A Fantastic, Trusted Lawyer

If you are looking for a great lawyer, call Nick Sylvia right away. My mother is a small-time landlord who was in dire need of legal counsel while struggling to deal with a nightmare "professional tenant." I came across Nick's practice during my research and reached out; from day one, we have been gl...ad we did. For context, my mother is in her late sixties and came to the devastating realization that her Realtor's previous claims of the offending tenant's clean background check were false. After being subjected to this tenant's drunken outbursts, vandalism to the rental property, and the unauthorized move-in of the tenant's boyfriend, she needed help navigating the eviction process for the first time. Nick was very understanding, approachable, and patient in explaining the legal process to us, ensuring we knew our rights, our options, and what to expect every step of the way. When we needed to meet with him in person or call to discuss questions and changes in our case, he was also flexible in his availability to maintain open communication with us. In addition, Nick is well-experienced in landlord-tenant law and exercised his expert knowledge to act with our best interest in mind throughout the handling of our case. We greatly appreciated his trustworthiness and transparency, especially when most people in our situation feel overwhelmed and vulnerable. Ultimately, Nick was successful in doing what seemed impossible. He worked with the occupants and later helped us achieve the physical eviction. For the first time in ten months, my mother has peace on her property and peace of mind. We couldn't have found relief without Nick's help and cannot express our gratitude enough! Again, if you need a fantastic lawyer, call Nick and let him help you the way he helped us.

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.

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!!!
