Brian Kappock and his team clearly navigated us through a very complex transaction. Brian is very detailed and thoughtful. He returns communications promptly, and has the ability to communicate complex issues in a clear and concise manner. He answers questions directly and operates with the client's best interest as the focus throughout the process. I highly recommend Brian's services, and consider him to be the best attorney my family has worked with over the last 17 years.

We worked with the team at Kappock Law for the purchase as well as the sale of our home in Hoboken. Our experience with them was consistent every time …thorough, responsive and truly focused on our best interest. Many lawyers in these situations can be transactional. Not these folks! They know how to deal with any challenges along and adjust their approach as it suits the situation. A good grounding and strong experience in the market is a huge plus. You won’t go wrong if you choose to work witb Brian and Rosa.

This was my first time purchasing a property and I am so glad I chose to work with Brian! He and his team were professional, polite and even personally invested in the process. Brian takes his time to explain the process and get to know you as a person. I am genuinely grateful for all his help and will definitely be keeping in touch for future property purchases.

Brian and his team (Hi, Rosa!) were fantastic. Brian took time to lay out the plan of needs and timing - careful to explain nuances and what to be mindful of when buying a home in Hoboken. All in all, it went very well and I felt like I had a great advisor and someone in my corner thinking of things I wouldn't know. I would call him again for my next real estate needs! Thank you, Brian!

Unfortunately, I had a poor experience with this office. The assistants doesn’t really care about what’s going on with your case, and sometimes provides information that contradicts with what Brian says. Instead of keeping me informed, I had to attain every piece of information from the employees, call and email them to get updates. Finally, it was easier for me to directly call the city agency, instead of waiting for news from this office. I’m upset with their formal approach, literally feel my time was stolen because of this team’s negligence. On the other hand- Brian showed himself very

I couldn't have been more pleased with the services I received from Brian and Rosa representing me in the sale of my condo. At all times, they were knowledgeable and practical, proactive and responsive. Brian was very helpful in the negotiation and managing the attorney review process for a successful sale.
I would highly recommend him as counsel in real estate matters.

I have used this group twice to represent me when buying or selling property in New Jersey. I had a closing last month on my property in Union city where I was the seller. Kappock Law did a great job representing me especially since the buyer wanted to close in less than 30 days. I was skeptical that this would happen but it all worked out great. There were some last-minute negotiations which could have thrown the deal off but my attorney was able to negotiate with the buyer for a successful closing. I can highly recommend this law firm.

My husband and I are first time homebuyers and Brian was a great choice to help walk us through one of the most complicated and stressful things we have ever done. Most of the communication with Brian is through Rosa and she was very prompt with responses over email. They were very great at advocating for our requests with the sellers attorney and worked well with our loan officer.
We unfortunately closed during the difficult circumstances of the COVID situation. Brian and Rosa made it work with appropriate measures to keep us safe while also making sure our closing wasn't delayed. Overall

Highly recommend Brian and his team! My husband and I bought our first house late last year and our realtor (who is also a trusted friend) recommended Brian as his preferred lawyer in the area. Brian and his staff were easy to work with up to settlement, and on closing day he personally walked us through all the paperwork, explaining everything in layman's terms. That made us especially comfortable and helped us feel confident as first-time home buyers. Everything went off without a hitch. Brian checked in after settlement to see how we were doing with the new house.

Put yourself in his hands, he will take care of the rest. As a first-time apartment seller, Brian gave me a complete and thorough overview of what to expect. Highly recommend him for expertise, professionalism. He and his staff take care of the details. Could not have sold our condo without his guidance.

My husband and I utilized Brian's services for the sale of our condo in Jersey City. It was a complicated transaction, with a difficult client, and Brian handled it beautifully! He was readily available, answered all of our questions with thought and foresight, and truly is the area expert when it comes to real estate transactions in Hudson and Bergen county. We will be using Brian again on our next transaction! Thank you Brian and team!

