Property law, in plain English.
A boutique Chicago firm for closings, evictions, estates and new businesses. The first consultation is free.
Free consultationMost people meet a real estate lawyer once.
Usually on the largest purchase of their life, holding a contract they have a week to understand and no particular reason to trust.
Boutique means you get the attorney.
Not an intake form and a case number. The same person who takes your call reads your contract and sits at your closing.
Twenty-five years in real estate.
Developer, general contractor, licensed loan originator, title insurance agent, attorney. Kenyatta Land has stood on nearly every side of a closing table.
You will sign the largest contract of your life in about a week.
Illinois gives you a short attorney review window, and it starts the moment everyone has signed. Inside it, almost everything is negotiable. Outside it, the terms you agreed to are the terms you have. Land Law exists for that week, and for the three or four other moments in a life where property law stops being abstract.
What the firm handlesWhy a boutique firm and not a big one
How the firm works
One attorney, start to finish
There is no intake team to be handed off from. Kenyatta Land takes the call, reads the contract, negotiates the repair credit, and is the person sitting at the closing. For a transaction this size that continuity is most of the value.
Three areas, deliberately
Real estate, business formation, and estates. Nothing else. A firm that takes whatever walks through the door has to be adequate at all of it, and Cook County practice rewards being current rather than broad.
Both sides of the closing table
Twenty-five years in the real estate industry, as a residential developer, a general contractor, a licensed mortgage loan originator and a licensed Illinois title insurance agent. The title commitment gets read by someone who has written one.
01/03
Real estate closings
Buyer and seller representation on residential and commercial transactions, from contract review through the closing table.
Evictions
Landlord and tenant disputes filed and defended in the Cook County Circuit Court.
Foreclosure and short sales

Housing discrimination
Representation when a sale, a lease, or a loan was refused for a reason the law does not allow.
Business law
Articles of incorporation, LLC and partnership formation, registration, and business contracts drafted and reviewed.
Wills, trusts and estates
Wills, estate planning, and deed in trust formation so property passes the way you intended.

What clients say when the deal is done
Read all of themMy experience with Kenyatta Land has been nothing but positive. I appreciate his professionalism, expertise, and genuine willingness to assist. I was very impressed with all aspects of the process as it related to my real estate transaction.
The service I received at Land Law Firm was admirable and respectable. Attorney Land was always available to answer my questions during my real estate transaction and continued to be available for questions even after I closed.
Kenyatta was amazing and helpful. Glad to have had him as my attorney.

A small firm on Wacker Drive
Land Law Firm is a boutique law firm with a keen focus on real estate closings, evictions, wills, trusts, estates, and business law. By keeping our areas of law limited, Land Law remains highly focused on our clients' needs and stays informed as to new laws, regulations, changes and trends.
- A narrow practice, on purpose
- Real estate, business formation, and estates. Keeping the areas limited is what makes it possible to stay current with the statutes, the local rules, and the way Cook County actually runs.
- You get the attorney
- The person who takes your call is the person who reads your contract and appears on your date. In a firm this size there is nobody else it could be.
- Explained, not recited
- Clients keep describing the same thing: the law explained in a way that made the decision theirs to make. That is the standard the firm holds itself to.
- The first conversation is free
- Sometimes the honest answer is that you do not need a lawyer for this. You should be able to find that out without paying for it.
The first conversation is free.
Describe what you are dealing with, in order, with the dates. You will get a straight read on whether you need an attorney and what it is likely to cost.
