Fantastic Attorney!!!!

I ran into financial trouble a few years back and was so scared I was going to lose my house. I had no knowledge of the bankruptcy process, didn’t know what to expect, and was scared to lose everything. (not to mention the embarrassment). I hired Kate Nicholson and I’m so glad I did. First o...f all, she made the process so easy for me. She explained everything in terms that I could understand and calmed me down when I panicked a little. She is extremely knowledgeable about the process and I felt “safe” with her in charge. I really felt like Kate genuinely cared about my case and worked hard to get the best outcome for me. My outcome was so much better than I expected and I think Kate was almost (if not as) happy as I was.

The Best!

Thank God i found Kate Nicholson when i was at a point in my life i never thought i'd be. I was behind in my mortgage payments and getting no help from my bank. I contacted Kate and she told me exactly what i needed to do, who to call and especially not to panic. She always got back to me if i had qu...estions and never seemed aggravated that i had so many. Kate is professional, friendly, helpful and always had time for me. Thanks to her, we got it all sorted out and i'm still in my house. I couldn't have asked for a more helpful attorney.

"I have known Kate for six years, through our involvement in the Massachusetts Bar Association, the Boston Bar Association and the American Bankruptcy Institute. Kate is a caring, hard working, and intelligent attorney. She is the first person I think of when I need to refer a client to another bankruptcy attorney due to a conflict. I would, without a doubt, trust her to represent a family member. I wholeheartedly and without reservation endorse Kate."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
