Best Lawyer I ever used

My name is Nick I hired Frances who was reccommended recently to me from someone who used her  Like any divorce, mine was very stressful.  Frances was able to help me avoid up to 10 years worth of spousal support obligation pursuant to Federal Law as my wife was not yet complying with any order.When... we were going through our divorce.  In addition, she was able to advocate for my wife to relinquish her custodial rights/visitation with our child and continue her child support obligation, even though there was never any finding of abuse or neglect toward our child on her part.  She always responded to my questions and she even gave me her personal cellular phone number so that we can keep contact when an immediate family member of hers was in the hospital having surgery after recovering from cancer.  On top of all this, my divorce cost me a total of $1,500.00 when it should have cost me at least $10,000.00.  I was able to obtain a judgment of divorce without ever having to make an appearance in Court.  Rest assured, Frances will help you with your divorce case.

Best Lawyer I ever used

I retained Frances 1 year ago and I have to say it was the most plesent and smooth experience I ever had. I know that is unusual especially in a divorce buy Frances treated this case with the upmost care and compassion. Frances gave my case a complete 180 that could have ended up bad. My ...wife and I were not on speaking terms and did not allow me to see my son at all. I told Frances there was no abuse and my wife was being difficult. Frances assured me that if there is no abuse involved she will file the proper motions to allow me visitation. Frances put the childs interest first before anything else. Long story short in 3 days I was allowed visitation. My wife represented herself and Frances took that into account. After visitation was settled, Frances worked her hardest to make this divorce fair for both of us. I was surprised because I heard divorce lawyers "go for blood" Frances is a humanist. My wife and I were able to settle at the behest of Frances's stipulation agreement. Our divorce took 6 months and my now x and I are civil. Frances Nicotra's Fees were very affordable and to my surprise I only spent $3,500. Frances really cares and its nice to find a lawyer who cares. Please accept this review as high recommendation.
