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.

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.

Reliable and thorough

We hired Mr. O'kelly for the purchase of our home. He is top notch in keeping up with communication, answering timely and with knowledge of his field. We appreciate his friendly demeanor, and how he candidly he can "put out" all the little fires that can occur during the purchasing of a home. He kept... us in the loop for everything, and completed items of point very quickly.

A Million Stars

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!

Real Estate Closing

Jim was fantastic! We were recommended by our real estate agent to hire Jim for our closing. As a first time home buyer, we were very nervous about the entire process. Jim was very thorough explaining the ins and outs of closing after offer acceptance. We had a long 7 month process of buying our ...first home including two houses falling through after contract due to undisclosed issues by the sellers. Jim was very patient and easy to work with throughout the entire process. He was very responsive and available upon moments notice. We will definitely be recommending Jim to our friends and family looking to purchase a home in the future.
