Scottsdale Real Estate, Estate Planning and Business Attorneys

In 1986, brothers Jim Nearhood and Rich Nearhood (since retired) established Nearhood Law Offices, PLC, to provide high-quality personalized representation in the areas of real estate transactions, property tax, business law, estate planning and litigation. Our law firm quickly became one of the state’s preeminent real estate and property tax firms. Since then, the firm’s practice and reputation have continued to grow. Today, our Scottsdale, Arizona, law firm is a recognized leader in the following areas:

  • Real estate
  • Property
  • Tax appeals and consulting
  • Estate planning and administration
  • Business formation and agreements
  • Construction

Our mission is to provide high-quality, responsive and creative legal services with a personalized, client-oriented approach. We achieve this mission by cultivating long-term client relationships, striving to understand the individual needs of each client and providing a practical approach to solve their problems. The small size of our firm enables our attorneys and professional staff to work closely with one another on various projects, thereby enabling us to handle a diverse range of legal matters.

Our Commitment to Personalized Service

The practice of law is a service profession, and Nearhood Law Offices, is dedicated to establishing long-term relationships with its clients through exceptional personal service. Working closely with their clients, our attorneys give careful consideration to client opinions, directions and concerns; meaningfully evaluate each client’s file; and offer creative and practical solutions. We pledge to treat each client with respect, to promptly respond to client calls and emails, to clearly communicate our billing practices, and to timely address any client billing questions.

Technology

At Nearhood Law Offices, PLC, we recognize that maintaining state-of-the-art technology is both good for the environment and critical to providing cost-effective and timely legal services. As a result, our office is “paperless” and employs cutting-edge legal software for data management and storage.

Fees And Billing

Clients understandably want competent legal representation at a fair price. As a small business, we also relate to the economic challenges faced by our clients, and Nearhood Law Offices, works diligently to ensure our clients’ needs are met in the most efficient manner possible.

Our engagement letters clearly explain the financial terms of our retention. Throughout our representation, our attorneys strive to provide clients with updated and realistic estimates of the work required and the expected fees. Each month, clients receive understandable invoices, which include detailed descriptions of the services rendered by each billing staff member on a daily basis.