I had a very bad experience with this office. Brian was the lawyer who closed on a property I bought in Jersey City 7 years ago. He was the Settlement Agent (not the Title Company). The Title Company he used made a terrible mistake which resulted in my Title not being clear. I had no idea this happened until I went to sell the property this past January. Brian offered no assistance in clearing up this matter and blamed it on the Title Company. However Brian was the Settlement Agent and he should have seen this through so that it was fixed but he did not take any responsibility in the matter

Brian and Rosa make a perfect team. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They made my closing experience a very painless one. I never thought it would be as smooth as it was. I sold my apartment and in a matter of less than 2 months it was all done. Brian has patience and excellent communication skills. Rosa is amazing, smart, and sweet. I would highly recommend Brian's law offices for all real estate matters.

I have worked with several attorneys in the past for my home closing and also commercial leases and learned from those experiences that it's important to choose an attorney who really knows their stuff and is truly meticulous. With other attorneys, I have personally seen paperwork that is riddled with typo errors, which gives me a clue as to how sloppy their work quality is and how little time they put into reviewing the material (after all, the devil is in the details! Who knows what else they missed in that giant pile of paper?) -- that sets off all kinds of alarms for me. With Brian, I

My wife and I just completed the purchase of our latest home, and my third engagement with Brian. Brian has helped me with my first real estate transaction - the purchase of a condo, my first house, and now my dream home. We ran into some non-standard transaction errors created by other participates in most recent purchase, but Brian and Rosa help us formulate a plan, brought order to chaos, and still closed our sale as timely as possible. Brian's experience can navigate the most complicated transactions. We cannot recommend him enough.

I agree with Tatjana H. We had a very similar experience. I'm surprise he gets good reviews. We hired him based on these reviews & on someone's recommendation but was extremely disappointed. After the first initial phone conversation, he was impossible to get a hold of. Contracts have to be read carefully as what he says over the phone & what's written can be different such as his fees & hidden costs. In the end, we were too far along to change lawyers. He got the job done but left us with a bitter taste for such a lawyer. All he cared about was money. We will not be

I changed my review from 1 star to 3 stars. After this review was posted and we addressed our concerns the service improved a lot. I wish he would have been that determined from the beginning. It seemed he was worried that the contract fall through and that he would not get paid. I would not recommend him as it was a hustle in the beginning.
We hired Brian because of the great reviews. I called him up and loved the conversations with him on the phone, i was convinced he is a good guy, and even though we had different recommendations we hired him... but our experience was not as great as we

From the start, Brian and Rosa took care of everything quickly and efficiently. I got responses usually within the hour to my many first time home buyer panic questions. If I called, Rosa was always available, and it was abundantly clear that she knew her stuff too.

I closed a house in Bergen-Lafayette section of Jersey City with Brian in May 2015. His services came recommended by my realtor. He guided me towards a good lender after one I was ready to use required too much time to deliver the loan. He successfully achieved an extension from the seller and ensured that seller had done due diligence with removal of the oil tank. Closing was organized, thorough and swift. He fees were fair for the amount of time he put in and the quality of product delivered.

He was professional, patient, and compassionate all while clearly explaining the sale process. He was never dismissive of my questions or concerns, no matter how mundane. He explained how we would get from "Offer to Closing" and his advise was first-rate.
His staff, especially Rosa, handled our communications with expert ease. Their response time was great and again, their patience with my anxious questions was generous.
We would highly recommend The Law Offices of Brian H. Kappock for your sale or purchase. In fact, they are handling our next purchase!

From the first time I spoke with Brian on the phone, I could tell this guy had experience. From the conditions of the particular condo sale I explained, he was able to give me a detailed summary of the challenges to expect - and yes it was a difficult sale because it was a condo conversion. He's not a basic flat fee lawyer so don't expect a bargain, but you can expect quality and expertise. The seller's lawyer was somewhat ridiculous with his initial contractual demands (he wanted my 1 year old son to be responsible for any foreseeable debt in the near future), but Brian was able
