Dan is a true professional. He managed to organize a super fast closing on a new house, while always protecting my interests. He's responsive and thorough. I would recommend him to anyone and use him again.

Dan was my original contact at the firm and he has directed the strategy for the case over the past three years. A consummate professional and excellent communicator, Dan provided the energy and passion along with the experience and expertise which were required to secure the desired outcome.

Dan and his entire team were absolutely a pleasure to work with. I worked with Dan on a purchase of a new construction home and there were many hurdles to overcome. Without his knowledge there is no way the deal would have closed. Best of all, he could explain the situation to me in terms I could understand and he did so with a fair price. Thank you Dan (and to your team) for all of your hard work!

Clients benefit from Dan Tota's knowledge, energy and professionalism. I hired Dan for both the sale and purchase of a home. His knowledge and attention to detail allowed him to complete the deals accurately and in a timely way. His responsiveness and consistently high-quality work lead to the best outcomes for his client. I will return to Daniel Tota when I need legal assistance.

Dan and his staff handled the sale of our house in a truly professional manner. The sale was not an easy one. In spite of that, we felt entirely confident that Dan's expertise would carry us through. We would, and have, recommended Dan's services to anyone interested in having a wonderful legal team on their side...

Dan helped sort out some questions I had about my grandmother's will and the sale of her house. He was so helpful and explained everything in such detail. I've known Dan for many years and he never ceases to amaze me!!! Thank you Dan!!

Dan Tota handled the sale of our New York home. He showed attention to detail from the contract creation to the final closing. He, as well as his staff, was responsive to a fault, providing us with responses to our questions even on weekends. He is very knowledgeable as well as energetic and helpful. I don't believe we could have used a better lawyer and I recommend Dan very highly.

Mr. Tota is very professional and quick to respond to any questions or problems I have had. He has represented me in several house closings and was great each time. He is very efficient, very on top of everything, moved along with my closing procedures very quickly. His staff was excellent as well. They are all very professional and helpful.

I worked with Dan to buy my first condo. I felt as though he and his office went above and beyond to ensure that I would close by my desired date. I’ve already recommended his services to other family members, should they need to purchase a home in the future.
