My experience with The Law Offices of Isabel Castillo changed my family’s life. Thanks to her and her team my husband is finally a permanent resident. Isabel was kind, courteous, and made me feel confident that my husband’s case would one day come to a close and it did. I cannot thank her enough for helping us make our dream a reality. If you are looking for an experienced attorney to handle your immigration needs, Isabel is the lawyer for you.

Isabel put together a comprehensive Green Card application for me. Her approach was extremely detailed. When USCIS requested additional information, she promptly responded. As a result of her representation, I was awarded my GC. I plan to hire Isabel again when it is time for me to apply for citizenship.

We used Marc to create our living trust and other necessary documents. He and his team explained everything clearly, took care of transferring our residence into the trust and even two years later, they still answer any questions we have. I would highly recommend his services. Very nice man and trustworthy.

Adele Graham is amazing, kind and extremely professional. She helped us buy our home with ease and a peace of mind. She knew how to answer all of our questions and always went the extra mile. All of our phone calls were always answered or she called back within minutes. Communication and professionalism is very important to me. If you want a smooth sailing purchase on a property, I definitely recommended Adele. Thank you Adele.

I've used Adelina for the purchase and sale of my co-op and she was so helpful during the entire process. It was my first time purchasing a property and she was very patient, answered all my questions and kept me updated and informed during the entire process. I reccomended her to my parents as well. They used her for the purchase of their own co-op and they had the same experience as I did. She makes you feel very comfortable and at ease during, what can be a very stressful time. If I make another real-estate purchase I'll use her legal services again for sure.

I called upon Grant for his help with a real estate matter, and was very impressed with him. He absolutely went above and beyond to help me, and his prompt and professional assistance made a stressful situation much easier to handle. Ultimately I was very satisfied with the resolution of this issue, which had haunted me for years. I wish I had contacted Grant sooner.
Grant is not only highly knowledgeable, bright, and hardworking, but also kind and trustworthy. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to others.

Grant has helped me get through a two year legal process and he did so with clarity and great guidance. His phone calls and zoom meetings to explain his thought process and foresight was very well informed as well as easily understandable on a client’s perspective.
I highly recommend him to solve your legal issues and he’ll get it done as fast as possible!

I have worked with Christina Saunders on multiple legal matters (primarily contract disputes and licensing agreements) and she she has always been the absolute best attorney I could ask for. She is deeply knowledgeable, kind, courteous, fast, and is above all patient when it comes to explaining in detail what I need to understand in each instance where she is working. I always know that I'm in great hands whenever I need to bring Christina in for her assistance and guidance. I highly recommend her services and expertise to anyone.

The value of competent legal counsel cannot be overstated for an innovative startup. As the founder of Somm Says, my team and I have benefited immensely from Christina’s advice, guidance, and representation. She has helped navigate contracts, settle trademark disputes, manage specialty counsel, and act as our most trusted advisor. I have the highest regard for this team and I’m excited for our continued partnership.

Rachel recently helped us with the sale of our co-op apartment in Brooklyn. She was the most kind and helpful attorney we have ever worked with. This building had a particularly complicated structure that she helped us understand and she navigated us through our sale with ease. Going above and beyond making herself available to answer all of our questions and guide us each step of the way! We couldn’t have done it without her. Hope to work with her again in the future!

Christopher handled the sale of our townhome. He made the experience so easy and pleasant. One of the most stressful things you will do, and he answered all our questions before we even paid him a retainer. We will recommend him to all of our friends and family. If we still lived in Staten Island, we would use him for all of our estate needs. Best call we made.

Terrance was an exceptional lawyer. He’s very thorough and patient, taking the time to explain all the details involved in buying a home and all the paperwork involved. Easy to work with for a first-time buyer, he made the process go smoothly and always looked out for us. There were no surprises with him and his team. Don’t hesitate to work with him. He’s also super punctual and personable.

I can not begin to express my gratitude and gratefulness with my overall experience with Karyn Washington and her services. To state that my court coals and support during the process were more than satisfactory, would be an understatement. Her professionalism and promptness were above and beyond. Exemplary performance in her research, knowledge and guidance. I would recommend her services with the highest regards.

When my partner and I realized we were going to have to hire an attorney for our family court case it was very important to us that we find one with empathy, kindness, and a passion for protecting children from the worst impulses of a high-conflict ex. We searched high and low, took multiple introductory calls with several attorneys, but when we discovered Attorney Karyn Washington we instantly felt at home. Through the entire process, Karyn was there to take our calls, to strategize with us, to comfort us, and to help us understand the often unfair and unjust nature of family court with wisdom and empathy. When my ex hired a ghoul of an attorney who fit every bad lawyer stereotype, Karyn was there to do battle with him, a petite yet powerful woman standing toe-to-toe with one of those men who obviously don’t think women should practice law. We hadn’t hired an attorney after all. We had hired a warrior.
Karyn knows the law, and she knows how to exploit the hubris of aging, know-it-all lawyers.
We absolutely cannot recommend Attorney Washington enough.
In a world full of “Karens” hire a Karyn.
Hire *this* Karyn.

My experience with Shara Kamal was excellent. My closing did not happen due to reasons beyond our control but she did her best to attempt to salvage the deal when challenges occurred. More importantly she stepped in and saved the day when the seller attempted to withhold our earnest money. I would have not known what to do without her guidance. I'm looking forward to working with her on my next transaction.

I met Shara through a recommendation and I’m glad I did! I was extremely well taken care of from start to finish. She had my best interest in mind throughout the entire process. I always felt like I could ask when unclear or make requests and she was willing to hear me out and do everything in her power to accommodate. I was very pleased with the representation I received from Shara, and will use her for any real estate dealings I might have in the future.

