Bo Murphy, Divorce and separation Attorney on Mar 18, 2016
Relationship: Worked for lawyer
I had the privilege of clerking for Nick and Larry during law school. Now being a practicing lawyer myself, I can wholeheartedly say that Nick's work is the model of excellence in the field and what every family lawyer should strive to emulate. I consider myself very lucky to call Nick my mentor and friend.

Rachel Lambert, Divorce and separation Attorney on Aug 1, 2013
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer.
Sheree Hoffman, Family Attorney on Mar 7, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I have had the opportunity to mediate many of Nick's divorce matters. He is very smart, knows the law and is a skilled negotiator. As a mediator, I always enjoy working with Nick. He is aggressive when it benefits his client but also knows when it is in his client's best interest to be reasonable and collaborative. I would recommend this fine attorney.
