Excellent Attorney

James O'Kelly is an exceptional real estate attorney. He responded immediately to any and all questions we had about our home purchase. His advice was of great assistance and he was extremely knowledgable. Our transaction was smooth sailing until the very end when the home owner's warranty was delaye...d in being issued. He went above and beyond to move the process along so we could obtain the HOW and the certificate of occupancy to close on the house. He helped make the experience of buying our dream home pleasant and smooth. We would use Mr. O'Kelly for any future real estate transactions. We highly recommend Mr. O'Kelly.

Jim is simply the best!

Jim was my attorney for my recent home purchase, and I can't find enough great things to say about him. Jim was extremely responsive, even encouraging me to call or text him day, night, and weekend with any questions or concerns I had. He always answered promptly and gave me full, detailed answers an...d explanations for everything. He was never in a rush to get me off the phone, and he always made sure I fully understood every step of the homebuying process. Jim is simply a wealth of information about the homebuying process, and his years of experience in this field show. He left no stone unturned in making sure my transaction went smoothly and that there were no surprises along the way. Jim's rates were very competitive, and he even saved me money by acting ad the closer during my deal. I could not have asked for a better, more knowledgable, or more personable to assist me in buying my home. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend Jim O'Kelly to anyone buying or selling a home.

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.
