Exceptional Attorney

We hired Barry at the recommendation of his colleague for the sale of our home, and so happy we did. Barry was not only professional, but went above and beyond every step of the way. The buyers and their realtor were extremely difficult throughout the process, and at one point we were ready to NOT ...sell the home. Barry stood his ground, acting in our best interest from the start of the process to the closing. Truly exception - he got us to the finish line!! Thank you Barry!

The One and Only

Barry J. Cohen is a knowledgeable, thorough attorney who, with 35 years' experience in real estate law, made my first closing on a house an easy, quick process. As a first-time home buyer, Barry always made himself available to answer all my questions and concerns. Just knowing that I had a reliabl...e, experienced attorney by my side throughout the whole closing process gave me a peace of mind. Barry is a great attorney and I highly recommend him for anyone looking to close on a property.

Excellent Attorney

Barry Cohen (Amster & Rosensweig) recently helped me with handling my mother’s condo sale in Ridgewood. Living out of state, he acted on my behalf and provided excellent legal and other services. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, very prompt on all questions via email or phone and close...d the transaction on my behalf. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend!

Barry was our real estate lawyer when we bought our first home in South Orange, NJ, and thank god for him. We had an incredibly difficult seller (who had an equally difficult agent) but Barry kept everything moving along smoothly for us. He protected us when they wanted us to pay for radon remediatio...n and he helped us get sufficient credits for unsafe aspects of the house found in inspection that the seller didn't want to cover. We were so grateful for Barry and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a house!

Best real estate lawyer

Barry has been my real estate lawyer when we first purchased the house years ago. Given his good professional service, we chose him again this time for selling the house. Barry has exceeded our expectations again this time by being on -top of matters when they come up, providing very helpful guidance... throughout the process and coordinating with all parties in a very proactive way. He is always so fast at responding to our requests/emails/calls and contributed a lot to make the closing happen almost 1 month sooner than the scheduled time. We are extremely happy about Barry's services and appreciated all his hard work/dedication and help.
