Sale of Current Home and Purchase of New Construction Home

Dan and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with. I used Dan for the sale of my current home, the purchase of our new construction home and everything else in between. Although it was extremely stressful Dan made it a smooth transition. I am confident there is no way the deal would have bee...n done without his knowledge and hard work. Best of all, Dan explains the situation in language that you can understand and does so at a fair price. Thank you Dan (and your great team) for all of your hard work and dedication! It was very much appreciated and I look forward to working with you again in the future!

Sale and Purchase of a Home

Selling and purchasing a home can be stressful. Dan Tota is a highly professional lawyer who took the stress out of these transactions by being responsive 100% of the time, and providing insightful information that was accurate and understandable. He has the patience to answer questions, and works ef...ficiently to get the job done. I felt confident being represented by a smart, personable, and knowledgeable lawyer.

Great Experience

Made us feel very comfortable during the entire home buying process. He is a hard worker who knows his stuff. He explained everything to us in a very clear way and was very timely in responding to our questions/needs.

Excellent, Thorough, Intelligent, Expedient

Dan was actually the lawyer for the bank for our home refinancing but he was so thorough and professional we called on him to represent us on another real estate project.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I recently had the opportunity to work with Dan on a very difficult short sale transaction in which he represented the seller. Dan was not only pleasant to work with but also very knowledgeable in this area. In addition to the short sale situation, there were other judgments that needed to be taken care of. Dan dealt with these other issues competently and efficiently which despite the difficult nature of this deal facilitated a very smooth closing. I welcome the opportunity to work with Dan again."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
