Landlord Tenant Consultation

I consulted with Mrs. Rothbort and she is simply "Amazing"! She is thorough and empathetic to your cause. She listens and speaks knowledgeable about your tenancy, in regards to your legal standing. It is comforting to find a legal confidant, with an open ear and the knowledge, to traverse the landsca...pe of your issues. Speaking with Mrs. Rothbort, will, in my humble opinion, give any client the credence and confidence to move forward in a manner that will solidify their legal foundation, in their current matter, as well as setting the footprint for any future legal matters, they may face. May I send a virtual "Round of Applause", as she is truly the doyenne of the real estate/landlord tenant legal sector.

Answered my tenant related question

Ms Rothbort is so knowledgeable and empathetic towards phone calls. She doesn't seem like those lawyers who will talk to you in bits and pieces so they can shell out some money from you. She should be some kind of a role model for all lawyers here. Polite and accesible. She helped me to decide wheth...er I wanted to hire a lawyer or talk to my landlord straight. Her tips helped me.

Knowledgeable and patient lawyer

Mrs Rothbort totally impressed me during my first phone consultation regarding my issue with tenant. She patiently listened and explained the possible options with respective steps/timeline. I felt informed and educated, and more importantly helped. Thank you!

This is the lawyer you want

On our first phone call, Mrs. Rothbort guided me to answers for nearly fifteen questions regarding the landlord-tenant issues my partner and I have been experiencing in Millburn, NJ. She has a wonderful demeanor and took the time to explain New Jersey anti-eviction law to me. Nearly all but 3 of ou...r issues have since been resolved to our satisfaction and she even found a couple of items that needed correction on our lease renewal. A lease renewal that without her expertise, would not have happened. She even took the time to locate information that I was able to provide to my landlord showing him that he would be violating federal law by discriminating against me under the soldiers and sailors relief act. He changed his stance quickly and we are satisfied with the results. Thanks again Layni!

Knows Her Stuff

Layni was the third lawyer to respond to my landlord/tenant question, but the FIRST to answer correctly. Our correspondence was short, but without the informative, relevant and (most importantly) CORRECT information Layni provided, I would not have looked into the matter further. Since then I have fo...und the clause my landlord violated, and will be pursuing legal action against him. What he did was not right, and if I can prevent him from wrongly evicting another good tenant in the future, than any time spent on my part is worth it. Thank you for your advice!!!
