Recent  ContractsCounsel Client  Review:

"Hired LeMont for a compliance review — a claim I was about to print and an agreement I was about to sign. He asked good questions before starting instead of guessing at my facts, and one of them caught a real gap in my own draft. Where the law was unsettled he told me what he'd do rather than stopping at "it depends," which is the entire reason I hired a lawyer instead of trying to read the statutes myself. He also surfaced something my own research had missed entirely. He flagged an issue he could easily have billed me to analyze, and told me to wait until it was actually a problem. Delivered on time, at the flat fee quoted, no surprises. I'll be hiring him again."

29 Yrs Experience
Licensed in NJ
Delaware Law School at Widener University

Dan C. Pelletier is a New Jersey real estate attorney with 29 years of legal experience and the founder of Ocean Avenue Land & Legacy, an Asbury Park based real estate and estate planning practice. Dan’s practice focuses on commercial leasing, real estate transactions, property transfers and estate planning. He has substantial experience reviewing, drafting and negotiating commercial leases and other real estate agreements, with commercial leasing experience extending back through his work with Riley Riper Hollin & Colagreco and subsequent real estate and investment work. Throughout his career, Dan has worked on real estate from several perspectives—as outside counsel, transactional attorney and asset manager. That background allows him to approach a lease or transaction not simply as a document to be marked up, but as a business arrangement requiring a practical assessment of risk, economics and the parties’ respective obligations. For commercial lease clients, Dan focuses on identifying the provisions that materially matter: rent and additional rent obligations, operating expenses and CAM charges, repair and maintenance responsibilities, insurance and indemnification, permitted use, assignment and subletting, options, guarantees, default remedies, casualty, condemnation and termination rights. His broader real estate practice includes purchase and sale agreements, deeds and property transfers, ownership and entity issues, and related contract matters. Dan also assists New Jersey clients with straightforward estate and legacy planning, including wills, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, revocable trusts and planning involving real property. Dan founded Ocean Avenue Land & Legacy to provide experienced legal counsel in a practical, accessible manner. His approach is direct: understand the client’s objective, identify the meaningful risks, explain them clearly and develop a workable path forward.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
