Outstanding

Despite an extremely difficult emotional and logistical estate situation, Peter could not have been any more empathetic and understanding in his dealing with the Executor. His level of timely and consistent communication was nothing short of outstanding, and very much appreciated. His explanations,... descriptions and direction with the completion of required legal documentation was helpful beyond belief. And his experience, expertise, and insight of New Jersey Real Estate and executorship law was greatly appreciated. Particularly being the executor resided outside of New Jersey. Peter was, and continues to be an invaluable legal resource to our family as the process of liquidating assets, and the process selling of my Uncles home, while dealing with New Jersey tax requirements, continue. I would absolutely recommend the Law office of Peter Balsamo in Milltown, NJ to anyone having to contend with the legal situations such as I have. Respectfully submitted, Michael S. Pennsylvania

A Legal Maestro

I had the pleasure of working with Pete during a particularly challenging home purchase, involving the assumption of a mortgage from a family member living overseas. The intricate details, coupled with tight deadlines around the holiday season, seemed like an insurmountable task. However, Pete's expe...rtise and unwavering commitment shone through every step of the way. Pete's ability to seamlessly coordinate with banks, title companies, and us, his clients, was nothing short of remarkable. His support and knowledge were invaluable throughout the process, turning what could have been a daunting experience into a smooth and successful journey to homeownership. Thank you, Pete, for your outstanding work, dedication, and for making the seemingly impossible, possible. Your legal prowess and genuine commitment to your clients truly set you apart. I couldn't be more grateful for your assistance in securing my dream home.

Extremely knowledgeable and down to earth Attorney

When we bought our house in Piscataway 13 years ago, Peter Balsamo was the sellers attorney. Even being on the opposing side of the table then, the negotiations went smoothly, imo due to the experience and expertise of the attorneys. We were very impressed with Peter then so when we needed a new at...torney to represent us in our house sale this year (our former attorney had since passed away), we immediately thought of Peter and contacted him. He is extremely knowledgeable, highly professional, and at the same time, very down to earth and matter of fact in communicating. Peter is very easy to talk to, treated us with utmost respect, and responded promptly to all our questions and clarification requests (and I had quite a few). If you are embarking on a real estate transaction journey, go with Peter Balsamo - he will get you through to close as uneventfully as possible.

Buyer/Seller

We hired Peter to purchase a condominium. then sell my parents home, then transfer the condo to my parents. Peter was top notch. He was attentive to details, QUICK to respond, extremely professional, offered creative solutions for signing documents due to covid. He was always thinking ahead in terms ...of structuring and responding to the other side. I have my masters in RE finance and have worked on many commercial real estate closings: trust me Peter is the cream of the crop. Also notable - we found Peter by asking a attorney friend who he used for his own Mom’s house sale. .

Best in the business!!!

Peter helped us to navigate through our very first home purchase in NJ like a pro. We had no idea how the system works and Peter made it very easy for us and took full responsibility of the process. He was very quick to respond anytime we had a question and was always a step ahead and educated us on ...what comes next and how to be ready for the next step. Thank You, Peter!!!!!
