How to choose a real estate lawyer

  1. Check the lawyer’s status and any public discipline in the state bar or law society directory.
  2. Ask how many real estate law matters the lawyer handles each year, and who at the firm will do the work.
  3. Get the fee arrangement in writing: hourly, flat or contingency, and which costs are charged on top.
  4. Ask how and how often the firm will update you, and how fast it answers calls and emails.
  5. Read recent reviews for how the firm communicated and billed, not only for outcomes.
  6. Ask what the closing fee includes and which disbursements are charged on top.
  7. Meet more than one firm; many offer a short first consultation, sometimes free.

Questions to ask a real estate lawyer

  • How would you approach a matter like mine, and what are the realistic options?
  • How do you charge, and what will the total likely cost?
  • Who will be my main contact, and how quickly do you reply?
  • What does your closing fee include?
  • Will you review the purchase contract before I sign?
  • Is there any conflict of interest that would stop you representing me?

No, but the lawyer must be licensed in your state (or, for federal matters such as immigration, in some state). A local office makes meetings and court appearances easier, so proximity is one of our factors.
