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

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.

Couldn't ask for more!

I can't say enough good things about Pete. He has worked on both selling a house and purchasing a house for us. Since this was the first time we had done transactions like this, Pete was there for us every step of the way to guide us through. He was always on top of any issue that came up, he rese...arched everything and explained things to us in terms we could understand. When we were in the process of purchasing our home, we thought it may have been in a flood zone. Pete went above and beyond to contact the township, county and even FEMA, he made sure he got us accurate information. Each and every time we had a question about even the smallest thing, Pete would respond instantly. He was always available, no matter what time of day. We couldn't have done either transaction without his expert guidance and knowledge. If you are looking for the best lawyer in the business, Pete is definitely the one.

Thorough from start to finish

Our real estate agent recommended Peter to my boyfriend and I once we placed a bid on our first home & got it accepted. As first time homeowners, we had very little knowledge of the process which can definitely be overwhelming at times. Peter was super responsive and spelled everything out for me. Hi...s knowledge and experience definitely shined throughout the process and everything that he did for us was done efficiently, quickly and professionally. I would definitely recommend Peter to anyone looking for a real estate lawyer. It's definitely nice to not have to worry about anything that Peter is in charge of because you KNOW he will do it right. He will also go above and beyond as well to give you a peace of mind. Thank you for all of your help Peter !

Awesome Lawyer and Great Experience

As a first time home buyer, I knew very little. I didn’t know what to expect. I was recommended to Peter. Thank God! This guy is Great! He stuck with me through the entire purchase and helped me to overcome many obstacles. He most definitely went the extra mile for me. It wasn’t easy, but, he always... assured me I would get my home, and to trust him. Well, he delivered and got me my home! I was extremely happy! He was so easy to talk to and never made me feel uncomfortable. He was very knowledgeable and anytime I hade a question, he got back to me right away, whether through email or on the phone. I felt like I knew him forever and throughout this process, I felt like I gained a friend. Thank you Peter, for all you have done for me and my mom. It was a pleasure to work with you and would highly recommend you 100%.
