Referred to Nicole to resolve a matter and she was extremely thorough, reachable, reliable and it was 100% win. You can definitely count on Nicole. Highly recommend
In every criminal matter, there is an enormous amount at risk. Often times, it is a person's very freedom that hangs in the balance. I will leave no stone unturned to protect my clients and to defend their interests whatever the situation and whatever the obstacles. I take every case very seriously and go to great lengths to spend extensive time getting to know my clients. My primary goal is to first build a relationship of trust with each client. I understand that negotiating through the legal process is frightening and confusing, especially if someone has never been involved in the court system before. It is my responsibility to make certain that each client has a full understanding of the court proceedings so that each person feels that his or her voice has been heard.Â
I have been practicing law for almost 15 years in the District, Superior and Probate and Family courts in Essex, Middlesex and Suffolk counties and throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. I firmly believe that an effective advocate must not only know the law but must know and be known in all of the local courts. I have spent many years developing a reputation for being a fierce, tenacious advocate for my clients, a reputation of which I am very proud.

Highly recommend this lawyer!
I was in crisis and didn’t understand the intricacies of the legal system. Nicole immediately took me in, made me understand what was happening and why. She also told me what needed to happen so that i would be patient. She explained things to me in a way I was able to understand and make decisions. She also empowered me to fight for myself which is something I have never done. I was scared and still am, but Nicole has my back in a way nobody else ever has and It’s obvious that she truly cares. She understands what mental abuse is.

The best!
Attorney Riley went above and beyond to help me with a business matter. She made a stressful situation go smoothly and handled everything for me.. You could not ask for a more knowledgeable, professional, and caring lawyer. The outcome was better than expected.

Excellent Results
I was a defendant in a criminal matter with 3 separate charges. One of the charges was presented in District court, the two other were sent to Superior. Attorney Reilly worked tirelessly to help me prove my innocence, and the results were that all three charges were dismissed. She stayed in constant communication with me, I was informed at every step. I had never been charged with a crime before and I had no idea what to expect. I felt comfortable with Attorney Reilly in my corner and she fought for me to the end. I would recommend her services to anyone.

Nicole Reilly is an extremely knowledgeable individual. She is extremely invested in her clients. Not only did she reassure me continuously through out the process, she truly made me feel as if I was family to her and she would do whatever it took to get me through the hard times. I would highly highly recommend Nicole.

Calm Caring Comforting
Attorney Reilly took my case when I had just been arrested, Her and her teams first job was to get me out of jail. When I got to court I was a scared healthcare professional that had never been in trouble before and didn't know what to expect or even what was going on. After I was released on my own recognizance we sat down to talk about the case. With her caring and determined attitude we immediately hired her and we felt lucky to have been referred to her.
I was facing up to 25 years in prison for a crime I didn't commit. She was always there if I called to talk me off the ledge literally. She made me feel confident that maybe the justice system would work for me. I didn't know what to expect ans she would be honest and could talk to me and my family in a way that we could understand what was next and how we were to go about our defense. When she came up with a plan we felt she was very confident in the direction that we would go (even if I wasn't). You go through a lot of emotions throughout this difficult process but I could always count on her to assertive while still being conscious of where I was mentally.
From the pretrial hearings all the way through the jury selection then the trial took about years and there was never a day in court or out that thought she wasn't in control of the situation (even though I was absolutely not). When the jury came back I was a mess, even though she prepared me for this moment, you are never are really prepared for having 12 people be in control of the rest of your life. I was unable to keep it together when they walked in. She held my hand and looked my in the eye. She didn't have to use any words I knew she was there for me no matter the outcome. The the not guilty verdict came back I lost it and 2 years of emotion came out. She hugged me and I thanked her for everything.
Not only did she save my, and my families, lives but she became a trusted friend and we love her.

Life Saver!
Attorney Nicole Reilly took on my case right before I went to trial with a court appointed lawyer in which I was facing up to 5 years imprisonment If not longer, so my case was extended and we she first did a motion to dismiss one of my charges and we further succeeded with that which cut my possible imprisonment in half and soon there after we met for a plea hearing and the judge offered me 1 year to serve with the balance suspended and a few years probation, at which time Attorney Reilly recommended I take that deal bc trial was gunna be tough to win so I took her advice and I'm already out on parole 6 months later and I'm a new man life is really looking up and I owe it all to her she saved my life that's as simple as I can put it I highly recommend her to anyone in need of help in a bad situation.

Great and Dedicated Lawyer
I am so happy Nicole was my lawyer during the worst year of my life. She was dedicated to my case and hopeful for the best outcome, but honest with what could be ahead of us. I always knew I could contact her if I needed and she would get back to me, almost always within minutes. She never gave up on me and continued to fight for the best outcome. Towards the end I felt completely defeated and depressed by my mistake and almost completely gave up, but she never did.
Through Nicole’s impressive knowledge, research, professionalism, dedication and connections and reputation, she was able to give me back as much of my life as possible. Thank you so much Nicole!

Glad I hired Nicole!
I was referred to Nicole back in May of '19 and I found her to be personable and empathetic to my legal issue and the effect it was having on me personally. She answered all my questions and her legal advice was solid in the end. She was someone I felt cared about what was happening to me and how the disposition of my case could be best served to that end. I had follow-up questions related to my case after it was settled and she was responsive and forthcoming, with practical advice for my benefit. Cost-wise, I found Nicle's fee to be in line with another attorney in the area that I consulted with prior to retaining her. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!

Fantastic Legal Counsel
Nicole is extremely professional. She had answers for all the questions I had regarding my case. She was supportive the entire time and was a source of comfort. She returned messages very fast even while away from the office on personal time. I would recommend her to all in need and would hire her again without question.

Successful Criminal Defense Case
Attorney Reilly came highly recommended to me from a retired lawman when I recently got into trouble. She clearly explained to me the process, range of possible penalties from best case to worst case scenarios and answered any questions I had, which were few since she was so thorough. She successfully negotiated a plea deal for the best cace scenario she had explained to me.
It was extermely obvious that she had an excellent rapport and was very experienced and well respected by the Clerk, District Attorneys Office and the Judge.

Truly a superhero
In my professional capacity, I've worked with many attorneys, and have learned that there are few things more valuable than being able to rely on expert counsel. In Nicole's case, she is nothing less than exceptional! Attorney Reilly guided my family and me through a complex case where we were exposed to abusive behavior by a troubled and manipulative individual. I couldn't imagine else who could have provided the same peace of mind, clarity and certainty, especially through dealing with the local court system. Nicole is a MASTER in navigating this system, and I highly recommend her. In addition, she is truly an expert in working negotiations, drafting documents, and works with the highest degree of professionalism. Whatever legal issues you are going through, there is no one better I could recommend to lean on than Attorney Reilly.
