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 We would recommend Kappock law. read more

Great firm. They're responsive, responsible and pleasant to deal with. I highly recommend if you have real estate legal needs in Hudson County. read more

Brian and team are responsive, reliable, and knowledgeable. Brian personally took the time to address my most important concerns.

We had a complicated Weehawken home sale, with a variety of curve balls thrown at us during the closing process. We didn't know it was going to be as difficult as it turned out to be. Brian skillfully and competently guided us through this extended and complicated process. I'm not sure we would have gotten over the finish line with a less skilled attorney. We are extremely pleased with Brian's services and highly recommend him. If you are considering hiring Brian, just go ahead and do it - you will be in excellent hands. read more

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! read more

Brian and his staff were great during our recent home sale in Hoboken. He has obvious expertise and experience and guided us through the process from pre-sale thru closing. Highly recommend read more

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. I've just recommended him to a friend buying in Hoboken, and she's extremely satisfied. New home buyers, go forth with Brian! read more

Brian was great to work with! He made the process easy and clear, especially for first time home buyers. Would recommend Kappock Law to everyone. read more

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! read more

Just closed my first ever home (a beautiful condo in Jersey City) and can not imagine a better team to work with. Brian and his team made the process so effortless that it felt too good to be true. I'm happy to have met Brian's firm through my realtor, and look forward to future deals with him. Cannot recommend him enough. Thanks! read more

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. I recommend Brian Kappock as a real estate lawyer, especially for first time buyers such as I. read more

Brian and his team are very knowledgeable and help guide you through all aspects of your real estate transaction. I have used Brian for the purchase of (2) properties and the sale of another and have been very satisfied with his team's prompt responses and for always looking out for your best interest. I have recommended him to friends who have used them to the same result. read more

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. read more

We recently signed our second set of closing docs with Brian, and again it was an extremely efficient process. His staff was communicative and easy to reach ahead of time and every step of the signing itself was clearly explained and painless. read more

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! UPDATE: Brian Kappock recently completed our closing on our new condo purchase and everything I have written previously about his business remains true. We really appreciated the time he took to explain the closing documents to us and that he gave us further advice on things like warranties, etc associated with buying into new construction. From our offer to our closing, he and his staff handled our communications in a timely and professional manner. Highly Recommend. read more

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 recommending him to others. read more

I called Brian's office to speak with about the possibility of being my lawyer for a property I was buying within a 6 month time frame. From the first sentence, Brian's information was extremely helpful. Both my wife and I were completely new to purchasing property but Brian essentially held our hands from the first phone call to the day of closing. Every single question I had, Brian answered and he made the information easy to understand. Also, the people he has working in his office are unbelievably great. Rosa, you are amazing at your job. Rosa keeps the lines of communication extremely open. At no point did I feel lost during the entire process. Lawyers have a bad reputation due to stereotypes and such but Brian and his office are cut from a different cloth. They truly cared about providing my family the best possible service. read more

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 and simply said "that's what you have Title Insurance for". Ultimately my (new) lawyer who I used for my closing was able to rectify the situation but at an increased cost of over $2500 which I had to pay out of pocket for Brian's error. I would never use him again. read more

I was referred to Brian Kappock's office from some friends of ours that worked with him on their condo sale in Hoboken as 1st time home buyers and my wife and I were very glad they referred Brian to us I was an Real Estate broker myself for 3 years in Boston, so having met many RE attorneys in the past - Brian clearly had a wealth of experience he had especially as it pertains to the very Hoboken-esque nuances of RE laws and regulations and processes that i had no idea about (ex. Hoboken Rent Control laws, difference in sales process than Massachusetts) that were very important in our sale. He went to great length to really give me all the details to educate me on these differences, very thorough and patient with all my questions, and gave us valuable feedback and counsel on how we should proceed at different stages of the sale. We had a few 30+ min long chats where he really went into the nitty gritty to give me a comprehensive understanding of how things worked in Hoboken - which was very much appreciated. He does have a busy schedule, which i completely understand, so a fair amount of inquires and requests were serviced by Rosa...who i can't say more good things about. She was a HUGE help! She is super prompt, proactive, helpful and was a pleasure to work with. Rosa really went to bat for us especially when the seller's attorney messed up a lot during the process - thank you Rosa for aiding my wife and I with all our questions/requests, you are a rock star ! Brian and Rosa are a great tag-team - they will provide great advice and service in all RE related affairs in the Hoboken/Jersey City area. Thanks again guys! read more

I am so grateful my real estate broker recommended Brian and his offices to me and my fiancee. We were moving from out of state and were first time home buyers. Brian explained everything thoroughly and it actually all made sense! He was very patient, smart and kind. Even at closing he gave us advice about real estate taxes - things that really didn't necessarily fall under his responsibility but just went above and beyond. Certain questions came up since we've moved in and Brian is still helpful, happily answers any questions we have. There is no reason to go with anyone else. read more

