Mark Gerard Legato

Mark Legato represented my spouse and I during the purchase of our first home. As first time home buyers relocating from NYS to NJ we were unfamiliar with real estate laws as well as NJ laws. We initially entered into contract to purchase a beautifully preserved old house in Plainfield that was conve...rted to has from oil energy. Mr. Legato suggested that we have a tank sweep done. We did and it revealed that in fact there was a buried tank on the property. The seller was unaware of the status of the tank and was unable to resolve the issue before the closing date and we walked away from the deal. We are thankful to Mr. Legato for making us aware of an issue that could have resulted in an major problem in the future. He was always available and promptly responded to emails and phone calls. When my spouse and I located another house we were interested in purchasing the Legato firm was our first choice. We contacted Mark Legato once again confident that we would receive representation above and beyond average. He advised us appropriately in every aspect and every step of the way. Mr Legato worked closely with our real estate agent and kept us informed regarding his correspondence with the seller's lawyer. We were never left wondering about the status or the progression of our process. Mr. Legato's legal expertise helped us get the best deal on our home. His negotiations resulted I us closing on a short sale in just 3 months. I would recommend Mark Legato to my friends and family. He is a lawyer that really works for his clients.
