Best Family Law Attorney around - Compassionate, Honest, Dedicated and Hardworking

Ms. Greene is the third attorney I have ever worked with in a child custody case. Previously I felt like the other attorneys did not care for my case, but just the money. Ms. Greene was defintely different as she made me feel comfortable, and seemed very concerned with my case. She did not tell m...e what I wanted to hear but instead she told me what to expect in Court which I appreciated. She did not mind speaking up for my case and defending me when the other side tried to say things that were not true at all. Attorneys like her are hard to come by as she always made herself available and no matter the time of day or night, she was always accessible. I would recommend her to anybody who wants an attorney that really cares about their case. I think she is in a class of her own - I have never met an attorney that cared for their clients like she does! I thank Nichole for her dedication and hard work in finding justice for my children - I could have never got custody without her!

No Communication . No Compassion

I have been a Client of Ms. Greene for over a year and a half. I hired her as my Divorce attorney. I rated her a 3 on knowledgeable as i feel she knows a little about law, however not enough to receive 5 stars . That being said, $6,500 later, I ended up handling the case on my own. She was absolutely... unresponsive when I had a question. I went over a year without a face to face with her. Our only communication was by email, when I could manage to get a reply. I managed to settle custody in mediation and also represented myself in the divorce. Yet somehow, my $3,500 retainer fee was used almost immediately and I still owe her another $3,000. She's even suggesting I get a second job or take out another loan to pay her for her "services". Her services included charging me for forwarding an email to her paralegal, or for her paralegal forwarding an email to her. Clearly there was no interest in making progress on my case. It was all about nickel and dime. I pray you never go through a divorce, if you do. TRY YOUR BEST to not involve any attorneys. If you do have to have an attorney, please avoid her, unless you have unlimited funds and have no interest in getting what you pay for. Waste of time and money !

Exceptional Knowledge and Awesome Results

Nichole Greene handled my daughter's Divorce from Bed and Board and Child Custody matter. Her whole office was knowledgeable, but Nichole's wisdom with that knowledge was exceptional. She was always very quick and thorough with her responses. Her advice was right on target. My daughter was able to ge...t primary support with the father having supervised visits without even having to go to court. She knew how to handle everything and every one. She has renewed my trust in this profession.

Astonishing Work!!!

Attorney Greene was heaven sent to my family, she was able to handle a custody case for us. My family went into the case as the "under dogs" but with her help we were able to come out on top. Attorney Greene went over and above our expectations. We would like her to know how grateful we are for all o...f her help. We also like her to know because of her, our family is now complete.

Custody Modification

Mrs. Greene is an attorney that will take your case seriously and work for you in every capacity. She is quick to answer your questions, return emails and return phone calls. I went in to my case asking for a modification to a custody order because my ex would not compromise for any reason. If it was...n't in the order, my ex would not allow it to happen. Mrs. Greene was not only successful in making the court see this, because she fought so hard for me and presented such a good case, I was allowed more time to spend with my children. I highly recommend Mrs. Greene.
