Best Attorney

I had Andy as my attorney for a newly built home in Northern Jersey, and it is the best experience I ever had with any kind of law service. The seller is a big national builder not easy to deal with, while Andy really protected my interests from the contract review to the closing date, giving all goo...d advises to me (first time home buyer), he is extremely knowledgeable and accountable, he is willing to spend extra time to go the next mile to negotiate/fight with counter parties for any bit of my benefits. BTW, He replies email on Sunday and late night with quick turnaround and frequently call me to quickly answer any questions, which I find especially important for first time home buyer like me. I do have a legal plan which can find me a free attorney, but I am 100% sure I will come to Andy again if I had any legal issues that falls into his fields. Only after you use his service will you understand why it is all 5 star reviews here.

Excellent Attorney

My husband and I retained Andrew Roth when we were in the process of purchasing our very first home. He is an absolute pleasure! He walked us through the process, explained the sometimes-complicated intricacies of home buying/ownership, and made us feel completely at ease. Andy is very responsive ...and always on-call to answer any questions we had. My husband and I knew we were in good hands from beginning to end. He made what could be a stressful experience a very positive one. We are thankful for his guidance. I highly recommend Andrew Roth.

Client for private real estate

I've had the pleasure of working with Andrew Roth on 2 real estate transactions in the past 6 months. Initially me and my fiancee were new to the home buying process and were looking for a lawyer to help us with our first home buying experience. I called about 6 different lawyers, and in the end ...I wound up choosing Andy. During our first call Andy said something that the other lawyers didn't - that when he is on a case he will always be accessible and will help us through the entire process. Andy did just that - we would send him an email Friday night, weekends, mornings and we would get a response within hours. He was always on time, made me and my fiancee feel like a priority throughout the entire process, and provided solid legal advice. We felt so comfortable and confident with him representing us during our first home buying experience that we decided to use his services to buy a second unit for our parents. The experience with Andy was the very same. We intend on using Andy for all future transactions and I strongly recommend him to all of my family and friends. It was an absolute pleasure for us to write this review about Andy.

Knowledge beyond our expectations!

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Andrew while purchasing our new home. Andrew is impressively knowledgeable and will listen to and explain every concern you will have. When making such a large investment, people need to have someone working for them that they can trust in all a...spects of the transaction. Andrew's integrity and professionalism was exactly what my wife and I needed while being under the stress of moving our family. -Frank and Jessica C.

Amazing Real Estate Lawyer

I retained Andy Roth to help me sell a residential property. It was a distressed property and I had been struggling for years to short sell it. Andy recommended an amazing realtor, who found a buyer and had a contract on the house within a month. Andy then convinced my lender to forgive the debt enti...rely, and was even able to get my lender to pay me a relocation fee. Although I’ve heard that short sales can take a long time to complete, the whole process – from the time we listed the property with the realtor until we actually closed on the sale – took only about four months. Andy was a pleasure to work with. He was always available for questions during the day, evenings, and weekends. He made the difficult and emotionally draining process of selling a distressed property as easy and painless as I could have hoped for, and my family and I are grateful to have had his help. His rates are reasonable, and you get much more than you pay for. Highly recommended.
