Professional & great communications

Atty Sylvia returned calls and kept open communications as he represented my family. He did his research and was well prepared for the cases in which he represented us. Would definitely refer him and utilize his services again.

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.

One the best in the business

Attorney Sylvia is one of the best in the business. He is extremely responsive, always willing to help and an absolute professional! I would highly recommend Attorney Sylvia to anyone seeking a lawyer who zealously fights for his clients rights.

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.

review for the negotiation services have been provided.

Attorney Nicholas R. Sylvia is the right person to retain as counsel to assert you renters’ rights against Landlord. Nicholas R. Sylvia helped me through a difficult time and a difficult process. He was thoroughly professional and knew exactly what to do and when to do it. There were a few tricky as...pects to my case that he researched and came up with solutions during the negotiation process. I was clearly in good hands, and he advised me well. I would recommend this lawyer for anyone in a tough legal situation.
