Thorough and Dedicated

Joe was referred to me by a lawyer with a different field of expertise. Unfortunately, I experienced a high-conflict divorce and subsequent contentious issues with the finalized separation agreement and shared parenting plan. Joe assisted me with the latter. My case was extremely complicated and invo...lved a great deal of detail. Joe was thorough, and his team included multiple paralegals who were also highly competent (Thank you Lynn and Rachel!) Joe is a no BS, direct attorney who was up front with my magistrate about the issues at hand. He always responded to my emails and cared about my case even after the case concluded. Additionally, he listened to what was most important to me and helped negotiate to that end.

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.

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

FIVE STARS PLUS

Joseph Nigh was our attorney for a difficult child custody case. Joe and his staff were friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and always quick to respond to our questions. We had complete confidence in whatever steps Joe pursued with the court. He always made sure we were in agreement as he guide...d us through the process. He was prepared, detailed, and no nonsense during our hearings. But as his client, we found him very approachable and very easy to talk to when discussing our options or concerns. Joe has an excellent ability to suggest alternative solutions during stressful situations. I would not hesitate to hire Joe again and would highly recommend him to anyone searching for a good attorney.
