Where to start with my gratitude to Aaron Sokolow? He's really been a gift as we've had to navigate through a very complicated, high-end, landlord/tenant issue that required discretion and diligence. He was steady and thoughtful and so knowledgeable of intricacies of courts and practice, while really creative and flexible with our strategy. Beyond Aaron, his paralegal Shakira was professional and responsive. HIRE THIS FIRM.

I cannot express enough gratitude and satisfaction for the outstanding legal representation provided by Aaron and Rachel in my recent TOPA Landlord-Tenant case in DC. Their expertise, dedication, and strategic approach played a pivotal role in securing a favorable outcome.
From the initial consultation, Aaron and Rachel demonstrated a deep understanding of the complexities surrounding the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA) in the District of Columbia. Their knowledge of the law and the intricacies of the court system immediately instilled confidence in me. Throughout the entire process, which dragged more than 5 years due to the pandemic, they exhibited professionalism, transparency, and a commitment to achieving the best possible result.
One of the standout qualities of Aaron and Rachel is their ability to navigate the complexities of TOPA and present a compelling case in court. They meticulously prepared for every aspect of the trial, leaving no stone unturned. Their attention to detail and thorough understanding of the legal landscape surrounding landlord-tenant disputes was evident in their arguments and responses.
Furthermore, the communication throughout the case was exceptional. Aaron and Rachel kept me informed at every stage, providing clear explanations of the legal proceedings and ensuring that I felt confident and well-informed. Their responsiveness to my inquiries and willingness to address any concerns promptly contributed to a stress-free experience during a challenging time.
Thanks to Aaron and Rachel's dedication and legal acumen, we achieved a successful outcome in the TOPA Landlord-Tenant case. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of top-notch legal representation. Their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to their clients set them apart and nothing short of extraordinary. I am grateful for the positive resolution they secured on my behalf.
Sincerely,
Simon

Working with your firm over the past 5 years has been one of the more rewarding aspects of this job, and it really has kept me going in hard times. Thank you.
I self-manage 19 rental units in NE and SE. Aaron, Vivi and James (et. all) are my crew. They get the job done as efficiently as can be expected in DC, and I have handed them some doozies! I consider my attorney's fees reasonable and money well spent. I really couldn't ask anything more.

Outstanding! At my first meeting with Attorney Sokolow , I was informed of the different avenues my case might take. Attorney Soklolow and his staff kept me informed on every detail related to my case. I needed an attorney who knew Landlord and Tenant Laws for the District of Columbia. I had a tenant who refused to move from a property, I wanted to sell. In my case the tenant moved and and the home was sold. Without the knowledge and support of Attorney Sokolow, I know the result would have not been favorable. I highly recommend, Attorney Sokolow to landlords and real estate professionals.

Sometime after Thanksgiving the heater in my apartment stopped working and I was having problems with the landlord and property management in regards to this issue. Aaron Sokolow represented me in a landlord-tenant dispute and provided guidance what steps to take to make sure everything worked out in the end. This guidance helped me think about the outcome if I were to make certain decisions and with his help we negotiated a settlement with the landlord. Communication with Mr. Sokolow was excellent - he responded on time to my questions and concerns and make sure to contact the landlord's attorney if there was any delay in their response.
Thank you for your help and I am glad I had the right team helping me out. I was lost without knowing what to do and thanks to you, I now know more about my tenant's rights.

Best choice ever and money well spent. He carefully listed to my concern and provided several options. When I was in doubt, best practice was used. Great decision.

First time dealing with a non-paying tenant as a property owner in DC. Aaron walked me through the process and potential pitfalls on the phone, and handled all filings and appearances in a professional manner.
The case and actual eviction went about as smoothly as such things can go.

I appreciate an attorney that spends time in court but still has time for his clients. Aaron is responsive on email and it's nice to be able to pull up an old email to review what was discussed. He is reliable. He has been successful in getting several tenants evicted for me and got them on payment plans they're keeping. Finally Aaron is very knowledgeable on DC tenant law. I enjoy reading his blog and appreciate the way he uses it to keep clients informed. As a small landlord I appreciate that Aaron doesn't make me feel like a small client. He's quick to respond. The invoices are thorough and include summations of conversations.
