5/5 Stars — A true lifesaver during a housing crisis!

My wife and I recently went through an absolute nightmare with our landlord, who completely ignored serious flooding and mold issues in our home and even threatened us with eviction. The stress took a massive toll on our family. Thankfully, we found Will. From our very first consultation, Will was in...credibly kind, empathetic, and reassuring during a time when we felt completely overwhelmed. He has a deep, expert knowledge of landlord-tenant law and immediately knew how to handle the situation. Thanks to his guidance and tireless advocacy, we were able to achieve a very beneficial outcome for our family and finally have peace of mind. If you are dealing with a difficult landlord, I cannot recommend Will highly enough. Thank you, Will, for standing up for us!

landlord-tenant dispute

I cannot recommend Will Salkin at Prompt Counsel PLLC highly enough. He represented me in a difficult landlord-tenant dispute, and the outcome exceeded my expectations. My situation was overwhelming. For over seven months, I dealt with persistent mechanical noise and vibration in my apartment that... the property management company repeatedly failed to resolve — despite multiple work orders, maintenance visits, and even an HVAC contractor confirming the source of the problem. On top of that, my vehicle was broken into in the building's supposedly "secure" parking garage, and management's response was to deflect blame rather than address the security failures. I submitted formal written requests that went unanswered past every deadline they committed to. I was fighting this battle entirely on my own against the landlord's attorneys, and I was exhausted. From the very first consultation, Will was upfront, honest, and genuinely empathetic to what I was going through. He immediately took command of the situation — sending a formal Notice of Representation to the landlord's attorney and shifting the entire dynamic of the case. What had been me versus a management company and their legal team suddenly became a level playing field, and it was clear the other side took him seriously. Will is exceptionally smart. He knew exactly how to position my claims under Colorado's warranty of habitability laws, and he negotiated with opposing counsel in a way that was both strategic and professional. The landlord's initial settlement offer was $5,000. Will fought for me and more than doubled that figure — securing a settlement that actually reflected what I had been through. He also drafted and finalized the entire settlement agreement, walking me through every section and making sure I understood the terms before signing. He was transparent about costs throughout, and even applied a courtesy discount to his fees at the end of the case. When I mentioned wanting lease termination as part of the resolution, he made it happen — and on a timeline that worked for me. What stood out most was his professionalism. He communicated clearly at every step, kept me informed, and never made me feel like just another case. If you're a tenant dealing with an unresponsive landlord, habitability issues, or security failures — or if you need an attorney who will actually fight for you while keeping you informed every step of the way — call Will Salkin. He's amazing

Jessica, thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. Tenants shouldn't have to take on a landlord's legal team alone, and I appreciated working with you. Wishing you the best in your next home.

Can Count on Him

I was dealing with some serious retaliation issues at work, and Will was an absolute lifesaver. Not only is he very knowledgeable, but his response time impressed me the most—I’d often get replies in minutes, definitely never more than a few hours. He kept me in the loop on costs from day one and alw...ays made sure I was aware of upcoming dates and expected costs. If you need an employment lawyer who actually cares, won't price gauge, and moves fast, hire Will!

Thank you for the kind words. Fast responses and being upfront about costs matter a lot to me, so I'm glad that came through. I appreciate you trusting Prompt Counsel.

Top Performer, Trusted Attorney, Tenacious Advocate

I worked alongside Will for six years at a large legal technology organization and supervised him directly for four of them. He served on the Supreme Court Opinion Review team, a selective assignment that requires extensive training. There he edited U.S. Supreme Court opinions for use by Shepard’s su...bscribers and attorneys nationwide, work where precision is not optional. In his final year, I ranked him among the top two performers on a team of about 28 analysts, across a broad set of performance metrics. The ranking wasn’t close, and it wasn’t luck. Will is one of the hardest-working and most efficient professionals I have managed. He gets to the heart of a problem quickly, and he never cuts corners to do it. Since he entered practice, Will and I have continued to trade legal questions and guidance, and that exchange has only strengthened my opinion of him. He is devoted to his clients. He thinks about their problems the way they do: what it will cost, how long it will take, and what is realistically best for them. He is also fair and ethical. I have never seen him take a shortcut that served his own interests at the expense of doing the right thing. His firm uses technology to get clients answers faster and at lower cost, which fits the Will I know. He has always found smarter ways to work without lowering his standards. I recommend him without hesitation.

Really good attorney

Will was prompt and professional throughout the entirety of my interactions with him. He was very knowledgeable about the issue I was facing, and I found his rates to be very fair compared to other law firms. I highly recommend Will.
