James D. O'Kelly

Jim was a huge help in buying my first house, he really knows all the ins and outs of the industry and what to look for. He looks out for your best interests and is truly on your side! Communication was clear, easy and fast, I felt like I could reach him at anytime. He is also very knowledgeable and ...tries hard to make things as easy as possible for you as the buyer. I would highly recommend Jim to anyone and will definitely be using his services in the future.

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.

My husband and I just closed on a house today in Parsippany. I honestly never write reviews, but James O’Kelly has been God sent throughout this whole process. Attentive, competent, skilled, and meticulous are only a few of Jim’s character. He is extremely patient and knowledgeable. He even answered ...my phone call at 9 PM when I needed clarification on something. He never rushes you off the phone and gives wise advise. He responds quickly to all calls/emails and always has his clients’ interest at heart. Even during the closing, he told us that we can ask him questions if anything ever comes up. I whole heartedly recommend Jim to anyone looking for a lawyer with impeccable work ethics and great character. Jim - for the millionth time, thank you, thank you, thank you!

As first time home buyers, Jim went above and beyond to make sure our purchase went as smoothly as possible, in spite of dealing with difficult sellers. He took the time to walk us through the home buying process and answer any questions we had, giving us the level of knowledge we needed to feel conf...ident in our purchase. As we approached barriers in negotiations and closing, Jim was constantly available to proactively advise us and provide resolution when necessary. Jim is a personable, trustworthy lawyer whose professionalism, excellent communication skills, and proficiency in navigating and owning the home buying process will contribute to an overall enjoyable experience.

We used Jim O'Kelly for a recent home purchase and from the very beginning Jim had our back. The transaction didn't go through a realtor, so we relied on Jim heavily throughout the process. He was there every step of the way, carefully explaining what was happening, next steps, possible pitfalls..., etc. Jim was readily available by phone and email and gave answers and advice promptly. We couldn't have asked for a smoother home buying experience and Jim deserves much of the credit for that.
