Absolutely Phenomenal

James is THEE ABSOLUTE BEST lawyer to have by your side especially as a first time homebuyer. James always made himself available to answer questions, provide education, and advocate on our behalf. With his guidance we were able to quickly and confidently close on our first home. I would absolutely r...ecommend James to anyone seeking legal counsel. We consider him not only our lawyer but a part of the family. James is knowledgeable and genuine, truly a diamond in the rough.

Excellent

James O'Kelly is a true God send. My realtor recommended him. Within the first five minute phone call with him, I knew I was in good hands. I was selling my current home and purchasing another home. James was very helpful and extremely knowledgeable. He assured me that everything would work out... and I had complete trust in him. He kept me updated on a daily basis and was always within reach making himself available even after 5:00 and on weekends. James went over and above for me and I can't be more thankful. Most impressive is how caring and patient he is. He spent a lot of time working with me and treated me like family. He was really routing for me and truly wanted to help. He really cared about you. I would highly recommend James O'Kelly to everyone and I am so happy and thankful to have him in my corner. Honestly, I can not say enough good things about him. He made the whole process go quickly and smoothly.

Mr. O’Kelly was beyond amazing in helping me with my closing on my townhouse. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable in what he does, but he made me feel calm and relaxed during my purchase and answered all of my questions. I would 110% recommend using him.

Intelligent, Extremely Knowledgeable, Responsive, Completely Fair, Very Thorough, Polite and Professional

My wife and I hired Mr. O’Kelly for the closing on our home. This man is nothing short of a lifesaver. He’s an absolute brilliant attorney who knows the “ins and outs” of the law and abides by professional courtesy all around. The seller of the home we were buying was oddly giving us a very hard time.... They would not respond, their lawyer was not responsive at all, but O’Kelly stayed persistent and did whatever he needed to do to get answers to move the process forward. If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have been able to complete the purchase on our home. The lack of care and responsiveness we witnessed from our buyers’ and sellers’ lawyers only further proved that we made the greatest choice by hiring Mr. O’Kelly. He’s young, yet very experienced in closings as he does many. He “ran circles” around the other lawyers and wasn’t afraid to call them out on things they weren’t doing right. He made suggestions and raised serious potential issues during the process that saved my wife and I from being stuck with major future costs as well. We are very happy and thankful for his hard work and dedication. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, and the price is CHEAP compared to what he offers in return.
