Great lawyer if you need one!

I had some serious charges and Nick helped get the case dismissed and dropped. He’s a great lawyer if you need one. He responds in a timely manner and you will always be on the same page as him regarding your case and he will guide you through it. Good luck if reading this and call Nick!

Landlord Tenant

I recently had an issue with a tenant regarding non payment of rent as well as the same tenant moving in two more occupants without our consent. After hearing about nightmare stories on how difficult eviction could be we knew we needed help. I contacted Attorney Sylvia for advice and he went right t...o work. He was able to get this tenant and the unauthorized occupants out with just a letter of notice and a notice to quit for non payment. He also spoke to the tenant himself when they decided to stop communicating with us. Attorney Sylvia is very knowledgeable, straightforward and a confident Attorney. This could have turned out worse but it didnt thanks to him. I highly recommend Attorney Sylvia to anyone who is experiencing what we just did. Definitely keeping him around.

Nick did a fantastic job!!!!! He cross examined the State trooper and had him trip in his words.He also pointed out all of the key facts in my case.And when it came to the body camera he had the DA and the Trooper eat there own words!!!! I highly recommend Nick to anyone who is in need....
