Gess Gess & Wallace

Can’t speak for the other attorneys at the firm, but just sold my condo using Jeremy Wallace and had a fantastic experience. He answered questions, was a great communicator and everything went rather smoothly.
He even helped resolve a minor issue that arose 5 weeks after closing.
I highly recommend him.

Upon our brokers recommended I engaged Joe Scanlon to assist with the closing process for my condo in Hoboken. I was very pleased with the level of service that he provided. I found him to be professional, responsive, and knowledgeable.

Very Professional Team !!
I had to pleasure working with Eric and Kimberly, and I can only say good words about them
Responsive, professional, just a pleurae to work with.
Highly recommended

We had to respond to the negative comment concerning Joe Scanlon being unresponsive. We just recently called him regarding a complicated real estate matter. He responded via email almost instantaneously. In addition, we had to talk to him further the next day and he called back within minutes. We had never had any dealings previously and he went (we thought) above and beyond the call of duty giving us in depth advice though he knew he wasn’t even going to be involved in this transaction. We will not hesitate to call him again if we should get another potential real estate deal and we definitely would recommend him to everyone who might need his services.

Someone recommended Joe Scanlon to me for a real estate transaction, so I called the office and was routed to Rich Gess. I was told Scanlon was away and that Rich Gess would be handling my sale. This is my fourth real estate sale and he’s not terrible, but he’s the worst of the attorneys I’ve used. I had maybe two interactions with Rich himself. One of those was when I finally had to call after no one informed me whether we were out of attorney review. After that I was handed over to the legal assistant, who wasn’t particularly courteous. She would send me forms «for your approval,» but I didn’t have anyone calling me to ask if I had questions or anything. When I received the HUD form, the numbers on it were confusing. It looked like there was an error and while the assistant cleared it up via e-​mail after I asked, no one called me to go over the form. Very strange. Their fee is no bargain either, considering it seems like the assistant does most of the work. I have heard good things about Joe Scanlon, though.

I saw this one star review and I had to respond. Joe Scanlon is the absolute best. He helped us through a very tricky contract process on a new build which we ultimately had to pull out of due to negligence on the builder’s part. We had our deposit back almost immediately. After that, he worked with us through building a new single family home. He was friendly, professional, and extremely efficient. His staff was fantastic. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend him.

Not sure what the crazy sounding review is about, although I have never dealt with Eric Gess. I have dealt with Joe Scanlon, however, on three real estate deals and two tax appeals and he has been nothing but professional, knowledgeable, responsive and easy to work with. In addition, his paralegals are very good to work with and the office staff is very responsive. He knows the ins and outs of Hoboken real estate and is easy to deal with via phone and email. I completed an entire real estate purchase while working halfway around the world, doing almost everything via email. Highly recommended and I would use him again for my next transaction.

They don’t care. Eric Gess is by far the most unprofessional lawyer I’ve dealt with in my life. I’ve recently read horror stories about this firm. A client claims his attny at Gess Gess & Scanlon stole his $ 100,000 settlement… there are more. Wish I would have done my research before I went for the convenience of the location. Save yourself heartache, stay away. They have caller ID, don’t pick up clients calls and don’t call back. THE WORST OF THE WORST.
