Job well done!

It was a delight to work with Jim. We used his services to close on 2 houses. He is professional, detailed oriented and easy to understand ( plain English, no “Lawyer speak.” ). He returns calls and follows-up. I would heartily recommend him,

Absolutely Amazing

Jim was one of the best decisions we made during the entire home buying process. He was recommended by our realtor and quickly became an integral part of the transaction. He answered all emails and calls timely, always kept us informed and updated on the ever changing status of our transaction and go...t us to the closing table. As first time homebuyers we had no idea what we were doing but Jim is extremely seasoned and explained every part of the process and what he was doing for us. He went above and beyond for us the entire time and we will not hesitate to hire him again. Thank you Jim!!! Joseph & Gabrielle

An attorney who really represents you

If you are looking for a lawyer who is well-organized and who knows his craft, Jim O'Kelley is your man. Jim is extremely knowledgeable about real estate closing. When I sold my home he guided me through every step of the process. When my greedy and demanding buyers were being unfair and shady Jim's... tenacity and quick thinking brought us a favorable outcome. Jim stayed on top of everything and made sure there was no stone left unturned. He weaved through the complicated legalese of the real estate contracts and he expertly explained what was being said. I always felt that Jim was in my corner and that he was fighting for me. This is what you want in your attorney. I look forward to the occasion when I can work with him again. I highly recommend his services.

Don’t hesitate, call James!

Jim is an amazing attorney. We used him for our first home purchase and he was helpful, thorough, kind, and all around amazingly good at what he does. He was always immediately reachable and we felt like we were always his top priority. We will be maintaining our relationship with Jim for life and wi...ll be recommending him to anyone that needs his services.

Best of the best- not sure how we got so lucky!

Jim felt more like a friend than my lawyer throughout the home buying process. My husband and I looked forward to speaking with him, and he did an incredible job "dumbing down" the basics of buying our first home into a language that we understood. Jim was patient, kind, and always ready to speak to ...either of us about the details of buying our first home (...during the middle of the pandemic almost entirely over the phone!). Jim is meticulously organized with details and to-do lists. He helped us think through every decision we had to make, and gave us the freedom to do so in our own time. His easy-going and down-to-earth demeanor made it very easy to trust his advice and opinions, and we are so happy to have met him. If you are looking for that personal touch, trust, and ease in your homebuying process, look no further than Jim. We will be recommending him to EVERY young friend of ours who looks to buy a home. We feel like we have gained a trusted friend in addition to a new home. Thank you, Jim!
