A Professional Who Was Accessible

We were moving for the first time in 26 years - out of a home where we had raised our kids and into a smaller home. So the last time we went through the process of selling/buying/obtaining a mortgage was a long time ago. My how things have changed. The amount of detail and paperwork a move entails ca...n be so overwhelming. I really appreciated John's calm in the midst of a very stressful situation. He was always accessible, often answering the phone himself and during off hours. He never tired of the many questions I had and always explained the process, forms, steps, etc., clearly and patiently. John answered all of our questions immediately. He went to bat for us when we needed a little support. And he helped push our closing through when it looked like it was going to be rescheduled yet again. We felt like John was truly on our team. Our realtor highly recommended John to us and I highly recommend him now too.

Exemplary Real Estate Lawyer

No-nonsense, straight to the point and very professional… these are the words I would use to describe John Lubenesky and his team. From our first consultation to weeks leading to closing, we were always well informed and briefed on every step of the home purchase process and any residuals, which can ...be very complicated not to mention overwhelming. I consider myself a very detail oriented person, sometimes pushing the boundaries on the patience of the person providing the details. I was very relieved and pleased when I found that John was not only very knowledgeable in his field and the area we purchased, but also welcomed any and all questions I had. It was a relief that he had an open-communication policy with their clients regarding every step of the transaction. I can’t say that about many attorneys. From the contract signing, which was negotiated as much as possible in our favor (and explained to us in detail) to the closing; we knew we were in good hands. We felt very confident having Mr. Lubenesky represent us as he was very hands on every aspect of the transaction and very thorough. Needless to say, I would definitely recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone who is looking for representation. He knows his business and he is very good at it. In fact, we just hired him to represent us in the sale of our existing property elsewhere in NJ!

Great guidance from a great professional

John was our attorney for our first home here in New Jersey. Let me tell you buying homes in this state versus others is a more complex process. I genuinely felt that John really made things clear and kept very thing on track. He was always available and always responsive. There were things in our co...ntract that he helped us address when working with the sellers attorney and John was absolutely friendly and just easy to talk to. I would recommend him to any of my friends and family and would 100% use John again in the future.

Great real estate attorney

John was my lawyer on 2 recent real estate transactions. Sale of my Glen Ridge home was difficult and John was there with us every step of the way. No issue was too minor, and his responsiveness and advisory skills got us through. Don't know what I would have done without him.

Great Lawyer!

John was great in handling my first house purchase. He took a potentially stressful situation and made it a smooth experience. Very quick in his responses to my many questions, great to work with. If it wasn't for him, I would never have closed on time.
