Excellent Attorney

I spoke with Nicole on two separate occasions and I am very happy that I did. I am also an attorney but needed advise on a different area of law. Nicole was knowledgeable, informative, and had a great manner of delivering the information. If I have further questions I will not hesitate to contact ...her again. Thank you Nicole!

Sole Proprietor, Entertainment Industry

Nicole Haff has provided me with excellent guidance and impeccable work as I worked through numerous contract negotiations with her for my business. I am an influencer in the entertainment space, and Nicole served as my main point of contact for various contract negotiations in regards to my work and... business planning. She is the most responsive attorney I have ever worked with, was quick to understand my needs, and was assertive and thorough when communicating with the other parties involved. I could not be more grateful to work with Nicole, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal services.

Principle

I was a ball of nerves when I spoke to Nicole. She helped me avert a potentially damaging situation. I appreciated her honestly and candor. I also appreciated the plain language discussion which helped me understand the appropriate course of action for my situation. Wishing her well.

Great Lawyer!

I had a brief call with Nicole today and I'm so glad I did. She made me feel really comfortable talking to her and made a very safe space for me. I'm dealing with a defamation suit and it was nice to talk to a lawyer who was actually human, and understood what I was going through. She gave me really ...good advice and multiple options I could take while I pursue my case. I also felt really seen, as she had reviewed the notes I'd sent before my call. Overall, I'm really happy that I got matched with her because she talked me through my issue, gave me legal guidance, and also some words of person comfort. It was truly a breath of fresh air.

In-depth knowledge and provides a realistic view

Nicole was invited to join my one-hour consultation with another member of the Romano Law firm, and I'm truly glad she was there with us. She contributed a wealth of knowledge about the topics discussed that helped steer me in the right direction. She was also candid about my options and challenges, ...which was key in helping to guide me.

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.
