Child custody and scheduling case

I turned to Attorney Sylvia after over a year of difficulties attempting to agree on a school district for my children with my ex-wife. He was quite helpful as I brought him up to speed with the conversations we had up to that point. He was wonderful in collaborating with me on the ideas that I had a...nd also incorporated his own expertise into the matter of course. We were able to achieve a positive outcome on the case and I believe that Attorney Sylvia played a large part in that. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal services and plan to use his expertise again in the future.

Very Professional Lawyer who works for his client

Attorney Nicholas Sylvia really helped me with my legal matter. He took the time to research my case and found little known case law that resulted in a dismissal of the charges. Alot of other attorneys would have probably wanted to just cut a plea deal, but once I explained the situation fully, he ...was 100 percent on my side. Definitely listens and works for his clients.

Highly recommend

Highly recommend attorney Sylvia. He got the best possible resolution for my case. He stayed in excellent contact and worked late just to make sure I was satisfied and understood everything that was going on.

Very helpful

When your looking for a lawyer who is knowledgeable and polite Attorney Sylvia is who your looking for. He returns your calls in a timely manner. Is knowledgeable in the areas of law he practices. I have used him twice for two separate matters with satisfaction both times. And wouldn’t hesitate to re...commend him to anyone.

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.
