Trusted Real Estate Legal Support

Real estate law covers far more than just signing paperwork—it involves protecting your rights and making sure every detail of your transaction is handled correctly. At Dennis Koonce Law Firm, we help clients throughout Frankfort, Illinois, and the surrounding Chicagoland area with residential real estate transactions, whether you’re buying your first home, selling your current property, or working through a unique situation that requires legal experience and careful attention.

There are contracts, deadlines, disclosures, title concerns, and lender requirements that can quickly become overwhelming—especially when the transaction involves additional parties or unexpected issues.

Why Hire a Real Estate Attorney


3 Reasons to Hire a Real Estate Attorney

If you’re buying, selling, or facing a real estate concern and want reliable guidance, contact the Dennis Koonce Law Firm today to get experienced support through every step of the process.

{ 01 }

Your transaction is complex or outside the “normal” process

Not every deal is a simple buyer-and-seller agreement. If your situation includes probate, zoning ordinances, multi-party ownership, property development, loan complications, or other unique factors, having an attorney ensures everything is handled properly and legally from the start—before small issues turn into major delays or disputes.

{ 02 }

The other party isn’t cooperating

When communication breaks down or someone refuses to follow through, it can put your timeline and investment at risk. A real estate attorney can help you respond strategically, protect your contract rights, and keep the process moving in the right direction through professional negotiation and legal guidance.

{ 03 }

You want clarity and confidence before making decisions

Even when everything seems straightforward, it’s smart to have a second set of experienced eyes on your contract and options. A real estate attorney can explain what you’re agreeing to, highlight risks you may not notice, and help ensure you’re making decisions that are truly in your best interest.
