Professionalism is the Word
I highly Recommend Gibson & Perkins. I have used their services for approximately 6 years now and been through a few cases together with very positive outcomes. Personally, I have used Paul Fellman and Walter Timby on those occasions. Both, as a team & separately these Attorneys were wonderful to work with and easily accessible to reach if I had any questions. Professionalism is the word that comes to mind to describe the firm, as a whole. Always completely prepared for any surprises that may pop up during a trial. They were well versed on all pertinent info pertaining to each case. As I client, I always felt I was an integral part of the team, not an after-thought, that had to be brought up to speed a half hour before the trial started. I could not recommend this firm and Mr. Fellman and Mr. Timby any higher.Very Satisfied
I hired Paul Fellman after speeking to several different lawyers from different law firms because he was the most sincere. Paul did an excellent job on my landlord tenant issue I had on my rental property. He was there for me from the beginning to the end of the whole ordeal. I was very satisfied and I highly recommend him and his firm.

Question:
What courts in Delaware County handle landlord and tenant issues?
Answer:
In Pennsylvania, a landlord’s action to collect rent or regain possession of the premises must be brought in the Magisterial District Court of whatever area the unit or building is in.
The Magisterial District Court is smaller than the Court of Common Pleas. Typically, it’s referred to as “small claims court,” and filing there is a more informal the process than in the larger courts.
The Magisterial District Court has mandatory jurisdiction over the Landlord and Tenant Act. Following an action for possession and rent, if you as the landlord or the tenant are dissatisfied with the result, the issue can be appealed to the Court of Common Pleas.
