Richard D. Kelly

I have been a highly successful real estate agent for 24 years and have met many attorneys during this time. It is my professional opinion that Richard Kelly is the best residential sales attorney in the area. Mr. Kelly is a consummate professional and is also extremely responsive to my clients.... I have never heard any client complain about a lack of communication; in fact, I've really never heard any complaints at all. Mr. Kelly's knowledge and experience are vast and his intellectual prowess is commanding. While such gifts can be intimidating, Mr. Kelly has an outstanding ability to communicate issues to clients in a way that they are clearly understood thereby enabling them to make informed decisions. He is equally adept at keeping me informed. Additionally, his sense of ethics and duty is uncompromising. In my business, there are attorneys who unfortunately pander to realtors. Mr. Kelly never deviates from the best practice of the law. I have tremendous respect for him and have recommended his services to family and friends as well as my business clients. I would also like to add that Richard Kelly is also a genuinely nice person who works extremely hard. It is not unknown to receive messages from him during a weekend. As I said, he's the best real property attorney in the area but I do know that his practice incorporates other areas of the law as well. My experience with Mr. Kelly is limited to real property.

I have worked with Richard D. Kelly for many years and have always found him to be professional, trustworthy and extremely knowledgeable. When my clients ask me to recommend a real estate attorney, Mr. Kelly is the first number I give because I know that his attention to detail will help our transac...tion go smoothly. He always keeps me "in the loop" as far as knowing exactly what is happening and how the transaction is progressing. all of my clients that have used Richard Kelly's services have been very satisfied and happy with his services. He is cordial and always makes himself available to answer any questions.

I am a real estate broker and I am always happy to recommend Mr. Kelly. Regardless of which side of the transaction he is representing, wether my client or the other brokers I know there is at least one exceptionally competent attorney involved in the process. In the 15 or so years that I have know...n him I have found him to be fair, knowledgeable and tenacious in protecting his clients interest. His patient and understanding demeanor developed over his many years of experience are valuable assets in difficult transactions. I would not hesitate in recommending him to clients, friends and family.

Richard was extremely knowledgeable when it came to dealing with the banks for mortgages. We were kept well informed during the closing proccess. Every question we had was answered promptly. He handled all of our concerns in a pleasent, professional, personable, and timely manner. Should the need for... an attorney occur in the future, I will definately contact Richard.

It is truly a pleasure to write this review. Mr. Kelly has represented many of my clients in a variety of real estate transactions. In my experience, there are very few attorneys who understand the nature of real estate transactions or can guide their clients through them better than Mr. Kelly. He ...is unusually accessible and responsive to client’s (and even the agent’s) calls and keeps pace with clients who prefer electronic communications. Whether it is a $2 million colonial or a $285,000 bungalow, Mr. Kelly treats the deal and the participants with equal attention and importance. With over 30 years of experience, Mr. Kelly knows what questions to ask, how to time a question or answer and how to use leverage, even when it seems his client has little to bargain with. He is invariably honest and practical; he will spell out for a client the legal issues involved, the likely outcome or various options and, and then tell him,” as a practical matter, this is your best shot.” His aim is what is best for the client and not how much business he can draw from the twists and turns the transaction may take. Those of you who prefer representation by a “junk yard dog” – look elsewhere. Mr. Kelly is a class act with superb legal and people skills and the well-deserved respect of his peers. A good lawyer may be hard to find but finding an exceptionally good lawyer is as easy as calling Richard Kelly, Esq, in Oradell, NJ
