She Saved My Son

I cannot thank this woman enough. I had already hired a lawyer that was doing a terrible job. Nicole came highly recommended by a family friend. After our consultation I was sold. Fired that lawyer, & hired her asap. Not only did she sound confident, but she followed through with everything she said.... She was very honest, and thorough from day one. She taught my son a lot. Had that first lawyer for 1 yr with no movement and was recommended to take a 15 yr plea. I hired Nicole in December, we were on trial by March, my son came home in May. 100% free. To think about the position we were almost put in, I’m glad we didn’t listen and so grateful for the recommendation to hire Nicole. She is a real beast in that courtroom. So smart, so talented, and genuine. She truly is for the people. She gave my son pep talks and checked in even after,& made sure he was settled. They don’t make many lawyers like Nicole. She saved my sons life. If you want a lawyer who stands on what she says, actually cares, will be honest with you, actually communicates, & goes hard for you or your family….Nicole is your girl.

A Miracle in the Court room our Angel

I was recommended by a friend, my son had got in some trouble with theft & attempted burgulary charges was facing serious prison time at the age of 18. Ms Fegan explained to me that she was busy and it was evident I could not afford her. Ms. Fegan said to me God is telling her to take this case so sh...e did just that. My son case had to be closed asap or take it to trial. Ms.Fegan didnt feel trial was best option because the discovery and proof was hard to fight. Long story short this brilliant woman visited my son a few times in jail. Went to his first court date and spoke with the judge & DA in chambers. She fought hard and smart in very short time. She kept me up to date with how things was looking. The big day was two days later Ms Fegan visited my son the day before the day of prepared him for court. She is so good at what she do she read my son and his personality from first meet.  What happened in court was rare and emotional lots of tears before the ruling. The judge once more called ms Fegan in her chambers right before the big ruling. The judge ordered 2 years prison time but changed her mind (rare) order probation and bootcamp. Ms. Fegan touch presence and hard work moved everyone. After the ruling we was all talking laughing joking both sides judge prosecuting attorney. It was not about fighting each other on this case who won or who didnt. It was about giving my son another chance at life realizing nobody is perfect and everybody make mistakes dumb decisions not realizing the consequences or severity of they actions. Ms.Fegan brought that spirit in the court room and we all felt it. I could say so much more about the finacial part of hiring a lawyer but I dont want to mislead the reader definitely got a testimony on that subject. I would definitely recommend her she was amazing and a Miracle in the court room. My Testimomy Thank you Nicole Fegan

Always there, passionate for justice and she is beautiful, but they don't call her a "pittbull" in the courtroom for nothing...

Ms. Fegan is the only attorney I call! She is honest and passionate for justice! She is always available to talk or answer any questions for me or my husband. Nicole Fegan gets the job done! If she did not represent me, I'd be serving time. Sorry to say but she has turned my thinking around. I've ...always thought that all lawyers want is money, but that is absolutely not true with Ms. Fegan, she actually cares for her clients and fights for our rights. All she wants is justice to be served fairly, not to take your money and give you the same representation as a court appointed attorney. We highly recommend Ms. Fegan, I still call her for advice and she always answers. Currently I am going through a traffic issue where the cops basically threw the book at me, so we called her immediately even though she doesn't handle traffic, she still helped me find a lawyer whom I can trust. To sum it all up she is a very hard worker , an amazing attorney and a person who will stand by her client every step of the way. We can't thank you enough Nicole Fegan.

Best Attorney in Atlanta

Ms. Fegan represented my boyfriend in Douglas County and we couldn't be happier. The best thing about Ms. Fegan is that she cares. She wants justice. She wants the best for her clients and their family. She kept our spirits up when we were down. I will be referring Ms. Fegan to anyone that has a... criminal case.

Rescuer

Ms. Fegan represented my son. Her services were petitioned at the last minute, a day or so before the court date. She was patient with my son and understood his anxiousness concerning his case. She explained to him what he was facing and the possible options. Within a short period of time she gain...ed our confidence and was able to bring some comfort to my son and I. She acted diligently in getting in contact with the District Attorney's Office and began speaking on my son's behalf. The outcome of the case is one that would not have been granted without her diligence and professionalism and for that we are extremely Grateful.
