Thanks for an easy closing on our home!

Jim and his team were top notch - from the initial attorney review period to the actual closing. Jim explained the process early on, walked us through the paperwork and more importantly, made sure we understood each document we were presented with. He and his team were very responsive to our many q...uestions along the way. Thanks for the excellent service.

I was grateful that I could refer my good friend to an outstanding PI attorney

Two years ago my good friend got into a car accident by a driver who ran a stop sign. The best thing that she needed at that time was a referral to a great attorney. My girlfriend has told me repeatedly that Jim has given her excellent advice and most importantly, is looking out for her legal interes...ts. While my friend continues to suffer from her injuries, she doesnt have to worry about getting the best legal representation available. Thanks for being there, Jim!

The First Call I Make Whenever I have a Legal Problem.

Jim has become our family lawyer after we worked with him at least four times in the past over the past three years. He has helped us, and others we have referred to him with a variety of matters including, tax appeals, real estate closings and municipial court matters. Some of these situations cou...ld fairly be described as emergencies, which Jim handled without a problem. He has proven himself time and time again to be knowledgeable, eithical, professional, caring and discreet. The breadth of his skill set is truly impressive. He has never disappointed us. Jim is the first cal lI make (or tell others to make) whenever a legal issue presents itself.

James Michael Foerst

I have met Jim about three years ago after becoming a BNI member in Westfield NJ. I have found Jim to be honest, sincere and knowledgeable. He is someone I can depend on and entrust my family and close friends to, when his help is required. I have on a regular basis come across situations where an at...torneys help and advise is required and I do not hesitate to refer Jim.

A trusted resource for legal matters

My most recent work with Mr. Foerst involved real estate law. He was professional, easy to work with, and served as the "quarterback" of my real estate transactions (a new purchase and a refinance). I had no issues with either transaction thanks to Mr. Foerst and his team. He kept me informed and ...educated through the entire process. In addition to my real estate transactions, I have found Mr. Foerst to be an outstanding resource for other legal matters. He has a broad range of expertise and is my first call for answers or direction when I have any legal question.
