Nicholas helped me to Evict a "Problem Tenant" who stopped paying her rent. He made a somewhat complicated process easy. He worked with me to get the tenant out in less time that I expected. I will retain him again whenever I have a Difficult Tenant. Call him and you will be very Happy as he is so professional and prompt.

If you are looking for a great lawyer, call Nick Sylvia right away. My mother is a small-time landlord who was in dire need of legal counsel while struggling to deal with a nightmare "professional tenant." I came across Nick's practice during my research and reached out; from day one, we have been glad we did. For context, my mother is in her late sixties and came to the devastating realization that her Realtor's previous claims of the offending tenant's clean background check were false. After being subjected to this tenant's drunken outbursts, vandalism to the rental property, and the unauthorized move-in of the tenant's boyfriend, she needed help navigating the eviction process for the first time. Nick was very understanding, approachable, and patient in explaining the legal process to us, ensuring we knew our rights, our options, and what to expect every step of the way. When we needed to meet with him in person or call to discuss questions and changes in our case, he was also flexible in his availability to maintain open communication with us. In addition, Nick is well-experienced in landlord-tenant law and exercised his expert knowledge to act with our best interest in mind throughout the handling of our case. We greatly appreciated his trustworthiness and transparency, especially when most people in our situation feel overwhelmed and vulnerable. Ultimately, Nick was successful in doing what seemed impossible. He worked with the occupants and later helped us achieve the physical eviction. For the first time in ten months, my mother has peace on her property and peace of mind. We couldn't have found relief without Nick's help and cannot express our gratitude enough! Again, if you need a fantastic lawyer, call Nick and let him help you the way he helped us.

I turned to Attorney Sylvia after over a year of difficulties attempting to agree on a school district for my children with my ex-wife. He was quite helpful as I brought him up to speed with the conversations we had up to that point. He was wonderful in collaborating with me on the ideas that I had and also incorporated his own expertise into the matter of course. We were able to achieve a positive outcome on the case and I believe that Attorney Sylvia played a large part in that. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal services and plan to use his expertise again in the future.

Atty Sylvia returned calls and kept open communications as he represented my family. He did his research and was well prepared for the cases in which he represented us. Would definitely refer him and utilize his services again.

Attorney Nicholas Sylvia really helped me with my legal matter. He took the time to research my case and found little known case law that resulted in a dismissal of the charges. Alot of other attorneys would have probably wanted to just cut a plea deal, but once I explained the situation fully, he was 100 percent on my side. Definitely listens and works for his clients.

I contacted Mr. Sylvia about a pending eviction in which me and my young disabled son would be in imminent danger of homelessness because we did not know our rights. Mr Sylvia was immediately helpful, instructed me in my rights as a tenant I was not even aware that I had, extremely compassionate of my situation as a now single mother to an autistic child with limited means, and was more than willing to work w me within my ability to do so. I highly recommend him if you are a tenant who is uneducated about your rights as a tenant , or are having issues w a landlord who is trying to violate those rights.

Attorney Nicholas R. Sylvia is the right person to retain as counsel to assert you renters’ rights against Landlord. Nicholas R. Sylvia helped me through a difficult time and a difficult process. He was thoroughly professional and knew exactly what to do and when to do it. There were a few tricky aspects to my case that he researched and came up with solutions during the negotiation process. I was clearly in good hands, and he advised me well. I would recommend this lawyer for anyone in a tough legal situation.
