Something other than bank clients.

Looking for something other than bank work?  Give your local real estate attorney a call.  Litigation assignments are often much more interesting and challenging...and not to mention they pay much better.

Recognize that big pay checks come with expectations.  Yes, the opposing attorney will try to make you look like a fool, but when the data is on your side, it's an easy argument.  The data speaks for itself.

What is the difference in fees you ask?  I'm happy to share.

I recently worked on a single-family residential property that, for mortgage lending purposes, would have commanded a fee of around $400.  However, for the condemnation intended use, the fee was over $9,000.  Not only was the client happy to pay the fee, I got a hug from the property owner for my efforts.
