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!

100% Satisfaction

Jim was able to help us close on our house. Not only was he available at all times but he was able to walk us through all legalities step by step. He was never in a rush or hurry to get us off the phone. He was extremely specific about everything and made sure that we were on the right path at all ti...mes. I would highly recommend Jim and will be using him again when we decide to buy another home! You will not be disappointed with his services!

Hands down great attorney

We were buying our first home and James was instrumental in making it happen. From the first time we spoke up until the day of closing, James walked us through all the steps and made sure that we understood the whole process. He was extremely helpful and always responsive, we always felt like we were... in good hands and that he was acting in our best interest. There was one thing that almost kept us from getting the house (on the seller’s side not ours) and he went out of his way, doing everything he could (from collaborating with the real estate agents to making frequent calls and sending emails to the clients attorneys) to get it resolved in a timely manner. Most importantly, he did it all while making sure we didn’t stress one bit. We recommend James to anyone looking to buy their perfect home or for any other legal matters. We will definitely be contacting him again in the future.

First Time Home Buyer

I highly recommend Jim O'Kelly. We are grateful our realtor introduced us. He comes to the table with empathy, passion and impressive knowledge. His communication skills are top-notch, and throughout the process of buying our home he was able to be the rational, guiding force to navigate the law and ...the personalities we were dealing. Most importantly, Jim was always our advocate and always accessible (mornings, nights, weekends.) I'm confident Jim has the experience to tackle any issues that may arise with your case.
