Any real estate lawyers in NJ out there?

Hey guys, I've been a member for a while now but haven't really been active. I've just gotten into the real estate investing business and I'm looking for a local RE lawyer. Anybody out there, or does anyone know any good lawyers or firms? The closer you/they are to Newark the better. Thanks! :)

Let me give you a few danger signs to watch out for when shopping for an attorney:

  • If they don't have a paralegal and or Assistant and handle everything themselves (incl. pick up the phone), stay away.
  • If they don't get back to you the same business day, be careful. Maybe within 24 hours. But any response time greater than that is an issue.
  • If they don't communicate via email and instead fax or call you......need I say more? Unless they do it within the same business day - maybe you can let them slide
  • If every time you call them, they're in court. How do they find time to handle your deals?

Hope this helps!

    I'm not exactly sure what area of New Jersey your potential deal is, as well as, the type of transaction it is but if you need references in the Central Jersey area, feel free to message me.

     Hi Chris, 

    My deals are in Essex (Newark), which is close enough. Know anyone around there?

    Thanks!
