New investor/meeting with my RE attorney on 7/28/suggestions?

[Chris Stromdahl]

I am excited to be meeting with my real estate attorney this coming Monday for the first time.

He was referred to me by a networking connection. My father in law is an attorney as well. We did some checking and verified that he checks out.

All is well.

What are the questions that I should ask?

What should my expectations be?

Here is my position:

Business development:

I want to work with an attorney that will help me create my legal entity per state laws and to draw up the necessary documents that are tailored to my business and the real estate transactions I am involved in.

Investing:

As a new investor I am looking for someone who can help me navigate the legal aspects of real estate transactions. That means having a solid understanding of the work flow, documents needed, alternative steps to take if need be. Ultimately all of this will lead to a closed deal.

Thoughts?

If you would like to provide the contact information for Seattle, WA based real estate attorneys I am open to them.
