Excellent Service

Richard is a great attorney to hire. Not only does he have great personality and high professionalism, he is also tremendously patient and devoted towards his client. He will try to answer all my questions on a timely manner so that I could feel comfortable about every move with my first home purch...ase. Also, he went extra miles to fight for my benefit to ensure that I am protected by all the agreed terms in the contract. I highly recommend Richard!!

Real Estate

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.

Attorney

I worked with Rich to purchase my first home. My purchase was easily on the smaller side of his book of business but he made sure to give me the time I needed and to pay attention to all of the details of my project. He made sure I had all of the information to make smart decisions and guided me thr...ough what can be a very daunting process. He also has a great personality and closes fast!

Great to work with!

My husband I worked with Richard to buy our first home. He was extremely helpful, very responsive and always available. We had a lot of questions that he answered patiently. I would recommend him to friends and family without any hesitation.

Short Sale

My wife and I reached out to Richard for help in our short sale based on a recommendation from a realtor, that is better to have someone manage the process than go it alone. It was without a doubt the best decision. Richard guided us through the difficult shorts sale maze and negotiated with all part...ies (1st lien, 2nd lien and HOA) to ensure we were able to get the shorts sale approved and closed. We are grateful that Richard was able to help us put this challenging homeownership situation behind us. We highly recommend Richard!

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.
