Changed my life

Nakisha changed my life in more ways than I will ever be able to express. I went to Western Michigan University's nursing program and found myself on the receiving end on some unfair treatment that almost cost me my career. I was referred to Ms Chaney because of her educational experience and could n...ot have asked for a better representation. Her excellent professionalism and communication skills made one of the most difficult times of my life go as smoothly as I could have hoped. She stood behind me and facilitated teamwork and cohesiveness in a situation that would have been impossible had I done it alone. Nakisha is a big part of the reason that I was able to graduate at all, let alone only one semester behind my intended date rather than a full year. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for legal representation!

University Graduate Student Appeal

I hired Nakisha after I was terminated as a graduate student for"failing" a clinical rotation that had undertones of discrimination. I had appealed the decision without success on my own and the University was ignoring any evidence of discrimination I presented. With Nakisha's help I finally had an e...xpert on my side and had a seat at the bargaining table. She extremely knowledgeable about ADA practices, and has working relationships with Big Ten University lawyers. Her presence at the table was respected! She was able to negotiate my terms to repeat the clinical rotation with proper ADA accommodations. On March 10th, 2017 I passed my clinical rotation with flying colors! I finished my doctorate and I am on to a great career! I highly recommend hiring Nakisha for any school appeal process regarding ADA laws, without any reservations.

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.
