"I have known Nancy for well over 15 years going back to law school. Over the years, we have worked on matters as opposing counsel and also I have referred matters to her. I can unequivocally say that I trust Nancy with any matter that I have ever referred to her and have always heard rave reviews from clients I have referred to her. Moreover, in cases we litigated against each other, she always came to court prepared to fight on behalf of her client and received the utmost respect from the Court and the litigants. If you are seeking a competent, strong, skilled matrimonial attorney, look no further than Nancy."
