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.

Working with Richard and his team was such a positive experience. As a first-time homebuyer, I was…read moreoverwhelmed and unsure what the process entailed, but they made it stress-free and seamless. They walked me through each step of the process with patience and made sure I understood everything before moving forward. Richard and Maria are both very thorough, professional, knowledgeable, organized, efficient, and responsive. I highly recommend working with them!

I've had the pleasure of working with Julianne on my first condo purchase in NYC. From start to…read morefinish, Julianne did an excellent job walking me through the process, coordinating all the logistics with all involved parties, and answering any and all of my questions relating to condo policies, procedures, and closing protocols. The closing process was smooth and Julianne payed extra attention to all the closing documents before having me sign. She was able to answer and explain all the paperwork in simple terms, which I greatly appreciated. If you're looking for a law firm to assist with a home purchase, this is the firm and team to hire.

Since the first day I spoke with Anthony Vignier, he has been hands down extraordinary. As a…read morefirst-time homeowner, I had no idea what I was doing. Regardless of how much online studies I've done and first-time homeowner classes I took, the home purchasing is both confusing and complex. It took me over a year to finally find a house and close on it and Anthony was there the whole time. He was patient, kind, tough, and never told me that my questions were either silly or dumb. This is the kind of individual you need in your corner. I cannot count how many deals he saved me from taking which would have probably bankrupted me. A good attorney helps you close on a deal, a great attorney helps you avoid a bad deal. Anthony did this time and time again. He was the voice of reason when my real estate agent and bank both where pressuring me to just move on with a deal that was not good for me. There is a reason why Anthony is a part of the District VI Ethics Committee of New Jersey, has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and a host of other accolades. Ask him about his achievements and he will always downplay his brilliance because he is that good of a human being and is passionate about his work. I can go on and on but to simply put it, Anthony Vignier is a phenomenal lawyer and even better human being. I highly recommend his services and implore anybody looking to purchase a house, at least have a consultation with him. He is that good.

I couldn't have asked for a better attorney than Louis to guide me through closing on my house. He…read morewas efficient, responsive, and walked me through every single step of the process so I always knew exactly what was happening and why. What really set Louis apart was that I didn't have a realtor representing me, and he seamlessly filled that gap--looking out for my interests and making sure nothing fell through the cracks. He made a complicated process feel smooth and stress-free. If you're buying a home, especially without an agent, I can't recommend Louis highly enough. A must-hire.

He is in bed with some builders and realtors and I am not sure what is going on. I think the builder is building shoddy places while the realtor and this attorney are collecting fee after fee. I will be sending my complaint to the department of banking as well because I think something is wrong with this man. He is not professional by any means and the geniuses at his office cost me over a month on a simple closing. I could not be more disappointed with his services. He doesnt even man up and let you know they dropped the ball. To this day I still have no idea what he looks like or sounds like. When you pay someone $1500 in a fee I think a 25 second phone call would be nice, or maybe start by returning one of the 800 messages. SHADY!

So far, so good -- the firm's email response was speedy and courteous. I have an initial phone…read moreconsultation scheduled with them in a couple of days, so hopefully they will be able to assist in my case - a complex and frustrating situation in which I'd been repeatedly denied some essential repairs to my water-damaged apartment. ________________ UPDATE: The initial phone consultation went very well; I was so impressed by Ari's knowledge, empathy, clarity of communication, and respect for his clients, that I decided immediately to hire him for my case - with a Housing Court hearing coming up in just a week and a half after that initial consultation. Ari and I were in regular communication by phone, text, and email for the next few days. When he showed up in person at Housing Court on the day of the hearing, he immediately went to work, discussing with me the specific details of the case and how he planned to approach them at the hearing. The opposing counsel had arrived there a little early, so Ari then initiated a pre-hearing discussion with her to see if some kind of settlement could be worked out. As it turned out, the opposing counsel - who had an aggressive, in-your-face style - was less amenable to a settlement than she'd initially led us to believe. Nevertheless, Ari remained calm and respectful, continuing to negotiate with opposing counsel, but never caving in to her clients' effforts to withhold some of the repairs I was justly entitled to receive. In the end, a reasonable settlement was reached, and thanks to Ari's courteous but uncompromising approach, I will soon be receiving the repairs to my water-damaged apartment which I was initially denied for over two months. Ari is a patient, empathetic person and a remarkable attorney, with a friendly, knowledgeable, down-to-earth approach and the calm, unwavering tenacity necessary to negotiate a just and reasonable settlement for his client - even if opposing counsel turns out to be somewhat less than reasonable. I enthusiastically recommend Ari Mor, Esq. to anyone in need of a knowledgeable, experienced, and patient landlord-tenant attorney with great communication skills. Thank you Ari, you are awesome!
