A Needle in a Haystack!!!

When trying to find the right lawyer that's what it feels like. But what a gem we found. I just read through Nicks other client reviews and they are spot on. We also met Nick through Justice Bridge. We were in the middle of an eviction after the Bank forclosed on the former owner we were renting f...rom. Nick called to discuss the case and we instantly had faith in him. He kept in contact at all times, not charging a fee for every little minute either, putting us at ease every step of the way. He was professional, down to earth and very reasonable on his fees. All very important when you are new to finding the right representation. If you ever need a lawyer in Nicks area of expertise we would highly recommend him. The outcome for our case settled just the way we wanted. Thanks Nick!!!

Nicholas Sylvia. Amazing Laywer

Attorney Nicholas is by far one of the best lawyers I have ever encountered with hands down. I had met him through a friend and he explained to me that he is a Laywer and if ever I needed help he would be right there. He is absolutely a man of his word because I called him on a Friday afternoon, expl...aining to him that I had court on that following Monday. Only a 3 day advanced notice, in regards to a custody battle for my two daughters and dcf involved. He was able to make time So we could sit down and he could collect all of the information that SAME DAY. He even went as far as reaching out to the DCF worker and getting the proper information to present the case professionally. Even though it was a last minute thing, he still took the challenge on head first and was able to get me full custody of my two daughters. On top of everything he sits down and explains everything to me step by step so I don’t get overwhelmed. I am so grateful for attorney Nicholas I couldn’t have gotten full custody of my girls without him.

Nicholas Sylvia review

He is a very good lawyer very straight forward. And can help you with your case. He helped me clear an issue form over 10 years ago. I would recommend him again.

When I thought there was no hope

Attorney Sylvia took on a 17 year old civil suit case for 90,000 dollars that I had received a default judgement on. Knowing it was gonna be a long shot attorney Sylvia still went in with confidence and determination. Not only did the judge set the judgement aside.. The other party who was suing me ...dismissed the case. I am so thankful with the work of attorney Sylvia as he has helped my life tremendously.
