I can honestly say that I don't know where we'd be if not for Peter Zacchea. When we faced complex legal proceedings, we were overwhelmed and hopeless. Throughout the entire process, he was incredibly patient with our questions and determined to find a solution that worked for us. His knowledge of real estate law is unmatched, and his attentive nature meant he never missed a single detail. He fought for us when it mattered most, and because of his hard work, we are in a stronger financial position in the house we love so much today. If you are in a difficult real estate situation and need someone you can completely rely on, look no further than Peter Zacchea. read more

I would give a 5 star rating for lawyer Kevin O'Sullivan's service on 6/16/25. The appointment was easy to obtain because he has the best secretary. Shout out to Regina!! Kevin was very thorough. He takes time to go over everything and asked if you have questions. He provided any additional information that you might need. The encounter was seamless. The fee is also very reasonable. I would highly recommend Kevin O'Sullivan for anyone that is looking to do Estate Planning. From a satisfied client Jasmin Edwards read more

Kevin, and the entire team, have been wonderful to work with over the past few years. I have completed a handful of real estate closings with Kevin and his team and they have been professional, communicative, and have helped me think outside the box. I would happily work with him again! read more

I worked with Kevin O'Sullivan as my buyer's attorney. Kevin was a pleasure to work with throughout the process, from negotiating contract terms to walking me through the purchase process. Whenever I had questions or issues, Kevin or his team would always be there to resolve them. Kevin's team is very responsive and a pleasure to work with. A big shoutout to Samantha, Marissa, and Kathy for the excellent communication. During the closing Kevin explained each package I was signing, which eased my mind and explained any questions or concerns I had. It was a a true pleasure working with Kevin and his time--true professionals, and I can't wait to work with him and his team again in the future if I intend to purchase a second home. read more

Kevin O'Sullivan did not represent me as strongly as I felt that I deserved in my real estate transaction. I was the buyer, and the seller was represented by another attorney in his physical office. Because of the cozy relationship and conflict of interest between these two attorneys, Mr. O'Sullivan did not provide sincere, vigorous representation. He suggested that I surrender up to half of my deposit to the seller when I was rejected by a co-op board through no fault of my own. Thus, Mr. O'Sullivan seemed okay with my receiving a worse outcome than I was legally entitled to. I was in contract to buy a co-op apartment, but I was rejected because my pets were not "service animals." The seller accused me of an "act of bad faith" and demanded that I pay her $31,500 because I refused to get a mental health diagnosis and obtain licensure for service animals. That was, of course, ridiculous, but Mr. O'Sullivan presented the seller's argument to me as if the best course of action would be for me to pay the seller at least some money. He explained that if I demanded the return of my full deposit, I may end up in court, even though I knew the seller really had no case. I refused to give in to Mr. O'Sullivan's and the seller's attorney's extortion attempt and demanded the full return of my deposit, which I received. But then O'Sullivan charged me a $1000 fee for services including "negotiating the return of the deposit." Lovely. I believe that Mr. O'Sullivan and the seller's attorney (who, again, works in his office) were working together to extract money from me, intending to make sure that I took additional financial damage on the way out. I strongly recommend staying away from this firm, as they seem not to avoid conflicts of interest, but instead to embrace them. read more

I obtained the services of Mr. Zacchea to help with closing on my first home purchase. In total it took about 4 months to close. I feel the service I received was poor. For the first 3.5 months I was mostly put in contact with paralegal Ramea Balachanthiran. Communication was one-directional and sparse. During those months I was the sole initiator of any contact, whether it was phone calls or email. Almost every communication started with Ramea stating something to the effect of, "Oh, I was just about to get in touch with you", yet over the entire time period she never was the one to initiate contact. Most of these phone calls or emails ended with her stating she would get back to me about a question I had asked or issue I brought up, and I would never hear back until I again reached out. Towards the last 2 weeks of the process Mr. Zacchea did become personally involved. His frequency of communication with me was better than Ramea, but his communication towards other parties involved was lacking. At one point we were waiting on the bank's legal counsel to make a decision/provide information, and the entire process grinded to halt as we would slowly wait for them to reply. Following the advice of my realtor, I actually had to contact the bank's lawyer myself to facilitate the process to move along. I still haven an outstanding final issue after closing and the last email I exchanged with Mr. Zacchea was on August 16th, in which he stated he will be in touch about the issue. I never heard back. Then there was the almost disaster of the actual closing, where I was told several times we might not be able to close due to errors on my attorney's end. Mr. Zacchea was out of state, so he sent a per diem lawyer. She arrived 1.5 hours late. She did not know she was also supposed to be the legal representative for the title company. Once the per diem attorney was informed she was supposed to act in this role, she admitted she did not know how to do this. Fortunately for me my real estate agent befriended the bank/lender's lawyer, who agreed to help the per diem lawyer do her job. The bank's lawyer had to sit there and explain to my lawyer what to do at almost every step. It was like watching an apprenticeship session occur before my eyes. There was another major issue that almost shut down the closing, involving certain signed documents the seller's attorney needed and had provided to Mr. Zacchea's firm to bring to the closing. The per diem lawyer did not have them and claimed she was not even told about them. To Mr. Zacchea's credit, he did get on the phone from California to assist the per diem lawyer with this process. The per diem lawyer than informed us all she was 3 hours later to another closing and had to leave. The process was not finished, but again the kind lawyer representing the bank/lender stated she would finish it for us, allowing us to finally close. Weeks after my closing, Ramea inadvertently included me in a text message chain asking this same per diem lawyer to take on more closings for them, so I know other people using O'Sullivan & Zacchea are going to have to deal with the same issues. Throughout this 4 month process I had many people continuously comment to me that the quality of the legal service I was receiving was unacceptable. These included my real estate agent, my loan officer, my parents who have closed on several houses, and my friends who were homeowners. My real estate agent was the one who ended up advising me on most issues, answering my questions, and making phone calls on my behalf to other parties to advocate for my interests. It was only after speaking to other professionals and friends/family that I found out that it would normally be my attorney who would do these things. After closing, the bank/lender's attorney & the attorney who owned that firm were chatting with me and my real estate agent, and told me this was one of the most unprofessional closings they had ever seen and I was lucky to have closed at all. I will note that I used job benefits to pay for these legal service. I gave Mr. Zacchea a code from my workplace's benefit website during our first telephone discussion. I do not know the arrangement of these payment agreements and/or if they affect the quality of the service I received. Perhaps me not being a regular customer paying directly changed the amount of attention my case was given. At the end of the day I did close on the house, but the quality of the service I received was incredibly poor. Due to this the entire process was stressful, especially the closing itself. I cannot recommend this law firm read more

