Exceptional experience

Jim was beyond trustworthy and competent as our lawyer for the sale and purchase of our new and old home. He always responded very quickly to all our messages, questions and requests. He was thorough in explaining all necessary steps and always had our best interest at heart. Jim was extremely knowle...dge when it came to real estate and made us always feel comfortable. Working with Jim was a great experience and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy real estate! He made the process very easy!

James was a blessing!

From the very start of the process, to the day of closing, James made us feel like he was actually purchasing the house himself, and that we were his only clients. He stayed in touch with us continuously throughout the entire process, keeping us updated and well informed. He went above and beyond, an...d we could not be anymore grateful that we had him on our team! Unfortunately we had to deal with a seller’s team that was not on the ball, and barely responsive, and James not only did everything on his end to keep things moving along, but picked up all the slack from the other side. Not a day went by throughout our process that I didn’t say “Thank God for James!” It truly was a blessing that we were led to James, and I will ALWAYS recommend James to anymore and everyone I know!!!

Intelligent, Extremely Knowledgeable, Responsive, Completely Fair, Very Thorough, Polite and Professional

My wife and I hired Mr. O’Kelly for the closing on our home. This man is nothing short of a lifesaver. He’s an absolute brilliant attorney who knows the “ins and outs” of the law and abides by professional courtesy all around. The seller of the home we were buying was oddly giving us a very hard time.... They would not respond, their lawyer was not responsive at all, but O’Kelly stayed persistent and did whatever he needed to do to get answers to move the process forward. If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have been able to complete the purchase on our home. The lack of care and responsiveness we witnessed from our buyers’ and sellers’ lawyers only further proved that we made the greatest choice by hiring Mr. O’Kelly. He’s young, yet very experienced in closings as he does many. He “ran circles” around the other lawyers and wasn’t afraid to call them out on things they weren’t doing right. He made suggestions and raised serious potential issues during the process that saved my wife and I from being stuck with major future costs as well. We are very happy and thankful for his hard work and dedication. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, and the price is CHEAP compared to what he offers in return.

Absolutely Amazing

We recently hired Jim to help us sell our house and buy another. Our house sale & purchase was very complicated and Jim was extremely thorough and organized. He also had our back and ensured we were protected the entire way. He helped keep us on track (which we needed) and was available to answer ...our questions any time we needed. We absolutely could not have done this without him. We would hire him a million times over!!!!

I highly recommend Him!!

If I could give him ten stars, I would give them to Him. Jim helped us with the purchase of our first home, he made the process easy and smooth from start to finish, the entire negotiation was 100% satisfactory in every way, very pleased to have worked with him.
