Ethical concerns

Nick required a $7,000 retainer. He did not provide a bill or a statement to the client or the guarantor for eleven months. Nick Worden had the client take a plea. How does that add up to $7,000…Again, no statement received for 11 months. Additionally, we live out of state. At Nick Worden’s direct...ion I paid bail for my family member from my financial account with money that belonged to me. Nick assured me it would be returned to me upon resolution of the case in writing. The case has now been resolved for over two months . Attorney Worden now states in writing he has no agency regarding the return of my bail money and he will not do anything to locate it.

Hire Nicholas Worden with confidence

Nicholas recently represented my son in a case that could have sent my son to prison for 4 1/2 years. His court appointed attorney seemed unable to grasp the case to the point of failing to file necessary documents on time. At about this time I learned about Nicholas Worden. We met, he took the ca...se, and things immediately got better, The final outcome of my son's case was... all charges dropped. Mr, Worden is patient, understanding, thorough, knowledgeable and a consummate professional, I would hire him again in a minute and I can wholeheartedly reccommend him as an attorney

Excellent attorney

Nick did a great job defending me in my case. I was fortunate to have him on my case, as he worked very hard to get me a reduced sentence.

Excellent lawyer

Nicholas was a great attorney, he stopped at nothing to help me on my case. If I could rate him higher I would.

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.
