How lucky I was to find her!!!

I went into a property sale blindly not knowing anyone in the area. My realtor (who I didn't know either) recommended Rifah. She was wonderful in solving problems in a calm, logical manner. Her knowledge of RE law in NJ is unbelievable and she was open to all of my questions and suggestions. She ...made no promises that she could not keep, including returning phone calls promptly and sticking to her quoted price. She is what every lawyer should strive for in their practice. I cant recommend her highly enough!!!

Review for Rifah Manasra

Ms. Manasra is an amazing and extremely competent attorney. She has been with us since October, 2013 through a very long and frustrating legal process that lasted 6 months. She made sure everything was done in a very professional and competent manner. She also helped us through the process of not ...only selling our home but also purchasing another home. We very highly recommend her. She is also a very warm and kind person as well. We feel extremely fortunate to have her for our attorney. We highly recommend her. We feel very fortunate to have her for our attorney.

Great Lawyer

Rifah Manasra represented me in my divorce. She helped me understand the parts of the case and the different steps of the long process. I am very thankful for her help in understanding what was worth fighting for and what would probably just make the process longer and more expensive. I am thankful ...that she helped me try to save money in my legal fees. I think she is honest and caring. I definitely would recommend her.

My real estate attorney

Rifah is very professional, prompt, responsive and knowledgeable. It is not hard to get in touch with her. She has handled 3 closings of mine and I am going to use her services in future as well. She knows required laws and she would always ensure that as a client you are covered. In one of my case, ...she had to call the city to get more info about getting "Green Card" for the property. Not only she called them up couple of times she also gave me detailed info. I would highly recommend her.

Professional Courteous Service

Rifah Manasra assisted my husband and I through the nerve-racking process of buying our first home. She informed us step by step of what to expect, offered suggestions and solutions on how to keep moving forward and helped us comprehend the many documents involved. We were able to review all drafts a...nd communications before they went out and she answered all of our questions. I would easily utilitze her services again.
