Melvin was helpful and supportive throughout our entire process. We had a lot of questions and concerns about our living conditions and Melvin made sure we understood everything. The outcome was successful and we wish we reached out sooner.

I was referred to this attorney by a atty friend that doesn’t do tenant landlord cases. I reached out via email and was contacted quick, efficient and professionally. I was offered great advice via phone, verbal and most importantly by the actual atty! And it was excellent low to no cost advice.

Tenants Rights Group was excellent for my case. No rent owed, no eviction on my record, almost 6 months rent free time to move very good deal for the money.

Outstanding law firm for fighting foreclosure. Melvin and the guy who works for him were able to keep my foreclosure in court for clost to 2 years. My mortgage and assessments were over $2000.00, but I just paid Melvin $500 bucks a month and stayed in my place for almost 2 years.

Mr Sins is very good and did a very good job on my case. I will recommend him to anybody who needs to break there lease because of having a bad landlord like I had never fixing anything but always asking about rent. Mr Sims will break lease with such a landlord no problem
