Fast and responsive! A+ Experience and plan to use again!

Great experience! I went to Louis for a slightly more complex refinance that also involved removing another person from the original deed and mortgage. I found him as part of my employers Metlife legal plan as a attorney that was local, covered by the plan, and had positive online reviews. He did not... disappoint and lived up to his online reputation. Every step of the way it was great to work with him. He was very responsive by both phone and email taking my calls personally at his office or replying to my emails, often within minutes at even off hours, and making sure to answer any and all of my questions. He was very personable and approachable with every interaction and moved quickly (we closed in just under 30 days). Highly recommend him and I plan on using him moving forward for any legal needs that I may have and that fall in his scope of services.

Great Attorney!

I hired Louis to represent me as a homebuyer and I couldn't have been happier! As a first time homebuyer I wasn't familiar with the process but Louis explained everything to me with patience and was available to answer any question I had. He gets the job done efficiently and professionally and knows ...what to look out for so that his client is well represented. If you think it is a complicated process to purchase a home then you haven't used Louis Chapman's services!

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.

Patient and thorough!

We worked with Mr. Louis for the the sale or our property. Our deal fell through a couple of times due to random issues from the buyers end, but every time Mr. Louis was very patient and thorough with is. Finally we did sell our house and Mr. Louis represented us. He was very approachable through out... the process, prompt in responding and clarifying things. It was a pleasure working with Mr Louis Chapman and I would highly recommend him.

Very responsive and friendly

Louis is great, he’s very attentive and responsive. He helped me with my closing as seller. He communicated well with buyer’s attorney as well. The whole transaction was seamless! Definitely would work with Louis again!
