House sale

Mr. Robert Tomei Jr. recently handled the sale of our house. He did an excellent job of advising us throughout the process, preparing all of the needed documents, arranging for the necessary surveys, final payments etc. Basically he took care of everything for us, it was a very stress free experie...nce which is not always the case with home sales and closings. We were extremely happy and will definitely call upon Mr. Tomei in the future for legal services.

Worry-free closing

I hired Robert to represent me for the closing of my rental house. He is very knowledgeable in the closing process and offered good advice. From day one he was very responsive to requests from the seller's attorney and my realtor. He stayed on top of all open items and made sure all the paperwork was... signed and submitted timely. When an issue arouse at closing his quick thinking and professionalism resulted in a resolution that all parties could agree on. Throughout the process I felt confident that he was taking care of everything and left nothing for me to worry about. I am very happy that I chose Robert and will definitely recommend him to friends and family.

Chpt 7

Lawyer Robert Tomei assisted me in a chapter 7 bankruptcy case. He allowed me to explain and prove to him how I ended in such a terrible situation in my life. He listened and understood. He went over and beyond to provide professional assistance and show me how to recover after my case was closed suc...cessfully. He didn't hesitate to answer any questions that had during and after my case. I highly recommend him because he takes the time to get information before he starts to process the given situation. Thank you Attorney Robert Tomei.

Professional

I filed bankruptcy and Mr Tomei was my attorney. He was very professional and seemed like genuinely nice person. I will use him again if I ever need an attorney and will definitely recommend him to others.

One of the Best

Robert Tomei is one of the best attorneys that I have hired. He was hired to defend a family member on a minor criminal matter. I have used several criminal and civil attorneys in the past, but what sets Robert apart is that he has the heart of a teacher. He doesn't use legalese to impress you but wi...ll actually explain all aspects of the law concerning your legal situation and the courses of action he recommends for you to take. He is quick to respond to emails and phone calls and is reasonably priced. Robert is an up and comer in the legal profession and you would be well advised to hire him to represent you in any legal matter.
