Great lawyer if you need one!

I had some serious charges and Nick helped get the case dismissed and dropped. He’s a great lawyer if you need one. He responds in a timely manner and you will always be on the same page as him regarding your case and he will guide you through it. Good luck if reading this and call Nick!

Tenancy issue resolved quickly!!

We hired Nick to help us with a tenancy issue. Nick was professional in his work and clearly knowledgeable about the options open to us. He provided sound advice and helped us to resolve the issue in a very timely manner and with minimal stress. Thank you Nick.

Compassionate Attorney

Nick represented me in a criminal case, he was the only attorney whom ever really listened and seeked the best outcome for me. He is very thorough and really has his clients best interest. Not only that, he makes you feel very comfortable and gives you the respect of being a being, and not like yo...u're just a number as some attorneys do. Needless to say we won our case for the most part. I am completely satisfied with the outcome! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NICK for hire! Thank you Nick!!! A.M.

What a great Lawyer!

Nicholas helped me to Evict a "Problem Tenant" who stopped paying her rent. He made a somewhat complicated process easy. He worked with me to get the tenant out in less time that I expected. I will retain him again whenever I have a Difficult Tenant. Call him and you will be very Happy as he is so p...rofessional and prompt.

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.
