Nigel is the best!

Working with Nigel was the best legal experience I've ever had. He's efficient, incredibly knowledgeable, and very personable. He helped me draft several legal agreements and his work is top notch. He always answered my questions in a timely manner and his work was thoroughly researched. I look forwa...rd to hiring him again, I'd highly recommend you do the same!

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.
