Nancy is professional and knowledgeable

If you need a divorce lawyer, look no further than Nancy! She answered my questions clearly and provided information to me that I had several concerns about. She enpowered me information about my divorce and provided guidance. I truly know Nancy cares and will make sure i am taken care of. It's comfo...rting to know I have such a caring professional on my side. Nancy cares about her clients and I 110% recommend her.

I wish I had chosen Nancy Cleaveland from the beginning

Nancy helped me when I was going through a modification of alimony. I wanted to divorce my now x-wife so bad that I did not realize how important it was to hire a top attorney. Now I have to live with the outcome that was originally agreed while using an average attorney.

Awesome lawyer

I found Nancy Cleaveland to be very knowledgeable and have had her handle several legal issues for me. She is very direct and helped me have realistic expectations. She did the things required to get the best outcome, but didn't do things to just run up the bill. In fact, she has let me know when t...here have been things I could do myself to keep my expenses down. She explained things to me and I felt like she cared about my problems. If you want a hardworking lawyer who gets results, call Cleaveland and Cleaveland and ask for Nancy.

Great Strategist

Nancy reviewed my case thoroughly. She saw where things had been missed by my previous attorney and came up with a perfect legal strategy. I had great success in my case.

As painless as a divorce can be

Nancy assisted me in my divorce from my husband, we had property, and two small children. She gave good solid advice and the whole process went smoothly. We did time sharing, child support, division of property and everything was fair and professional. I have the utmost faith in her.
