Why does BP not have a forum thread label for 'attorney' or 'lawyer'?

They recommend agents and lenders, but there's not even a forum thread dedicated to the lawyers, is there a reason for that?

I am looking for a real estate lawyer licensed in NY as I'll be making an offer on a property in that state (first time).

As backups, I am also looking at Arizona and Maryland and, equally, looking for RE attorneys in those states.

I don't think there's enough attorney-related discussion to justify another category. We already have a "Legal and Legislation" but most conversations about attorneys are actually related to a sub-category that already exists. For example, looking for an attorney to handle an eviction could be discussed in the Landlord & Rental Properties forum.

    Arizona is a non attorney state, so no lawyers are needed to conduct a real estate transaction here.

    @Daniel Vroman Rusteen In Arizona, most residential transactions are handled without an attorney. I have very rarely had an attorney involved in a residential transaction; I could count on one hand the number of times in 25 years.

    In Arizona commercial transactions, agents generally create an LOI and sometimes a contract, depending on the complexity of the transaction. In commercial transactions, attorneys are commonplace.

    In my Arizona Property Management business, attorneys often handle evictions very effectively. I have never lost an Arizona Eviction.

    Happy to answer any other Arizona-related questions that might arise.
