Understanding, Discreet, Fair

Recently our family needed the assistance of legal counsel for a very personal matter. Mr. Nash and his team worked with us to achieve the outcome that we desired. He and his team were very personable, discreet, and realistic with us as we went through the process. The team was very attentive as we s...truggled through the interview with details that were very delicate, making suggestions, and setting realistic expectations considering the situation. We could NOT have gotten through the process without Mike Nash and his legal team! We are so grateful for his office. Prayerfully our needs will be few and far between, however, we know exactly where to go should we need legal help in the future. We highly recommend their services.

A Million Tickets in a Million Counties and Mr. Nash Handled Every Single One

I reached out to Mr. Nash in December regarding my tickets. I had four known tickets at the time; 3 in Guilford county and 1 in Rowan county. The tickets were all from 2010 and 2011, and my license had been suspended because I never went to court for them. The tickets were as follows: Speeding Tick...et (Guilford County), 2010- 79 MPH in a 60 MPH zone Speeding Ticket (Rowan County), 2010- 83 MPH in a 65 MPH Driving While License Revoked (Guilford County), 2011 Expired Registration (Guilford County), 2011 Mr. Nash initially quoted me $1250 to handle my tickets, but I put it on hold again. In June, I reached out to him again, and we came up with an installment plan that worked for both of us. Mr. Nash initially started with my tickets in Guilford County. In less than a week, he had all three of those tickets dismissed, with no court cost. Our next order of business was to start working on the tickets in Rowan County, however in the meantime Mr. Nash discovered a ticket that I did not even realize existed in Mecklenburg county for Driving without a License, he got that ticket dismissed with no court cost as well. Mr. Nash charged me an extra $200 for that ticket. The ticket in Rowan County was reduced to “improper equipment” which does not affect my car insurance, and they charged me a court cost of $483. All five tickets were handled in a little over a month, and cost about $1450. The only court cost were from Rowan County for $483, and these tickets did not add any points to my license or effect my insurance at all. The service that Mr. Nash delivered was impeccable, his office manager Erica was there any time I had a question. I would recommend him to anyone dealing with any ticket issues in the NC area. He responded to all of my emails promptly, and was very reassuring throughout the entire process. Getting the tickets dismissed with minimal court cost was more than I can ask for, and being able to drive again is such a relief. Thanks Mr. Nash!

Posted by anonymous | June 07, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Michael Saved Me from a Terrible Divorce Decision

Prior to hiring Michael D. Nash I was under the impression divorce could be done basically like a drive through service. This may be the case if you live in Vegas or you can trust your soon to be Ex. I thought I could trust my soon to be Ex. I soon found out that alas, I couldn’t and shouldn’t trust ...the soon to be Ex. Divorce is too financially complicated and emotionally stressful to handle without a trusted attorney on your side. Divorcing partners are hurting which results in selfishness. Michael helped alleviate the stress by communicating throughly and understandably the lawyer jargon which is so hard to comprehend. He is always easy to speak with and returns messages promptly. Which, in a stressful situations is helpful. Michael’s office staff was extremely professional and made me feel welcome and at ease. “Just because the past didn’t turn out how you wanted it to, doesn’t mean your future can’t be better than you ever imagined” Michael D. Nash helped make my divorce less of a burden which in turn, made the rest of my life easier to manage with the changes from divorce.

Attorney with Integrity

When I initially contacted Mr. Nash I was very distraught due to the circumstances surrounding my particular situation. I had no idea where to begin to navigate the complexities of the court system and felt very overwhelmed. After my initial conversation with Mr. Nash I felt better knowing that he ha...s a lot of experience and is very professional. My particular case took a few months to resolve and during that time we would talk about any updates to the case and find different stratigies for the best outcome. Mr. Nash not only gave me the legal information about my case but also real leadership advice that helped me deal with the real world challenges I was faced with along the way. His attention to detail to not only my case but my personal life helped me feel at ease knowing I was in good hands. I had no problems along the way so I hoghly recommend Michael Nash. This is the attorney to see if you are willing to take his advice and want to be with a winning team as his staff is equally as professional.

"Mike is "The Guy". He has a wonderful way with people that helps him accomplish things others might not. And when that does not work his years in the Navy make him a polished hard hitting SOB.

If I ever had issues with the police of any kind Mike would be getting a call from me."
