Personable, Practical, Professional

Mr Nigh was hired in my successful bid to terminate spousal support after 5 years of paying. i now live out of state so we never met face to face. in fact, i never had to appear in court. Mr Nigh’s conference calls, communication, ideas, recommendations, and exceptional support staff made the process... so much better than expected. i am very grateful and feel i can now turn completely toward my future without that burden weighing me down and impacting every choice i make. he has made my life easier, freer, and has certainly lightened my load. He was selected out of a dozen attorneys i found from online research and to whom i sent inquiries. he responded very quickly and set up a conference call before i had even heard from some of the others. i knew from the moment we first talked that he was my attorney and have not once regretted my choice. he was patient, diligent, and focused on achieving the right amount of evidence prior to filing the motion to terminate. i cannot thank him enough for all he did on my behalf.

Great Lawyer

My case took a turn for the worse 3 years into the litigation process and I was referred to Joe Nigh by another attorney. I was told he would be conscientious and industrious with my case. Upon first meeting Joe, you get the sense that he is a straight shooter and will tell it like it is. That's exac...tly what I needed. Unfortunately my case was so complex by the time I hired Joe that there was a lot of untangling that needed to happen in order to get my case pointed in the right direction. Joe's perseverance and tenacity never waivered. I felt extremely supported and very well represented. Joe kept on the straight and narrow and connected me with all the right people and eventually my case got turned around. It was a tremendous undertaking and I couldn't have had a better advocate for my case than Joe. I will be eternally grateful for the attention and care I was afforded by this law firm. I've even gone to Joe for other legal needs pertaining to my business and he referred me to the right people. Thank you Nigh Law Group.

excellent lawyer

Joseph came highly recommended, he handled a custody case for me. He was always available to me and his assistant, Lynn was fantastic also. They told me exactly what to expect and all was handled very professionally. Meeting Joe in person was a pleasant experience, he was prepared and I found ...him to be very personable, kind and down to earth.

Joe is the standard by which other attorneys should be held!

My case took a lot of unforeseen turns, but Joe and his co-counsel, Erin Sanford, stood by my side through every step. From the very first consultation, Joe gave me such clear insight and advice on how to proceed. I’ve struggled with writing this review, which Joe and the entire team at NLG would g...et a good laugh out of, as I’m rarely at a loss for words… However, I’m unsure how to adequately share all of his exceptional qualities in a few sentences. He sets the bar and is truly the standard by which other attorneys should be held. He is proactive, knowledgeable, honest, prepared, realistic, and truly dedicated to his clients. Although no one can predict the outcome of any custody dispute, you can be confident that Joe will always guide you in the right direction to obtain the best possible outcome for you and your child. NLG’s support staff (Lynn and Zach) are just as impressive as their counsel. Joe and Erin (Sanford) had my back during the scariest, most stressful time in my life thus far… For their patience, support, and guidance, I will always be grateful!

CHAOS in Hocking County

I had to secure an attorney to represent me: divorce. (Hocking County). During my initial consultation, Joe listened to my story. He was extremely honest with his concerns as to how things might turn out for me: not much in my favor. Yet, as the proceedings unfolded, continued, and so on- Joe ...and his staff were experienced, prepared and were ALWAYS ready to jump the hurdle, and/or tackle the next event or surprise. The outcome was EXTREMELY successful- IN MY FAVOR. THANKS to the skill, knowledge, and talent of Joe and his team! MANY THANKS TO JOE, COURTNEY, LYNN AND ZACH) Brenda
