Superb Family Lawyer!

Very energetic, highly skillful and always available. Nicole was critical during my divorce. Not only she helped me get out of Permanent Alimony, but also did it with lots of compassion, class, and empathy. Understanding and listening to the "person", but always putting the "client" interests firs...t and foremost. Her advice allowed me to make rational/unemotional decisions during my divorce. I was a wreck when I came to her and 10 months later (yes, lengthy divorce) I came out with a good deal and a new perspective of myself and life in general. Divorce is hard. It takes an emotional and financial token on lots of people (husband, wife, kids, family). It is very easy to get blindsided and try to strike a quick deal just to get it over with. Don't! Nikki was key in showing me the legal alternatives and helped me make tough decisions when I most needed to. Very Happy with the Marital Settlement Agreement and Parenting Plan that she helped me negotiate. Solid Attorney!

Smart, Detail Oriented, Compassionate and Honest Attorney

Niki is a brilliant, very detail oriented, responsive, honest and compassionate attorney. She was always very understanding and fair with both parts. Every time I had a question or concern, she was right there, she did not miss any detail. Niki is a very passionate and true professional, she guided m...e during the most difficult and painful situations. She treated me like a family member, showed me all my options with pure honesty and helped me take the best and reasonable decisions for my family. I am glad I had the best attorney during such difficult process. I strongly recommend her.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
