Very knowledgeable and caring

Divorce or any domestic dispute is ugly to say the least. Nicole represented me for a lengthy and hostile divorce. Nicole was honest and direct with the possible outcomes. I was well prepared my Nicole for what to expect each time we had to enter court. She showed compassion and caring but was in...vested in my case for the best possible scenario for myself and my children. Her knowledge and experience gave me the confidence to enter court each time with her. I would recommend Nicole for any family court matter.

Lacked in preparation

Ms Kairys did not properly prepare for my divorce case. I gave her a timeframe as to when a PFA and previous divorce complaint was filed against my husband. She advised there were no such documents and had me sign the divorce complaint she and her staff prepared stating no other divorce action was ta...ken. She did not persue the matters that we spoke about before I retained her. She let the opposing attorney have all the advantages during the proceedings. She then withdrew from my representation and at the time she withdrew she did not disclose that she was sharing/renting space with the opposing attorney.

Great experience in difficult times

Nicole guided me through a divorce that included a very long period of separation (10 years), many financial complications, and antagonistic and uncooperative opposing council. She was always professional throughout the entire process. I am very grateful for her guidance and her encouragement thr...oughout the ordeal. Thanks for a good job!

Avvo Rating

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.
