Family attorney

I whole heartedly recommend Attorney Nickerson to anybody needing legal assistance. He was professional, efficient, and a wonderful advocate for me and my family. It's obvious he has a passion for what he does, and genuinely cares for his clients. He stuck by me through a very difficult legal procee...ding and never waivered. I am truly grateful for him.

Domestic violence assault

Patrick is very intelligent and he handled our case very well. He took the time to answer all our questions and always responded to emails. We are super glad to find him to help us through the hard times. At the end, the charge of domestic violence assault was dismissed. Thank you Patrick!

Very knowledgeable and personable

The first time I met Patrick I had given up and was sure I would lose my license for 3 years. As I listened to his advice and plan. Not only did I learn about my situation but I also gained confidence in getting the sentence lowered. End result 30-day loss of license no jail time and he also won m...y BMV hiring which is a feat. Can't thank him enough.

Great Lawyer

After i got myself into a bind with a criminal speeding charge i found Patrick's site and decided to talk to him. After a few minuets on the phone i was convinced he was the right guy, to which he proved in the end. I hired him, did what he told me to do and the end result was far better than i was e...xpecting. Communication was very good. Highly recommended. A+++++ Lawyer.

Excellent Choice!!

Finding ourselves in a legal battle was very scary and stressful. We hired Patrick to represent us and this was a excellent decision for us. We felt like he really listen to us, responded very quickly to every question and concern that we had, either by e-mail or phone. We do not think we could have... walked through this without his help. We no longer felt alone on this journey. We did get the results that we hoped for. We had excellent legal representation!!

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.