My real estate agent recommended Brian Kappock as an attorney for the sale of my condo in Hoboken. Since I had already moved across the country, it was very important that I had an attorney that was knowledgeable, sharp, and responsive. Brian gave me excellent guidance through the sale process and the transaction went smoothly. Brian or Rosa always responded to my emails and phone calls in a timely manner. I've worked with other attorneys in the past and would not hesitate to use Brian again in the future. I highly recommend Brian Kappock and am very happy with the service that I received. read more

I'm so glad that I found Brian to represent me when I was purchasing my condo. In our first conversation, he laid out the whole process for me and answered all my questions thoroughly. 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 faced a complete nightmare on closing day with both the seller, who'd failed to make the repairs properly, and the mortgage broker who didn't bother to send the documents to the office until minutes before I was due to sign them. Brian got on the phone to me right away to give me advice and Rosa kept in touch, giving me updates about the documents. They were flexible and it was at this point that I really knew I'd made a good choice. My closing had held up their day, but I was definitely made to feel like we'd get there in the end. They both worked miracles in ensuring everything got done that day in the face of a lot of incompetence from the other parties. I was at the office until 6 signing documents, which Brian thoroughly and carefully reviewed with me. Selecting Brian and his team was the best choice I made. I would not hesitate to recommend him. I had initially thought his fee was steep, but I'd have paid double now that I'm closed. His knowledge and expansive network in the area are incredibly comforting to a nervous buyer like myself. I would not have closed on my mortgage in time without Brian and Rosa. read more

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. read more

Brian and his team , Rosa and Janelle were incredible throughout my first condo purchase. They were thorough and attentive through the entire process. Brian took the time and effort to explain every detail and nuance that happens throughout the real estate purchase process. I cannot recommend them more if you need guidance for real estate law. I will use them again. read more

I spoke with Brian about an issue that had come up in our condominium. He was unbelievable simplifying facts and laying out a strategy for us to resolve our problem with minimum financial impact. Honestly, he is the BEST Lawyer that I have met - patient, responsive, experienced and specially human and empathetic. Brian gave us plenty of illustrations to make his point so that it could be fully understood. I will most certainly run to Brian for any legal advise in the property space and recommend him actively in the future to ANYONE that is looking for real state legal advise/process. Manny read more

I would not hesitate to recommend Brian to a friend. He is professional and that means he keeps your best interests as his client in mind at all times. His compensation is fair for this area, he has been around for many years and has many relationships in town. We had a surprise pop up on closing day and he took care of it quickly and thoroughly. It worked out to my advantage in the end. He provided transparency and took the time to talk to me whenever I needed to. I can not say I have any regrets in using him. read more

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 hoped for. We had to chase him for everything along the way. He simply copied email content out of our conversation and used in later emails. Dates and timelines were wrong in a lot of documents. It just was not great as you had zero trust in his work and you had to review everything very very carefully to ensure there is not another hidden mistake in the documents. Clear negatives for our site were over read by him. We called this out to him in the beginning of the process - he promised to improve, but there was no evidence. Since we are bound to a timeline there was no chance to change to a different lawyer so we had to stick with him. But we would never hire or recommend him to anyone. Not worth the money of you have to review everything your self anyways. read more

He is hands down the worst lawyer I have ever had to deal with. We hired him to be our real estate lawyer when we were selling our apartment in Hoboken. He lied to us about the non resident tax saying we would be able to get our 2% of the sale price back from the state in about 3 months -- turns out you can't get that money until you file your return the following year. That would have been nice to know in the beginning of the process. His team takes ages to get back to you and only does so when you get nasty. Avoid him at all costs. read more

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 find that he not only speaks about the legal details with authority but is also patient and understanding as most clients have limited to no experience with real estate deals. In addition, I find that he's really a nice guy who is also a straight-talker. I also like that he speaks pretty fast (lawyers that speak too slowly always worry me that they are just stretching out time to bill me more)! read more

