We had an extremely great experience with Mr Fredrick G. Voigtmann. My girlfriend was having so much trouble with her ESTA and Mr. Voigtmann came in and saved the day. Not only did he help us extremely quickly with our issue, he was a very pleasant man. Very experienced and helpful. Thank you again! Definitely will contact again for future cases!

This law office has been the biggest breath of fresh air for my partner and I. I seriously do not know where we would be without them. Immigration law can be a very complex and nerve-wrecking thing. But from the moment I first talked with Fred and his team they were incredibly understanding to my situation.
This review alone does not justify how helpful and amazing they have been but I hope it shines a light on how amazing they are. We are very fortunate to have people like them specializing in such a complicated profession and do it in a way that feels less stressful through thorough detail, and kindness/friendliness.
One of my biggest worries when finding a law office to help us was that they would not listen to me in detail and just want the 'shortened' version of things rather than understanding the full range of the situation and what led to our nail-biting situations.
Fred and Stephany carefully listened to every single thing I had to say, and I honestly felt as if they cared for my partner and I as if we were their close-family. I genuinely felt a connection with them and felt that they wanted the best for us.
It's hard to explain that connection over a review, but your best bet is to find out for yourself. I highly suggest that if you are seeking for legal advice to please consider their office and find out for yourself why the office is so highly reputable. I stand by my word when I say you will not regret it one bit.

This entire office was a pleasure to work with! My wife and I are a queer couple and the entire office was so kind, respectful and really spent the time with us at each step. The entire process was sooo quick! Extra special shout out to Stephanie, as she put our anxieties at ease and really took care of our concerns and our case as a whole. They were quick to file, quick with email correspondence. I highly recommend this firm esp if you happen to be LGBTQ+.

I cannot express how grateful I am for the support I received from Bob during one of the most challenging times in my life. When my dignity was called into question, I felt lost and vulnerable. However, Bob stepped in and provided not just legal assistance, but a reassuring presence that made all the difference.
From our very first meeting, it was clear that Bob is exceptionally skilled at what he does. His professionalism is unmatched – he approached my case with a level of dedication and insight that immediately put my mind at ease. Bob took the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions thoroughly, and always kept me informed about the progress of my case. It was evident that he genuinely cares about his clients and their well-being.
What sets Bob apart is not just his legal expertise, but his ability to connect on a personal level. He understood the emotional toll that the situation was taking on me and provided the support I needed to navigate through it with dignity. His empathy, combined with his strategic approach, ultimately led to a positive outcome.
I genuinely cannot thank Bob enough for his guidance and support. If you ever find yourself in need of a lawyer, do yourself a favor and reach out to Bob. He is not only a remarkable attorney but also an advocate who will stand by you every step of the way. Highly recommended!

Benn working with Mr. Farahan for over a year, we was recommended to me and now I recommend him to you. In my DUI case things were looking very bad for me.. But Mr. Farahan pulled off the impossible and got me a slap on the wrist compared to the harsh sentence I was looking at. Just finished a final checkup with the Judge who had forgotten about this case and even he was surprised we got this sentence reduced! Bob made every penny worth it as my record will be clean as a whistle soon 👍🏽

I was looking everywhere for a lawyer to handle my case to evict a tenant. Luckily, I found Sep! I drove 2 hours to meet him to consult my case, and it was well worth my time. We won the eviction and was able to get my property back all in one piece. That’s not all, he went above and beyond to help me claim money back from the insurance to cover the costs and repairs. I’m happy that I’ve found a lawyer that truly has my back. Definitely would recommend him to anyone that needs an attorney!

I was just looking at my peer reviews on Avvo and thought I have to do one for Sep. I'm an attorney and Sep is actually my attorney. He first contacted me to be an expert witness on a foreclosure matter and after many conversations with him I hired him to represent me on a case. So far, he's represented me on two matters, and while litigation is not pleasant for the participants (not sure if it's worse or better when you yourself are an attorney) it was always a relief knowing Sep was my attorney. When people hire me and leave my office saying they feel a weight lifted from their shoulders that is the highest compliment.
That is what I can say about Sep; that is exactly how I feel when I retain him. When he is handling your matter, your mind can be at peace as long as you do what he asks and trust him.

Mr. Sepehr Omrani is one of the top lawyers I have ever hired! You notice his passion for his job as soon as you talk to him. He has great communication skills, willing to listen, assertive and very respectful. He handled my case with confidence,and great judgment. He is experienced and very knowledgeable. He was clear and concise during our communication, organized, and on time. I was very fortunate to have found you! Thank you very much for all you have done. I did not have any stress having you by my side and that meant the world to me and my family. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer.

I had a horrible situation where the apartment manager of my complex used his financial means to coerce someone into committing perjury and submitting a false declaration against me to get a restraining order to kick me out of my building. The apt. mgr had hired a federal prosecutor and was out to ruin my life, but Fadi and his team would not back down and we ended up settling outside of court. Fadi cares about his clients and not only is he a shrewd lawyer, but he's also a good man and I will be forever grateful. I always refer him.

