5 stars isn’t enough!

Working with Jim was a real eye opener compared to previous attorneys we have worked with in the past. He assisted us during a real estate transaction and was extremely responsive but most importantly had our best interests at heart. When things went wrong he was the first one to pick up the pieces a...nd figure out the best way to approach things. He doesn’t just treat you like a client, when issues arise he takes it personal as if it’s his home in the transaction all while staying professional. He doesn’t have a hot head and is calculated every step of the way keeping composure but being aggressive when it’s needed without risking or sacrificing the deal. I am so happy my realtor referred us to him, we will forever be grateful for everything he has assisted with and would suggest anyone who is looking for a true professional to look no further. His costs were low for the services provided, he always made me feel like my questions were not as stupid as I thought they were and was prepared to guide us every step of the way. Thank you so much Jim, if we ever need another attorney we have peace of mind knowing you are a phone call or a text message away.

A Great Experience

Buying a home and selling a home at the same time can be extremely stressful. Thankfully, we hired Jim to guide us through both transactions and he reduced our stress considerably. I can't say enough about how easy he made everything. He patiently answered our numerous questions, and was always av...ailable to us. We highly recommend Jim.

Best attorney ever!

I needed to sell my home and buy a new home simultaneously. Atty O'Kelly made it seem so easy. Even when we ran into hiccups he still managed to get me out of my home on time. This would have never been possible with any other attorney. I would wake up to updates and sometimes late at night receive ...updates. Mr. O'Kelly knew how important this was for our family and treated me as if we were his family too. You will never get the promts responses and the dedication from anyone else. Mr. O'Kelly is here to stay on any future transactions with me or anyone within my family. I would 1,000% recommend him to everyone!!

Thank you Jim!

I hired Jim to be my attorney with a real estate closings. He did two closings for me in a matter of five months. He also represented me for the purchase of my newer home. For the five months that I’ve dealt with Jim he’s been nothing but professional kind and treats me as if he would treat his famil...y if they needed an attorney.. I never had to once worry about if he followed through with with anything that needed signatures, more correspondence, phone calls, dealing with the mortgage broker and helping me with a solar panel issue I had if you want somebody that is professional kind thorough and has your best interest as if you were his family then then you want to use Jim.

Excellent

James O'Kelly is a true God send. My realtor recommended him. Within the first five minute phone call with him, I knew I was in good hands. I was selling my current home and purchasing another home. James was very helpful and extremely knowledgeable. He assured me that everything would work out... and I had complete trust in him. He kept me updated on a daily basis and was always within reach making himself available even after 5:00 and on weekends. James went over and above for me and I can't be more thankful. Most impressive is how caring and patient he is. He spent a lot of time working with me and treated me like family. He was really routing for me and truly wanted to help. He really cared about you. I would highly recommend James O'Kelly to everyone and I am so happy and thankful to have him in my corner. Honestly, I can not say enough good things about him. He made the whole process go quickly and smoothly.
