Great Divorce Atttorney

Nicole represented me in my divorce in 2014 and she was simply phenomenal. She has a great understanding of the law and of people. She is communicative and professional, and does an excellent job of explaining the law when you are going through a hard time and are emotional. I was and continue to ...be very happy with her services, even when I didn't like the law. Anyone would be lucky to have Nicole representing them.

Marco Destefanis

I was extremely happy with Nicole's professional support in my (very complex) case of international divorce and custody which thanks to Nicole and Dori Morales incredible support I eventually won. Nicole is very knowledgable and organized: a perfect match to work with world famous Dori Morales and I ...am sure one day Nicole will be able to have her own practice meanwhile she is learning from the Best. from a personal level I always appreciated the personal touch of Nicole which is a rare gift but so important for clients who are going through family issues. Thank you Nicole!

Highly Recommended

Nicole is a phenomenal lawyer – smart, result driven, empathic. She assisted me with my divorce, and I was very happy to have her on my team. She was always easily accessible to address my concerns or answer any questions; and do so in a calm efficient manner. I felt comfortable communicating with he...r as she was unceasingly compassionate, yet level headed, and always 100 % focused on helping my case. She advocated for me like I was her family member. She has my highest recommendations.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
