NWR - Real Estate Lawyer
Hi, girls! My fiance and I need to hire a real estate lawyer because we are selling his place, but we're not sure whether the quotes we have been getting are reasonable or not. We got a quote for $825 from a lawyer who doesn't get involved until after the contract is signed, and then she'll take care of the rest, including the closing. Is this reasonable? Does it make sense for a lawyer not to get involved until after the contract is signed?
Thank you!

Re: NWR - Real Estate Lawyer

Re: NWR - Real Estate Lawyer
I've got a great atty in Hauppague. FM me for info. Also you definitely don't want to be a bargain hunter when it comes to attorneys. The less they charge the less they are involved. The atty should definitely look at the contract and make changes if necessary.
