      Creative and effective guidance

      Posted by

      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.

I am grateful for each legal aid that responds with vital answers to my questions. Thankful for his insight on the current sensitive case i'm trying to figure out and get through !!

      Excellent thorough advice

      Posted by

      I was very impressed with the depth and details Mr. Nolan went into from only a simple initial question. He makes you feel more involved and active in your case than some other lawyers I've consulted with which seemed to have too much of an "let me handle it" attitude. Mr. Nolan was a good contract to speak with and I would certainly recommend him.

      Best Advice Ever

      Posted by

      Mr. Nolan helped me out with a legal problem I had post divorce. Thanks to his advice on a question I posted on AVVO, I was able to get the matter solved. When I showed my x the language on the decree, that Mr. Nolan pointed out to me, my x had no choice but to write me a check. The same day! Thank you Mr. Nolan for the detailed answer you gave me which was very clear and to the point. I wish I had someone like you as my attorney in the first place. If I've learned 1 thing in this divorce process, having the right representation makes all the difference.

      Fair and Caring

      Posted by

      I'm in the fight of my life, and Mr. Nolan helps keep my blood pressure down. Not only does he know his business, but he gives a damn about our business, and he makes me feel like our fight is his fight. If you want someone who is down to earth, whose pricing is fair, and who is clear about your options and cuts to the chase, then Mr. Nolan is your man. I've been in jams before requiring representation and this guys totally blows away the lawyer stereotypes.

      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, Chapter 13 bankruptcy 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, Personal injury 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, Chapter 13 bankruptcy Attorney on Feb 5, 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 13 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, Criminal defense Attorney on Oct 7, 2016
      Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

      I endorse this lawyer.

      Kim DSouza, Foreclosure Attorney on Sep 22, 2016
      Relationship: Other

      I endorse this lawyer. His answers demonstrate insight into the legal process that suggest he would do a good job for any case that he takes.

      John Phillips

      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.

      I endorse Mr. Nolan. His experience and knowledge are apparent from his answers to questions posed right here on Avvo. Mr. Nolan is established and can handle a variety of cases professionally and successfully.
