Best Most Prompt Lawyer Contacted

Firstly I'd like to say that Nicholas Carbone was the second to last Attorney I called. I stumbled upon him hours before I was to appear in court for an OUI case. None the less it was not a comfortable feeling having to go into court alone. It seemed almost instanteous that Nick called me and assured... he could help right away and he did just that. He had a case at the same time but called into the courthouse to tell them he was taking my case. They complied and we had a court date set. That afternoon I had an appointment set up with Nick and we got down to the events the night before. Within the week he had investigated the entire case. All evidence needed for the case was gathered in the first week and we were ready to take the case to Trial. The only wait we had was on the court. He even managed to get me a court date that I didn't think would come that soon. The entire time leading up to the trial date he kept me informed via Phone, Person, and E-mail. He was very responsive. When we went to trial Nick was able to get all my charges dismissed. He questioned every single detail the cop had written in the police report. All in all Nick was very professional, fast, and efficient. He knew his stuff. He also was a very reasonable person to deal with I would recommend him to anyone who needed the help. With all the lawyers I contacted I dealt with the same situation; "I'm very busy", "this won't be for a while", "your case is very unlikely beatable" and so on and so forth. Nick knows how to deal with these situations and knows that not all cases are the same or likely to be beat but has the proper training to help as much as possible. 5 Stars all around for this guy, you should give him the opportunity to represent you.

Determined Up and Coming Lawyer

Nicholas Carbone was a fantastic lawyer for my case! My case pertained to an accident that I got into with a State Trooper, where they cited me for something I did not believe was my fault. I was reccommended to Nicholas by a professor I have at Fitchburg State University and he immediately got back ...to me within minutes and set up an appointment with me . It seemed like my case would be one that I would lose, since it was with a state trooper, but that did not stop Nicholas from taking the time to listen to me and believing in the case. He is very kind and caring and will walk you through every step of the way for the process. It was my first time dealing with the legal system and Nicholas really made me feel a lot more confident about my case, even though there is always a chance to lose. I won my case against the troopers, with the help of Nicholas! He is hardworking, determined, very accessible, and knew what he was up against in court and he was confident going in. I would definitely recommend Nicholas for assistance in a case, he listens to everything you have to say and he asks questions about the problem and about yourself to get to know the people he is working with. Hopefully I would never need to again, but if I were in another legal dilemma, I would most definitely call Nicholas Carbone first for help!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
