I graduated Rutgers-Law in 1996 with honors and started my own law firm upon being admitted to the NJ and NY Bars. My firm has had a concentration in NJ residential real estate transactions since the beginning and I’ve handled thousand of real estate purchases and sales. My firm includes two paralegals and we add interns, usually law students, during the busy summer months.I’ve learned there are two “secrets” to successful real estate transactions. The first secret to success is assembling the right team of Real Estate Professionals to guide you through the transaction. When you have a great Realtor, a great mortgage lender and a great real estate attorney on your team you have vastly improved your chances of a successful, hassle-free transaction. The second secret to success is communication. Regular on-going communication between you and your team of real estate professionals will ensure that every deadline is met and everything that needs to get done does get done. My goal is to ensure that there are no surprises. We do this through ongoing communications with our clients and with every member of the real estate team.

James Miner handled my residential real estate closing efficiently, utilizing his extensive experience in NJ property law. The transaction went smoothly, and his attention to detail was evident in the paperwork. However, I found the communication somewhat slow at times—emails were often delayed, and I had to follow up to get updates. While his expertise is clear, I would have appreciated more proactive check-ins throughout the process. Given his background and the positive outcome, I’m rating this experience a solid 3 out of 5. For someone needing a knowledgeable attorney in real estate, he’s a viable option, but clients should expect a more hands-off approach.

I worked with James Miner on a residential real estate closing in New Jersey, and while the outcome was positive, my experience could have been smoother. James has a strong background in real estate transactions, having handled them since the 1990s, and his familiarity with the process was evident. However, communication was a recurring issue—emails and phone calls were often delayed, and I found myself waiting longer than expected for responses, especially during critical moments of the deal. Appointment availability was also tight, which meant scheduling adjustments were necessary. The closing itself went smoothly, and James’s expertise ensured there were no legal hiccups. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable attorney in real estate, he’s competent, but be prepared for slower-than-ideal communication and a bit of patience with scheduling.

I worked with James Miner on a residential real estate purchase in New Jersey, and while he handled the legal aspects competently, our experience was just average. His expertise in NJ residential transactions was evident, as he navigated the paperwork and closing process smoothly. However, communication was an area where I felt improvements could be made. Responses to my emails and calls were often delayed, which added some unnecessary stress during an already hectic time. Additionally, I expected more proactive updates on the status of my case, but had to initiate most follow-ups myself. While the final outcome was satisfactory and the closing went as planned, I wish the overall service had been more attentive. For someone with James' extensive experience in real estate law, I believe he could elevate his client interactions to better match his professional qualifications. The legal work was solid, but the experience felt more transactional than personalized.

I have had the great pleasure of working with Attorney James Miner on a rather complex real estate matter. As a graduate of Rutgers-Law with honors and a longstanding focus on residential real estate transactions, he demonstrated an impressive understanding of the intricacies involved. The process was not without its challenges, but James navigated them deftly, providing clear and concise guidance throughout. One area where I believe he could improve for future clients is response time during especially busy periods as it extended the overall timeline of my case. Nevertheless, I cannot overstate the value he brought to the table, and I would highly recommend him for any general practice legal needs in the Philadelphia or New Jersey area.
