RE attorney in Northwest Indiana

Hello my fellow investors!

My partner and I are about to acquire an off-market, smaller multi-family deal in Northwest Indiana (Porter County). I need a RE attorney who would help us craft a solid partnership agreement and help us with the transaction. The seller is using a RE lawyer, I know that for a fact. 

Since I moved from Chicago to Indiana I've never used a lawyer in any real estate investment purchase as you don't need one for residential deals (2-4 units). However, this is a little more serious and bigger and I don't want to take a chance, particularly when working in a partnership for the first time. 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi @Aleksandar Popivoda, first of congrats on the deal! I would give Nathan Vis out of Cedar Lake a call first. He is the attorney for McColly and has his own practice. There aren't a lot of attorneys who specialize in real estate in our market because there just isn't much money to be made from their perspective, but I would try Nathan first.

Hey @Aleksandar Popivoda - congratulations! 

I used Marco Molina when I worked on a deal in East Chicago, very knowledgeable and he has worked with other investors.

You really do not know a real estate lawyer to acquire multi-family over 4 units. My investor client did not have to use a lawyer, whereas the seller is a lawyer!!!  I can recommend a solid Real Estate Indiana lawyer in Indiana! Illnois has more red tape vs Indiana in my opinion!!
