Buying and selling a home are among the largest transactions a person will ever experience, and the process can be overwhelming and confusing. Paramount to the process is having representation with your best interests in mind, a real estate attorney with knowledge and experience. With the Law Office of Patrick J.

Moving Toward a Better Future

Do I Need a Real Estate Attorney?
We Could Save You Money
Real estate contracts can be overwhelming and complicated for those without legal experience, and we will explain, in detail, the terms of your contract so you can understand it and feel confident in your purchase. If you sign a document only to discover later that you are paying more than you initially agreed, you stand to lose money. We ensure that the terms of your contract are clear and consistent.
We Could Save You Time
Before you sign on the dotted line, there is a lot of back-and-forth that occurs among lenders, homeowner associations, title companies, and more. This requires a lot of time to ensure that all your bases are covered and that you do not make any time-consuming mistakes. With our direct involvement and monitoring of these communications, we can help you avoid such mistakes, which can take months to fix.
Affordable Quality
We aim to set fees upfront that cover the entire process. This way, our clients may focus on their happiness, rather than on their surprise. You will undoubtedly see the value of having a real estate attorney with experience.
