Griff Makini Nowicki

Griff assisted me with a step parent adoption. My stepson lost his father to a disease last year and my wife and I wanted to make him officially my legal son. Griff advised me on the legal ramifications of a step parent adoption and what to expect from the homestudy through the hearing. I had concer...ns about some legal trouble from the past affecting my opportunity to do this, but he seemed very optimistic and calmed my fears. He was available for questions, flexible in meeting with us, and reasonably priced. I am very happy that my wife and I chose Griff to help complete our family. I would encourage anyone to use him. He really listens and is very compassionate.

Griff helped me, as an independent contractor, deal with a client who was in breech of contract with a severely late payment. With Griff's assistance, and his law office, he helped expedite the process so that I received my payment in full, plus interest! I'd recommend Griff to anyone. He's really an... advocate for individuals and cares about getting results for his clients.

When my wife and I got divorced 5 years ago my attorney suggested I settle for shared custody of my three girls, 8, 6 & 2 years old at the time. He told me I wouldn't stand a chance at getting sole custody of them because my wife had never worked and had provided most of their primary care. The next ...two years were less then ideal for my daughters. I’d gone back to my attorney several times asking what I should do. Each time he told me I didn’t have a case because I couldn’t prove any of my accusations, and my daughters were too young to be reliable in court. He offered to hire a child psychologist on my behalf. He quoted me a price of $6000.00 for the services of the psychologist and himself, but assured me I’d get that which I was seeking. There was no way I wanted my girls subjected to all of this in order to buy custody of them. Two years after our original divorce hearing my ex-wife was charged with 4 counts of child endangering after leaving my girls and their 2 1/2 year old brother, not my son, at home to work her second shift job. When I contacted my current attorney he told me I still didn’t have a real case. He said she’d complete diversion and that would be the end of it. After this I searched the web to find an attorney. I came across Griff’s website and called him the next day. He took my case, scheduled payments for me, and took care of the rest. When our day in court I finally arrived, Griff had subpoenaed several willing teachers and family members who supported my accusations. My ex-wife quickly agreed to surrender custody of my girls. I never saw the inside of the courtroom. Griff had done everything he promised to do. Since then we’ve been back to court with the same results; I got everything I’d asked for without seeing the inside of the courtroom. I credit Griff with helping me provide my girls with a new lease on life. I would recommend him to anyone seeking a caring, compassionate, honest, and trust worthy attorney.
