Excellent Lawyer - Highly Recommended

I am a real estate attorney and used Jim to purchase my home. Jim's client service is among the best I've seen. All questions are promptly answered and he makes himself available day or night. You will always be treated with respect and patience. Jim's negotiation skills are among the best I'v...e encountered. He understands leverage, deal flow, and how to manage multiple issues as they arise and in a very time-efficient manner. He's got a great "quarterback's view of the field." Jim's knowledge of the law and practice area is also top-flight. He has a deep network of professionals (inspectors, surveyors, title companies, etc.) that he assembles to get your deal done quickly and efficiently, while protecting you to the greatest degree possible. I cannot recommend Jim enough. Thanks again Jim!

Very responsive and reliable

Jim was great to work with on buying our first home. He walked us through the entire process, which could be daunting at times. Jim was always available for any question, call, or email. He really put us at ease and made things less complicated. My husband and I would recommend him as an attorne...y for anyone looking to purchase a home.

Reliable and thorough

We hired Mr. O'kelly for the purchase of our home. He is top notch in keeping up with communication, answering timely and with knowledge of his field. We appreciate his friendly demeanor, and how he candidly he can "put out" all the little fires that can occur during the purchasing of a home. He kept... us in the loop for everything, and completed items of point very quickly.

GREAT Attorney and GREAT Experience!

We worked with Jim to close on a house. He was so easy to work with and ensured we knew what was going on every step of the way. He always had our best interest in mind and walked us through the legal language and how it would affect our purchase. We’ve closed and sold on houses in the past with oth...er attorneys and Jim was by far the best to work with! We wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again or recommend him.

Best Lawyer EVER!!

James (Jim) O’Kelly is more than a lawyer. He is someone who listens, feels, and fights for your best interest. From start to finish and every moment in between he was 100% professional and concerned with my wellbeing. Jim handled the sale as well as the purchase of my new home. As a person who has ...bought and sold a few homes he is BY FAR the best I have ever worked with. If I could reach every homebuyer out there and offer 1 piece of advice it would be Jim! He answered the phone day or night, weekday or weekend. He was super efficient, kind and understanding of our needs. I could not find one flaw in his transactions. I feel 100% blessed for having him help me through the grueling process of selling and buying.
