Attorney Nicol Hanyard-Miles

Attorney Nicol Hanyard-Miles is an excellent attorney. She is very confident, concerned and very resourceful. She represented me in an automobile accident and I was very please with the outcome. She’s very knowledgeable and always keeps in contact with her clients and provide an updated status of the...ir case. She seems to always take pride in her work.

Parental Custody Modification (I'm a Father)

I am a dad that has been dealing with a difficult spouse. I also allowed myself to get caught up with a manipulative ex, so from my divorce to the parenting agreement it has all been an uphill battle. The first time I represented myself, the second time I tried to save money and ended up with an ine...xperienced lawyer, and last but not least I hired Hanyard Law (SATISFACTION). Nicol represented me and walked me through the process from start to finish. I really felt like I had someone in my corner. She was fair and never told me what I wanted hear. I never felt slighted and was tough from start t finish. I feel like I will no longer have any confusion with the NEW language in my parent agreement. Thank you Nicol Joy

Wonderful Attorney!

Nicol is by far a wonderful attorney! She is very professional and caring. We were referred to Nicol from a co-worker as he spoke so highly about her and we see why. Nicol worked on a case for my husband involving a truck accident and we could not have asked for a better outcome. We will keep her in ...mind if ever needed again.

Honest, reliable, trustworthy lawyer

Nicol has been my child support/custody lawyer for seven years. She has been my advocate and voice in the courts. She tells me the way it is and doesn't sugar coat anything. She is very knowledgable and will fight for your rights. I trust her and can confide in her. I concider her more than my l...awyer but my friend.

Top of Her Profession

Unfortunately, I faced my third divorce when another law office recommended Nicol. My divorce was time consuming and complicated by my ex-wife's lack of cooperation. Throughout the process Nicol kept me well informed and was the epitome of patience, understanding and professionalism. Her fees were wi...ll documented and a great value for the service she provided. I have been represented in criminal, civil, business, real estate and divorce situations and Nicol is at the top. There is no question that I would immediately seek her representation should I have another domestic issue. She is incisive, knowledgeable, resourceful and aggressive when necessary. But, best of all, she was on my side.
