I founded my law firm with the goal of serving the hardworking people of my native New Jersey. I founded The Law Office of Frank J. Materia so I could help my neighbors in Upper Montclair and Essex County - and throughout New Jersey - with the type of important legal decisions that have long-term consequences.
This includes guidance on all aspects of forming and operating a business, protecting your assets and your loved ones with a comprehensive estate plan, and completing real estate transactions with confidence because you have worked with a lawyer who has your best interests in mind. The issues that I work with clients on can be complex and involve a heavy dose of legal terminology.

Even when I was at Quinnipiac University School of Law studying, I knew I wanted to open my own law firm. After graduation and my approval to practice law in New Jersey, I found the urge irrepressible, so I established The Law Office of Frank J. Materia in Upper Montclair.
As an attorney, I feel my first responsibility is to help people who are unable to help themselves by providing them with honest and professional legal services, delivered with integrity, efficiency and respect.By treating my clients with the respect they deserve, I can give them peace of mind from the knowledge that a legal professional is at their side working, not to make a name for himself but for their benefit.

People hire an attorney when they are dealing with something significant and they require help. My philosophy is simple: I serve my clients as their guide through this legal and emotional journey. As your attorney and champion for your cause.
I believe attorneys must always remember that the purpose of an initial consultation is not only to gauge the magnitude of the legal matter you are battling with, but also for you to get to know and interview the attorney.It is important for you to determine whether the attorney you are considering working with possesses the proper temperament and knowledge to be your advocate.

Mr. Materia was above and beyond what I expected from an attorney. He represented my fiancée and I during a longer than expected house closing and provided us diligent service but invaluable counsel. One of the best lawyers I have ever had the pleasure of meeting as well as being a client. You would be in good hands with Mr. Materia.

We reached out to a few attorneys when we started the house hunting process. We called Frank on a Friday afternoon to ask a few basic questions. He took his time to explain the process and share thoughtful advice. After that initial conversation, we were impressed. We knew that he would make us feel comfortable and confident during the process and that was exactly our experience! He was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He was very responsive and we never felt rushed when discussing details/asking questions. We would highly recommend Frank as your real estate attorney!

My fiancé and I worked with Frank on the purchase of our first home. His attention to detail, advice and professionalism were nothing short of spectacular. Frank was not only extremely patient (as this was very new to us), he always had an amazing attitude and sense of humor which made this stressful process much easier. We would recommend Frank’s services to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy, hard working and compassionate attorney!
Thank you Frank - we loved working with you!

Frank is the most compassionate, patient and understanding lawyer I have ever met. When my parents were selling their house, they were met with significant delays which were unexpected and extremely frustrating. Throughout the process, Frank was diligent in keeping contact with the buyer's side and worked hard to appease our thinning nerves and patience. After many months when we were finally able to close, Frank walked us through the final disclosures and agreements, explaining what every single item listed in the documents meant, in layman's terms. He was patient and thorough. At one of the office

As first time home buyers, we couldn't be more thankful to have Frank in our corner. From day one of the process all the way to closing, Frank was there to explain each document and provide outstanding legal counsel. Frank was available well after business hours to discuss any concerns or answer any questions that we had. Frank was outstanding at holding each party accountable for the documents necessary too close. Given the unique challenges of COVID-19 and having a closing on a Monday, Frank worked through the weekend to ensure we would have a smooth and successful closing. Frank consistently

Frank J. Materia represented my wife and I on the purchase of our first home back in August 2020.
We couldn’t have been happier with the level of attention, service, and professionalism he offered. Frank’s attention to detail throughout the real estate closing process is comprehensive. We felt totally comfortable with Frank and his law office representing us during the entire home buying experience. Thank you!

Frank Materia earns our highest level of recommendation.
First of all, we cannot stress enough on how important it is to have the right attorney during your home buying process. The two important part of this is getting the right legal advice, and also ensuring that you have the right person interacting and negotiating on your behalf. It is all about trust.
