Purchase of a New Home

Dan, as well as his staff, were an absolute pleasure to deal with. They were very responsive to any questions my husband and I had throughout the home buying process and and they made the home purchasing experience painless. Dan explained both the contract and closing documents to us in terms that we...re easy to understand. We plan to use Dan in the future when we sell our townhouse and would highly recommened him.

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.

Sale of long time home

Dan helped us out with the sale of our home for the past 28 years. He provided us with excellent, caring, and very conscientious service, and was always available to respond to any of our concerns and questions. One particular item that particularly impressed me was when he responded to a question ...I asked of him during a weekend. I wasn't expecting a response until that Monday, but within hours, Dan responded with the answers. Dan, as well as his courteous and equally caring staff, made sure I was informed about all important matters regarding the sale of my property, and made it as pain free as I ever could have hoped for. It went exceptionally well, and I credit Dan's knowledge and efforts from the contract to the numerous closing requirements for having made it so easy for us.

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."
