This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

EEOC Disabled vet case

I requested an adjusted in my work schedule because of my veterans disability. Instead my employer demoted me from full-time to part-time. Nick negotiated a really nice settlement for back pay and future pay and I got to leave that company. He pushed for me and got it done quickly. His staff is very... professional and kept me informed on the case status. I talked to the paralegal more than Nick, but she was very knowledgeable and patient in answering my questions. I was very impressed with Nick's representation of me, and I would recommend him to anyone else needing representation in this area.

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.
