What to ask before contacting a real estate lawyer
These questions are general decision support, not legal advice or a ranking of the listed profiles.
Which transaction type does the lawyer regularly handle?
A residential purchase, a commercial lease, and a landlord-tenant dispute call for different experience.
Who will review title and closing documents?
Ask who will review the title and closing documents and how the office communicates delays.
Who handles document recording?
Ask whether the lawyer handles document recording directly or through a title company; familiarity with one transaction type does not guarantee experience with another.
