Review John Nicholson

Excellent Attorney

Posted by TracyWed Nov 13 2019

John was fast to respond with my concerns. He was helpful answering my questions even though I was not looking to hire an attorney I will hire him now since my claim was denied. Excellent person.

SSD Case

Posted by anonymousTue May 03 2016

Mr Nicholson spent 40 minute with me during my initial consultation. He was knowledgeable and understanding of my situation. I finally have a date for my Social Security Disability hearing. His office staff has educated me regarding the process going forward. I am optimistic about my hearing with the judge.
