I used attorney Nicholas for a disability case where I attempted to get Social Security benefits for numerous disabilities I concurred prior to August 2009. My case was denied twice before I consulted with Jeff in his office. I was desperate for help because I could not work and I had no income to support myself, it was sink or swim for me. His office was easy to find. When I entered his office and I was greeted and seated. My first impression was his concern that my time was also valuable as I waited no more than 5 minutes to be sitting with him for consultation. The facts were gathered and the mission began to obtain my benefits based upon my injury claim. As I prepared to exit post office I signed the necessary documents and was given contact telephone numbers. My second impression was when mr. Nicholas wrote his interoffice AND personal email address and FAX number and told me if I had any questions, concerns or problems I was given the option to email him directly which in my mind was unheard of but very welcomed. On numerous occasions I took advantage of this option and in my opinion expedited answers to some concerns that I had, I was able to update mr. Nicholas directly instead of having to leave messages for him, possibly leading to delays or inaccuracies in translation and most importantly I had an after hours contact. It made me feel very comfortable. Every single message that I sent was either responded to personally from Mr. Nicholas or a member of his staff in a timely manner. I really liked the FAX option because it allowed me to send documents to his office without having to make a special trip or spend money I didn't have on postage. Mr. Nicholas was so detailed with his submissions to the courts, the case was one without prejudiced with full reimbursement dating back to my file date and we did not have to go in front of administrative judge to prove the case. In closing, I HIGHLY recommend anyone with any type of disability case to hire the Nicholas Law Firm.
Attorney Nicholas used me to mediate a case on behalf of his injured client. He did an outstanding job presenting the case and in negotiating a fair resolution for his client.

Effective Legal Team
I suffered an injury on the job and had to leave my place of employment due to the inability to fulfill the physical needs of my work tasks. Initially, I was provided with physical therapy, but, ultimately, I needed surgery. I was met with resistance when I asked for further care; Attorney Nicholas was recommended to me.
A kind reminder to all who travel this path: it can be long and difficult. Your outcome is also based on your attitude, energy, and how committed you are to listening and working along with your legal and medical team. There are days that will be difficult and frustrating. It will be worth it.
I did receive the help I needed to get through the approved surgery, rehabilitation, as well as the ability to access vocational rehabilitation. What an outstanding benefit! A genuine thank-you to Paulina, Dana, Peter, and Attorney Nicholas for their attention to my case, and a positively redirected life.

Amazing help!
I had no idea what I was doing before. I talked to attorney Nicholas about my workers compensation case... And workers comp took 2 weeks to approve an MRI and with one call it was approved the next day with attorney Nicholas's help... They went above and beyond and though I may have been annoying at times they never let it show... I asked every question I possibly could having never dealt with this before and they answered every question and reassured me each and every step of the way.. if you ever find yourself in need, they are the law firm to go with

Satisfaction!!
I was injured in a horrific work accident, and I didn't know who to turn to, until I spoke with friends, and they advised me and pointed me in the direction of Nicholas law. After a thorough sit down meeting with attorney Nicholas and his staff, I knew I was in great hands. Once the procedure began there was nothing for me to worry about, any questions I had were answered and any worries I had were explain to me in detail. Attorney Nicholas's staff got me the money I deserved, and I would recommend Nicholas law to anyone with an injury.

Jeff's deft handling of all issues gave us the
desired outcome.

Right hip claim
Attorney Nicholas worked extremely hard pursuing my claim. Attention to detail and diligence are just a couple of adjectives I would use to describe the effort set forth. The staff was courteous and very helpful anytime I had a question. I would highly recommend Nicholas Law Firm to anyone regardless of the size of the claim.

Great job Jeff and staff!
From our first meeting to our last interaction I felt very secure in the knowledge that my interests were being protected. I had many questions along the way and not only Attorney Nicholas was there to assist but his whole staff proved to be knowledgeable and efficient. My advice is don’t try to tackle a legal problem on your own go with Nicholas Law. You will not be disappointed.

Awesome lawyer
Jeff Nicholas is a very experienced lawyer. He has gone above and beyond for me. Jeff has always returned my calls in a timely manner he has even returned calls and answered emails after hours. His whole staff is very caring about their clients. Anytime I had an issue with insurance adjuster the whole Nicholas law team worked together to resolve the issue. Paulina loosey(paralegal) is awesome.. she's very caring about her clients and you can always count on Paulina to help resolve all your issues. Dana is the receptionist she has also went above and beyond for me on a few occasions. You will not regret calling the Nicholas law firm. Don't hesitate call them now and become apart of the Nicholas law firm family because you will be treated like family.. when you hire jeff nicholas you also have other lawyers who will help on the case.

Personal injury Attorney | Jan 12
Relationship: Worked for lawyer
"Attorney Jeffrey Nicholas possesses prodigious legal skills coupled with rare personal skills. I worked with Jeff for six years, and in that time I witnessed countless examples of his selflessness when it comes to clients. He takes time to get to know every individual and their specific needs, then tailors his case strategy accordingly. When it comes to Connecticut personal injury, worker's compensation, and social security disability issues, one would be hard-pressed to find a more knowledgeable lawyer. It doesn't hurt that his staff is phenomenal, as well."

He combines aggressive representation with a true feeling of the needs of his clients. When I left my practice 25 years ago, I knew that my clients were in the best hands they could possibly be, since Jeff Nicholas was going to represent them.He always achieves the maximum results for them and treats all his clients as though their case is his case.His spirit of public service is how he views his work as an attorney and he makes all his clients feel like they are part of his extended family.
