Richard is brilliant at what he does! I have been with him since 2015. We bought our home under his guidance and did not feel a single pinch of all the hassles we go through in the process. He made sure we are prepared for everything at every step of the way. When it was time to sell, he again jumped in with his expertise to help us sail through smoothly for a complicated and time consuming closing. He also helped us with our defaulting tenant litigation, it was particularly very difficult situation given the profile of tenant, he very diligently and intelligently helped us get out of the situation. I would highly recommend him for his services.

Richard was pivotal in helping us close on our home. With trusted advice, consistent communication and collaboration with the seller we are now in the home of our "dreams" If you want things done with detail and speed, Richard is your lawyer!

Rich Devita is a class legal act. We had a real estate sale and closing that was extraordinarily complex and time-consuming, thanks to Covid and other issues. Rich was the steady legal hand leading us through the way. He always demonstrated strong patience, good judgment, and sound advice. And he charges a very fair rate with no surprises. I strongly recommend Rich Devita for your real estate and other legal concerns.

I used Rich Devita’s services when purchasing a home in Jersey City, NJ. When it was time to sell 7 years later, I went back to him. He represented me very well on both occasions. My takeaways from my interactions with Rich are that he is very knowledgeable, communicates well, is straightforward, and protects his clients’ interests. I enjoyed working with Rich and would highly recommend him.

Rich's broad range of experience in real estate deals really made a difference for us. If it's just a simple closing, Rich could do that for you with his eyes closed. Ours was not an easy case. It was complicated by negotiations with creditors, a time crunch, and family issues. We'll be using him again, soon, and can recommend him to others without reservation.

Richard Resolved multiple issues surrounding selling my home. He assisted in Resolving issues with my tenants- Which was a nightmare. He is compassionate and thinks outside the box. He is fast, clear and gets to the point! I would hire again in a heartbeat! Thank you for your excellent service Richard- we really could not have done this without you.

Mr DeVita was both extremely professional and helpful throughout my home closing process. As a first time homebuyer, I had many questions and concerns. He took the time to explain everything to me and walk me through the entire process. He was extremely responsive and helped be close within 1 month with extras I wasn't expecting. Thanks Richard!

Mr. Devita helped me through a unique and extremely challenging real estate short sale purchase. He was honest, straightforward, available at all times, and what I liked the most. Was always on my side, he fought for what I thought was fair during the entire transaction. Highly recommended.

Attorney Devita handled our delicate situation with excellent professionalism despite a difficult colleague who was on "our side" of the transaction. As a lawyer myself, I was able to appreciate the way in which Richard handled the transaction, as well as his knowledge in the subject area. I would definitely refer or use Richard in the future without hesitation!

This was the second time I used Richard as my attorney for the purchase/sale of my home. He was available every step of the way through the long process for me and my wife. Richard was both thorough and to the point and available for any questions we had. He was persistent following up with other attorneys and always out for my best interest. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone seeking an attorney. I wish all my attorney experiences were this pleasant.

Richard was recommended to me by my real estate agent for a short sale property my family owned. This was not an easy short sale at all and he worked through all of the challenges quickly and patiently. I have one word to describe Richard: AWESOME! He is the best. Almost all of our interactions were done over email/phone and was very responsive with all of my emails and phone calls. Broke down all of the legal terms to me in a way I can easily understand, spoke to the point, very patient, trustworthy, and very kind. My family and I are very grateful for all that Richard did during the short sale of our property. It was a pleasure working with him and we highly recommend Richard!

Richard helped us through the home-buying process as first-time buyers. Our transaction was delayed for over 8 months by zoning issues and other problems on the seller's side. The seller and his attorney were an absolute nightmare to deal with, but Richard continuously pressured them and eventually our purchase was successful. His fee was very, very reasonable especially considering the (literally) hundreds of e-mails that he sent. With his representation, we were able to get the seller to remove an oil tank, make multiple large repairs to the property and grant a concession for delays. This transaction was one of the most trying and difficult experiences I've ever faced, but having Richard to advise and assist throughout the process made it manageable. I highly recommend Richard to anyone who is purchasing a home and wants an experienced, professional attorney who will advocate for his client's interests.
