Outstanding closing!

We were absolutely thrilled with the work of Albert Durante, Dan Tota, and Amanda Abel during the purchase of our home in April 2017. They helped guide us through every step of the process, clearly explained all our options, and advocated for us from contract through closing. They are a full-serv...ice shop, able to work seamlessly with all parties, from the mortgage broker, the bank, the real estate agents, and the title company. These professional relationships developed by Durante, Bock, & Tota saved us both time and money, both values so critical during a closing! We can't recommend DBT strongly enough! Call them today!

world-class and invested in my issue as if it were his own

You would have had to have had the number of mediocre, bad -- and I'll say it, horrific -- attorneys as I have had in my lifetime to be able to know what you have in Dan. Even the self-proclaimed superstar "best" ones out there could not shine Dan's shoes. In short, I can tell that career wise, a...t some point he decided to cross every T and dot every I when it comes to courtesy, professionalism, integrity, fair rates, open disclosure and most important of all to me, allowing clients the dignity to sit across the table and be an active, decisive player in their own issue. After all, it is my life and my issue, no? Well, in my experience, most lawyers' eyes would glaze over starting the minute you wrote them that $ check. It seemed as if they already knew what they would or would not do and their job was going to be a) to convince you to do something and/or b) talk you out of what you wanted. My wise dad used to say, doctors and lawyers compensation is set up wrong. For a doctor, he only gets paid if you stay sick; for a lawyer, he only gets paid if you stay in legal trouble. For either one, when your issue is solved, the money stops rolling in. But here's what separates the extraordinary from the mediocre, the bad and the horrific. I think Dan considers it a personal victory -- he was invested in my issue -- to finish the deal, wrap up the drama, get a fair compensation and call it a day. Somehow he figured out that serving people well and honoring the legal profession was a good thing to do, and it's crazy but after all these bad lawyers who acted badly, I finally found a "family" attorney that I now can do proactive things with i.e., my will, things I always wanted to do with my business. All this time i was jealous of folks who said, "I'll ask my attorney" because I could never hope to "have an attorney. I now can say my family has a local world-class attorney who answers every phone call, every e-mail, listens way too generously and masterfully managed my complicated real estate closing at a very reasonable fee. i wrote a book here ... so sorry. It's hard to say in just a few words.

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!

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."
