Top Tier Professional

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 high...ly 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!

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.
