Marc A Borbely

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.

My roommates and I hired Marc after many unsuccessful attempts to resolve disputes with our landlady. Marc replied in a timely manner (even over the holiday season); handled all communication professionally and clearly; and regularly informed us of our rights, responsibilities and options to reach a ...satisfactory resolution. If I have any future needs for his firm's services, I will gladly re-engage their office. Thanks Marc!

I consulted Marc on a recent bothersome issue with a landlord. I went to Marc because I knew he provides expert, conscientious guidance. He did so in our recent phone call. Several others described the issue as murky as it went into mostly unchartered territory: DC's marijuana law and the conflicts w...ith federal law. Add to that DC's status as being subject to congressional oversight and that makes it a touchy political issue. Marc carefully listened to me outlining the issue -- and he asked thoughtful questions that helped cut to the crux of the issue, and it helped guide us to where we wanted to go, in a responsible, constructive way that passes muster legally. Marc was conscientious, constructive and insightful -- and he provided me with informed, wise guidance. I like that Marc's practice -- the DC Tenants' Rights Center -- exclusively serves tenants' interests and with a community-minded purpose. He has admirably built an impressive community resource with highly qualified, knowledgeable attorneys committed to the public interest. Marc has both political and personal integrity. I highly recommend the DCTRC to folks who may need such services.
