Complex Real Estate Title Problems

I found Alan on AVVO just out of pure luck, thank God. Better lucky than smart. He has been my savior. I purchased a property with numerous title faults, and had I not found Alan, it would still be a mess. I would have had to sell the property for a huge loss, if I would have been able to sell it. T...he number of attorneys that could have solved this mess, nor wanted to tackle it, is extremely limited. Attorney Raines is a highly competent and skilled legal expert. Ive worked with a number of attorneys in my career at a major institutional investment house in Pittsburgh, and attorney Raines far outshines the others. He is great at cutting to the heart of the problem, as persistent as a terrier, and thrives on complex litigation. He's a tough negotiator and ALWAYS acts in your interest. His judgement is keen. His communication has been excellent, and he's just a down-to-earth guy. I wholeheartedly recommend him if you have a major business or real estate problem, or any complex litigation.

Great Business Attorney

Alan has helped me with two business situations in the past few months. With both, he was incredibly responsive and got communications out the same day. We quickly resolved the first issue and are still working on the second with alternate plans in place depending upon responses we receive. I high...ly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
