Marc A Borbely

Marc is an outstanding attorney (and person) who truly cares about his clients. He stood up for the rights of my family in a complex matter pertaining to disability law involving a condo association. Marc provided in-depth analysis (which was spot on) about options available to my family, as well as ...the pros and cons of exercising those options throughout the process, and was extremely thoughtful, diligent, and firm -- traits which ensured the safety of my family. In addition to that, he very prompt in responding to emails and scheduling calls. I fully endorse, trust, and recommend Marc, and I would hire him again without any hesitation.

I am the owner of Crepeaway restaurant in Washington DC. Our renewal was coming up at the height of the Covid pandemic. We needed a renewal with a life line given the circumstances. It’s rough out there. Marc got us 6 months of free rent that started almost immediately which will hopefully ...allow us to get thru what will probably be the worst winter in restaurant history. He continued to follow up with the landlord attorney and walked us thru entire process. Marc is the best attorney we have worked with in our 16 year history at Crepeaway and we won’t won’t work with another one as long as he’s around.

Our case centered around an aggressive DC landlord, who herself was an attorney. The case became quite complex because of the landlord filing a case against me when she was the one who had not returned my security deposit. Marc represented me in the court. He is highly knowledgeable and effective. He... had to sift through a lot of information to present a coherent case. He clearly, and in a structured way, communicated the issues to the judge that was core to us winning the case. Their fees are lower than other law firms and skill level is very high. I would recommend him without any hesitation.

Marc represented us for nearly two years. We cannot recommend him and his firm highly enough. He is a compassionate advisor and tough opponent. He fights for tenant’s rights, and wins. We are a couple who had our second baby on the way and found ourselves facing a lead paint issue with a landlord.... We needed expert guidance and advice on our rights during a scary and confusing time. Marc and his firm aided us in negotiations to remediate health and safety issues. When the landlord failed to meet their obligations, Marc guided us through litigation and settlement, and secured commitments that resulted in safety improvements for tenants in the future. Marc was a champion when our family needed one. Even when we doubted ourselves, Marc helped us stay grounded with his knowledge of the law. That was invaluable when we at times felt intimidated and scared. He was realistic in his assessment at each stage with what we could achieve, what the costs would entail, and what the risks were. It always remained our choice, when, how, and if to proceed. There was never any pressure, other than his desire that we make decisions in our self-interest and within our level of comfort. Marc’s firm is amazing. His colleagues have a lot of heart and sharp legal minds. We learned a tremendous amount working with him and his office, and would recommend them to anyone seeking the protection and safety of the law.
