HELP!!! I am in need a top-notch residential real estate attorney in the Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater area of Florida. I need a lawyer who understands creative real estate investing and the intricacies of Florida real estate contract law…especially creative, unconventional closings. I have spoken to two “Real Estate Attorneys” from the Yellow Pages. When I described what I wanted to do, they looked at me like I had just sprouted two heads. Anything more than representing buyers at “standard closings” was inconceivable to either one.

I only need about an hour of their time, but they need to know their stuff. Any suggestions/recommendations?

Isn’t that an Oxymoron? nt - Posted by Bill Gatten

Why do you need an attorney? A standard title closing company can handle anything you need on purchasing and selling. We only use attorneys when there is something requiring a legal interpertation or a foreclosure or something of that nature. Anything else you can do your self. Most attorneys, as you have found out, are not familiar with creative real estate investing. What is it you need him to do?
