Nicole Lavalley is a great lawyer!

Nicole has been my lawyer for 7 plus years now, from a divorce to a real estate transaction. I trust her, feel confident in her knowledge as a lawyer. She's personable, cares to listen, and explains the process in depth. She truly is the best of the best lawyer. I trust her and will continue to trust... her with all my needs. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for an experienced, great lawyer.

Awesome, knowledgeable and respected Attorney

Nicole has handled many different issues for us. The last was a real estate transaction where the buyers attorney was dragging their feet. She pushed them along (as well as us!) for a speedy conclusion. She also did some legwork that should have been done by a different attorney, at no extra cost. Sh...e is very thorough and her advice should be heeded. She handled a family court issue for a relative that I referred to her. It was very emotional for my relative and she was proactive and was able to provide the right guidance and attended the court hearing with a wonderfully positive outcome. Through the whole ordeal, she never once even hinted to me that she was even representing my relative. All her cases are confidential as they should be and she is very discreet. Nicole is the one lawyer I trust and seek her out for advice on any legal issues.

Grandparents Rights

Without Nicole I don't know where I would be emotionally today. After years of hiring numerous high priced attorney's without anything to show for what we had to spend, I decided to reach out to Nicole for some justice....what we received was just that JUSTICE after 10 long years fighting our way th...rough the judicial system. She and her staff had my back from the get go! Her professional knowledge and support for what I was fighting for, was of the utmost importance to her. She never let me down. During the long emotional process she guided me with her expertise and when the time came, when what I needed to accomplish was not her forte', she referred me to another top notch attorney who in turn represented me in Appellate Court and was able to overturn the injustice that I received in Probate Court! Nicole was eager and able to pick up right where we left off and we continued the fight and won!!! We made Case Law! Without her I would not be enjoying my granddaughter today...my only grandchild after the tragic death of my daughter. Thank you Nicole...I will never forget what you have done for me and my family AND my granddaughter! You're the BEST!!!

Human being first Genuinely cares

I'm in Florida and had gone through a terrible a divorce in Massachusetts. 11 years on I'm still dealing with my very tempestuous Ex who hauls me back to court every time she feels like. I had been to court (in Massachusetts) so many times that it had become quite expensive to fly back and forth and... also pay attorney fees. So I opted to represent myself for a while. However, after a recent hearing things began going sideways and I decided to start looking for an attorney once again. I ended up on this site and after reading a few reviews I started making phone calls. Of all the 5 or 6 attorneys I called, Nicole is the only one who actually took the time to speak to me on the spot. I was a little nervous due to what just transpired in court and anyone else would have taken advantage and made it worse just to sign up a new client. Nicole Did Not! She took her (valuable) time to explain everything in detail and also lay out some scenarios. At the end of the call I was much calmer and understood everything. To think that she did that on a phone call, that 1. she didn't have to take and 2. wasn't getting paid for 3. Didn't judge or talk down Is the exact reason I'll be hiring her as my attorney - and so should you! we go through life hoping we don't need an attorney but if you ever I would definitely recommend Nicole.

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.
