Would Never Recommend

Nicole did nothing but take our money as a coparenting coordinator. She wrote one misinformed letter of recommendation with promises to correct and update but never followed through. I would never recommend her unless you want someone spinning your wheels for months without any resolution.

The STAR

As soon as I was assigned to Nicole by the firm and read her impressive credentials in family law, I instantly experienced her professionalism. I was looking for a lawyer who not only had my back but most importantly served the best interest of the children. Nicole possesses cool practicality, an imp...eccable work ethic, and amazing attention to detail. She will neither waste your time nor money trying to get to the best possible scenario. She has been my therapist, my wings, my superhero, and a sister I wish I had. Nicole's profile on the firm's website says that "she has received the honor of being included in the Super Lawyers – Rising Stars list". To me, The Star has already risen, and I wish her and her clients much success.

Not responsive and didn’t fight for me

I was referred to Nicole because I was told she’s a bulldog, I had difficulty getting her to follow up with me or my exes lawyer resulting in it looking like I delayed and was punished in our agreement for it. Now we have a terrible agreement that doesn’t help my son and I’m in a financial hole for i...t.

No results - super high bill

Really bad experience!! Nicole was appointed for my case.Not able to make ANY progress in my case. Dragged call after call for 6 months without 1 single written order. Billing went to 5X times the retainer which was already so high. There were times they didnt respond for 3-5 days. Just kept the bill...ing going on time. Finally had to fire them for case and it got resolved within 30 days without any issues. Sorry to say but would strongly recommend to avoid using them.

Knowledgeable and easy-going

I hired Nicole as my attorney after reviewing several others. Her straightforward talk mixed with understanding and humor supported me during a difficult time. Her knowledge and patience during this long divorce kept me on track during the stressful dealings with a poor opposing attorney. She basi...cally had to educate the other attorney in family law, since divorce was not his specialty. Her reasonable advice brought this to a settlement conclusion, with minimal damages to both sides. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs family law assistance. She is a good champion for your side.
