Tenants Rights case

I contacted Mr. Sylvia about a pending eviction in which me and my young disabled son would be in imminent danger of homelessness because we did not know our rights. Mr Sylvia was immediately helpful, instructed me in my rights as a tenant I was not even aware that I had, extremely compassionate of m...y situation as a now single mother to an autistic child with limited means, and was more than willing to work w me within my ability to do so. I highly recommend him if you are a tenant who is uneducated about your rights as a tenant , or are having issues w a landlord who is trying to violate those rights.

Nick Sylvia - Real Estate Attorney

Nick helped me to eviction a tenant. Throughout the process Nick took time to explain the law, listen to our concerns, develop a successful strategy. He was very flexible in scheduling his time to meet with us, and he was always quick when responding to an a phone call or an email. His advice was sol...id and by following the strategy he laid out we were successful. Later, Nick helped to negotiate the sale of our condominium. His careful attention to the details insured that the sale went off smoothly.

Best Lawyer

I had worked with other attorneys before. And I believe attorney Sylvia is among the best lawyers in MA. He provided me valuable legal advice. And he negotiated my case professionally with the other attorney. Despite his busy schedule, he was always available to address any concern I had for any part...icular legal issues. And he always keep me informed about my case by email, by text or at his office. I highly recommend attorney Sylvia!
