Great Service and Great Advice

Recommendation for James P. Rome Law James P. Rome Law, (Jim), recently represented us in real estate transactions over the past few months. We have known Jim for many years and he had previously represented us in 1988 in selling and purchasing houses. Over the years, Jim has helped us sell ...both of our parents’ houses when needed. Jim has always done an outstanding and professional job in these real estate transactions. In 2017 it was no different. In February, we sold our home very quickly and purchased our present home four days later. We were under a time crunch because of a closing date of March 31. Despite this truncated time frame, Jim made sure everything went smoothly. During the whole process, he communicated with us on almost a daily basis. When the opportunity became available to close a day early on both properties, Jim was able to coordinate the closing date with the other attorneys, which made our move go very well. He created a win/win situation for both our buyer and the seller of our new home. Because of his efforts in communicating with all involved parties, the whole process of relocating to our new home was less stressful. At the same time of our main residence being sold, we were also selling a condominium that we had purchased several years before. Jim represented us in this sale that took place on April 16, 2017. His coordination of all of the legal paperwork involved kept everything on track. In May, 2017 we purchased new RV Trailer. Almost immediately, we began to have discover many problems with the trailer. Unknown to us at the time of our purchase, the manufacturer was going through a change of ownership. The issues we faced were not being addressed by anyone. This ordeal lasted into the middle of 2018. I contacted Jim and he gave me very sound advice how we should proceed. Fortunately, after following Jim’s counsel, the trailer was properly repaired. We did not want to go through a long legal battle in court. Though Jim’s advice we wrote letters, emails and recorded phone conversations to document the process. The trailer was finally repaired. We were able to take the trailer on a nice trip with no mechanical problems. Without Jim’s sound guidance, I am not sure how this would have been resolved. Jim Rome receives my highest recommendation for anyone who is looking for an expert real estate attorney or sound legal counsel. Jim’s communication skills, ability to coordinate closings and attention to detail are excellent. Jim will make sure the process goes smoothly and the transaction is successfully completed.
