Can't give a negative number of stars or I would.

Does not return calls Overcharged Belittling clients Excessive workload makes her unresponsive. Case work was always handed off to her paralegals Way overpriced 2500 retainer 1500 collected from my ex Would not accept final 2200 in payments Was told to borrow the money Have me 5 days to pa...y 2200 Ended up removing herself from my case and charged me almost 3000 6500 dollars later and Im still not divorced

Posted by Johnny Bailey | October 15, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Miracle worker

I recently hired Nichole Greene in a last resort trying to get some older tickets and a order for arrest taking care of, she was the third lawyer that I had hired for the same tickets! One lawyer never even went to court and the other lawyer gave me the wrong court date twice, I contacted Mrs Greene ...literally within days not only did she take care of everything she actually got my DWLR dismissed and the order for arrest struck! AND cost me less money then either of the other two lawyers that didn't do anything. If you want your problems behind you I highly recommend you give her a chance to help you...

10 STARS!!!

Custody & child support. Nichole made having a lawyer easy and the process hassle free for the first time. She is very knowledgeable and you can trust that the advice she gives you is so. She does not tell you what you want to hear but does what you need and goes above and beyond and got me even mo...re then expected non my child custody and support case. I am so appreciative and have already given her name to other people in need of legal representation since my court case today. Thank you so much Nichole. You are a rare lawyer and you were worth every penny spent and more and I hire her for anything in the future!

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 !
