Best child custody lawyer in Northern Pa

Nicholas has been our lawyer since 2005 originally for custody of my granddaughter who is now 15. Parents tried time and time again to gain custody didn't happen thanks to Nicholas. In 2014 he also attained custody for us of our grandson who is now 10. He is now helping my son to get custody of h...is daughters. Exceptional family lawyer, courteous, effective, and professional.

Brilliant man

Attorney Masington has been helping me navigate the child custody waters when an agency is involved. He has helped me, and most importantly, my granddaughter find a safe haven in these stormy seas. His knowledge is exemplary and he is kind and caring. That is a tough combination to find and I trul...y appreciate all Nick has done and is doing for us. Grandparents, if you have custody of your grandchildren and need help, call Nick

Excellent Lawyer

I have used Nick Masington for many years. His knowledge with family court law is second to none. What many people do not understand with many family court issues is that things are not always " fair" there is a process and steps to follow that can at times make you feel disappointed and frustrated. ...Nick has always went out of his way to explain to me every possible situation and the best way to address it to achieve the ultimate goal in mind. He has always given me honest and realistic advice even when it was not what I necessarily what I wanted to hear. Many times he told me " No you will never get that so don't waste your money". He kept things very real in situations that tend to get angry and emotional. I must say all though I might not have always liked what he had to say; taking his advice is what got me to win numerous support cases, custody, name change and involuntary termination to parental rights. I truly feel that Nick took my cases and did what was in my best interest even if it was not putting money in his pocket.

Great lawyer

Very knowledgeable and professional. Straightforward and a no nonsense attitude. I have used Nick for vArious family law related issues and he has always handled them in a timely matter.You can't go wrong with having him as your attorney.

Posted by Bill | March 07, 2014 | Marriage & Prenuptials

Excellent experience with this attorney!

I sought Nick’s advice reference reviewing a prenuptial agreement for an upcoming second marriage several years ago after having been somewhat ill- advised by another attorney. His fairness to both myself and my soon-to-be-spouse showed a sense of integrity and empathetic understanding that was tru...ly remarkable. I highly recommend Nick to anyone in need of legal advice reference marital issues.
