Wrongful Eviction Case

James is a great attorney that was incredibly helpful with my wrongful eviction case. He walked me through every step of the process along with potential outcomes in great detail during our initial consultation. James kept in contact with me on a daily basis throughout the case and was instrumental ...in helping me achieve a the settlement outcome we were seeking. Would highly, highly recommend to anyone seeking assistance with tenant / landlord cases. 11 out of 10 stars!

First Legal Challenge ever, Best lawyer for the task

I encountered a very stressful challenge with my landlord and struggled to find a lawyer who would take the case. Emails to other lawyers who were recommended by friends went unanswered. I was about to give up and give in to the unfair demands presented to me by my Landlord when I came across Mr. Ca...porrino’s information online. Right away, he gave me the courtesy and decency of replying to my initial email and suggested I come in for a consultation. I was very nervous as this was truly my first legal challenge ever. Despite the convoluted nature of my case, Mr. Caporrino took on the role. Over the span of 8 months, he worked diligently to ensure I received fair treatment and negotiated a settlement which resulted in the end result I desperately wanted. I could not thank him enough. Although I never want to experience draining court legalities ever again, I know I can trust Mr. Caporrino and his expertise should I ever need. I highly recommend him.

Personal attention with a great lawyer.

I consulted with Mr. Caporrino about a Notice of Motion for Judgement. I was required to respond in writing in the form of a certificate of affidavit in a tenant landlord case. I didn’t know what or how to reply via a certificate of affidavit and needed a lawyer to do this. I was also out of state wh...en I received the motion and only had a few days to find a lawyer to prepare a response. My consultation with Mr. Caporrino was four days before the response was due. I needed to respond to the notice of motion within 2-3 days, at most. Mr. Caporrino said that would not be enough time for him to prepare a viable response. I was obligated to reply and felt like I was “up the creek without a paddle”. He suggested that I write a letter to the court asking for an adjournment. I asked how would I do that and he gave me clear step by step clear instructions on how to file and upload a letter on e-courts. That same day I prepared a letter. I emailed him back and forth with issues and questions and he answered all of them. He also told me to email my letter to him to review to make sure it would acceptable to the court before uploading it. With his guidance, I uploaded the letter to the court just in the nick of time. The judge granted my request for the adjournment. I then retained him to prepare the certification of affidavit. My case was a bit complex and he was very thorough, direct, no BS, methodical. He knew the details of my case after one sitting and was better prepared than other lawyers that I’ve hired. He was knowledgeable, proactive and prepared, unlike other lawyers I’ve hired who, when it came down to it, were not prepared and totally dropped the ball. Your case will not be passed along to an associate attorney who doesn’t have the experience that was expected and thought you were paying for by a law firm you hired. In today’s landlord-tenant courts, you can’t anticipate how a judge will rule, but you should have a lawyer to fight for your rights. The personalized attention you receive from Mr. Caporrino is paramount, in my opinion. I was very satisfied with his approach and how he handled my notice of motion. I wish I would have found him sooner. I absolutely recommend him and would not hesitate to hire him again.

Lawyer James Caporrino was ever ready to take our case to the time was very limited. He is patient ad detailed and welcoming.

My husband and I hired Lawyer James Caporrino and he was very helpful. Though we contacted him in a very limited time for our case for which we were being sued for wrongfully, he took the case and worked on it in a timely manner. At the end of the day everything went well to our favor more than we... even expected. He knows his work and he is a very brilliant Lawyer in our opinion. Every step he took in handling our case was well explained to us in a timely manner and that kept us informed about our next step. This was very helpful. Hire Lawyer James Caporrino for your case and you will testify great about his great job done.
