Trusted Advisor! Phenomenal Services

Richard is brilliant at what he does! I have been with him since 2015. We bought our home under his guidance and did not feel a single pinch of all the hassles we go through in the process. He made sure we are prepared for everything at every step of the way. When it was time to sell, he again jumped... in with his expertise to help us sail through smoothly for a complicated and time consuming closing. He also helped us with our defaulting tenant litigation, it was particularly very difficult situation given the profile of tenant, he very diligently and intelligently helped us get out of the situation. I would highly recommend him for his services.

Trusted Lawyer with excellent real estate execution

Richard was pivotal in helping us close on our home. With trusted advice, consistent communication and collaboration with the seller we are now in the home of our "dreams" If you want things done with detail and speed, Richard is your lawyer!

Top Quality legal Services at Very Fair Prices

Rich Devita is a class legal act. We had a real estate sale and closing that was extraordinarily complex and time-consuming, thanks to Covid and other issues. Rich was the steady legal hand leading us through the way. He always demonstrated strong patience, good judgment, and sound advice. And he cha...rges a very fair rate with no surprises. I strongly recommend Rich Devita for your real estate and other legal concerns.

Excellent lawyer for real estate transaction

I used Rich Devita’s services when purchasing a home in Jersey City, NJ. When it was time to sell 7 years later, I went back to him. He represented me very well on both occasions. My takeaways from my interactions with Rich are that he is very knowledgeable, communicates well, is straightforward, and... protects his clients’ interests. I enjoyed working with Rich and would highly recommend him.

Did a great job--he had the specialized skill set that we really needed.

Rich's broad range of experience in real estate deals really made a difference for us. If it's just a simple closing, Rich could do that for you with his eyes closed. Ours was not an easy case. It was complicated by negotiations with creditors, a time crunch, and family issues. We'll be using h...im again, soon, and can recommend him to others without reservation.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
