Don't quite remember, it's around ~$1000.00 includes all kinds of tax (if you a first time home buyer). The lawyer himself/herself probably around ~$500.00.
Do you want a lawyer can speak Chinese or not? If you perfer Chinese speaking lawyer, find the ads on Chinese news paper.
另外我们的律师挺怪,什么都不找我们要,你要给他补充点材料,他就说,我跟你的builder联系吧。比如,closing date 推迟了,builder 让我们通知mortage broker and lawyer,银行让我把推迟的通知fax过去,asap.可我打电话给lawyer,lawyer却说不用了,我跟你的builder联系。
