Best Landlord Lawyer

This is the second time I hire James Dibbini for a landlord/tenant eviction. I had the pleasure of working with both Jonathan Di Bari and Ramon Lantigua and they were great. Jonathan and Ramon guided me and kept me updated each step of the way, until we finally won in court. Thank you James Dibbini ...and Associates.

Excellent service!

I had the pleasure of working with Hector Diaz who was patient, helpful and attentive. He helped guide me to the correct sources and lent his time to explain a lot of the process to me.

Highly Recommend!

The legal services that I received from James G. Dibbini & Associates far exceeded my expectations. I had the pleasure of working with Michelle Djonovic and Kunal Yadav. Perhaps the thing that impressed me most about them is that nothing was "sugar coated". They were very straight forward and told ...me what to expect each step of the way. I was provided with sound, clear, and practical legal advice. They were reassuring, articulate, knowable and effective which gave me peace of mind in a stressful but successful outcome. At any time I needed them they were always available to help quickly. I highly recommend James G. Dibbini & Associates and their staff for all of your legal needs!
