A real estate attorney can provide legal advice, negotiate on your behalf, and litigate property disputes if necessary.

During our 15-minute free real estate consultation, we will discuss the details of your case, answer any initial questions you may have, and give you a general overview of how we can help you. Please note that we are not acting as your lawyer during this consultation, so we can only provide general advice. This session will help us understand your needs and determine the best way to handle your legal issues.

The cost of hiring a real estate lawyer in San Diego varies depending on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s experience. Typically, fees can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case and provide a clearer estimate of the potential costs involved.

In California, you have the option to use a real estate attorney instead of an agent. Agents handle the marketing and transactional aspects of buying or selling a property, while a real estate attorney can offer legal advice, draft and review contracts, and ensure that your rights are protected throughout the process. Using an attorney can be especially helpful in complex transactions or when legal issues arise.

When dealing with complex property transactions, disputes, or legal issues, it’s important to consider hiring a real estate lawyer. This includes situations such as purchasing or selling property, resolving boundary disputes, handling zoning and land use issues, managing landlord-tenant conflicts, negotiating and drafting contracts, or facing foreclosure. A real estate lawyer can offer expert advice and representation to safeguard your interests and ensure a smooth resolution.

Here’s a breakdown of the difference between Paid Consultation and Free Consultation: If, upon reviewing the inquiry, the attorney believes that certain questions need to be answered or documents need to be reviewed and the engagement is not expected to require a formal arrangement, the firm will offer a 30 or 60-minute paid consultation. This differs from the free consultation, which offers a more general discussion of the legal situation, estimates fees, and addresses basic questions. The paid consultation allows for a more in-depth discussion. Common issues that may require a paid consultation include small claims matters where the potential client needs consulting or confirmation of steps, review of basic agreements such as leases or lease amendments, and getting answers to specific legal questions.
