Prell Spearing Law Firm focuses on real estate, construction, and foreclosure-related legal matters throughout Southwest Florida. Attorney Irina Prell-Spearing is also a licensed Florida real estate broker and a licensed general contractor, so every practice area below is handled with hands-on property experience behind the legal strategy, not just legal theory. Explore our core practice areas below, or contact us to talk through your specific situation.
Real Estate & Contract Law
Residential and commercial real estate closings, contract review and negotiation, and resolving title defects that surface during a purchase or sale. Irina’s background as a licensed real estate broker means she reviews contracts the way an experienced agent would, not just as an outside attorney.

We also prepare and record deeds and property transfers — quitclaim, warranty, corrective and Lady Bird deeds, and transfers into an LLC or trust — with the documentary stamp tax and homestead consequences worked out before signing.
Construction Disputes & Litigation
Construction defect claims, contractor billing disputes, and disagreements arising during a build or renovation. Because Irina is a licensed general contractor, she can identify the practical issues in a construction dispute — not just the legal ones — and argue them more effectively as a result.

Foreclosure Defense & Short Sales
Representation for Florida homeowners facing foreclosure, including contesting the lawsuit, negotiating a loan modification, arranging a short sale, or completing a deed in lieu of foreclosure. We move quickly once a case starts — Florida gives homeowners only 20 days to respond after being served.
