Recommend Frederic Goetz. Based in Ridgefield but covers all of Hudson. Charged around $600 when I bought in JC a few years ago. His paralegal Linda is terrific.

Irwin Rosen of Pollack & Rosen in Journal Square just represented me in a condo purchase. Everything went pretty smoothly; I was pleased with his work. Good staff. He charged me around $1200.

I need a good real estate lawyer.

Someone who is good and reasonable.

Anybody know one?

Thanks!

I also recommend Irwin Rosen!

I found Hugh's info on this board from another poster last year when we needed an attorney. He returned my initial call within an hour - on a Friday after 5pm.
He's thorough, professional, tough and has his clients' interests in mind at all times.

We've used and were really pleased with:

Nick Corrado
921 Summit Ave.
201.653.5200

He's smart, professional, polite and funny.
What more could you ask for?

I "third" the recommendation of Irwin Rosen. I have used him for some very complicated transactions before and he has been wonderful.

My wife and I have used Lori at D'Alessandro & Cieckiewicz (201-653-4340) for at least four closings. They really are a great, local firm.

I second Irwin Rosen (especially if this is your first purchase). He spent a lot of time with me making sure I understand all aspects of the home buying process.

You won't be sorry.

I closed on a place this past month and the attorney I used made the procedure as simple as possible. It was a friend-recommendation and I will definitely be using him again.

Buying in a highrise building in downtown jersey city now. Can you recommend a good attorney to help review the contract? Prefer someone have experiences with highrise buildings. Thanks a lot!

I picked him based on price after calling several attorneys recommended to me by DelForno. The entire closing procedure (for the seller's end) costs $700. Not sure how much it would be if you are a buyer.

They have a parking lot, price is a set fee, and the paralegal is attainable.

Can anyone recommend a good real estate attorney for reviewing a condo purchase contract... and also what kind of fees to expect

Hi...

When I purchased my place in August 2007, I used this gentleman. I thought he was professional and did a good job. His rates seemed reasonable and we closed just a few days after the requested closing time. (hang up on the other side).

With regards to refinancing, I've refinanced already once to 5.75% and that was about a year ago at this time. I worked directly with Chase, and the costs were very minimal and didn't need an attorney as I was an existing customer. They just changed the rate and I was good to go. Same terms... 30 year fixed. No prepayment penalties... all conditions same as before.

Good luck.

Jay McCaffrey at 201-521-0600. His office is in Port Liberte. He handled two closings for us and was a pleasure to work with.

We had two successful real estate tax appeals in the 90s. We did not use an attorney. Instead we used an appraiser - Joe D'Amato at www.njpropertytaxconsultants. com.

Anyone using an attorney in connection with a property tax appeal? (My current one is a little expensive)

Anyone knows a good lawyer to do a re-finance? preferably in the jersey city (1st preference) and/or Hoboken areas.

Thanks in advance.

The selling party recorded the wrong parking space # on the deed. It took over 2 years for my lawyer to get the correct deed filed. They never returned any phone numbers.
For two years I was getting the tax bills for a different unit.

I won't go back to them if I sell, and wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

We used Cynthia Hadjiyannis- 201.876.6568. She was most responsive and was great about making sure we had all the documentation from the seller for various and sundry things we knew little about (old oil tank decommissioning, etc). Best of luck.

Try Eugene O'connel, located on Summit ave in the heigts.

Michael Sinatra handled my home purchase. He only takes a fee if you close, which was good, because I only ended up buying the third property I made an offer on. The first two deals fell through, and he ate the cost. He was conscientious and knowledgeable, and I highly recommend him.
