Richard Daniel Devita

This was the second time I used Richard as my attorney for the purchase/sale of my home. He was available every step of the way through the long process for me and my wife. Richard was both thorough and to the point and available for any questions we had. He was persistent following up with other ...attorneys and always out for my best interest. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone seeking an attorney. I wish all my attorney experiences were this pleasant.

Richard helped us through the home-buying process as first-time buyers. Our transaction was delayed for over 8 months by zoning issues and other problems on the seller's side. The seller and his attorney were an absolute nightmare to deal with, but Richard continuously pressured them and eventually... our purchase was successful. His fee was very, very reasonable especially considering the (literally) hundreds of e-mails that he sent. With his representation, we were able to get the seller to remove an oil tank, make multiple large repairs to the property and grant a concession for delays. This transaction was one of the most trying and difficult experiences I've ever faced, but having Richard to advise and assist throughout the process made it manageable. I highly recommend Richard to anyone who is purchasing a home and wants an experienced, professional attorney who will advocate for his client's interests.

Richard DeVita was recommended to me to effect a short sale after an apartment I had owned in New Jersey and vacated in 2010 had been sold on several times to different loan companies that had refused to foreclose or agree a DIL and were charging excessive fees. He resolved the issues quickly and eff...ectively and the sale was finally closed today. I echo the review by Deborah on this website.

Richard was my lawyer for a home short sale. He was chosen for me by my realtor because my lawyer was unable to do the job. Richard was very thorough through out the whole process. All documents were sent to me when he received them and he processed all aspects of the sale in a timely manner. He ...was given power of attorney to contact the mortgage company and he apprised me of all communications as I needed to know them. I was nervous about the whole process of the short sale, but Richard was always able to calm my fears with information that he would get for me after I questioned him. He was very easy to work with and I would use him again if needed.

Richard came highly recommended to us by a couple of experienced local realtors as someone who was very competent, professional and quick to close complicated real estate transactions. Ever the skeptic, I was initially thinking that he was being oversold to me. However, not only did Richard guide my... wife + I through an almost endless maze of agonizing paperwork, he kept all the moving components of the deal from going astray and managed to get us closed in remarkably short order. Richard is a no-nonsense results-focused attorney, truly a hidden gem in NJ, who will not waste your time or money. And as an added bonus to me anyway,...we got to share a couple stories about our WWII veteran Fathers.
