Louis Benjamin Chapman's Reviews

Posted by Avi R. | July 07, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Real Estate

Highly recommended for closing on a house

We used Louis B. Chapman as our attorney to close on our house. The entire process took less than 2 months. Louis was very knowledgeable and responded to questions of ours very quickly (even after 12am), guiding us in the entire home buying process. He was able to get us a large seller's credit. His ...connections in real estate (with local city officials, the seller's lawyer, etc.) enabled the process to go very smoothly. We highly recommend Louis B. Chapman and would use him again.

Absolutely Amazing!

I had such a wonderful experience with Louis as my real-estate attorney. He was very responsive, readily available, and diligent. Extremely knowledgeable and supportive with a great sense of humor. He made the process easy and smooth!

Super Lawyer

I so wish I met Mr Chapman years ago! In addition to professional perfection, he is very knowledgeable and helpful. I was quite at sea about what to do and when to do it, and he was there pointing out what was needed and when, in the gentlest way.

Patient and Client-Oriented

This was my first time hiring a lawyer for my home purchase, and Louis couldn't have made it easier. He was understanding and patient with me, walking me through the whole process while dealing with the other lawyers, realtors, and lenders as needed. Louis (not just the secretary!) was always just a ...phone call, text or email away, and answered all my questions promptly and courteously. His vast experience and expertise definitely came in handy. I would highly recommend him!

Complicated Condo Sale

We had a very complicated selling process for our Condo in Leonia, NJ and Mr. Chapman made it happen with a lot of ease. The buyer did not have a lawyer and Mr. Chapman had to deal directly with the Title Company and the Buyer's agents. There were some missing documents which was discovered by the b...uyer only two days before closing, which put the sale in jeopardy. Mr. Chapman did his research, looking for the missing document and found it. We ultimately closed in time. Besides this, Mr. Chapman has been very responsive, always available to talk including late nights and even during the Christmas weekend. It is always good to have a good lawyer by your side for a real-estate transaction and we had one. I would recommend Mr. Chapman to anyone who wants a smooth real-estate transaction and I would go back to him if necessary.
