Review Nicole Boyle Kairys

Excellent divorce attorney in Pittsburgh

Posted by

Nicole was always very professional and thorough. She maintained composure while being verbally attacked at meetings and hearings. Her paperwork, documents and hearing presentations were always accurate, unlike opposing counsel: lost emails, inaccurate statements at hearing, deed prepared/filed was in err and needed resigned/filed. Her advice was always beneficial to my outcome. She made an unpleasant situation bearable and successful. Her support team was just as excellent.

I have worked as opposing counsel against Attorney Kairys. She is an experienced litigator and dedicated to her clients. Any client would be lucky to have her as their counsel.

I have worked with Nicole in the same office as well as against her in a number of cases. She is bright, creative and always prepared. I have found her to be a formidable opponent. She is also highly respected by the bench and bar.
