      Review Nicole Longton

      Exceptional lawyer!!

      Posted by

      For the first time in my life I had the misfortune of getting arrested. Being in a situation I never was in my entire life, I googled for the best lawyer in Worcester area and Nicole's name popped up. I read almost all the online reviews about her and decided to hire her. She is the best for the money and I found her to be very knowledgeable. She knows what she is doing and will tell you exactly what to do next. She is very prompt and what I liked about her she always has an answer for any question I had. My case was dismissed. Thank you so much Nicole!!

      When I first saw all the extremely positive reviews I was skeptical. I couldn't believe she consistently got all 5 star reviews. However, after hiring her and seeing her handle the case she assuredly deserves it. She knows all the main legal entities in the Worcester area and fights hard for her clients. She was in communications with us throughout the entire legal process and we could not have asked for a better lawyer.

      Get justice with Nicole's help. My wife had an accident caused by a negligent driver. Despite this we knew right away that the insurance company was going to make this difficult for us. We did a search on the internet and found that there was a remarkable lawyer in Worcester. The first time we went to her office, we had a good feeling that she was going to fight for us. Later on in the case, we were even more convinced by her professional approach and sincerity in explaining the tough work that would be involved. It was quite apparent that she was going to seek justice for us. My wife who was initially so distraught, started feeling that we were going to get help. Carley was also very very helpful and very patient in coordinating what we needed to do and getting answers to our unending questions. Finally this great team was able to make the insurance company do the right thing.

      Having never been on the 'wrong' side of the law I had no idea what to do when I was faced with two felony charges. I googled around and found Nicole, and noticed all her five star ratings. She was great at handling my case, resulting in the charges being dismissed. I thought my life was over until I started working with Nicole. Don't hesitate to hire her.

      Nicole is a BEAST !

      Posted by

      Nicole is an exceptional lawyer. Earlier this year I was involved in a car accident that resulted in me being issued a criminal application for negligent operation or "neg op" and speeding. Before this incident I've never even received a parking ticket. I thought this would be a minor infraction and it would disappear after paying a fine, but nope! A guilty conviction of neg op comes with a mandatory jail term (2 weeks - 2 years), license suspension, and some hefty fines. When I found this out, I contacted everyone I knew and everyone had the same advice and told me to find a lawyer that specializes in offenses like mine. After a long search, I stumbled across Nicole Longton and noticed she had over 150 5-star ratings. I read nearly all of them and thought "no way these could be legit, who can be that good?". I eventually messaged her on Avvo and within minutes she called me for a free consultation. After a brief conversation, I decided to hire her. She was the only attorney to show any compassion about me and my situation. Immediately she began working on my case and even though I trusted Nicole I was nervous of the possible outcome. Today, I had my Clerk's Magistrate hearing via zoom with Nicole present. The results of this hearing would've been the end for me had the complaint been issued as having a clean record is required for my profession. Literally within 2 minutes, Nicole was able to convince the clerk to hold off on the complaint for 3 months. All I have to do is stay out of trouble and it's almost as if this has never happened. I was in complete shock, I couldn't hold back my smile as the clerk explained to me the conditions of the dismissal. Right after, Nicole called and I couldn't thank her enough, I was brought to tears. I wish this didn't take place during a pandemic because I would've loved to give Nicole a hug and thank her properly in person. This incident may be nothing compared to some of the tougher cases she has fought, but this meant the absolute world to me. So glad that this is over and I'll be able to sleep peacefully again. Thank you Nicole and Carely, the paralegal, for all that you do! Would highly recommend everyone consider hiring Nicole as their attorney.

      Do not hesitate call Nicole

      Posted by

      I hired Nicole on behalf on my son who overnight had gone from being a first year student with no experience of the law to being charged with a couple of serious felonies and a string of misdemeanors. I am 2,700 miles away. I did some searching for people who could help and put some calls into some folks I new in Boston and the same name came back from three people. So on my way to the airport to come bail my son out I engaged Nicole. I deal with commercial lawyers a lot and I was expecting to be told to pay a small retainer and sign a contract that would ultimately enable her to bill me for whatever she felt she could get away with. Instead she took note that this was my sons first offense and the list of charges and quoted a fixed fee. Despite the complexities of the case she has never asked for a cent more. So why do I recommend Attorney Longton? - Value for money - this could have cost many times what it did - Results - she told us what she was going to do and she did it - Communication - she was very transparent. There were significant issues with my sons case and she explained them and what she was doing about them whilst being clear about risks and downsides. - Experience - this was our first time dealing with a Criminal Defense Attorney but I work with professionals and it is easy to tell when you are working with one. It is very easy to tell if a professional has wide experience and Nicole Longton has it. - Responsive - to get a call back that fast on a Saturday was impressive. Two other lawyers I put call into returned my calls the morning my son was first in court.

      Nicole Navigated My Case Fast and Got it Dismissed Quickly

      Posted by

      I would highly recommend Nicole! I found myself caught up in a set of unfair circumstances. I was arrested and charged with a crime. I had never been arrested or in trouble with the law before. I was scared. Nicole knows the law and navigated through the legal system quickly on my behalf. She got my case dismissed fast! Thank you for your help in my darkest time of need.

      Attorney Longton is fantastic. I was facing a serious criminal driving charge and she was able to have the case dismissed. It was reassuring to be represented by such a competent and professional attorney. I would recommend her to all of my friends and family.
