Saved from 10 day notice to vacate!

My family and I are hard of hearing, deaf & physically disabled. We had an issue with a tenant on a mission to cause us an eviction by falsely slandering us to the landlord, harassing us by calling the police daily to falsely accuse us of multiple made-up incidents and noise disturbances in which th...e tenant would make loud banging noises or screaming sounds, record the sound and call the police to accuse us of making these sounds. Tenant relied on our inability to pinpoint the sounds due to our hearing disabilities . The landlord was caught in the middle with being unable to tell whom is telling the truth despite the fact we cooperated with law enforcement and tried to install cameras with our limited tech knowledge. Despite it all, we were faced with pressure from landlord to break lease early, which then escalated to being issued a non renewal and finally resulting in a 10-day notice to vacate. Distraught with the fact we were being pushed out onto the street unjustifiably, we hired Keith Dent to assist us as we had never experienced anything like this in our lives. He listened to our case, sent the landlord an email defending us and guided us by offering advice on how to get our renewal back. We listened to everything he informed us of and followed his directions to the T. We successfully got our lease renewal back. My family is so relieved, we would highly recommend Keith Dent to help you with any landlord/tenant disputes.

Best Lawyer Around!

After consulting with multiple lawyers for a lease dispute I had, Keith was the one that showed the most attention and had the most knowledge on the legal matter. Keith always kept in touch and kept me updated every step of the way. He ended up saving me thousands of dollars! The process was so easy ...with him. I'd recommend him 10/10 times!

Tenant /Landlord Dispute

What on earth can I say but very pleased with my outcome. I initially sought his council in July after a dispute arose between myself and landlord. I Slipped & Fell in my building common area and after almost 11 years was asked to move, nothing personal it was business. (my landlord's response our b...uilding insurance will take care of YOU). Unfortunately I took it way personal I liked my landlord, my neighbors, my community this was my life turned upside down after my landlords neglect. Feeling vulnerable and disparaged I decided to hire Keith. He assured me again with his no nonsense demeanor confidently saying he had my back. I never felt so trusting in someone as I did then. Court came and justice prevailed, he executed a concise and speedy presentation to the other council & was completely professional beginning to end. Impeccable service and a wonderful letter of gratitude from Keith L. Dent for hiring HIM. Keith L. Dent earned my business so forever grateful! Thank you so much, Client for life!
