Every client comes to us because of a specific situation, not a legal category. Below is how we help based on what’s actually going on, and what working with Prell Spearing Law Firm looks like from your first call through resolution.
If You’re Buying or Selling Property
We handle contract review, negotiation, and closing for residential and commercial real estate, and we catch title issues before they become closing-day surprises. Attorney Irina Prell-Spearing is also a licensed Florida real estate broker, so she reviews your deal with an agent’s eye for what actually matters in the transaction, not just the legal boilerplate. If you’re a foreign national buying or selling U.S. property, we also handle the FIRPTA withholding requirements that apply to your closing.
If You’re Dealing With a Construction Problem
Defective work, a contractor who won’t finish the job, disputed invoices, or a rebuild that’s gone sideways — we handle construction disputes and litigation informed by Irina’s own license as a general contractor. That means she can usually tell within one conversation whether a claim is strong, and what it will actually take to resolve it.
If You’re Facing Foreclosure
If you’ve fallen behind on payments, received a notice, or already been served with a lawsuit, time matters — Florida gives you only 20 days to respond once you’re served. We represent homeowners in contesting foreclosure lawsuits, negotiating loan modifications, arranging short sales, and completing deeds in lieu of foreclosure, with dedicated resources for Cape Coral, Naples, Fort Myers, Punta Gorda, and Venice homeowners.
If You’re Protecting What You’ve Built
We help Florida property owners put wills, trusts, and asset protection plans in place, with particular attention to how real estate holdings fit into the overall estate. This is often most valuable done well before it’s needed, not in a rush after a health scare or a death in the family.
How We Work
- Call or reach out online. Tell us briefly what’s going on. We respond within one business day, and most foreclosure and real estate consultations are free.
- Talk directly with Irina. You won’t be routed through a rotating cast of case managers — you work with the attorney handling your matter.
- Get a straight answer on cost and options. We explain the realistic paths forward and what each one costs before you commit to anything.
- We handle it, and keep you informed. You’ll know what’s happening at each stage, not just at the end.
Why Clients Choose Us
Most attorneys have only ever practiced law. Irina has also closed real estate deals as a licensed broker and managed builds as a licensed general contractor, for over 20 years combined. That means she spots the practical property and construction issues that a purely legal background can miss, and she and our team serve the Southwest Florida Russian-speaking community fluently.