I am a landlord in NJ, However, this is not my main income. I own a luxury condo and I rent it out.
I hired Tom to represent me in a tenant/landlord case. Tom was very professional right from the beginning of our relationship. One of Tom’s best qualities I noticed was his ability to think ahead. It seemed as though throughout the process Tom always had an answer or a response to whatever game my tenant was trying to play. Until ultimately, at the end, the tenant had no more cards left to play and we got what we were looking for.
I don’t know much about the legal system and quite frankly I don’t care to. I own my own successful business. I’m very busy. I am the kind of person who likes to stay in my own lane and let Tom do his job.
If you are looking for an attorney that understands the law inside and out and also makes you feel confident throughout the process that he is in your corner, I suggest you retain Tom Major. I would certainly go to war with him any day of the week.

Thomas and his team represented me in Landlord-Tenant dispute. The entire team is very knowledgeable and responsive. Most of the time Landlord think that they may know enough but there are minor peculiarity that we're likely to miss. Thomas has such in-depth experience and he could think 2 steps ahead. My delinquent tenant tried her best so that I make a mistake but Thomas and his team were by my side and always gave me the right advice and finally my tenant gave in on the day of Eviction.

As I reflect on my life and all the trial and tribulations that my family and I endured, there has been one constant staple and that is Mr. Lawrence Baker. Larry cared for our family as if we were part of his. Both my husband and I went through divorces prior to be married to one another. Our family faced many losses of loved ones and had to deal with the unfortunate battles within surrogate court. When I went out on a limb to stand up to my employer thru the Human Rights Division, Larry came out on that limb with me. Through it all, Larry never waivered, he remained diligent as our counsel and remained loyal as a friend. In the 22+ years that our family and Mr. Baker have teamed together to secure our family's future, I can firmly state there is no one better to go into battle with than Mr. Baker. Integrity, pure honesty, diginity, loyal, compassionate, etc. The Griffin family is honored that Mr. Baker welcomed us as clients.

I am obliged to post my review since the reviews and comments here has lead me to a right decision of choosing Julia Jayne. She is one of a kind- prompt in answering emails, calls and inquiries, approachable, honest, straightforward, witty, pro active. We’ve only met for a short time, she listened, had genuine concern, and had acted right away. My case was resolved in less than half an hour. And even after that, Julia still reached out when she has concerns. And she only charged reasonable fees. Words are not enough to thank Julia for what she has done. No one would wanna be in a position where you need to consult or hire a lawyer, but sometimes, that is life. Don’t hesitate, consult Julia. From my heart, I highly recommend her.

In our case, Julia got a great outcome by having a great strategy and pursuing it quickly. Julia is very very smart, which you can gather from the other reviews. She also listens, which was key to our case. She listened to us, she listened to the prosecutor, and she used all of the information she gathered. She communicates clearly, and made sure that we understood every step in the process and also the strategy that she pursued so energetically. She was effective at working with the experts that we needed. I highly recommend Julia.

Outstanding service! Unfortunately, my father became seriously ill very quickly, and my parents did not have a trust established. I reached out to David and his firm, and the personal service he provided was unbelievable. Within mere days, David not only finalized all the documents but personally met my parents at their home to complete the signing. I'm an attorney myself (in Las Vegas), and I can tell you that this is far and above the normal service typically provided. Thank you so, so much!

Alex did a presentation at a retirement planning course I attended. I was very impressed with the content of his presentation including and especially his demeanor.
Shortly after we met at his office where I also met Katie and Taylor. All 3 are just awesome and gave me the feeling that my estate planning was as important to them as it was to me.
Alex asked great probing questions, took great notes followed up with my Financial Planner and shortly after I received all of the documents. They were all prepared exactly right and we finished up with a signing in their office.
Alex and his team are first rate and I give them my highest recommendation.

If I could give a 10 Star Rating, I certainly would do so!! My husband and I had a very pleasant experience from start to finish with the services rendered at the Crumley Law Firm. Prior to our first meeting, I was very apprehensive about having to file bankruptcy. However, from our first meeting to our last, Mr. Crumley and his assistant, Lea made us feel comfortable and right at ease. They were very attentive to our needs, always showed kindness and concern and willing to answer all questions. While, filing bankruptcy was not an easy decision, I can now say, with their help, it was the right decision. I would highly recommend Crumley Law Firm to anyone seeking advice or legal assistance. Thank you Ben & Lea...you're the best!!

Autumn helped me through a high anxiety divorce from a narcissistic ex husband. She has a very personable approach; I felt heard and supported the entire process. She keeps it very real; fights like a bulldog but also let me know when I needed to reign it in; she was very down to earth on what the judge would and wouldn’t like for the best outcome. I had consulted with 3 other seasoned attorneys, and felt pretty defeated by the lack of connection; When I found autumn, I was honestly hesitant, as she was newer to the firm but instantly connected and she blew my expectations away with her meticulous depositions, financial facts down to the cents, and the heart she pours into her work. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking top-tier legal representation.

I will forever be grateful of all he did for me. He stood up to a large insurance company and never backed down. He got me a large cash settlement.

Anyone who has ever bought or sold a home knows how tedious the process can be. You can imagine the anxiety that my wife and I had at the thought of trying to do both at the same time.
After completing the process, and reviewing lessons learned, the one thing my wife and I know we will definitely do again is hire Steve Allen. Steve's professionalism and guidance, answering all of our questions and explaining things in terms that were easy to understand, through the entire process made things that much easier for my wife and I, and we look forward to using Steve's services for out future needs.

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.

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:

- 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.
