Operations & Independant Contractor Agreements

Nick is a fantastic source of information and knowledge. He listens to what you want, clarifies any areas needing it, and delivers quickly! I highly recommend him.

Great Talker, Bad Follow Through

Really trusted this guy with insight around money, assets and investments. Unfortunately he used the trust we had built to get us to invest into a personal buisness he had started. We lost 15k in this failed business. He is still attempting to sell these online stores so beware if you hire him. Im no...t sure if he is a great con man, or an unwise buisness man. Either way I would not trust your money with him.

Thank you for sharing. I sense your anger. I'm very sorry for the situation you're in You refer to participating in a business venture that was not successful. A business venture separate from Costaras Law? Perhaps sharing how you feel online would be more appropriate on a different platform? As opposed to doing so in a review for Costaras Law? Sending love, and wishing you the best.

Kind Heart, Sharp Mind

Mr. Costaras was a privilege to work with. He was patient and caring in answering all of the questions I had in regards to setting up a trust. He is very knowledgeable in the area of creating financial security for the future. He is a rare gem in the world of law. Genuine and caring and he delivers e...xceptional work.

Nicholas Costara Review

Nicholas prepared a complete Estate Planning Portfolio for me. He explained a Living Trust for me and set it up along with a new will, health care power of attorney, and financial power of attorney. He was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything in easy to understand terms. The paperwork ...was completed flawlessly and in the time promised.

A mindful and efficient expert.

I fist met Nick at our open house as a yoga student. Since, Nick Costaras has helped our yoga studio manage the risks involved in our growth including client and employee contracts, release waivers, and has answered many questions simple and complicated with thoughtful consideration to our specific ...needs. For any new or experienced entrepreneur who wants peace of mind, I highly recommend Nick Costaras, the mindful lawyer.

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.
