Posted by anonymous | January 30, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Nick helped me to feel safe and protected in a time of major insecurity and fear.

To say our case was a tough one is an understatement. Most talking points were met with opposing views. Needless to say, most meetings were intense, resulting in a more-than-typical number of meetings to finish. There were many times when it looked like mediation may not be for us; however, Nick DeM...etro stuck with us and patiently guided us through this tumultuous process. He was invested in helping us find a common ground. Throughout the process, I came to know that he was not just doing his job, but that he truly cared. He also showed a deep mindfulness for our children, and that always meant so much to me. He proved to be reliable, loving, and trustworthy. Divorce is never where I imagined I would be. I believed that no matter the challenge, I could make my marriage work. Sadly, I was wrong. When you realize you have to make one of the toughest decisions of your life, you need someone by your side that can be trusted in a time of insecurity and fear. Nick was/is that person. I am so grateful that I found a person like Nick to rely on from beginning to end.

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.
