Divorce and separation lawyer | Nov 09

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Nick and I have been opposing counsel on a number of cases. He is very well informed on the law and aggressive when he needs to be but still manages to be pleasant to work with. This means that If the case can be settled fairly, he will do that. If it can't, he will litigate it efficiently."

Family lawyer | Aug 26

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Nick is a top quality attorney. He knows the law and is able to articulate his positions to the courts, opposing counsel and his clients. I have worked with Nick on several matters and have always been impressed with his attention to detail and ability to operate under pressure. In my opinion, he is one of the top lawyers in Northern Virginia."

Family lawyer | Jul 02

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"First, Nick Solan has the best AVVO picture I've seen. That's obviously partially due to his fantastic hair and his somewhat smirky but confidence-inspiring smile. Second, Nick Solan is a teacher and mentor. He never hesitates to spread knowledge to those who seek it. Third, and I guess oddly-placed since it is most important to this site's purpose, Nick is an efficient, effective, and highly intelligent lawyer who works hard for his clients. Pretty much what you want in a representative. Basically, Nick Solan is awesome, and you would be lucky to hire him."

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.
