Aaron G. Sokolow

Outstanding! At my first meeting with Attorney Sokolow , I was informed of the different avenues my case might take. Attorney Soklolow and his staff kept me informed on every detail related to my case. I needed an attorney who knew Landlord and Tenant Laws for the District of Columbia. I had a t...enant who refused to move from a property, I wanted to sell. In my case the tenant moved and and the home was sold. Without the knowledge and support of Attorney Sokolow, I know the result would have not been favorable. I highly recommend, Attorney Sokolow to landlords and real estate professionals.

I am a real estate agent in the District of Columbia and work closely with investors/buyers in obtaining investment properties. Often we come across homes with existing tenants. All those who have invested in DC before know that the worst properties to purchase are ones with existing tenants in the... District because DC is pro-tenant on ALL levels! I came to know Mr. Sokolow on a matter relating to a case in NE DC whereby tenant had occupied the property we purchased in 2013. Tenant would not pay rent and stayed for 15 months at the home paying nothing, was unresponsive to notices we would send her, and would not allow access to the property! To make the situation even more complicated, we were dealing with a tenant who used to be an attorney who took us through the ringer since she clearly knew the loopholes on tying up a property as a tenant!!! We obtained Mr. Sokolow's services in October 2014 and by December Mr Sokolow was in court with the first hearing. By January 20th we were scheduled for trial! Never having met Mr Sokolow, the day of the trial, he sat down with me for a good 10-20 min period to review my documents of evidence and off to trial we went. Mr Sokolow was able to put information together in such an impressive timely manner given the short time allowed for us to collaborate but he shined like a star in the courtroom! His knowledge of landlord/tenant law is quite impeccable! Almost seemed like he fought with his hands behind his back! He had quick and efficient rebuttal and backed the Defendant to the wall on numerous occasions by proving she lied in her own testimony. Mr. Sokolow never made me feel nervous about testifying. He merely instructed to recollect the facts and truth and used it to the fullest to obtain the Judge's decision for possession. Even the Judge had to comment by saying the Defendant "whipsawed her own testimony". My sincere gratitude and appreciation to Mr. Sokolow for his services on what seemed like a never ending nightmare!!

I am a DC property owner that was sued by one of my tenants. The complaint was unfounded. This was the first time anything like this has happened and it was stressful. A real estate agent recommended Mr. Sokolow to me. After our first meeting we formulated a game plan and he put me at ease. Mr ...Sokolow was caring and reassuring. During the mediation he brought forth lapses on the part of the tenants whiched were very much in my favor. I basically was exonerated of any fault and was most appreciative of Mr Sokolow and his assistannt Gwen. I would highly recommend Mr Sokolow to anyone with Real Estate difficulties Frank Damelio, MD