If you really want a direct, personal, and honest experience with a lawyer, Fadi Amer is the man to go to. I had complications with my insurance claim after I had gotten into a car accident. I ended up trying a few different attorneys before I ended up with Mr. Amer. From the very beginning, I was warmly welcomed to the firm (with lots of smiles and care), and was able to see Mr. Amer, not too long after my arrival. He had already looked into my case, and immediately started to go over it with me detail by detail, explaining everything along the way. In all honesty, what made him stand out was how upfront he was with the situation and at the same time I can really see that he is a caring person. Despite Mr. Amer's professionalism, he still made me feel very comfortable to the point where I felt as if I have known him for years. Also, what I really liked was the fact that he followed up with case almost immediately and constantly, making sure that all my questions were answered. Plus his first consultation is super cheap. Give him a call, I guarantee you that you find a lawyer that will be as helpful, professional, and caring as him.

I was involved in a very serious car accident which left me severly injured and left with a limp. I want and saw 3 other personal injury attorneys and just hated how pushy and salesmen like they were. Fadi was 180 degrees different and actually encouraged me to see other attorneys. Everything about my experience with Law22 was excellent, and the overall result of my case was more than I expected. As soonas Fadi took over my case I felt instantly relieved and I knew that they were going to take care of me. I highly recommend Mr. Amer!

I hired Robert Adler, at the last minute, to represent me at trial against a collection agency. This agency sued me because I refused to pay for services that I did not want or ask for. Mr. Adler took charge at the Mandatory Settlement Conference (“MSC”). Because of Mr. Adler’s persuasive meditation skills, the deal he made with the collection agency was fair, and I am more than satisfied with the result. Mr. Adler did not come cheap but he was totally worth it. I would use his expertise again, and I would definitely recommend him.

Robert, Mr. Adler is a wonderful attorney with decades of experience and knowledge. His wisdom and expertise guided me through a very complex and multi faceted real estate "issue". Having him as council made me feel I was completely protected which gave me piece of mind. Priceless period. I knock on wood that I was able to have the pleasure of him fighting for my legal rights and protections. I suppose it would be redundant to say that I highly recommend him. I do!! He's terrific and I wish I was as smart as him. If I was, I'd still go to him for council. I suggest if you have an issue or need your rights protected, he'll be a great champion for them.

I recently hired an attorney and in the middle of my case she quit practicing. My case was turned over to Glenn Ward's office. I was little worried at first but their knowledgeable staff contacted me explaining all the details. I met with Mr. Lafayette Ward and other staff members and each time I was impressed with their personal attention and high quality service. On my court date Glenn Ward was present and took care of my case and my financial problems are all solved. My experience with Glenn Ward was nothing but High quality service, great customer care and personal attention to my case. I highly recommend him.
Thank you Mr. Ward for a great service
Your happy client

The one person I would call is Nicholas Rozansky, Esq. period. Period. As a long term client with a lot of experience I can assure you he knows what to do in any situation and that is why he is the perfect attorney. He has a brilliant legal mind, but also understands the nuances and organic nature of his dealings and how to effect the best outcome. He is always ultra responsive and most important of all trustworthy.

I first met Nick when he was hired as opposing counsel in a business litigation matter. I was so extremely impressed with the results that he obtained for his client in that matter, that on the next occasion I had to hire a litigation attorney, I called Nick.
Nick is an attorney that quickly understands and masters the details in cases that have voluminous documentation and many factual and legal nuances. He is really an attorney's attorney. He is able to develop very novel but compelling arguments, and does not get bogged down or mistake the forest for the trees. He keeps his billing very reasonable, keeping in mind that achieving a good result for his client is the primary directive.
For these reasons I highly recommend Nick.

My experience with Steve Lovett was an extraordinary one. To describe Mr. Lovett as a capable and experienced attorney would be an understatement. His knowledge of the law and his experience in the courtroom made easy work of the opposing party. His skillful and deliberate methods picked apart every claim made against my business and my integrity. If you are looking for an attorney with unquestionable talent and a knack for winning, look no further! You will be in capable hands with Mr. Lovett. His expertise was worth every penny.

Referred by a personal friend we share, who I don't think used Michael professionally, I was pleasantly surprised to find a lawyer who's business acumen most impressive. Great listener, saw angles I hadn't imagined, showed up on short notice to sit through a long boring meeting as if he had all day, and gave great suggestions during the meeting. After the meeting he debriefed me in a manner that let me know it was more about my benefit than his billing. At the end, I was simply grateful for his wise counsel. I rarely do this type of 'rate your experience' survey, but for this man, who is a talented pro and now a trusted 'friend of the business', I'm glad to have the chance. Michael is top notch. I'd recommend him to family.

I have had quite alot of run-ins with the law and I can say that this lawyer, Mr. Higgins, has been the most efficient and hard working counsel I have ever witnessed in any court.

Had an excellent experience with Frish Law Group. To say that I needed "hand holding" would be an understatement. As I'm sure most people are, I was quite unfamiliar with the law when it came to my case. They walked me through each and every step to ensure that I was comfortable throughout the entire process. Phones are always answered, attorneys always available. Do you guys ever sleep? What else can I say, A+++++ service and I'll be referring people here for years to come. THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!

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.

It's important to clarify the fee structure with your attorney before hiring them to avoid any surprises.

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.

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.
