Best Real Estate Lawyers in Irvine, CA

Our typical business clients range from sole practitioners to small companies with less than a hundred employees, but we provide legal services to companies of all sizes.

Unlike larger firms, we offer a personalized, hands-on approach for each client. Not only will you be represented by one attorney who has extensive training and experience (versus multiple associates and clerks with varying levels of experience), you will also have direct access to your attorney and response times will be prompt. Our billing practices are efficient and transparent, and we are constantly looking for ways to improve our clients' experience. You are our highest priority and we will only work to serve your best interests.

Unlike us, some firms do not charge an initial consultation fee, preferring instead to use this time to convince you that you need to retain their services. However, many clients simply need information about their options/rights and the cost-benefits of each. We believe our time, and yours, is valuable, and we make a concerted effort to be efficient and laser focused during our consultations. We spend the necessary time reviewing the relevant documents and learning your side of the story. Charging our clients a consultation fee ensures that we can provide unbiased legal guidance and the most cost-effective approach to handling your matter, even if that means advising you to avoid retaining counsel.

For most consultations, payments are due prior to the scheduled consultation time. You will receive an email with a link to view and pay your bill online. ACH/E-Check is the preferred form of payment though we accept most major credit cards. For all other invoices, we ask that you pay via check.

Assuming your matter requires ongoing legal services and depending on the complexity of your legal requirements, a reasonable retainer fee may be required. Invoices would be paid by retainer funds until a request for refill. After an initial consultation, we will have a better understanding of your legal needs moving forward. We require check payment for all retainers (unless otherwise stated in your fee agreement).
