Helped To Settle A Holdover Eviction

One of the best attorneys I have worked with. This was my first time having to file a holdover eviction as a landlord and first experience with housing court in general. I was nervous going into the experience, however Mr. Gerard was super cool, made me feel relaxed and at ease with the process. Easy... to communicate with, understands the legal process, gives you options and explains consequences/potential results of each route. Pricing was straightforward, no hidden/surprise costs that happen with other attorneys. My holdover case was with a tenant who did leave by the lease end date even though a notice was sent 1.5 months before lease end date. In addition, this tenant was fighting other tenants and causing property damage. Mr. Gerard filed necessary paperwork with housing courts, communicated with tenant to try to reach settlement, and provided all necessary legal documents for me to bring in front of the the judge. We were in housing court about 2 months, however during this period Mr. Gerard was able to have tenant agree to a vacate agreement to avoid eviction. PS housing court isn't as scary as it may seem, and for context I am a landlord for private single family house. I highly recommend contacting Mr. Gerard if you have any issues related to landlord-tenant law. Thanks again for all your help.

When I need Expert Legal Guidance and Representation David Is Who My Business Relies On.

My business has hired David numerous times for many different types of legal issues, cases and research. For my business David has represented me in many intellectual property cases. He has also guided us on proper business operations as it pertains to the complex business of online media purchases... and selling of nutraceuticals throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. He has also put together some very important business contracts and agreements that have helped us build partnerships within our industry. I have also hired David personally to assist with some real estate matters. David has multiple ways to approach every legal situation. He has analytical and logical reasoning, does an extensive amount of research and delivers that research in an easy to interpret approach (translates complex legalities into language we can understand) and he has proven to show us a great deal of knowledge of substantive law and legal procedure. We've been working with David for many years now and will continue to do so.
