I'm going to buy a condo for a rental and I looking to find a great real estate attorney. How do you tell if an attorney is good or great? What are the best questions to ask? any help is appreciated thanks.

It depends on the specific area of real estate law. You want a responsive lawyer who has experience in your area. For condo rentals you would look for someone with HOA/condo association experience because often the bylaws prohibit such an arrangement and you don't want this to be missed. Otherwise, check references, search sites like www.AVVO.com or Lawyers.com, their firm's website should be maintained and provide specific resources on topic (this is a good indication that the attorney is tech savvy and more likely to check their emails), you can also see if they are active and have good support on social media sites such as linkedin.
