First time home buyer

I had an excellent experience working with Joe Scanlon during the purchase of my first home. As a first-time buyer, there were so many things I didn’t know, and he patiently explained every step of the process and walked me through it with clarity and care. Joe’s expertise was obvious from the sta...rt. He conducted a very thorough review of the contract, identified discrepancies I would have completely missed, and his knowledge—especially around tax-related considerations—was truly on point. Joe’s guidance gave me confidence throughout the entire transaction. I’m very thankful for his support and highly recommend him.

Responsive & Caring

I was referred to Joe by my business associates. He is a phenomenal real estate lawyer. Needed additional help regarding the elderly & assets. Those were not specifics that he dealt with. Rather than shut me down. He promised to refer to someone else. Legit called within 5 minutes to give me that new... information. He didn’t have to do that. It’s greatly appreciated— Jade

Great Lawyer for Real Estate sale/purchase

I used Joe Scanlon for two real estate sales in Hoboken in the last year. He is now in his own firm- Scanlon & Scanlon, still in Hoboken. He was great. We communicated mostly via email, but spoke on the phone if necessary. He handled the negotiations and, of course the closings. He was knowledge...able, especially about Hoboken, and efficient. His fee was reasonable. I would recommend him highly.
