Awful experience

If you’re considering hiring Nick Wachinski, I strongly recommend you think twice. We paid him for what should have been a simple custody modification, and over a year later we’re still waiting. Excuses, delays, and silence were the norm. The last thing we heard was that he’d be getting us a court... date… that was months ago. We’re now exploring our options, and I wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone. Steer clear.

Cheater and Overall Horrible Person

Nick is a terrible human being. He willingly entered into a relationship with a married young woman with two children while being married himself. He then advised this young woman to file a PFA against her loving husband on a Friday so that he would be served over the weekend and told her to leave w...ith her children in the middle of the night. Anyone that has been sanctioned twice by the Bar Association and has two DUI's on his record is not someone that I would take legal advice from.

Great attorney

My fiancé recommended Nick. I called him immediately to discuss my child's case. He agreed to representation. Nick was able to get the warrant dismissed and the charges dropped to a summary offense. He was able to have this mattered resolved in 6 weeks which helped alleviate stress. Great guy an...d true to his word. He's an excellent attorney!!

Can not recommend

If this is the same person that practiced in Media PA I urge you to stay far far away! Our experience was abhorrent! Many promises were made and none were kept. Meetings and court dates were cancelled due to his "schedule conflicts" with no regard whatsoever for his client. We wasted so much vacation... time and lost work time, all for naught! We were later assigned another lawyer from the firm who was no better; suggesting we settle for a minuscule fraction of what we were after. My wife finally "fired" him and represented herself, winning her case and receiving nearly the full amount of what she was seeking!

I feel blessed to have such a great attorney in my corner.

When my case started getting complicated and I decided I needed a Family Lawyer, I retained Nick. Nick Wachinski is an honest, smart and efficient lawyer. His experience and knowledge showed in the courtroom and each time we met. Every time we went to court I knew what to expect and Nick helped k...eep my emotions in check. Nick was honest in assessing my situation and its expected outcome (which were in my favor). My calls and emails were promptly returned and I never was left worrying. I have recommended Nick to a friend for a custody issue and would recommend his services to anyone in need. I feel blessed to have such a great attorney in my corner.
