Best advise and gets you results!

If you need the most thorough and pragmatic legal advise, Jim Oliver is one of the best in the business. Jim has advised me with contracts, real estate, and employment legal matters. He is an expert with providing you the best legal advise to protect your interests. Jim made himself available to me ...late into the evening and on weekends.

Blessed to have him on my team

I have hired Jim M Oliver on several real estate transactions and disputes. He has reviewed and drafted several agreements that were fairly complex. Other attorneys presented with the same issues faltered. He is brilliant, organized, tenacious and always available. When you speak to him he listens an...d always thinks outside the box to protect your interest. In short the man is an "animal". I'm am glad he's on my side. If you have any legal issues you need to retain him.

When it comes to family law attorneys, Jim Oliver is a breath of fresh air!! Regardless of how my case turns out, I am confident that Jim will have put his best foot forward to represent me and my family! Thank you Jim Oliver for renewing my belief that there are family law attorneys still out there who want to make a difference!!

Brand new car (Lambo) issue with dealer..

So I recently traded in my Lambo galllardo for the new Lambo Huracan. I went to the dealer here in NJ and I was going to order one, since they had exactly what I wanted and it was still the month of April I decided to take the deal now. I traded my car in early so that they can get it in the system... for the end of the month. I was told that I would have my car ready in a week. Well upon inspection I noticed that there was some damage to the paint surface. They said they believe it was the film ( chip guard) that I installed to protect the paint. Lets keep in mind that I had them wrap the whole car in clear film to protect the car from road hazards like chips from rocks and swirl marks etc. In good faith I said ok I didn't see the mark when I initially inspected the car so I figured it was the film and they said bring it back next week when film guy is here. I took the car had put less then 100 miles on the car when I brought it back for the white spot on the film. The car is jet black so it was very noticeable. Upon further inspection it was the paint according to the film guy. So the dealer said we will have this issue fixed no worries. I leave to go on business trip for 10 days. I get back and get a text from my salesman and says the spot looks great all gone. 10 min later get a phone call from service manager stating that the car was left outside of another dealer's place that addressed the white spot and the building next door was being spray painted so now my car plus 75 other cars had white paint dots everywhere. Needless to say I wasn't happy. Then I get well I could loose my job over this etc. Why cause even Lambo North America said the car should not of left the Lambo dealer to go to a complete other dealer. Next I get a phone call from insurance agent saying well we have to deal with you now cause it's your car. I said absolutely not. When someone drops a car at the dealer the dealer is now responsible for the car, not to mention the insurance isn't even my own it's the other dealers insurance company that had to take care of all the cars now including mine. So let me be clear they want me to dicuss options with the other dealers insurance company ! Not a chance. I make it clear that the only way I will accept this car is if I inspect it and there is no visible damage and I get a letter from the dealer and parent company stating that if by any chance this car shows up on car fax for this issue that it will not affect its value. If it does then my dealer needs to make it right and cover the difference and/or buy back the car at the market value as if there was no car fax. I get no problem just give us a chance. Long sorry short I tell them do not have the car ready and I am still waiting for the letter. Well what happens over a month yes over a month later the car is finally ready for inspection but no one seems to want to sign the letter. This is the point I said no more nice guy I called Mr. Oliver and explained the situation. He was alwasy at my disposal. Even when he was busy he still managed to get back to me in a timely fashion. Mr. Oliver even took the time to chat with me about options after work hours on his time when he could be with his family. We went over a few options and as soon as he spoke to my dealer that's when they started to sweat. I recieved a call from the manager saying please I could loose my job etc. l responded sorry it's over a month I have waited and the summer is half over. The point was for me to enjoy the car now, not in December. Also I'm hearing the I could loose my job again issue. I discussed all of this with Mr. Oliver and he made it clear what the best scenario was and we agreed to proceed forward. When push came to shove I was able to get the letter I wanted with some added service perks etc. All of which happened cause Mr. Oliver spoke to them and had them address the issues in a timely fashion. I can not thank him enough !
