Made a Bad Situation Better

Amber Lee was such an advocate for me. She helped resolve an issue with a previous employer regarding back wages owed. She was knowledgeable and skilled with litigation but also truly empathic to my situation. I knew my case was in good hands and I had one less thing to worry about which absolutely h...elped make this process more bearable. She got me the outcome I wanted and deserved. Thank you, Amber and everyone at the Law Office of Nicholas F. Ortiz for everything.

Could not be more satisfied

I could not recommend Marques Lipton more highly as an attorney. I spoke with 3 attorneys prior to Marques all of whom told me that Chapter 7 bankruptcy was not an option for me and that I needed to either avoid bankruptcy all together or file a Chapter 13 and prepare for a very large payment each m...onth. Marques told me that Chapter 7 was in fact an option for me and after a couple of quick and easy meetings and one short visit to court I received a Chapter 7 discharge, was able to get out from under a house that I was far under water on and am now able to start rebuilding my credit and planning for my future. Marques helped me save at least 5 years of my life and again I could not recommend him highly enough to anyone who like myself is in the unfortunate position of being over their head financially.

Small case- still made me feel like a big client

My case was personally handled by Mr Jonathan Lang who is an associate of Mr Nicholas Ortiz. My case was a small nonpayment of wages. Although it was small Mr Lang made me feel as though I was one of his most important clients. He updated me as soon as there was news and made sure that I understood ...at each step what was going on. Since laws can be confusing and overwhelming he kept explaining what exactly were my options and what possible outcomes could come from each one. He was calm and reassuring. I had the utmost confidence in Mr Lang. I would recommend Mr Lang, and in extension the firm, to anyone.

Best Bankruptcy Attorney!!!

I filed for Ch. 13 bankruptcy and could not have asked for a more considerate, undertanding and, most of all, knowledgeable attorney. Filing for bankruptcy is not easy and for some (like me) it's very scary but from my very first meeting with Mr. Ortiz both he and Mr. O'Donnell put me at ease and co...uldn't have been more helpful. They not only answered all of my questions, which were many :) but they never once made me feel awkward before, during nor after the filing. Not only that, they take the time to continue and answer whatever questions I may have - in a very prompt manner and that is very much appreciated. Their expertise and assistance helped me get back-on-track and I can't thank them enough. I highly recommend them as they are truly the best!!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Nick Ortiz to be extremely bright, kind, and zealous in his representation of clients. I have referred cases to Nick and his colleagues at his firm and observed their work and responsiveness to be excellent. Nick envisions and executes his role as a litigator and an advisor in a way that best serves his clients—he does not churn fees or fight for the purpose of fighting. Nor does he suffer fools gladly. He is a thoughtful advisor and a thorough advocate. If you find yourself in the midst of an employment or labor dispute, you would be in very good hands with Attorney Ortiz and his colleagues."
