I have used Marcel's expertise in several instances, including eviction and court representation. In every instance, his counsel has been invaluable. We've recently expanded into commercial leasing and have expanded his consultation into this area. Whenever we have an issue around landlord tenant matters, or real estate in general, we turn to Marcel. We recommend him without reservation.

It was my hope to avoid a lawsuit with a tenant. Although I was somewhat bitter about the experience, i didn't really want to fight. Marcel took my tenant's letter of demand and walked me through each possibility and how the law applied. Then he helped me gather evidence of the damage done to my house. With this and his considerable knowledge of tenant law, he wrote a response to their letter of demand. Actually it was kind of amazing. And, as the statute of limitations has run out, I got the outcome I wanted; no fight. Marcel is the kind of lawyer who uses the law to figure out problems. He doesn't use it to get undeserved money. Those lawyer jokes? Definitely not about Marcel. He is the real deal.

Mr. Gesmundo is not a specialist in the field of law for which I hired him. He let me know this ahead of time, and still went out of his way to research the applicable laws and represent me in a professional manner. He kept me well informed, even providing the hard truths that I needed to hear, even if I didn't want to. I would recommend his services to any and everybody. Best of all, you'll feel as though you're working with a professional, trusted friend.

I highly recommend Marcel Gesmundo for legal counsel. He is genuine, clever, kind, & quick! I can't thank you enough, Marcel. From the moment you got involved I just felt that everything was going to work out- and it did.

Mr. Gesmundo has been my attorney for the last 3 years and I regularly consult with him on a number of legal issues, from business to landlord-tenant law, which he is very knowledgeable about. Most recently, we had questions about termination notices and service requirements. Marcel quickly pointed out the defects in the length of time required and method of service of the notice, ensuring that the tenants had the legally required length of time to vacate, thus avoiding a potential dispute. Mr. Gesmundo takes a very pragmatic approach to solving problems and resolving disputes. I highly recommend him to anyone with a legal issue, especially a landlord-tenant issues.

We appreciated Mr. Gesmundo's attention to detail, persistence, and practical advice. We use attorneys in a few states across the country--both large firms and small firms. We are pleased to have Mr. Gesmundo as one of our trusted advisors. Mr. Gesmundo resolved a tenant dispute and the tenant's departure for us without the need to go to court. That is the result we sought.

I have only good to say about the service that Marcel provided us. He was able to get the issue resolved quickly and kept us informed about options during the process. He kept our best interest in mind throughout the process. He was up front with fees associated with the process and we were not surprised with any curve balls. He was professional, forthcoming and compassionate about the situation. Without hesitation I would recommend Marcel as he is Honest and effective in what he does.
