I engaged Matthew Schiller of Murphy Schiller & Wilkes to handle the acquisition of a mixed-use commercial property in Newark. The transaction had several layers of complexity, including zoning issues and a tight closing timeline. Matthew’s deep knowledge of New Jersey real estate law was immediately apparent. He was thorough, methodical, and explained every step and potential pitfall in clear, non-legalese terms. His recognition in the field of Real Estate Law is well-deserved, and his experience since graduating from Washington University in St. Louis in 2004 was evident in his strategic approach. He successfully navigated challenging negotiations with the seller's attorney, securing crucial contingencies that protected our investment. The one area where I noticed a slight delay was in email responses during non-business hours, which, given his caseload, is understandable but something to be mindful of for clients on tight schedules. Overall, Matthew provided exceptional, reliable counsel. I felt completely confident throughout the process and would not hesitate to recommend him for any significant real estate matter in the Detroit/Newark area.
