Nicole is a compassionate, kind, smart person who (almost literally) held my hand through my divorce. I didn't want to get divorced, but once that was decided, I knew I wanted it to be done with kindness, empathy, and without trying to best anyone. My former spouse and I were able to navigate the divorce process easily with help from Nicole. I have sent at least 6 friends to her and they were all pleased as well. In a world where there's this idea of family lawyers being sharks, Nicole is a breath of fresh air. She helps you through a sad, necessary time without making me feel exploited or like I was making things worse for my children and ex-spouse. I cannot say enough good things about her practice.
I'm a passionate advocate and attorney and a fellow divorcee. I've seen divorce from many angles for many years, and I'm determined to make it better for you.
I have all of the fancy legal training and experience you’d hope for in your lawyer, but I don’t wear suits and will never choose legalese over words we all understand. I graduated from my beloved UNC School of Law in 2010 and jumped right into family law practice. I'm a member of the North Carolina State Bar and North Carolina Bar Association (Family Law and Dispute Resolution sections), and work with brave, strong domestic violence victims on a pro bono basis.
I am divorced, happily remarried, mother to a spirited toddler, and inspired by everyone braving the institution of divorce. I live with my family in Durham, and work with clients in Durham, Orange, and Wake counties.
