Excellent Support and Knowledge

I was selling a condo in Hoboken after relocating to Texas 11 months earlier. Richard made the process simple and uncomplicated. He knew I could not come back to NJ for the closing and handled all the paperwork with a power of attorney and saved me a lot of time and expense. He kept me informed a...nd was very responsive 7 days/week (even during his vacation). The ultimate compliment is that I would certainly use Richard again. Well done.

Excellent Representation

I have had the opportunity to have Richard represent my family's interests on many occasions over the years. Richards representation is always extremely through. Every real estate transaction, has had Richard correcting the lending organizations errors, pushing the lender to meet its committed... closing dates. Richard is committed to his clients always meeting targeted completion dates & time lines. I could not be happier with Richard protecting my family.

Great Attorney

Richard represented us for the sale of our condo and the purchase of a new home. He worked with us on a very tight time frame where time was of the essence and the entire transaction was virtually seamless. When things got a little crazy with our deal he was reassuring, gave expert advice and t...ook care of everything, keeping us informed every step of the way. I would highly recommend Rich to anyone needing a Real Estate Attorney.

Short Sale Made Easy

Unfortunately, I was forced to short sale my home Richard Devita made a very unpleasant and upsetting experience pleasant. He was very compassionate and through. He is very knowledgeable about the law and the proper procedures. He was able to get an approval from the bank very quickly. He made the cl...osing process seamless. As a result of this very positive experience he is now the only attorney my family I will use.
