Real Estate Attorney Search & Referrals in MontCo, PA

[Mason Kimball]

Hi everyone,

I am a new landlord in Montgomery County, PA and I am looking for a real estate attorney.

I am in the process of researching my options and was wondering what you all would recommend to look for or ask in interviewing potential attorneys. I have already cross referenced the state's records to ensure none of my candidates have any misconduct history. I plan on asking everyone if they personally invest in real estate. What else would you recommend to ask or look for?

Also, does anyone have any suggestions or referrals?

Thanks!

Mason

Some other good questions are:

1. How long have you been practicing real estate law? But keep in mind the more experienced they are, the more they can typically charge. The best ones come with a high price tag, but paying that price is almost always worth it.

2. How long have you been practicing in PA? Some attorneys have the experience, but that experience is in other states. PA is tenant-friendly, so it's important to find an attorney who is up-to-date on the current laws.

3. Can you provide me with references? I ask the same thing to contractors I work with. Now, you have to ask in a respectful way. Most are unwilling to release their client information, but it can save you some heartache. After following up with one of my top candidate's references, I realized his work was less than pleasing.
