Nicole Duca Sullivan

In 2016, I had a fall from a ladder in shop class at school while putting wood away on a high shelf. I was a Special Education Teacher and sustained a bad injury to my c-spine and hips requiring 3 discs to be fused with rods and screws installed and both hips replaced over 4 years. I was knocked out ...in the fall and sustained a concussion also. Nicole Sullivan and Jacqueline Hartley took my workers comp case and represented me from then until 2023 when I was finally awarded Accidental Disability Retirement. The process was very long and arduous but Nicole and Jacque made sure I was taken care of all of those long years. My bills were always paid and medical procedures covered in their entirety! I don't think I will ever be pain free ever again but, the surgeries I have had have made life more bearable and I owe Attorney's Nicole Sullivan and Attorney Jacqueline Hartley eternal gratitude! Thank you both and any members of the team that contributed. Robert Thomson

I had a group of women that fought for me with my employer. From the receptionist to the one that took care of keeping all my medical up to date to the one that kept all my other paperwork filed properly and the one that was assigned to come with me to court dates. They told me what I should expect a...nd what I should do if I received something that I should not have signed/or sign.

I met with associates at Nicole's office regarding a possible work injury case. She and her staff were very responsive to all of my questions and inquiries. I came into this unfortunate health situation having no idea of how to navigate the systems regarding compensation, nor was I aware of any of th...e rules or the extensive paperwork involved in making (and proving) a claim. The staff at NDS and Associates took my case and handled every aspect of it for me, from paperwork completion and explanation, from worker's comp, to long term disability, and then to a SSA disability claim. It was a process indeed, and I would never have been able to do any of this myself. I am grateful for all of their help and advice in obtaining reasonable and just decisions on my behalf.

After my injury, I hired Nicole Sullivan as my attorney to navigate for my well-being through legal system. At first she was very pleasant when there was little to do but became argumentative and petty when I didn't always agree with her decisions and felt they were not in my best interest but hers. ...She was never available for meetings with my retirement board and would send inexperienced associates with me. She would arrange appointments for me and when I arrived they had no information. She transferred my case to an associate without my knowledge or consent and when that associate left the practice didn't bother to notify clients. She has poor communication skills with clients and is consistently changing or cancelling appointments at the last minute. It became necessary for me to change law firms in the middle of my journey as I found myself unable to trust her judgement and handle my case.

Nicole and her associates helped me from close to the beginning of my Workman Comp. claim. They responded to any questions I had via e-mail or phone within 24 hours. I am always informed about my case and when my benefits were decreased they fought for me and won. I received all retro benefits in a t...imely fashion. I am able to focus on my injury and recovery, while they focus on the insurance company. It is extremely stressful being caught up in the comp. system and Nicole's office helps alleviate those stresses and allows the injured to have hope. I could not ask for better representation than what I am receiving. If you are injured they will help you get what you rightfully deserve.
