Myself and my former roommates worked with Arthur in order to resolve a dispute with our former landlord. Arthur worked directly with us and was consistently attentive and professional throughout the process. He did an excellent job of explaining all applicable laws and procedures, thereby making the process far less stressful than we were expecting. Additionally, he helped us reach a highly favorable conclusion to the matter in a relatively short period of time and for very reasonable fees. I would highly recommend Arthur to anybody dealing with similar disputes and would not hesitate to hire him again in the future.

My introduction to Frank was through someone else, however they couldn't have been more correct that he was the person to help me with my situation. When it comes to firearms in NJ, things can be quite complicated and quite tricky. When it comes down to really dissecting the law and really determining the right course of action, Frank helped me do that. He was very responsive and timely in all communications and you can tell what is important to him is the people that reach out and hire him. If he is your attorney, you will know that he cares to do what is right to help you. He will tell you what he thinks and how the laws are written, so be ready for that, but I could not have asked for a better experience in the 2A arena.

I spoke with Frank Pisano to make sure I was in compliance with some laws. He was extremely knowledgeable, priced very fair compared to others I called. I compared prices due to being disabled and paying a large fee was not feasible for me. His specialties are Firearms, which is very important with the constant changing gun laws in NJ and staying in compliance, and personal injury attorney. He personally called me right back on his personal phone on his day off while out to lunch, and said he’ll call me when he was done and he did just that. He further explained what I needed to do and we set up a meeting at his office. Everything was resolved quickly and far exceeded my expectations of what the outcome would be. I highly recommend Frank for any firearm issues or legal problems due to the constant changing laws and also for personal injury. He talks to you like family while gathering all the important facts. You won’t be disappointed in the representation or legal help Frank Pisano provides.

I consulted Mr. Pisano on a matter, where my firearms were seized pursuant to frivolous temporary restraining order that my ex filed against me. His thoughtful explanations of the processes involved, from both the legal and practical perspectives, were illuminating. Frank greatly helped in clearing my name and having my firearms returned. Unfortunately, it seems rare in the legal field to find an attorney that's aggressive when need be but also human in understanding the client's situation.
Highly recommended.

I highly recommend Dale Cottam of Bailey Stock Harmon Cottam Lopez. Dale's pricing was reasonable—and he was gracious, insightful, straight-shooting, efficient, and effective. My associates and I were facing some bad actors of extreme wealth, so things could have gone south in a hurry. Dale rightly anticipated what the other party would do, and he knew when to push and when to let things go. I appreciated his wisdom, street-smarts, and get-'er-done approach. We were all the better for his help—and I would invest in his legal expertise again.

9 months ago, I reached out to Joseph at J.S. Fritzon Law to see if he would be able to help me litigate a case between an abusive employer and myself. He told me in the beginning it would not be a very big case however he would be happy to take the case based on the information that I provided. Over the next 9 months he was attentive to the case he was responsive to me and he treated me like a human being. In the end he got a decent settlement for me. I would highly recommend using this person. He is a patient attorney and very effective. My former employer was hedge fund billionaires. They had no intention of treating me like a human being.

Title: Exceptional Service and Unmatched Expertise
I had the immense pleasure and fortune of being represented by Mr. Robert R. Beauchamp during my recent divorce proceedings. His professionalism, knowledge, and dedication were immediately evident from our very first meeting.
Mr. Beauchamp was thorough and precise in every aspect of my case. He took the time to explain each step of the process in a way that was easy to understand, ensuring I was fully informed and comfortable with every decision made. His expertise and meticulous approach left no stone unturned, and I felt confident that my interests were being expertly represented.
Despite the emotional turmoil that often comes with divorce, Mr. Beauchamp provided a sense of calm and reassurance. He was not only my attorney but also a steady source of support during a difficult time. His empathy and understanding made the process much more bearable than I could have ever imagined.
What sets Mr. Beauchamp apart is his commitment to his clients. I could always rely on him to be accessible and responsive. He consistently kept me updated and was quick to answer any questions or concerns I had. His strategic thinking, combined with his genuine care for his clients, makes him an outstanding choice for anyone going through a divorce.
In conclusion, my experience with Mr. Robert R. Beauchamp was nothing short of positive. His exceptional service, thoroughness, and precision were greatly appreciated during a challenging time. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a dedicated, knowledgeable, and compassionate divorce attorney.

