finding a good Real estate attorney?

[Sara Smalls]

Hi BP community!

I am in the market to find a real estate attorney in my area (San Angelo TX,  a very small town) and I have made a list of the ones available and they all look and sound the same. Does anyone out there have advice on how to weed out the good ones? Any questions I can ask over the phone or in a meeting to tell if they will be right for my business? I will be seeking legal advice for wholesaling in particular.

Any and all advice or personal experiences are welcome - Thank you!

Hey Sara. I guess start by seeing if they own properties themselves (good), does there client base already have investors (good), what do they charge for closings (flat fee?), do they have a CPA they typically work with or recommend (CPA and attorney relationship is important in entity formation), do they  regularly deal with hard money transactions, back to back closings, owner finance, any type of transactions you will be dealing with.. whats that history?

Hope that helps!
