Top Quality legal Services at Very Fair Prices

Rich Devita is a class legal act. We had a real estate sale and closing that was extraordinarily complex and time-consuming, thanks to Covid and other issues. Rich was the steady legal hand leading us through the way. He always demonstrated strong patience, good judgment, and sound advice. And he cha...rges a very fair rate with no surprises. I strongly recommend Rich Devita for your real estate and other legal concerns.

Did a great job--he had the specialized skill set that we really needed.

Rich's broad range of experience in real estate deals really made a difference for us. If it's just a simple closing, Rich could do that for you with his eyes closed. Ours was not an easy case. It was complicated by negotiations with creditors, a time crunch, and family issues. We'll be using h...im again, soon, and can recommend him to others without reservation.

Mr DeVita was both extremely professional and helpful throughout my home closing process. As a first time homebuyer, I had many questions and concerns. He took the time to explain everything to me and walk me through the entire process. He was extremely responsive and helped be close within 1 month w...ith extras I wasn't expecting. Thanks Richard!

Thanks Richard!

Mr. Devita helped me through a unique and extremely challenging real estate short sale purchase. He was honest, straightforward, available at all times, and what I liked the most. Was always on my side, he fought for what I thought was fair during the entire transaction. Highly recommended.

Richard 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.
