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.

Absolutely Amazing

Jim was one of the best decisions we made during the entire home buying process. He was recommended by our realtor and quickly became an integral part of the transaction. He answered all emails and calls timely, always kept us informed and updated on the ever changing status of our transaction and go...t us to the closing table. As first time homebuyers we had no idea what we were doing but Jim is extremely seasoned and explained every part of the process and what he was doing for us. He went above and beyond for us the entire time and we will not hesitate to hire him again. Thank you Jim!!! Joseph & Gabrielle

An attorney who really represents you

If you are looking for a lawyer who is well-organized and who knows his craft, Jim O'Kelley is your man. Jim is extremely knowledgeable about real estate closing. When I sold my home he guided me through every step of the process. When my greedy and demanding buyers were being unfair and shady Jim's... tenacity and quick thinking brought us a favorable outcome. Jim stayed on top of everything and made sure there was no stone left unturned. He weaved through the complicated legalese of the real estate contracts and he expertly explained what was being said. I always felt that Jim was in my corner and that he was fighting for me. This is what you want in your attorney. I look forward to the occasion when I can work with him again. I highly recommend his services.

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.
