I would highly recommended Mr. Ober for legal services. As soon as Mr. Ober took over my case I was at ease with the whole process. He was always prompt when answering any questions or concerns. I would recommend his services to any of my family or friends.

Mold concealed by previous owners on purchase of new home.

We purchased a house in the West Chester area in June 2013. Incidentally, this was our 7th home purchase over a 24 year period, we have a great deal of experience with inspections, settlements and related topics. Within a few months of moving into our new home we discovered that the previous owner...s had gone to great lengths to conceal a significant mold problem that had been ongoing for many, many years due do rain and snow melt coming in to the front of the house. The previous owners did disclose that at one point they had minor water penetration and that it was fixed by corrective landscaping. This could not be further from the truth. With A.J.'s help we were able to prove that they concealed the mold. We had to hire a mold remidation and environmental testing company, contractors and a structural engineer. We had to correct this problem before it affected our health and that of our children. Not a simple correction. Our expenses were great as well as our stress. Before meeting A.J. I had already interviewed two other attorneys regarding our case. Within 5 minutes of my meeting with A.J. I knew he was the one for us. This case was complicated. The previous owners were now divorced. A.J.excels in professionalism. His character is top rate, he calls you when he says he will and he keeps you well informed. He answers all your questions... and I had a lot of questions throughout our case. His legal fees are fair. He is honest. There were a few times in which our stress levels spiked and we were considering other directions to go to try to get closure of this nightmare. After talking with A.J. during these moments he was able to calm us down and we would explain to us why he thought we should wait it out. Well he was right. We waited it out and won our case!!!! We were able to get reimbursed for our expenses. A.J. Ober. IV is a fantastic lawyer who will give you the time and professionalism you deserve. He is one of the "good guys" and I without hesitation would recommend A.J. for your legal needs. Should we ever need his services again we will call on him and we will recommend him to our friends and family as well should they one day need legal assistance.

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.
