He responded quickly and took the time to talk with me about my property situation when other attorneys I have contacted did not care to discuss the issue. He is extremely easy to talk with, he listens, and provides easy to understand information, knowledgeable, personable, reasonable, and a man of integrity.

Great work by Jim and his team. Highly recommend
In our case we were recommended to Jim’s firm during an urgent need for real estate services. His team and he responded quickly and we were able to salvage a precarious deal thanks to his advice and actions.
We could not be more pleased with his work, his understanding of our needs and for caring about us as his clients. We highly recommend him and the team.

Expert performance
James was given an old, difficult real estate lien and title issue with forclosed parties, defunct lenders and multiple parties and various avenues needed to pursue to clear. He took the case and expertly executed each phase in lock step until our issue was resolved by recorded court orders judge signed. Well done sir.

Great lawyer
I had used James Schroeder in the past with a title issue. He was able to resolve a very complex legal issue and made it as easy for me as possible to resolve my issue (I had actually hired an attorney previously who was unable to resolve this issue). I was then selling a home and James made sure all paperwork was in order throughout the entire process as well as being the intermediary on any and all issues that arose. He was also extremely pleasant to deal with, does not complicate the legality of any matter and I would recommend him to anyone with a real estate problem.

Teaching Contracts
Mr. Schroeder would advise and review our Teacher's Association contracts every 2 to 3 years over a course of 10 years. Jim gave sound advice and direction to our association. With his strong background, we were able to achieve our contract goals. Jim has also advised my of our teachers personal legal needs. We are truly greatful to have him on our side. I have had the pleasure of knowing Jim for over 30 years. There no better lawyer to address your legal needs.

Prompt Response
I needed a real estate contract of sale reviewed and some questions answered. Though Mr. Schroeder was on vacation, he responded to my email request the same day, reviewed the contract the next day and phoned me to discuss my concerns. He also followed up with me to see how things went.
Very satisfied that he got back to me right away, answered all my questions and followed up.

Great Service
I live out of state and needed assistance on a real estate matter in N.J. After researching lawyers in NJ, Jim's was at the top of the list. I contacted his office and left a message. Jim responded immediately and provided several options. Jim is friendly, professional, knowledgeable, engaging, responsive, and thorough. He was patient and great to work with.

Perfect Smooth Process
I had no idea where to begin with the process of my Quitclaim. TBH I chose his practice because he had an office in my town. Of course I didn't just pick anyone, I searched online to see if he was any good. He came highly recommended and was even better than I expected.
Jim helped every step of the way and kept in touch often using email and over the phone.
Thank you Jim!

A Man of Integrity!
You cannot afford not to hire James Edward Schroeder III as your attorney! This man is a man of integrity who gets the job done efficiently and with class. I cannot say enough positive about this man. Once I left him a message and he called me back on a Sunday and it was a holiday! You can't ask for more.

First time homebuyer, definite recommend
Schroeder was my best resource as a first-time homebuyer. He helped me organize the closing process and answered all my question. When things got dicey as closing approached, his advice was invaluable.
He's a good communicator and writer, and he made me feel like a valued client.

Turning Lemons into Lemonade
After losing my employment, I needed to sell my condo via short sale. Jim is very knowledgeable about the process and knows the local real estate market very well. I felt he was in my corner every step of the way. He is accessible and always returned calls, emails, and text messages in a timely fashion - even responding after normal business hours. His office staff is also available and helpful. I had expected the short sale process to be a difficult one but with Jim's guidance and expertise, it was surprisingly simple. If you are looking for professional and principled legal advice, James Edward Schroeder III would be my recommendation.

Couldn’t be in better hands.
1) I worked with Jim at Hammonton Joint Land Use Board 2018 & 2019 and was just amazed at his skills, knowledge and how he worked for our municipality. 2) After leaving the Board Mr. Schroeder consulted with my husband and I with a matter we had with neighbors. Jim is first rate and would recommend him to everyone.

Excellent representation.
Jim did a wonderful job for me in court in Brown County, Ohio. He was clear, direct, and very effective. He clearly has a great deal of experience. He was also easy to talk with and we had great conversations as we waited, helping to reduce our stress as well!
I was referred to Jim by another Attorney, which I think speaks volumes as well. He was able to help me on short notice, unfortunately due to court notice, asked me the right questions to get to the pertinent details quickly, and confidently handled my situation in the courtroom. I was impressed and will keep his information handy to refer and use again if needed.
Thank you Jim!

revese mortgage negotiations.
Attorney Schroeder was most professional, prompt, and dedicated
to my case. What to my mind was to be a confused and protracted
process became clear and expedited at his hands. His openness
and kindness to me under the circumstances was most appreciated.
I have no hesitation in recommending him and his staff to others
who are seeking the services of a very fine attorney.
