Residential Real Estate Lawyers in Your Corner

We have years of experience completing thousands of residential real estate transactions. When it comes to residential real estate transactions, our philosophy is simple—place the interests of our clients first. 

We will handle the required legal component with the appropriate care and consideration needed to ensure a seamless, easy transaction. Our clients always meet with lawyers (not assistants), and our lawyers take time to explain all documents in understandable terms and answer all questions our clients have. And we always make sure we are available for follow-up questions after a transaction is completed.

The KH | Dunkley Law Group Difference

Every file (purchase, sale, refinance, or mobile home) receives appropriate lawyer attention. By keeping a close eye on every file, we ensure your transaction is completed without error or legal complication so that you can focus on the other important aspects, such as moving.

For all services, we provide comprehensive hard-copy reporting that outlines all outcomes and contains all necessary documents related to your transaction. Electronic versions of these documents are also available at your request.
