From a young age, Nicole M. Thurston learned to be versatile, having lived abroad in Spain and Germany with her family while her father served as a U.S. Army Officer. Her mother, a native of Spain, passed on her native tongue, Spanish, to her daughter.
It was those bilingual skills that landed Ms. Thurston a job after law school representing a Spanish-speaking client in a divorce proceeding. She served as co-chair to opposing council, Mahoney & Richmond’s Reeves W. Mahoney and Andrew T. Richmond. Less than 36 months later, they would be working on the same team.
Ms. Thurston's areas of expertise include cases of divorce, support, custody and equitable distribution, same-sex adoption and agency and parent-placement adoption in general, plus pre- and post-marital contracts.
After graduating from Virginia Wesleyan University with Outstanding Senior Awards in both of her majors, Political Science and Spanish (she also recently finished her term on the VWU Alumni Council), Ms. Thurston earned her law degree from Regent University School of Law, where she co-founded Regent’s Hispanic Law Student Association.

Nicole handled my divorce, she was professional and detailed. If I had a question it was usually answered the same day. In court she was very professional, had all details and was fully ready to represent me. I could not have asked for a better attorney to represent me!

Against these odds, Nicole has been by my side through through the lengthy lega...
"I've known Nicole for a decade and had no idea she was fluent in Spanish until a recent client needed an explanation of a settlement last week. English was his second language and Nicole switch right out of English into Spanish to ensure he was confortable with the settlement statement he was signing. She has always been keen and compassionate and has a thorough working knowledge of family law, especially as it relates to real estate transactions. I highly recommend her services."
