First time buyer

My fiance and I just closed on our first home. Thanks to Jim's help, the process was as smooth as a home purchase can be. He was extremely helpful in keeping us on track and explaining any complicated legal terminology. Also, he responded quickly on every email and text that we had questions and conc...erns on. I would highly recommend Jim O'Kelly.

A Million Stars

My husband and I just closed on a house today in Parsippany. I honestly never write reviews, but James O’Kelly has been God sent throughout this whole process. Attentive, competent, skilled, and meticulous are only a few of Jim’s character. He is extremely patient and knowledgeable. He even answered ...my phone call at 9 PM when I needed clarification on something. He never rushes you off the phone and gives wise advise. He responds quickly to all calls/emails and always has his clients’ interest at heart. Even during the closing, he told us that we can ask him questions if anything ever comes up. I whole heartedly recommend Jim to anyone looking for a lawyer with impeccable work ethics and great character. Jim - for the millionth time, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Very responsive RE attorney!

Jim was very communicative from the very beginning of my home buying process. He was with me all the way and answered all my questions promptly. He also caught something missing in the closing disclosures. Very happy with his work!

Excellent Real Estate Attorney

I've bought and sold several houses in the past and of all the real estate attorneys I have used, Jim is the best. We were downsizing and he represented us both in the sale of our property and purchase of a smaller home. He expertly and skillfully coordinated both transactions. He was holding our ...hands from signing of the contract until closing. He promptly answered every question we had. I recommend him highly.

Real Estate Closing

Jim was fantastic! We were recommended by our real estate agent to hire Jim for our closing. As a first time home buyer, we were very nervous about the entire process. Jim was very thorough explaining the ins and outs of closing after offer acceptance. We had a long 7 month process of buying our ...first home including two houses falling through after contract due to undisclosed issues by the sellers. Jim was very patient and easy to work with throughout the entire process. He was very responsive and available upon moments notice. We will definitely be recommending Jim to our friends and family looking to purchase a home in the future.
