I endorse this lawyer. I've "run into" Nicholas on AVVO and found his legal answers to be "spot on." As a fellow lawyer in Maryland and outside the Baltimore/Washington DC area, it's important to know and maintain a good network of professionals for various legal issues as they arise. For this reason, I wouldn't hesitate to consult Nicholas on cases, and I would feel comfortable in referring cases to him.

I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Proy is an exceptional attorney and has a vast knowledge of the law. He spends countless hours sharing his legal expertise with those who really need it. Anybody who needs assistance with a Business law, Estate Planning or Intellectual Property matter would be well served in consulting with Attorney Proy.

I've met Nick through the Maryland State Bar Association. Like me, he is a fellow IT professional that went back to become an attorney. I find Nick personable and capable, and a professional that you can easily approach for help.
