HOW TO KNOW A GENUINE PROPERTY AND BUSINESS LAWYER

HOW TO KNOW A GENUINE PROPERTY AND BUSINESS LAWYER

Alabo, a medical doctor, got a lucrative deal. He then bought a piece of land in Port Harcourt, but his excitement was short-lived. The supposed Lawyer he hired turned out to be fake.

Red Flags when looking for a genuine Lawyer:

– No proper identification: The Lawyer didn’t provide a valid ID or NBA practice license for the current year.
– Lack of expertise: He is not knowledgeable about the property laws of the State where the land is located.
– Unrealistic promises: He guarantees a very quick and hassle-free process.

The unfortunate part of engaging a fake Lawyer is that you will end up losing your hard-earned money, something you didn’t bargain for.

This is because the legal documentation he took legal fees for and prepared for you will have no legal effect whatsoever.

The addresses, stamp and seal would all be fake, thereby rendering the whole transaction an illegality.

To Spot a Genuine Property Lawyer

1. Verify his Supreme Court enrolment number and NBA registration at the NBA website or office; ensure he has property law experience; genuine Lawyers provide realistic timelines, and check online reviews on his reputation.

Don’t be a victim of fake Lawyers. Be sure you’re dealing with a real Lawyer.

Avoid Alabo’s mistake. Invest smart.
