The Best Attorney

I not only recommend attorney James O’Kelly, but I guarantee once you have used his service you too will look no further. He responds in an extreme timely matter, he is a very knowledge, trustworthy person. There is no other attorney that will work as hard for you. My husband and I used Mr. O’Kelly ...to assist us with the purchasing of our first house, he did a very diligent work from a not easy seller and with a house that had some issues. He is a wonderful attorney I could not have been happier and I will never go anywhere else.

Real Estate Purchase

I recently purchased a home with James as my real estate attorney. The entire process was very smooth and organized, thanks to Jim's dedication. He stayed on top of all deadlines and made sure everything was completed on my behalf and the seller's. Jim always responded to emails/calls immediately and... in very well detailed clear and concise responses. He is willing to respond and work at all times of any day; late night/early morning emails and even Sunday afternoon phone calls. Jim truly made this process much less stressful and I truly appreciate that! During closing, Jim was very thorough and knowledgeable with every document I was signing. Even after closing, Jim is still willing to address any potential issues. I absolutely recommend anyone in need of an attorney, especially real estate, to utilize Jim's services.

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.

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.