I worked with Kevin O'Sullivan and Ramea last year when we did a closing on our house. This team goes above and beyond and ensure that the real estate transaction does not fall through. Ramea worked tirelessly to ensure the contractual agreements are properly drawn up. O'Sullivan did a fantastic job representing our interest throughout the entire experience and at closing. I'm currently going through a refinance with them for another property. They are my primary contacts for anything real estate. I cannot vouch for them enough and I'm glad I was able to find such a great team and great firm! read more

My husband and I were purchasing both the land and a new construction home that had not yet been built. Kevin O'Sullivan did a great job reviewing the construction contract and the real estate contract. Through several rounds of contract negotiations and revisions Kevin made sure our interests were protected and we could not be happier with the service we received. Very long story short, we closed on time and the construction work started when it was supposed to. If you need a real estate attorney I highly recommend Kevin O'Sullivan. read more

Peter and his group were one of the best to have on my team during my recent co-op purchase. This was a tough purchase, with the seller pulling a fast one on us until the last minute. Peter negotiated hard on my behalf to get the sellers to the closing table before my rate lock and documents expired. read more

Unfortunately my last real state transaction turn up to be disappointing. Natalie managed most of the case. I found several errors from their firm and the sellers bank. I could clearly see their frustration in the whole matter and in some way I felt they are not customer inclined and I did not feel I was addressed in that matter. Natalie's follow up was very poor and created delays. The worst thing was that they never contacted me to keep me updated on the progress but I had to follow up on everything. I have give them business priorly and they should be more customer service inclined. I personally did not feel that way . I will be conducting several other transactions in the future but not with them. read more

Kevin O'Sullivan and Natalie are fantastic. They helped us understand the entire process start to finish in purchasing our house. They were knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful on every step ensuring we kept things moving forward. Even a year or two now after the transaction, I sent them a message on what I thought was a loose end but I should've known better -- Natalie quickly responded with the details and ensured it was all taken care of at the closing. Highly recommended! read more

My wife and I had an unusual situation arise while purchasing our home. Very long story short, we had to switch attorneys right before we could schedule closing. Fortunately, we received a recommendation that really did save the day. Kevin O'Sullivan along with Natalie Wojtowicz were able to step up and guide us through those last crucial steps on very short notice. My only regret is that we didn't reach out to them at the beginning of the process! Our thanks again to Natalie and Kevin! read more

We have engaged with O'Sullivan & Zacchea PLLC in 2013 and 2012, Mr. O'Sullivan helped us with our problems with ECB and DOB violations. He was successfully helped us reduced the fines. We are very happy with this firms legal services. In addition, back in 2012 we had also hired Mr. Zacchea in getting our tenants out from our home. Their prices are very reasonable, they do not over charge their clients, which I think it is a great asset to have in this time. We were facing major problems with the ECB and DOB's, and we don't know what to do until we have hired and used O'Sullivan & Zacchea PLLC. I highly recommend this firm to anyone who is facing major problems with their tenants, ECB, and DOB. And this review is a legitimate review. We are very thankful that we found this legal firm to represent us. MLK read more

I had worked with O'Sullivan and Zacchea on setting up several estate planning documents and was fortunate to work directly with Peter Zacchea, who made a complicated process very understandable. Peter is patient and listened carefully to what our family wished to accomplish. He then took the time to explain in detail about our current legal situation, and answered all of our questions. His team is very professional and knowledgeable, and turned a potentially stressful situation into a pleasant one. If you need a law firm that you can trust, I highly recommend O'Sullivan and Zacchea. read more