Attorney Daniel Libbey is a rare find. I am very grateful to have him as my advocate. He served as second-chair trial counsel for my 9 day jury trial. I suffered injuries from exposure to toxic chemicals caused by my former property management company. Mr. Libbey’s diligence and understanding of legal nuances contributed to a verdict in my favor. He just does not give up no matter how challenging each day of trial became. Thank you for helping me, Dan!

Ryan Casson recently drafted a trust and will for my family. He was friendly, very knowledgeable, and he explained things in a way that was easily understandable. He is very detail-oriented and left no task undone. This was our first time having a will/trust drafted and he made the process easy. I’m an attorney myself so I know what to look for when hiring a lawyer. Ryan is the real deal.

We are very happy with our estate plan created by Ryan Casson! Ryan helped us navigate the issues we knew about, but more importantly helped us identify and address several problematic scenarios we hadn't even thought of. We appreciated his knowledge of both tax and elder law as both became important for our planning.
Ryan was easy to discuss issues with, and took the time to really understand our needs. We never felt rushed or embarrassed to ask him questions, and he was great at listening to our concerns. We feel confident that our plan is right for us as his attention to detail and obvious care to make sure we understood all issues removed any doubt. We can highly recommend Ryan to anyone who wants a comprehensive estate plan that covers all the bases.

Ryan was the only attorney who listened enough to actually help me define what I needed to do. Other attorneys I sought out didn’t listen and just dismissed my situation as too niche, and to go to the Bar Association for a referral (which they don’t do, by the way). Not only was he efficient and effective, he was soooooo incredibly kind and educational. Please go to him if you are the curious type and want to understand legal matters because he’s got a knack for clarity and extremely patient and sensitive, too. He made me feel supported and empowered. Thank you so much, Ryan!!!

Working with the law office of Cecelia Soboleski has been one of the best decisions I have ever made since my divorce process started.
I say this because despite the distance and time difference, I currently live here in the Philippines, we were able to communicate well. She manage to discuss the plans and educate me about the case thru zoom meetings and email. She gives you insight but she let’s you decide on everything. Zoom meetings were arrange so that it would both fit into our schedule. She would definitely reply to questions and clarification thru email.
Overall, Cecelia is efficient and truly an expert in her field of practice.

Things would not have turned out this great without her effort, expertise, and her fierceness to make all of the right
moves.

Eugene worked with us on our home closing in 2020. He was patient, gracious, and professional. Any time we had questions, he spent as much time as we needed making sure we understood any given step in the process. When the sellers' attorney started dragging their feet, Eugene was quick to unstick everything and keep the process moving forward. We felt like we had an advocate we could trust and couldn't be happier!

We reached out to Josh looking for a local lawyer who understood real estate law in Alameda and Contra Costa County. Furthermore, his understanding of both tent and landlord rights was instrumental in our decisions on how to proceed as we were concerned with our liability as we had documented everything to the best of our abilities and never thought we would be in this predicament fighting to keep what was ours. With Josh services and persistence we were able to avoid a lengthy and draining legal battle due to Josh through review of our case and his outline of approaches available to us (each with pros and cons detailed), reminding us that all of these options will result in justice and fairness but all with various timelines and costs. As we prepared for a lengthy battle Josh persisted to communicate with the other party convincing them that it was in their favor to resolve the issue quickly and justly.

I called and was astonished with the fact I got through to an actual person. I have reached out to many other lawyers offices with no luck. I was given amazing advice from William Pettersen for a case. Even though he wasn't able to take my case at this time; I was offered detailed information, what specifics of the law I need to know about, recommended other attorneys, and also gave me notes to pass along for a more professional reference. I would recommend this practice 100%. Thank you so much.

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:

- 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.

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.

- 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.
