Smooth transactions

Jay McLee has helped me sell and purchase a home and was able to keep both of my transactions smooth until it closed. With the high levels of stress in today’s market, a responsive, calm and even tempered attorney is just what we needed. Thank you! We will be back with him should we one day sell our ...home again!

Trustworthy Real Estate Attorney

Jay was our attorney when closing a single family home in Jersey City. Jay was professional, trustworthy, and looked after our best interests. Jay is very busy, but always made time to address my concerns. He actually helped us negotiate a good amount of seller's credit, which we needed to address... issues found during the inspection. His team also scheduled a survey for our property. I would highly recommend Jay.

Excellent, honest, competent

Mr McLee assisted in my closing, a seamless process, even in difficult coronavirus times. After hiring many lawyers in my professional career, I found Mr McLee very professional, honest and fast in response (a real rarity in the guild). It is very rare that I review a lawyer since I usually glad to... get over it, but in this case, I do recommend him completely Thank you Mr McLee Carlos Jimeno

Jay has been my go-to attorney since 2016. As long as he's on one side of a transaction, I know we have the best chance to get to closing. He's smart, plays well with others & is extremely responsive. His paralegal is awesome, too.

Excellent Real Estate Lawyer

Jay McLee was the closing attorney for the purchase of my condo. It was a complicated situation since the condo was REO and I was already living in the unit as a renter. Jay's experience and skills literally helped me to stay living in my home and purchase it. I am now a home owner thanks to Jay. ... Another attorney previously hired advised me to walk away from the situation. That attorney had never dealt with a bank addendum before. If I had listened to him, I wouldn't own my home right now. There truly are no words to describe how eternally grateful I am to have had Jay as my attorney!
