Real estate matters Anthony reviews

These are screening categories for an initial consultation, not a promise that a particular matter will be accepted.

Commercial purchases and sales
Purchase and sale agreements for commercial, industrial, and investment property, letters of intent, addenda, disclosures, contingencies, escrow and closing mechanics, and questions about which person or entity signs and takes title. Residential purchases and sales are screened the same way.
Business and commercial leases
Retail, office, industrial, and mixed-use leases: term and renewal options, rent structure and escalations, permitted use and exclusivity, maintenance and repair duties, assignment and subletting, guaranties, defaults, and notices to cure. Residential leases are reviewed individually.
Title, ownership, access, and easements
Deeds and vesting, co-ownership between partners or family members, easements and access rights, encroachments and boundaries, recorded restrictions on use, and title exceptions that surface during a transaction.
Consequential property disputes
Disputes over agreements, deposits, disclosures, ownership, possession, access, or performance where the property or the amount at issue matters to a business or an owner. Landlord and tenant matters are screened individually.

Before you sign, respond, or wait

If someone has asked you to sign, respond, close, vacate, cure a default, or perform by a certain date, lead with that date. Waiting can change the available options.

If nothing has been signed, legal review before signature usually leaves more room to clarify the language, negotiate a term, or walk away.

A consultation is not an engagement. Representation begins only after Anthony confirms acceptance in writing. How a consultation works sets out each step.

Matter review

Request a real estate matter review

Answer these screening questions and Anthony will decide whether a consultation makes sense. Everything here should stay brief and non-confidential.

  • Names are collected for a preliminary conflict check.
  • The property county tells Anthony which local rules apply.
  • The approximate value band is optional and used only for screening.
  • Prefer to talk instead? Call (909) 246-3010.
Please keep this request non-confidential.

Use this short form only to request contact and provide names for a preliminary conflict check. Do not send documents, evidence, sensitive details, financial or account information, or anything you would want treated as confidential. Sending this request does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not mean Anthony Jones has accepted your matter.

Provide at least one, phone or email.

Preferred contact method

Optional, and used only for screening. A range is enough. Do not send account numbers, financial records, or documents.

Buyer, seller, landlord, tenant, lender, escrow or title company, association, neighbor, or business names. Names only, for the conflict check. Do not describe what anyone did here. Enter “None known” or “Unsure” when appropriate.

Do not rely on this form for a deadline or emergency.

Sending it does not extend any closing, notice, cure, hearing, filing, or limitations date, and the form is not monitored for emergencies.

One or two general sentences about the property matter and what you want to happen. No evidence, detailed facts, private communications, financial information, or documents.

Before requesting contact

Your request is sent to Anthony’s private legal-intake channel for review. No documents can be attached here.

Real estate experience, legal representation

Anthony has held a California real estate license since 2011 and has been a licensed broker since 2015. That background is useful when reading purchase agreements, addenda, disclosures, leases, escrow instructions, and title documents. The practice is based in San Bernardino and focused on the Inland Empire, and he considers property matters throughout California.

The roles remain separate. Hiring Anthony as an attorney does not make him your broker or real estate agent. No brokerage services are offered through this page.

Anthony Jones, Esq. Attorney at Law, California. Licensed California real estate broker. He handles his own matters directly. More about Anthony.

Legal work only. Any situation that could mix legal representation with brokerage activity would require separate written review before either role could be considered.

What to send first

A short, non-confidential outline is enough for initial screening.

  • The property address
  • The names of every person or business involved
  • Whether anything has been signed, served, recorded, or filed
  • The nearest closing, notice, hearing, or filing date
  • What you want to happen, in one or two sentences

Do not attach documents or send confidential details until Anthony asks for them.

Common questions

Can a commercial purchase agreement or lease be looked at before it is signed?

Yes. Document review before signature is one of the most common requests here. Start with a short non-confidential outline of what the document is, who the parties are, and the date attached to it. Do not send the document itself until Anthony asks for it.

Where is the practice based, and which California counties does it cover?

The practice is based in San Bernardino and focused on the Inland Empire, and Anthony considers California matters statewide. Property location is asked for early because it decides which local rules, recording office, and court apply.

Does hiring Anthony as an attorney make him the broker on the transaction?

No. This page offers legal services only. Anthony holds a California real estate broker license, and that background informs how he reads the paperwork, but an attorney engagement does not make him your broker or agent and no brokerage services are offered here.

What happens after the matter review form is sent?

It reaches a private legal intake channel. Anthony runs a conflict check on the names listed, looks at the dates, and decides whether to schedule a consultation. Sending it does not create an attorney-client relationship, does not mean the matter has been accepted, and does not extend any deadline.

Why does the form ask for an approximate value band?

It is optional and used only for screening, so the scale of the matter is clear before a call. Leave it blank if you prefer. Never send account numbers, financial records, or documents through this form.
