I recently had a consultation with Ali Shahrestani and I can't recommend him highly enough. He was incredibly thorough and took the time to explain everything in detail, clearing up so many questions I had. His professionalism, patience, and ability to break down complex legal matters made me feel confident and well-informed. I truly appreciate the time he dedicated to ensure I fully understood my options. Thank you so much, Ali Shahrestani for your outstanding service!

I would highly recommend Tyler Swain. He prepared our wills and powers of attorney. He was informative and very helpful to our specific needs.

31 Mar, 2020 by Joe
Mr. Swain has been my "go to" lawyer for nearly 20 years. He has helped me with Real Estate transactions, Business Formations and Dissolutions, Business Agreements and Estate Planning.
I have found him to be responsive, competent and highly professional.
When I have approached Tyler with issues outside his expertise he has introduced expert lawyers including employment law and sale of businesses, sometimes putting together a team to best accomplish the task. I highly recommend him.

Service and guidance with the firm has always been of the highest quality. I would have no hesitation whatsoever to recommend Tyler and his firm to anyone seeking legal counsel.

Robby—you and your firm did great work on the recent lawsuit where I and my organization were defendants. What made your work different from most attorneys was the personal involvement. You fought fiercely for our cause and went above and beyond because I know you believed in our position. The result; We won! I would be pleased to recommend your firm in litigation issues.

Robert Alden is an outstanding trial lawyer, period. I have worked in cases with him and seen first hand his extraordinary abilities. He is a deadly cross-examiner in the courtroom. A prospective client would be well-served and have a much greater chance of success with Mr. Alden. As a top-rated attorney myself, he has my highest peer recommendation.

Andrew Demos is a great mediator and problem solver. Andrew really helped kick start settlement negoations at the mediation for one of my clients. While the parties reached an impasse during mediation, we continued to discuss resolving the case several weeks thereafter based on some of the starting points discussed during mediation with Andrew's assistance.

We recently worked with Trust Counsel, PL, on drafting our family trust, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Alejandro and Willy were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and patient from the initial consultation to the final signing. They took the time to understand our specific needs and concerns, explaining complex legal concepts clearly and easily. We felt honestly heard and valued throughout the entire process. The resulting trust document is comprehensive and well-crafted, giving us real peace of mind knowing our family's future is secure. We highly recommend Leslie Marenco’s Trust Counsel, PL, and her team to anyone seeking top-notch estate planning services.

His litigation experience enables him to assist clients with practical solutions.

Mr. Spitz is an impressive attorney! His ability to conceptualize a case and then break it down to its basic elements--in order to explain it to a "lay person" such as myself--was quite artful. I found him incredibly well-versed in different aspects of the law which was quite helpful. His wit and humor are greatly appreciated along with his calm demeanor. Highly recommended!

Ian Schatzman accepted our case regarding an insurance claim with our insurer when other firms wouldn’t take it. After our claims were denied, we needed to reroof to prevent further damage. Ian worked out an expedited plan to document the damage in a manner that would support his case, while adhering to our reroofing timing.
He communicated clearly, responded promptly and thoroughly, and shepherded us through the lawsuit process. His fees were very fair for a job very well done. Without his efforts, we would have received almost nothing for the damages we incurred. He was able to negotiate an acceptable outcome.
I recommend Ian and his firm most highly and would certainly seek his input for any future legal matters.

I consulted with Maria Keller to work my custody case. She immediately put together a swift plan of action. Maria not only care about my case, but she care about me as a person.

I am grateful to attorney David Valdez for successfully solving my case regarding solar panel fraud. His expertise and dedication led to a remarkable outcome. Not only did he manage to settle my case but he successfully terminated my $39,000 bank loan. Mr. Valdez’s efforts resulted in a full refund of the payments I had made to the bank, and he restored my credit report by deleting this debt. Additionally he ensured that the lien on my house was terminated which brought immense relief. I highly recommend David Valdez to anyone in need of a skilled and reliable attorney. Thank you Mr. Valdez for your outstanding service.

Attorney Deborah R. Bronner did our Living Trust, Power of Attorney, Will and Advance Health Care Directive. She also helped us put the Deed to our home in the name of our Trust. The initial phone interview was very thorough. I had a number of questions regarding our circumstances and Attorney Deborah R. Bronner took a great deal of time to give me relevant information. She walked us through the process with warmth and consideration. In addition to being knowledgeable she always kept me informed. If I had a question or just wanted to check on the progress of the documents, I always received a prompt response. She is a very knowledgeable attorney. She explained the documents very thoroughly and patiently. She is highly recommended.

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.

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:
- 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.
