Nickolas Gregory Calkins

Nick represented me on a PPO case against my boyfriend's ex-wife. She tried everything to get the PPO terminated, but thankfully with Nick by my side, we won without question in court!! Nick was everything I was looking for in a lawyer; he investigated every angle, he is very sharp, knowledgable, cal...m, and collected. He was caring and compassionate towards me, but the opposite towards the other side. I recommend him 100% for any legal case you might have.

My girlfriend was facing the snowball effect of a Disorderly Person charge from her youth which had not been fully resolved as we had thought. The surprise of our lives came in the moment when she was spontaneously arrested on a bench warrant in Oakland County. The best decision we could have made in... the aftermath was hiring Nick Calkins and the Covert Law Firm. Nick showed his competence for the law immediately as we strategized how to put this behind us. My girlfriend was facing serious jail time and had everything on the line. Nick was always timely in his responses to ensure we were up to speed on everything and was always compassionate and understanding of our situation. Nick's arguments and filings with the court were praised by the Judge from the bench for their attention to detail and thoroughness and because of that, the Judge erased four years of fines that had accumulated and dismissed everything after a 45 day probationary period. If you find yourself in a bind like we did, DO NOT TRUST YOUR FREEDOMS TO ANYONE ELSE. Nick and Josh are the real deal and their advocacy shows in their client-centered approach. We could not be more grateful to Nick for all that he's done for us and we would recommend him instantly to anyone in need of representation.

On my second DUI with no personal lawyer, I googled DUI lawyers. The first result was the Nichols law firm, respectfully so. I went ahead and made a phone call and never looked back. I then consulted with Nick and when we spoke, he quickly relinquished any doubts I had in our conversation. So I hired... him to defend my case and it was the best decision I could have made. Nick worked to build a case for me through unrelenting hours. He never held back his opinion and supported me through my case and another one that followed a month later. He never gave up and helped me succeed in getting through my cases. Drunk driving is a harmful, selfish act that has consequences. However no amount of money is too much to have Nickolas represent you. I never second guessed my decision to hire him and neither will you if you are in the same situation.

I retained Nick for an OWI-high bac charge this past August. As someone who has never even had a parking ticket before, this was my first time ever having to retain legal counsel. I was scared/worried, ignorant, etc. Nick was very professional, knowledgeable, tactical and sincere. Throughout the ent...ire process Nick made sure I understood what was going on, and that I was comfortable. On the day of jury selection, I had a tough choice to make where I ended up taking a plea deal of OWVI. Beforehand, Nick sat down with me for over an hour (!), and we went through every scenario I was facing. I was very upset the entire time, but he was patient with me, and never once tried to sway my choice one direction or the other. Nick truly cared about my well- being even outside of the charges I was facing, and he will care about yours as well. He takes his job and his clients lives very seriously. Although I personally decided to take a plea for a number of reasons, I believe Nick would have done very well for me in trial. I do not plan to be in any kind of legal trouble again, but if I were, or someone I knew was, I would retain/ recommend him again.
