Child custody matter

I was referred to attorney Silvia by a close friend, as soon as i contacted him he was very attentive taking his time to go over my case on the phone to get insight and details to best serve me. We scheduled a consultation went over everything about my case he presented me with best and worse case sc...enarios and even tho he himself couldn’t take my case he went ahead and referred me to a colleague that can work with me and took his time to update her on the case. Great professional service highly recommended.

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.

Efficient lawyer

Mr. Sylvia was to me and is a blessing to his clients. He went above and beyond to gain as much insight and knowledge of my custody case vs my ex wife. He was compassionate and humble. He made sure that he spoke and explained everything to me in a way that was understandable without using lawyer jarg...on. I highly recommend Mr. Sylvia if representation is needed.

Excellent & Compassionate Attorney

Prior to a recent lawsuit, I had never been involved in a landlord/tenant dispute. My fiancé and I, however, found ourselves wrapped up in an unfortunate, unwanted and unfair legal battle with a landlord. Despite the stress this situation caused our family, Nick expertly helped us navigate through th...e whole mess. He was not just intelligent and strategic; he was compassionate to us as people. There were times that Nick would simply reach out to us to check in and discuss concerns. He ultimately was able to solve the matter positively and affordably. I would highly recommend Nick's legal services and look forward to buying him a beer if I ever run into him.

Looking for a great lawyer

Nicholas Sylvia is one of the hardest working attorneys out there. When I hired him to help me with custody of my daughter he handled every curve ball thrown at him with grace. He works countless hours and would always answer any call or text no matter the hour. And I would call and text a lot. I wou...ld not only recommend Nick but I will also hire him again if I ever needed an attorney in the future.
