the value, and he handled my case with the utmost care and professionalism. Within 2 months or less, I was elevated to a new position within the company and received due process (back pay wages, tuition reimbursement, health assistance, additional fees, etc). If you want or need an attorney when it comes to employment law, John La Rosa is your guy. Thank you, John.

I hired Woody to be my lawyer on 2 separate car accidents. After the first accident I was so pleased with Woodys work that I decided to hire him after my 2nd accident. Everything went like the first lawsuit and the case went to settlement. I was under the impression that all of my medical bills have been settled and paid according the settlement documents. After a couple years of not paying attention to my credit score I find out that the largest medical bill that was suppose to be paid was never paid according to the hospitals billing department. I went back into my settlement documents to confirm it was suppose to be paid and I immediately tried reaching out to the eveland law firm. I was able to speak with Della on the phone whom said she would look into this but went out on leave shortly after. I've been trying to get Woody on the phone to talk about this but he won't answer or return my calls. The last email I received from Woody he said he has been busy so we scheduled a day and time we can discuss this over the phone but he never answered his phone or returned my phone call. I am getting very frustrating, this $15,000 medical bill that is suppose to be paid, instead is sitting in collections and is destroying my credit, preventing me to be able to purchase anything. I am extremely disappointed with Woody and his lawfirm and I wish he would remove my review from his website. I use to recommend Woody to everyone I know that needed a lawyer but no longer, I tell them don't hire Eveland law firm.

I have known and worked with Woody for better than 20 years (as much as I hate to admit it) He is the only attorny I would use. Having him on your side is like having family on your side. He is kind, efficent, trustworthy, and honest with you, like it or not! I appreciate that in him. I don't know of too many attornies that are upfront and honest. He represented me through a long case and several attorny changes on the other side. He never let me down, and he is still representing me. I wouldn't want any one else.

Mr. Eveland is helping me work through the maze of personal injury law. My case is in process.
I have also consulted with him on another matter, he was responsive and gave me answers in a very tight time frame. This help me make a decision that I felt comfortable and informed.
I feel that he has my interest in mine and will work throught this long process to gain the best result for me.

Jacobs & Crumplar took on my medical malpractice case when no other firm would. Courtney Prinski and paralegal, Lynn Hyde heard me out, treated me with kindness, honesty, and respect , and applied the full force of their resources and knowledge of the law to get me the successful outcome and closure that I deserved.
Courtney Prinski is an intelligent force of nature who doesn’t sell her clients short. She and Lynn Hyde kept me fully informed at all times and made me feel we were really a team.
I highly recommend Jacobs & Crumplar. Five stars isn’t enough.

I just want to share my experience with this law firm. I was turned down by several well known law firms however, I continued looking and time was running out. I called Jacob's and Crumplar and they sit up an appointment with me. The attorney I saw was David . I wasn't disappointed at all . David walked me through everything. I was totally satisfied with the outcome. I plan to let others know. Thanks again David

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.
