Creative and effective guidance

Posted by ChuckWed Dec 27 2017

Mr. Nolan has advised and represented me on several complicated matters including a DWI, a will, and a living will. He guided me through the choppy waters of business ownership. He has never been a clock watcher or a bean counter. He has been generous with his advice and always given me the feeling that we are a team and that my challenges are "our" challenges.

Terrence Michael Nolan is a great lawyer with excellent judgment and legal ability. He is an attorney of the highest caliber, well-respected in the legal community. I wholeheartedly endorse him.

Kashonda Carter, Divorce and separation Attorney on Mar 9, 2017
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have not yet had the opportunity to work directly with Mr. Nolan. I have, however, noticed the thoughtfulness with which he responds to inquiries on this site. For this reason, I believe that Mr. Nolan is an attorney who will take the time to educate his clients and offer them exceptional service.

David Martino, Family Attorney on Mar 7, 2017
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Terry and I had a case in the early 2000s. It was memorable for two reasons: (1) my client stiffed me when the case was over and (2), more importantly, Mr. Nolan acted with a high degree of professionalism that helped us resolve the case in a fair and equitable manner. Mr. Nolan is also a force on AVVO, where his vast knowledge of many areas of law is on display on a regular basis for us all to learn from.

Channika Desilva, Mesothelioma and asbestos Attorney on Feb 22, 2017
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I highly endorse this lawyer. Mr. Nolan is a highly skilled and well-known attorney in the legal community for his outstanding professionalism and work ethic. I highly recommend this lawyer to anyone who needs quality legal representation.

Allen Shabani, Immigration Attorney on Feb 20, 2017
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse Mr. Nolan for his services and valuable contributions on Avvo. Mr. Nolan is very knowledgeable and has been practicing law for a long time.

Rabih Hamawi, Insurance Attorney on Feb 6, 2017
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse Mr. Nolan for his services and valuable contributions on Avvo. He donates his time and expertise to those attempting to find answers for their legal questions.

Richard Granvold, Chapter 7 bankruptcy Attorney on Oct 22, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. Why? Because as a person filing bankruptcy , you don't know what type of attorney you are meeting with usually if no background checks. This attorney provides accurate and detailed answers to Avvo debtors..which shows he has the knowledge and expertise to provide you accurate information. All of us attorneys know attorneys we would never refer a family member to and others who we would refer them to. You should want this type of attorney so you know you are taken care of. Experience leads to knowledge and options with reasons why he suggests that option. I suggest you discuss your case with him first; you can always obtain a second opinion but I am confident you wont want to.

Amir Soleimanian, DUI and DWI Attorney on Oct 7, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer.

Kim DSouza, Foreclosure Attorney on Sep 23, 2016

I endorse this lawyer. Lawyers who donate time on sites like this have a passion for the law and a compassion for the people they serve. Kudos. We'd refer a case without hesitation.

David Gormley, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Aug 13, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. When I have a difficult case he is one of the lawyers I will turn to for a second opinion. He knows his the law and is generous with his time.
