Great Lawyer
As executor to my mothers estate I had no experience in this area and I needed an attorney assist me. It was a complex estate to resolve because we had several beneficiaries and my mother was very specific about her wishes on how the assets were being distributed. From the start Jace and his team took charge to get things in order and provided me with the information I needed to keep the beneficiaries informed of progress. His firm also assisted with the sale of the house and we even had a death in the family which was a tragedy and further complicated matters with the sale and the buyers. Jace and his staff were empathetic to our situation and helped us navigate through this challenge personally and recommended a solution that helped us retain the buyers. Throughout the entire process Jace was always available to give me sound strategic guidance to resolve conflicts between the beneficiaries, conduct several payouts and handle the various tasks that come with resolving an estate. He always assisted me in making the right decisions in order to accommodate my mother’s final wishes. I highly recommend Jace to anyone that needs a solid attorney and is looking for a firm that goes above and beyond for their clients. Jace is a class act and his staff is awesome. THANK YOU!!!

My real estate closing went so smoothly because of Jace!
Jace was very helpful in my first home purchase. Buying a first home can be very stressful and I was so happy to have someone that I could trust on my side. He walked me through what I should expect / request from the seller and helped so much along the way. My closing went so smoothly as well! Could not recommend more!

Hiring Jace was the best decision I made
I hired Jace and his team because I was the victim of fraud and was being sued because of a forged check. He was extremely responsive and knowledgeable and thanks to his strong research and litigation skills, he won my case. No one will fight harder for you than Jace and his team. I highly recommend him.

jace review
I highly recommend Jace McColley as a real estate attorney. Buying (and selling) real estate is extremely stressful and Jace alleviated my crazy fears throughout the whole transaction. From our first meeting, Jace explained everything to me in ways I could understand. He was there for me when anything arose and on the rare occasion when he was unavailable (due to him being in court) his able bodied assistants were accessible. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable real estate attorney at a fair price, Jace is your man.

BEST Attorney to work with
I've worked with Jace with both buyers and sellers. He is patient and easy to work with. He makes himself available to his clients to answer all their questions to make what can be a very stressful process smooth as silk. As a realtor communication is very important and he respects realtors opinions and navigates each transaction to a successful close! I would recommend him to all my clients and definitely use him myself.

Highly recommend!
My husband and I used Jace to sell our home and purchase a new house. We had very difficult buyers and Jace was great about following up and keeping us in the loop to the very end. He offered great advice along the way, and on his end it was a very streamlined and smooth process. Would 100% use him again and refer him to family and friends.

Best attorney & very professional
My boyfriend and I were first time home buyers. We didn't know much about the process but Jace explained everything along the way. He was very responsive with the many questions that we had. He was also very knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend Jace to everyone!

Very Professional with Great Patience
Jace was recommended by our realtor for a difficult divorce sale. I'm sure he had no idea what he was getting himself into but he did a great job of showing patience as the other side was not cooperative at times right up to the closing. He always kept us in the loop and worked hard up to the last minute to make sure the closing happened. I highly recommend him.

Hands Down BEST Attorney
Jace was extremely helpful with the purchase of our first home. He was very knowledgeable and accessible which really made us feel that we were in good hands. Jace took the time to explain process steps and things we did not understand as being first time home buyers. He takes the time that is needed to explain what is and what will happen. Jace is very personable and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend him to family and friends. He is hands down the BEST attorney!

Very Professional
Jace was recommended by our realtor when we bought our house 2 1/2 years ago. He is a very professional and responsible lawyer who does his job seriously. He responds to your emails and concerns quickly and his office workers are very nice. When we decided to sell our condo this year, we did not hesitate and called him again to represent us. I am highly recommending Jace to everyone!

Excellent lawyer
Jace was so easy to work with! He responded to emails and phone calls quickly, and made the whole home buying process a lot less stressful than I had imagined it would be. When I had questions after the sale was complete, he was always available to talk. I highly recommend this lawyer.

Very knowledgable, polished and experienced
When Jace was highly recommended by our realtor, we didn't hesitate to hire him for the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new home. Jace was very helpful in dealing with some "needy" buyers and saved us a good amount of money with his negotiating skills. He also was very much in control of the situation which made it a lot less stressful for us. He was very responsive to my calls and e-mails which was very important to me. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jace to our family and friends.

Empathetic attorney who gets the job done well
Jace is the lawyer you want. He doesn't talk down to his clients; instead he listens, gets the facts, then helps his clients with their particular set of circumstances. We've used Jace as our representation several times, and for several different issues, and each time he's done his research, laid out a gameplan, and gone to work for us. We recommend Jace McColley wholeheartedly.

Estate attorney
Jace conducted the close-out of my father's estate in a smooth, efficient process. After my father died we felt the filings and house sale required a professional. Jace explained what he would do and as his work progressed, everything went as he said and we were finished with the disposition of assets, notices, filings and close out in only a few months. Very dependable and fairly priced.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Jace for almost ten years, and can attest to both his professional abilities and personal integrity. Jace works harder than almost anyone I know. Every case that comes through his door, no matter how big or small, is tackled timely, competently, and intensely. Jace advocates aggressively on behalf of both his corporate and individual clients, but always treats all persons involved with dignity and respect. It has been a pleasure watching Jace flourish in his practice. Personally, Jace has handled much adversity in his life. Notwithstanding this, he always somehow manages to make lemons out of lemonade. It is this attitude towards life that draws people towards Jace and gives me inspiration. For these and other reasons, I highly recommend the Law Office of Jace McColley."
