James deStefano is simply the best attorney I've had the pleasure of working with!

I am so glad that I picked Mr. DeStefano to handle a legal matter for me. He handled the negotiations and got my transaction approved within no time. James always kept me updated as to what was going on, on a regular basis. Anytime I called to speak with him, he was available to answer all of m...y questions. He responded to my emails instantly. It was a pleasure working with James & would highly recommend him to anyone I know who needs a great lawyer.

Excellent Representation

A court appearance is always a stressful undertaking. My case and all my concerns were handled by Mr. de Stefano in an extremely caring and professional manner. Through constant communication on Mr. de Stefano’s part, I was thoroughly prepared for the legal process. I was very satisfied with the ...outcome of my case and would highly recommend James de Stefano for any legal advice or services.

Supportive legal service

Working with James changed my views of how I expected a typical attorney to treat me and handle my concerns. The attorneys I had worked with prior to James were always rushed and seemed like my case was not of importance to them. I can't say enough about James. I was going through a bad, difficult, a...nd complicated time and he was always there to support me. He actually made me feel like I was a priority and always communicated with me. In addition, he went above and beyond to keep my best interests in mind. Anytime I had a question or concern or needed him to do something, he always had time to email, call, or meet with me. The legal process can be complicated and stressful and if it were not for the help James provided, I do not know that I would have gotten through my situation. He never treated me just as a paying client, but rather someone that he actually cared to help. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for legal services.

Great Lawyer

Mr. de Stefano has appeared on my behalf in multiple municipal court appearances. I was very satisfied with his professionalism, courtesy, and ability to resolve my matters in a quick and positive way.
