01
Residential real estate developer
Which means the construction budget in a rehab contract reads as a real number rather than an unfamiliar one, and an unrealistic closing timeline is obvious before it is agreed to.
The attorney whose name is on the door
Land Law is one lawyer and a deliberately narrow practice. That is the product, not a limitation of it.
Kenyatta T. Land, Esq.
Managing Attorney
Attorney Land has 25 years of experience in the real estate industry, which includes his current role as a licensed attorney. He is also an experienced residential real estate developer, general contractor, and licensed mortgage loan originator.
Clients tend to describe the same quality, which is that legal issues get explained rather than recited. Property law is not conceptually hard; it is procedurally unforgiving, and most people meet it once. The job is to make the decision yours to make, with the consequences of each option stated in advance rather than discovered afterward.

Four jobs on the same transaction
A residential closing is a legal document sitting on top of a building, a loan and a title history. Most attorneys read the first of those. Attorney Land has worked professionally on all four.
02
General contractor
Inspection reports are the most commonly mishandled document in a residential deal. Knowing which findings are genuinely structural and which are a line item is the difference between a credit and a collapsed contract.
03
Licensed mortgage loan originator
NMLS# 340119. The financing contingency and the underwriting file are usually where a deal actually dies, and they get read here by someone who has worked that side of it.
04
Licensed Illinois title insurance agent
The title commitment is the document nobody reads. Knowing which exceptions are routine and which one is the reason to pause the closing is a specific skill, and it is one of the more valuable things a buyer gets.
What a firm this size can and cannot do
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 honest limit is capacity and scope. A boutique firm cannot staff a matter that needs six lawyers, and this one does not take criminal, family, immigration or personal injury work at all. You will hear that on the first call rather than in month three.
About working with him
Will I be working with Attorney Land directly?
Yes. Land Law is a boutique firm, which in practice means the person who takes your call is the person who reads your contract and appears on your court date. There is no intake team to be routed through.
What does the 25 years refer to?
Twenty-five years of experience in the real estate industry, which includes the current role as a licensed attorney and earlier work as a developer, general contractor and loan originator. It is industry experience rather than a count of years at the bar.
Why does a lawyer need a contractor's license?
He does not, strictly. It is just unusually useful in this practice. Most of what goes wrong in a residential transaction is physical, financial or title related, and having done all three jobs shortens the distance between the problem and the answer.
Which courts does he appear in?
Most court work is in the Cook County Circuit Court. The firm practices in Illinois; ask when you call if your matter sits elsewhere.
How do I reach him?
Call 312-900-0060, or send the form on the contact page describing the situation and the dates. The first consultation costs nothing.
