Excellent work, great representation

Richard previously represented us for a real estate purchase. We were very satisfied so recently, we engaged him again for the sale of our condo in Hoboken. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and responsive. We highly recommend Richard to anybody searching for a Real Estate Attorney.

Richard DeVita review

I was referred to Richard by my realtor. From the get go, Richard was informative and very responsive. He makes you feel comfortable with the entire process which is a HUGE plus when you are purchasing a home. This was my 1st home purchase and with Richards counsel i was guided through the entire pro...cess , which actually made it bearable. Richard, being the efficient attorney that he is, helped us complete our closing in just over 30 min. Great experience. I would recommend Richard with out hesitation.

Review of Rich Devita

Rich represented my wife and I in closing on our first home. Rich guided us through the process and was able to close the transaction smoothly and in an incredibly tight time frame. He worked with the other side to structure an early close which allowed us to get into the apartment before a new add...ition to our family arrived. In addition to recommending Rich to others, I have had Rich help with the preparation of a will. I reached out to Rich to get a recommendation from him for preparation of a will and was happy to hear that he was able to help with it. Rich is responsive, his rates are reasonable and his work is excellent.

Master Short Sale Negotiator

I was referred to Mr. Devita by my realtor because I needed an experienced lawyer who could handle a complex short sale. From the onset, Mr. Devita made me feel comfortable and advised me every step of the way, which eased my anxiety about the whole process. The deal took approximately 9 months to ...close and was something that I had been trying to accomplish for several years. Although the deal almost fell through several times, Mr. Devita was able to find creative ways to keep it alive and ultimately make it a win-win for everyone.
