    Review Miguel Nieves

    Straightforward and Effective

    Posted by

    I need help with a modification to terminate Child Support. Miguel Nieves was down to earth, efficient and helped me navigate the forms and the system and got it taken care of in an efficient, effective way. He's looking to help you, not just bill you. He will advise the most prudent way to get the job done and when he thinks further action is not necessary and probably just a waste of your money. I have and will continue to recommend Attorney Nieves to anyone who needs help in his area of expertise.

    More Than Pleased

    Posted by

    Attorney Nieves helped me out with my divorce. During this tough time, I felt that he had my best interest in mind. He explained everything clearly to me upfront and throughout the process. He was available when I needed to reach him and he always took the time to take my call when needed. Mr. Nieves was very professional, very knowledgeable and very precise and did things in a timely manner. Not sure what to expect when I started this process, I am glad that I had him representing me and helping me through this. I will use him again in the future without a doubt. I was very impressed with his service and professionalism and feel that he truly works for his clients in a genuine manner.

    Fantastic family lawyer

    Posted by

    Miguel has the perfect traits for a great lawyer in family court. He fought for me when needed and was able to shake hands with the other attorney and make a deal when appropriate. Thrilled with his work and I highly recommend him.

    Great overall attorney

    Posted by

    Mr. Nieves was very knowledgable and helped me execute my estate paperwork without issue. I have since called him about separate concerns I was having and find his advice to be invaluable. I do recommend him to both family and colleagues.

    Outstanding Lawyer!

    Posted by

    Miguel is a very responsive and personable lawyer. We needed a lawyer on very short notice, and Miguel was there to assist. He worked well with the opposing attorney, and was able to get us an outcome better than we could have predicted. Would highly recommend Miguel to others!
