Home purchase

Being a first time home buyer, I was having many questions regarding the purchase. Richard explained me the process of the purchase and has been responsive through the process. Richard has successfully negotiated terms like closing date with the seller. I would recommend Richard for his legal service...s.

Apartment Sale

I hired Richard as an advocate to process the sale of an apartment in New Jersey while I resided in California. Richard was available and offered quick responses to questions with the time difference. Richard gave clear directions for documents I needed to have executed. I was very satisfied with Ric...hard's legal expertise and timely work in the sale of the apartment.

Prompt and Professional

I hired Rich to handle the closing on my condo. Rich was on the ball, keeping me up to date and addressing any concerns promptly as they arose. The process went very smoothly thanks in large part to Rich. I felt confident that my interests were being well represented.

Outstanding Attorney -- Went Above and Beyond

My wife and I engaged Rich to help us with our first-time home purchase in Hoboken. He was extremely knowledgeable, responsive and provided excellent guidance that helped us successfully navigate every step of the process from attorney review right through to closing (which was very smooth and easy t...hanks to Rich's preparedness). Rich also went out of his way to find the right person in city hall for us to speak with about the tax abatement on our home and how it would be impacted by the purchase price (something that we tried desperately to figure out on our own but to no avail). Finally, he was incredibly patient and dealt graciously with our many, many emails, phone calls and never-ending list of questions. If you’re looking for an outstanding attorney to help with your home purchase, someone who will go the extra mile for you when needed, we HIGHLY recommend Rich.

Great Attorney

Mr. DeVita is an outstanding attorney. He successfully handled my case against my accountant for business fraud. Mr D is an expert in these financial fraud matters and as such provided me excellent advice and recommendations. He is very focused and efficient. He gets to the key issues quickly. M...r DeVita is thorough in the homework he does. So there were no surprises. He effectively assesses the issues from all perspectives to arrive at the best approach that will prove successful. In addition, he is extremely well organized and an effective communicator when the legal battles begin. Mr. D does not over promise ... he is solutions driven. Finally, Mr. DeVita is very responsive to all phone and written communications. I rate Mr. DeVita as a A+ attorney. I highly recommend him to anyone. not waste time with unnecessary or lengthy phone meetings.
