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.

Excellent Attorney

James O'Kelly did an outstanding job when we sold our home. We were moving out of NJ and knew there would be a lot involved. A family member recommended Jim and we were very happy we used him. He was knowledgeable about moving out of state and took the time to explain the process to us. He gave... us great advice when the buyers wanted to move in early, and how to protect our interests. No text or phone call went unanswered, even on a weekend. Jim's professionalism and expertise are simply unmatched. We highly recommend him!

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!
