What to bring to your first meeting

Bring any documents you already have — police reports, medical records, filed pleadings, correspondence from an insurer, a copy of the contract at issue. If you're not sure, err on the side of bringing everything; Leor will tell you what matters and what doesn't.

Questions to ask a real estate attorney in your state

Frequently asked

Frequently asked questions about Leor Margulies

  • How much does it cost to hire Leor for a real estate case?

  • Does Leor offer a free consultation?

  • How long do real estate cases in this state typically take?

    Simple real estate matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Leor gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

  • Can Leor take my case if I'm outside the area?

    Leor evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Leor's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

  • What should I bring to my first meeting with Leor?

    Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Leor will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

  • Is Leor accepting new real estate clients right now?
