Marc A Borbely

Words cannot express how lucky we feel to have found Marc. He is the Joan of Arc of tenants! He assisted us in forming a tenants association, negotiating contracts/buyouts, navigating court cases, understanding our rights, and so much more. Throughout the arduous process, he was patient, professiona...l, detail-oriented, empathetic, responsive, cool-headed, and efficient. I have already highly recommended him to others in need of protection in the face of displacement and/or disputes with a landlord. Look no further for your tenants’ rights attorney!

Marc recently helped to settle a rent control dispute with former landlords, and our experience was fantastic. Marc did a phenomenal job helping us understand our legal options through a great deal of research and attention to detail, but he also was excellent in negotiating a favorable settlement wh...ile managing the interests of other tenants on the case. Highly recommend Marc and his team for any tenant-landlord disputes.

Marc helped me with some nasty lease termination problems I’d been having as a tenant. He was incredibly thorough, did a ton of research and came back with plenty of avenues for us to pursue. By the end of it, Marc had gotten me out of what I thought was a hairy situation, handled all the communicati...on and letters with the other party and did so in a very timely/efficient manner. Marc was also extremely kind and personable and helped ease my nerves when I was extremely anxious about the situation. I couldn’t recommend him more for folks in need of this skill set.

Housing matters are personal, the problems injure your privacy and obliterate your peace of mind. I know. In 2019 I had the good fortune of meeting Shani Shih from Housing Counseling Services, Washington DC. Shani is a tenants rights advocate and activist , passionate about her work , dedicate...d and professional. She earned my trust. After a thorough review of my housing record, she was crystal clear: you need a housing lawyer and the best one in DC is Marc Borbely. Marc is everything you want your lawyer to be, an advocate, professional in every way, meticulous, a skilled communicator and works with a crafted plan. Housing issues invite the tenant to get sidetracked into hostilities, Marc's steady hand will always keep you on track. Thank you Shani. You were so right. Alexis Rivera Washington DC

We hired Mark when our property management group stopped responding to our requests to help solve a serious problem we were experiencing with our unit. Mark worked with the management company and was able to quickly negotiate a very fair agreement for all parties. During my interactions with Mark, he... operated extremely efficiently -- there are plenty of attorneys that rack up billable hours doing unnecessary tasks; Mark did not do this. He commanded a comprehensive understanding of our legal options while also actively soliciting our feedback on how we wanted to proceed. He was extremely prompt in his replies to both us and the management company. Finally, his rates were extremely affordable given his expertise and market rates... I wouldn't have to search very hard to find other attorneys that charge 4x the hourly rate Mark did. I would gladly hire Mark again for any tenant/landlord issues in the future.
