Compare attorneys and law firms by practice area, professional verification, client reviews, and contact information.
Reviewing purchase and sale terms
For a transaction, ask who will review contingencies, deadlines, disclosures and responsibilities at closing. Clarify whether the lawyer represents a buyer, seller, investor or developer and whether the engagement includes negotiation with brokers, lenders or other participants. San Diego’s real estate category includes 101 attorney and law firm profiles; check whether an office represents the buyer, seller or another party to the transaction.
Leases and use of the property
Residential and commercial lease questions are not interchangeable. Ask whether the attorney works with landlords, tenants or both, and whether the issue concerns rent, repairs, default, assignment, permitted use or an existing eviction-related proceeding.
Commercial leases deserve a separate review
A commercial tenant may need advice on permitted use, repairs, default notices and assignment rights; a buyer may need title and inspection provisions reviewed. Ask whether the real estate attorney regularly handles your side of that transaction. A general property practice may not include both leasing advice and contested litigation.
