This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Knowledgeable, and ethical.

I had the opportunity to consult with Nick on a minor real-estate issue and he responded to my questions in an honest and straightforward way and did not make up any complexities to encourage an engagement. If I needed an attorney I would definitely engage him.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Knowledgeable, thoughtful, and conscientous attorney

I reached out to Mr. Weiss's office about a legal concern and scheduled a free phone consultation for the following day. Mr. Weiss called me on time and very thoroughly and honestly explained the details of my case and how the various aspects of the law applied. He answered all my questions thoughtfu...lly and displayed thorough knowledge of relevant statutes. Even though he couldn't take my case (due to my needing to file in a different jurisdiction), he did guide me on multiple options for how to proceed. He clearly cares about getting justice for his clients and I would recommend him highly to anyone who needs representation in Ohio.

Worst Attorney

This guy is the worst attorney in Cleveland. Assured me every step of the way that we were in good shape, meanwhile he is having phone conference with opposing council and judge that we are settling. Never tells me about email he sent to opposing council or phone conference with judge. Then there is ...another phone conference that he doesn’t tell me what it is for. It’s for enforcement of agreement I am unaware of. He still assures me that at our court date that we will prevail. Not only do we lose it costs me another $4,500 in opposing legal fees. This guy is poor at his job and a poor communicator.

I'm happy to respond to this review. Our firm maintains a high level of communication with all clients. We utilize a firm management system to put all client communications in one location, and ensure that clients are made aware of all aspects of their case, including a choice to break an enforceable settlement agreement that was already agreed to.

Question about postnuptial agreements

Nicholas was very knowledgeable about current legislations and clearly explained the current situation with them and how they affected my current situation. Very helpful!

Unprofessional/slow to respond...

....i was expecting to receive the opinion and/or results of research from Nick, the licensed attorney. He said "he," was going to look into it and let me know what he found out. Ive waited nearly a week for nothing; wasting my time to receive an answer as promised; showing unprofessionalism an...d lack of regard for such a time sensitive matter. *I emailed three times to follow up for an answer. I would "not," recommend the Weiss Law Firm to anyone seeking legal advice or representation.

Hi Vanessa, I've reviewed my emails for the past several weeks and I do not see an email from someone with your name, but I do have an opposing party in a case named Vanessa. Please feel free to reach out to me with any issues. Sincerely, Nick Weiss

"I have worked with Nicholas since we were both in law school. While we largely represent clients who are adverse to each other, Nicholas has always fought hard for his clients and displayed great professionalism. He is also a good sounding board for certain legal arguments as we both see different sides to the same coin."

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.
