Lou is a Pro's Pro

Mr. Chapman was skilled and savvy throughout the process of my first home purchase. He fought hard for me during the inspections process and was able to procure thousands of dollars in sellers concessions on my behalf. He was good natured, made himself available to me for guidance throughout the proc...ess, and even extended his network to me in order to make the inspections and mortgage process easier to navigate. I would not hesitate to work with Mr. Chapman again in the future.

A true professional with a top tier team.

Louis represented us both in the sale of our Bergen county home and the purchase of a home in Monmouth county. We dealt with some fairly demanding buyers on the sell side. Louis and his team of Michael and Tina were available for us at every turn. He even made himself available to us late a few ev...enings to ease our concerns. The buy side seemed fairly smooth until a few days after the close. We received a claim on escrow from the seller's attorney. Louis spent the time to resolve it even after he had received payment for our closing. I would recommend Louis to anyone who asked.

Bought a home - real estate lawyer

I obtained Mr. Chapman as legal council for a difficult close with a property that was owned by the bank. He was knowledgable, attentive and responsive. After the close the other party tried and failed to charge me for fees they overlooked. Louis was a bull dog and shut them down immediately. The...y later apologized to us. I highly recommend.

Excellent House Closing (Seller)

I was looking for a lawyer to help me with a real estate closing for a sale of my house. I found Mr. Chapman via a legal plan which is offered by my company. My initial conversation with Mr. Chapman was to discuss the covered services. He assured me that the sale of my primary residence was a servi...ce covered by my plan and that was the last conversation needed about costs. Louis is very responsive via phone, text or email. And I also can attest to the fact that Louis will respond back to you on a weekend (even on a Sunday). In reading the sales contracts, Louis adjusted the terms to protect me, especially when I missed the specifics myself. The closing went smoothly and I will use Louis on future legal transactions.

Saved me from suspension

About 12 years ago we used Louis for our home closing. He's very knowledgeable and is professional. I do a lot of driving and over the years have accumulated points on my record. When I needed, I hired an acquaintance to represent me in court. After a while, I figured I could get the same results a...nd not have to pay the attorney's fee. This past year I got a 2 speeding tickets. It would have put me at 10 points! My attorney worked out a deal with the prosecutor for 2 points. The judge rejected it and said that I was a reckless driver...My attorney said I should take the defensive driving course online. I did. Then the letter of suspension came. What the Heck!! I took the class! My attorney looked it up. I had gotten a ticket earlier and didn't take care of it. My wife just paid the summons online and I got no reduction in points and now I was over the limit. I'm screwed now! I asked for a hearing and didn't know what to do. I asked for a hearing. The very night before I was to go to DMV, I called Louis B. and explained what was going on. He said he would meet me at 8:30 the next morning at court. I was 5 minutes late, called ahead and he said not to worry, made me feel at ease and told me to drive safely. When I got there, he said I really need to work on my driving. A licence is privilege and a necessity. But a privilege. He told me that there is a special class that they offer - in very extreme cases. But they don't just give it to everyone. I said I already took the class online and got the point reduction. He said this is different. We met with the lady at the hearing. She was tough and blasted me about how I'm an unsafe driver and that driving is a privilege... (sounds familiar?) I was "invited" to sign up for the course. If I didn't take it my licence would be suspended. I took the course, it took 4 hours, was with a live person, and it was much more powerful than the boring online course. Today, I'm not suspended and will make every honest effort to drive safely... because I need to be able to drive... but it's only a privilege. Thank you Louis , Josh
