This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Answered my questions

I had several questions about custody rights as a father and she was kind and understanding. She gave me some peace of mind in a difficult situation.

Caring, committed and communicating divorce/custody lawyer

Felt comfortable with Attorney Kairys knowing that she was looking out for my family's best interest. She maintained professionalism throughout all my proceedings and helped me throughout all my issues. Divorce is an awful thing to have to go through but it is nice to have someone that cares on you...r side. She was very responsive and thorough. All communications were done in a timely manner.

efficient, knowledgeable and thoughtful

I met Nicole Kairys through Second Saturday class to get an idea on what options i had since i was considering a divorce. I immediately felt such comfort with her then, I knew she was the one I wanted to represent me. She answered every question I had, followed up with thoughts and scenarios I nev...er considered, and guided me along the way to protect myself financially, and always made sure I understood what was happening and what could happen. She also gave me “tough love” on ideas I had on a real estate matter I believed to be hopeless, and made it possible thanks to her own networking. My particular divorce was pretty straight forward so from my initial filing to my declaration of divorce, it was 6 months and relatively fast. I also got to see the correspondence she sent to my now ex-husband. She also took the time in explaining things clearly - so that even he had comfort in what was happening. Thank you Nicole, for guiding me along the scary, unknown path of divorce and financial protection.

Pleased I hired Nicole Kairys

Glad I had Nicole Kairys as my divorce lawyer. Nicole was very thorough and thoughtful during this whole process. Nicole was very professional and in control when the opposing lawyer was hot headed and unprofessional. This was a very unpleasant time for me and I was comfortable and thankful knowing t...hat Nicole had my back and my best interest.

Nicole Kairys

Ms Kairys went “above and beyond” to bring a settlement to a close, despite the extreme uncooperative nature of opposing side.

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.
