Carlson Dash provides attorney legal opinions for real estate and asset-based loan transactions in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan on a flat fee basis.

Our Lender Legal Opinion Team is comprised of seasoned banking, real estate, bankruptcy, and workout attorneys, some of whom are former in-house bank attorneys. As a team, we have nearly 100 years of practical experience representing financial institutions, and have developed a deep understanding of the vast issues that can arise over the lifespan of a loan transaction – from conception through maturity.

Our experience and streamlined approach allows us to expedite the due diligence and finalization of lender legal opinions to get to the closing table quickly and with peace of mind – and at a competitive flat fee. In most instances, we can quote the flat fee at the outset of the engagement, which helps borrowers and lenders alike move to closing the loan transaction being fully aware of the cost.