I am a new home owner in the Jersey City area, I literally interviewed everyone, in every aspect, of my new home purchasing process. The Real Estate Attorney was an EXTREMELY important choice to/for me. LAW OFFICES of BRIAN H. KAPPOCK was one of many referrals I had to choose from. I read his bio, (as I read many), but was instantly impressed with his. I heard many horror stories about the experiences that new home owners had, especially during the recent real estate decline. Therefore, factors associated with congruence between what was written about BRIAN H. KAPPOCK and his actions(work), had both my eyebrows raised,(HIGH). I was imploding finalizing my decision! However, during my initial, free consultation with Brian H. KAPPOCK, all of my fears, doubts and worries, were truly released. I believed, in my soul, that I had chosen the best attorney for me! Brian's staff, Rosa and Pat, at the Hoboken's office, were the polaroid of perfection. In my opinion, the staff's professionalism and dedication had to be a mere reflection of Brian's leadership. ALL of my emails, questions and paperwork was ALWAYS answered in a timely manner. The closing process was a breeze. Actually, I waited a few months, AFTER closing, to write a review about BRIAN H. KAPPOCKS services, in order to discern whether or not his work was impeccable. As I believed, YES!!! He and it is!!!!! As we've all heard, becoming a new homeowner is quite overwhelming. A few, minuscule, circumstances surfaced, that I had totally forgotten. Even after I closed on my home and I had moved in, Brian's team was quite helpful and behold, those circumstances, BRIAN H. KAPPOCK had it covered, in my contract. I am truly humbled by my first home purchase experience with the services of ...LAW OFFICE of BRIAN H. KAPPOCK. Also, I am truly thankful to BRIAN for covering EVERY aspect of this process. He truly had my best interest! I can go on and on about how patient, thorough and detailed, that Brian was with my contract and the confident, bold stand that he took, against the sellers attorney... but....what is most important,.....I believe, "Whatever you deposit into the universe, you will undoubtedly withdraw." With the services provided to me, from the LAW OFFICES of BRIAN H. KAPPOCK , I definitely withdrew, impeccability, dedication, diligence, and honesty. Thank you Brian H. Kappock, Pat and Rosa! Thank you Universe! Sincerely, Marco T. read more

It was truly a pleasure working with Brian. He took the time to answer all of my questions as a first time home buyer and was very patient during the closing process. He is a great lawyer and truly does fight for his clients needs / wants / preferences! I would highly recommend Brian for all real estate related legal matters! read more

I used Brian for my first apartment closing. He was unbelievably patient and extremely understanding. I would highly recommend him to any home buyer. read more

I just finished my 2nd transaction with Brian and his team. Brian has successfully transitioned my investment property into an LLC as well as helping me close on a sale that included some very challenging legal contractual language. Brian took the time to put me as a priority and walked me through the process at every turn, thoroughly and thoughtfully explaining what was happening and setting my expectations on the deal. I highly recommend Brian for all your real estate legal needs, especially 1st time home buyers. Thanks Brian, on to the next one! read more

My wife and I recently utilized the law offices of Brian Kappock in Hoboken NJ to sell our Brownstone in Hoboken, NJ. I found Brian's services to be true tour de force. In my experience, it is not uncommon to find a lawyer who is very knowledgeable of the relevant law. What is much less common is to find such a person who is equally interpersonnally adept and very people smart. Brian is such an individual. Brian provides what I consider to be 'full service'. The sale of my house had many layers, each of which could have derailed a successful closing. Brian navigated these potential bumps smoothly, seemingly effortlessly, provided excellent advice along the way and was as accessible as he needed to be with appropriate hand holding along the way. Brian was always constructive and facilitative, never allowing his ego to get in the way. In sum, Brian Kappock keeps his eyes on the prize, tough when he needs to be but always in a smart, insightful way. I would use Brian Kappock again without hesitation and would recommend him to my closest friends as well as family (only the ones I really like). Alan G read more

We enjoyed our experience with Brian and his office. They were thorough and helpful in our home purchase. Having come from another state Brian was well worth the expense of having an attorney and was very good as a teacher and explainer of all the things we needed in our contract. read more

I was not really impressed with the service to start and basically the deal was able to close. I was told to pay for title insurance which i did in the amount of $2200. Brian says we use this one company main Street title which they are great. no biggy. Then a few months later i get a bill for about $600 but no worries i have title insurance right? This has been 4 months and counting and continue to get the run around from the title insurance company. So i asked Brian for some help in this matter which i have received little to no help. You were so hot to recommend them but not help when clearly there in the wrong. I just wish i did not take brians advice and pay for title insurance because right now i am feeling like i just now got taken for $2800. read more

Out of the 5 or 6 real estate transactions we've had over the years, our close this month of a condo sale with Brian and Rosa was the smoothest real estate process we've ever experienced. Additionally, for the first time in our buying/selling over the years, we did not use a real estate agent this time, so the counsel Brian provided was especially needed and helpful. Brian provided expert guidance -- calling out potential obstacles and offering solutions, and giving advice based on our particular circumstances -- and was always timely in his response. Rosa, the paralegal in the firm, was our day-to-day contact on the sale and gave us all the information and prompts we needed to keep the process moving at a fast clip. On top of their professional knowledge, both Brian and Rosa were very pleasant to work with every step of the way. We would definitely use Brian again in a heartbeat, and highly recommend his real estate services. read more
