    • I recommend Nicole Ferry.
    • I hired Nicole 1-6 months ago.
    • Nicole handled my Family matter.
    • I have previously worked with no lawyers.

    Nicole Ferry is currently representing me in a Family Law issue. She is very knowledgeable, loyal, and hard-working. She definitely is a "GO GETTER" and you would be silly not have someone like her representing you. When I was reading these awful reviews about her, I could not believe what I was reading, these negative reviews are not at all what I have experienced with Mrs. Ferry. She is an excellent attorney and I would certainly recommend her to anyone!

  2. Dedicated and Knowledgeable!

    • I do not recommend Nicole Ferry.
    • I hired Nicole more than 3 years ago.
    • Nicole handled my Divorce / Separation matter.
    • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.

    I hired Nicole to handle a divorce case for me and was told during the initial consulatation that $3500 would surely be enough to take care of the fees. Over $12,000 was the final bill and the results were no better than that if I had represented myself. She was late for court on two occassions and her representation in court on my behalf was lacking to say the least. She just basically sat there and asked very few questions and those that she did ask didn't matter much anyway. During the initial interview I was quite impressed with her " go get them attitude", unfortunately she turned out to be a "dud firecracker". To say the least I was very dissatisfied with the results of my case and with the representation that I received from Nicole. All I can say is please do your homework before you hire an attorney it can cost you thousands.

    • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.

    Even tho I did not win my divorce case I personally felt that Nicole gave 110% .She stayed in contac with every detail of the case as it progressed. Nicole and her staff worked diligently to win but alas we did not. If we had it do over I don't think we would change a thing..I have never met another attorney who has a passion or love for the law than Nicole. If I am ever in need of an attorney again I will not hesitate to call Nicole.

    • I do not recommend Nicole Ferry.
    • I hired Nicole more than 3 years ago.
    • Nicole handled my Family matter.
    • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

    Throughout our case, Nicole spent more time running up the bill with frivolous documents and having her staff handle and rehandle paperwork. It is a wonder she ever made it through law school. Her deposing techniques made her look like a bitter shrew (and never got any real information) and definitely offended the judge. Nicole is not interested in making sure that divorcing parents do the right thing for the children's education and well being, but just is interested in running up her fees.

    • I do not recommend Nicole Ferry.

    • Nicole handled my Child Custody matter.
    • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

    She handled a custody dispute. All she did was sit there. She jipped me out of $9,000 owed in back child support and medical. She told me I had to agree to joint custody but I didn't "have to." Don't use her she will over charge you, everything will be last minute, eventhough they have know about it for months/years. And they charge to "review your file" regularly but do nothing.You Have to check their paper work they are often wrong and not in your favor,

  7. You must hire a caring attorney to deal with an adoption-SHE IS NOT.

    • I do not recommend Nicole Ferry.
    • I hired Nicole 1-3 years ago.
    • Nicole handled my Adoption matter.
    • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.

    She is very friendly and will be happy to meet with you at first, then when you call to ask questions, the receptionist will take messages and bill you for the time taking the messages and Nicole will NOT call you back. My retainer fee was completely spent even before the case even started. She assured us that the amount we paid her would be plenty to cover the entire process and it MAY just go over a little if anything went "wrong". They spent some time doing research on items that were irrelevant and that we had already told were not correct, they still did it and charge us for all of it. Thank God we were able to hire another knowledgable and caring adoption attorney to help us through it and thank GOD we had the means to afford him after the money we wasted with this attorney.

    Unless your case is really an easy one, I don't recommend her. She is friendly, but in court, she lacks in making strong arguments. Her fee is pretty reasonable, but I learned that 'you get what you pay for'.

    • I recommend Nicole Ferry.
    • I hired Nicole more than 3 years ago.
    • Nicole handled my Child Custody matter.
    • I have previously worked with more than 10 lawyers.

    I have worked with many attorneys in a professional setting and a personal setting. Nicole has by far taken the award for the best. Nicole has taken a personal case of mine on recently, in this same case we also hired 2 other attorneys, and Nicole worked with both of them. The case was a dependancy case along with criminal allegations (of course completely false.) Nicole obviously has a passion for what she does and she is darn good at it. The case is not completely over yet, but so far.. the criminal case was dropped and the dependancy case is working out in our favor as well. Her knowledge of the laws and "firecracker" attitude makes her a amazing lawyer. I would not deviate from her as long as she is available. Strongly recommend her. My husband and I trusted her with our children in this case... a big deal for us, and she has not let us down yet.
