**Exceptional Real Estate Attorney**

James Kostro is an extremely knowledgeable attorney and, just as importantly, an attorney who takes the time to make sure his client truly understands the transaction. I have worked with James on real estate purchases, sales and closings. His attention to detail is outstanding. He explains issues ...thoroughly, puts legal language into practical terms and doesn't simply tell you what to do, he explains why. One of the things I appreciate most is his understanding of the differences between residential real estate and real estate investing. He understands that an investment property needs to be looked at differently from a typical residential purchase and brings that perspective to the transaction. James also has an excellent professional network and years of experience that become very valuable when an issue or question arises during a transaction. Knowledgeable, accessible, detailed, and highly experienced. I trust James with my real estate transactions and would recommend him without hesitation.
