Caring and Proactive

I had as wonderful of an experience as one can have going through the divorce process with Nick as my attorney. I had switched a year into my case with no movement. Nick was able to come in and quickly catch up. He skillfully navigated a high conflict divorce and helped in protecting both myself and ...the children. He acted quickly, was very communicative, caring and was always was thinking out of the box. He is honest and made me feel safe and always had my best interest in mind. I would highly recommend Nick and plan to continue to use him in the future.

Best lawyer ever!

Nick was the best lawyer I have had; and I had been through 6 before him. None of the other lawyers even took the time to hear my situation. Nick on the other hand, not only gave me the time to hear it, but really took the time to understand it. I had come to the office distraught with fear for my ch...ildren and stories of lawyers who would just keep taking my money but got no where. He responded with compassion and concern for my children, something I had not genuinely experienced before. He took the time to explain things, and made me feel heard and acknowledged that my concerns were legitimate. Nick did more for me in less time and with less money then any other lawyer had done before. It was such a pleasure to work with Nick. His patience, demeanor and compassion is what allowed me to function through this whole ordeal. I came Into his law office panicked, scared, sick and tormented... and left healed and so much stronger due to his help. I’ve been through the mill with my ex and so many lawyers before and no one has treated me with the compassion and understanding that Nick has. In addition, Nick was always upfront with me and was very receptive to my concerns, needs and understood my anxiety. It was nice to feel as though someone truly wanted to work as a team with me to bring this situation to justice and help my kids. I was relieved to know that he understood narcissistic abuse and gaslighting. Nick killed it in the court room. His professionalism and detail to each individual concern was where I was truly blow away. I thought I would be so nervous when going to trial, but thanks to Nick, his pep talks and the way he handles things; I was not nervous at all. If you are looking for a great lawyer for family law, do not look any further.

Absolutely incredible, life-saving attorney!!!!

I could not be more grateful to have had Nick as my attorney and there are not enough kind things that I could possibly say about him. Not only did he win my child custody case by a landslide, but he TRULY was a life saver throughout the entire process. After dealing with multiple lawyers before him,... he was a Godsend. I am in awe of how well he handled every aspect of my case with care and diligence. He helped me to understand all of the possible outcomes and how we could be as prepared as possible to obtain the best one. Nick ACTUALLY cares about you and will fight for you because he wants to, not because he has to. He is compassionate, genuine, and goes above and beyond in his work.. Nick really listened to every word that I said and took it in. During this time in my life I was overly anxious and neurotic and Nick put my mind at ease every single time that I ever needed him to by explaining to me our exact circumstances and how we were proceeding in order to get the best result. He answered every one of my questions no matter how many times I asked them. He was encouraging and gave me hope so many times when I needed it. Nick is so understanding and thinks things through fully by taking all aspects of the situation into consideration. He pays very close attention to details and it makes a big difference. He was always proactive and far ahead of the game every step of the way. By the time of the trial I felt so prepared and more at ease knowing that he was going to be by my side because that is how much I trust him. Nick was so professional at each court appearance and it stood out. He knew exactly when and how to say things and his manner throughout every interaction in court was perfect. He is calm but confident, a true force to be reckoned with. I could never thank Nick enough for how much easier he made such a hard time for me and for working so hard to get me the amazing outcome that he did. He is such a good person and an incredible lawyer. When you are fighting for something as important as your child, you need someone by your side that you can trust and he is it. Thank you, thank you THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!!! Nick, you are the BEST!

Nick handled my divorce and child custody case. He made me feel comfortable at a very difficult point in my life. I would recommend him to anyone looking for guidance during what could otherwise be a confusing and overwhelming experience. Throughout the process, he responded very quickly to emergenci...es either by email or phone, and I am Happy with my ultimate settlement. I would recommend him to anyone.
