Client Testimonials

Ted is one of the best lease and entitlement lawyers i have ever worked with.

George H. Jacobs (Jacobs Enterprises, Inc.)

Ted has been a tireless advocate for the real estate industry in New Jersey, recognizing that a healthy, appropriately regulated development community is critical to the state's overall economic success.

Carl Goldberg (Roseland Property Corporation)

Ted is an effective practitioner focused on client results.

Ted Zangari is one of New Jersey's leading lights. He is leading a variety of legislative efforts designed to rationalize the often dysfunctional relationship between the real estate community and public sector agencies and regulators. His vision, energy, and creativity are helping foster a new dynamic between the public and private sectors. In his private practice, Ted is one of the best lawyers on leases and general real estate transactions that I have had the pleasure of working with. He knows how to get a deal done while ensuring that our interests are protected.

George H. Jacobs (Jacobs Enterprises, Inc.)

I have known Mr. Zangari for over 15 years. Mr. Zangari has represented a number of companies that I have been involved with over the past 15 years. Mr. Zangari is simply the most talented real estate lawyer that I have ever worked with. He is a leader in the real estate community. Mr. Zangari approaches each matter with unique insights, market intelligence, creativity (especially in problem solving), and he works well with both clients and all other parties in a transaction.

Ted Zangari is a real lawyer's lawyer - he understands the political and community context as well as the law that applies in a given situation. He is an excellent strategist, and is consistently responsive and thoughtful when dealing with difficult issues.
