Real estate attorney
Actual legal advice, which is something we can't give you.
When you need one
Four situations: a dispute with the buyer, a title problem, a tenant in the property, or a contract that isn't on the standard California forms.
What it costs in San Diego
$350–$600 an hour; a flat contract review is $500–$1,500.
Ranges for a typical $1M sale. Get a quote.
What to ask before you hire
- Have you handled this exact situation in San Diego County?
- Flat fee or hourly, and what's the likely total?
- How fast can you turn a review around if I'm inside a contingency period?
