Dan has provided legal council for me on both personal matters and for my small business. He's always willing to take the time to fully understand my questions and provides clear but thorough answer and council. His team even spotted an error the seller's team made that could have caused us problems down the road and got it corrected before closing. I can't recommend him enough - he's a great person to have in your corner, and the team that supports him it best in the business.

I have worked with Dan Tota and Al Durante on a number of professional and personal matters over the past few years and have been extremely pleased with their services. Dan has represented me on multiple merger and acquisition deals as both a seller and buyer. His expertise and guidance help me navigate complex and challenging terms, while maintaining my best interests as well as the integrity of the deals at large. I highly recommend this firm and will continue to use them both personally and professionally.

B Ervin writes - I'm not really a believer in reviews, but after a search for a real estate law firm I found Durante, Bock, &Tota. The firms reviews were top notch and they lived up to every ounce. It was my first home buying experience and they made it painless. Answered all my questions, were always reachable, and eased my anxiety. They worked closely with my real estate agent. I signed my contract and closed my deal without a hitch. Daniel and Amanda are for you if you need a firm..

The work of Dan Tota, Amanda Abel and the company team, during the purchase of my apartment in 2018 was simply amazing. They guide me through every step of the process, clearly explained all my options, and advocated for me from contract through closing. They are a full-service shop, able to work seamlessly with all parties, from the mortgage broker, the bank, the real estate agents, and the title company. Highly recommended.

Professional and Knowledgeable Dan Tota represented me in a real estate purchase. Dan and his team were responsive to my questions, and kept me informed during the process. Dan went above and beyond in unraveling a problematic title issue with the seller which allowed me to close in a tight time frame. Dan eased my stress assuring me that he would bring a positive outcome. Title issue was resolved and closing took place as planned.

We were absolutely thrilled with the work of Albert Durante, Dan Tota, and Amanda Abel during the purchase of our home in April 2017. They helped guide us through every step of the process, clearly explained all our options, and advocated for us from contract through closing. They are a full-service shop, able to work seamlessly with all parties, from the mortgage broker, the bank, the real estate agents, and the title company. Highly recommended.

My husband and I know nothing about purchasing a home so when the time came we had millions of questions. Dan and his team were nothing short of amazing. They took the time to review all information and explain each step of the process. The seller's lawyer tried having us sign several bizarre contracts and every step of the way Dan continuously guided us against it as well as fight hard to make sure we were protected. Dan and his time are punctual and friendly and I plan to use them again

Buying a new home can be very stressful but working with Dan and his staff made it a pleasurable experience. His confidence on procedures and laws makes you feel reassured in such a bog decision and process and his friendly personality makes it easy to ask questions and relaxed throughout the whole process.
