How to choose a real estate lawyer
- Check the lawyer’s status and any public discipline in the state bar or law society directory.
- Ask how many real estate law matters the lawyer handles each year, and who at the firm will do the work.
- Get the fee arrangement in writing: hourly, flat or contingency, and which costs are charged on top.
- Ask how and how often the firm will update you, and how fast it answers calls and emails.
- Read recent reviews for how the firm communicated and billed, not only for outcomes.
- Ask what the closing fee includes and which disbursements are charged on top.
