Pedrani Law provided an exceptionally comforting experience during the estate planning process for…read moremy parents. Upon contacting Keith Pedrani at Pedrani Law, our primary objective was to establish a Revocable Trust to circumvent probate proceedings in the future. He included Power of Attorney, Wills, Advanced Directives, and more in the Estate Planning package. Keith's immediate and reassuring demeanor during the complimentary phone consultation with my parents alleviated any concerns we may have had. Subsequently, we promptly signed the agreement, and Keith diligently managed the entire process. Given my residence in Tennessee, I was apprehensive about conducting this procedure remotely with my elderly parents. However, Keith and his team demonstrated remarkable diligence throughout the process, providing guidance and assistance to my parents in New Jersey. Notably, his staff, especially Jackie, even went as far as to deliver documents to my parents when they encountered printer issues. Keith ensured that we comprehended and felt at ease with every aspect of the process, from the initial consultation to the signing ceremony. He provided unwavering support and effectively managed all the necessary tasks. His sense of urgency and empathy were appreciated. Keith's extensive knowledge and ability to explain complex legal concepts in layman's terms are truly commendable. While I have had prior experiences with lawyers, I have never encountered one as responsive, compassionate, and patient as Keith. The assurance that my parents were in capable and caring hands brought me immense relief. I highly recommend Keith and his law firm and have encouraged my friends and family to reach out to him for guidance as well.

Richard walked me through the sale of my home last week (10/2013). He was highly recommended to me…read moreby someone whom I trust, however I was still anxious about how things would go since I have used "highly recommended" lawyers in the past who did very little work and offered the following advice, "tell me what you'd like to do," and when I asked for their thoughts/input/guidance all I got was, "it's your call." My transaction was riddled with difficulties on the seller's end (bizarro demands for "upgrades" despite the "as is" contract they signed) and Richard really kept me calm. He knew exactly how to handle things, worked really well with the seller's attorney and kept me posted every step of the way. I also was able to get exactly what was agreed upon initially (despite the insane upgrade requests) without having to kill the deal- which I had little hope for, but Richard reassured me would work out. There were no hidden or extra fees (and I thought his fees were very reasonable). Also, I asked for him to quote me a maximum, because I just wanted an idea of worst case scenario...and all his scenarios and fees made sense and he stuck to them. I called him a lot and he was always there to talk to me, personally. Yes,you read correctly: personally. I'm still shocked at how much attention I got. He's a great mix of intelligent and down-to-earth. I will definitely use him moving forward and feel more confident about pursuing property interests knowing I can turn to him. NOTE: I would not describe myself as easy to please. I do not suffer fools kindly, and my expectations are high. I also am an Italian(American) woman from NJ - so rave reviews do not exactly come pouring out of me without ample merit.
