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!!

Exceptionally Skilled

Posted by

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.

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.

Amazing

My lawyer was Nicole Colby Longton and I cannot day enough about how much she helped me . She was professional, punctual and respectful. I was nervous before the hearing and she offered to call me to reassure me. She explained step by step what the magistrate’s reputation was and the details of how the process works. She gave me her success rate with each of our options. She laid out in detail how it would worn if the magistrate sent my case to the court room. I felt confident knowing Nicole was speaking for me in the very intense room.

Brilliant, Timely, & Responsive: Truly the Best

Posted by

My spouse and I hired Attorney Longton for a Title IX case. It was the best decision we could have made. She is brilliant. She is one of the absolute best attorneys in Massachusetts and likely well beyond the Commonwealth’s borders. I am sure she is a fabulous criminal defense attorney, but she also understands Title IX, a statute intended to end sex discrimination in sports etc. at institution’s that receive federal funding but that has run amuck into alleged sexual harassment type cases. When you get caught up in Title IX due to someone’s malicious intentions, it is truly a nightmare. You want the best person representing you: That is Atty Longton. Atty Longton is a skilled practitioner of the law who knows how to best work with her clients. She is very responsive to emails and phone calls with an unbelievably quick turn-around time. I seriously do not know what we would have done without her. She understands people, and that is a gift. She guides you through the process, and she is someone you can trust. She has a tremendous amount of legal experience, and she has a knack for seeing through a claimant’s inconsistent statements, such as wobbly timelines and incongruent witness testimony. Atty Longton’s written work is stellar and that is extraordinary when briefs, investigative reports, and statements need to be crafted, and, on the other side, analyzed. Her legal mind is truly amazing, and the pace at which she works is astounding. I can never thank her enough for giving my spouse and our family our lives back after they were hijacked by a false Title IX accusation.

Super Attorney

I had a clerk’s hearing and Nicole was able to get the case dismissed within minutes without anything ever showing up on my record at all. I am here on a visa and she carefully understood my situation and what potential implications it could have for me. I highly recommend her services!
