Phillip Peter Nikolis

Phillip Peter Nikolis did such a poor job representing my family, fighting for financial relief after a family tragedy that concluded with a loss-of-life, so poor that I must question how he is licensed in the state of New York. His general communications with us are the worst that I have ever seen o...r experienced from anyone in the legal field in 50 years, just for starters. You will chase Phillip Peter Nikolis to actually DO work for you post-hiring; you will chase him to find our what exactly he is doing; you will chase him for your settlement. He continually (almost strategically) makes excuses on getting your settlement money like I have never seen or heard. He will exasperate most people, I am sure with his low-energy/poor communication style of representation. Phillip Peter Nikolis also seemed to me to work for the interests of the County in the end, while claiming to our faces that he represented our interests. He had zero ambition or desire to make a fight of it and subtly pushed for us to make a settlement based on what the County was directing, with little consideration of our prior directives or expectations of him. Beware if you are going against the County. Those seem to be all of his friends, not yours! Phillip Peter Nikolis is an incompetent lawyer, in my opinion. After having the experience of dealing with him for quite a few years on our case, I feel that Phillip Peter Nikolis, based in Long Island, NY, should have his licence revoked or should get out of the business of claiming that he does legal work representing people. It's appalling work, combined with a shoddy representation, nearly ensuring a low-settlement. Lastly, this individual also has 'no shame' in his sub-par game. He does it all with a smile.
