Before you hire
Contract Review Attorney in Detroit: what to expect
A contract review attorney in Detroit reads your agreement before you sign, whether you are buying in Warren, leasing in Southfield or hiring a builder in Livonia. A contract review is a limited engagement: an attorney reads a document before you sign it and tells you what it means, what is missing and what you might negotiate. In Metro Detroit real estate the common documents are purchase agreements, land contracts, residential and commercial leases, contractor agreements and wholesaler assignment contracts.
The attorney checks deadlines, contingencies, default terms, who pays which costs, and what happens if something goes wrong. Land contracts and investor agreements deserve special care because terms vary widely and mistakes are hard to undo.
Send the full document with all addenda, tell the attorney your goals and deadline, and ask for written comments or a marked up copy. If the contract is for a home purchase, see also closing attorney. Or compare Detroit real estate attorneys for a full engagement.
What a good engagement includes
- A read of the full contract and addenda
- A plain-English explanation of key terms and deadlines
- A list of risks, missing protections and unclear language
- Suggested changes or a marked up draft
- A call to walk through questions
- Optional negotiation with the other side
- A written scope and fee agreement
What drives the fee
- Fee structure: flat fee for a single document or hourly billing
- Length and complexity of the contract
- Type of deal: purchase, land contract, lease, construction or assignment
- Your deadline and how quickly you need comments
- Whether you want the attorney to negotiate or draft changes
- Number of revisions and follow up calls
Rebuild Detroit does not publish fees. Ask each attorney to explain the fee basis in writing and compare.
Licensing and ethics in Michigan
Anyone practicing law in Michigan must be an active member of the State Bar of Michigan. Look up the attorney by name in the State Bar member directory and confirm the status shows good standing before you sign anything.
Under the Michigan Rules of Professional Conduct the attorney must explain the basis or rate of the fee, preferably in writing, before or soon after starting. Ask whether the fee is flat and what it covers so a quick review does not turn into open-ended billing.
