Sharp and articulate....

I retained Nick when i was blindsided in a custody battle. Nick was very informative and very percise in his strategy and execution. He prepared my case very well. We won our first appeal. The other party objected and we were set for a de novo hearing however we won on technicality (other lawyers inc...ompetence) which was ok with me because he put my son first and did not gamble although he could have easily won. Bottom line is he is a very smart and very committed. I know this will be one of many battles and i will plan on retaining him in the future. I would highly recommend him to anyone. You want a lawyer that's going to be prepared and it was very strategic with his game plan.

my opinion

5 stars doesnt even accommodate for how much he fought for my case.. he did an excellent job communicating with me while I was his client I never felt like he was keeping me in the dark..he was always up front and truthful and he let you know the outcome either way good or bad...he got what I wanted ...out of the case plus more..he kept up on his paper work and all the leads he had as well.. he gave it 120 percent everytime he looked at the case ..nick in my daughters eyes is her hero now!! I would most defiantly reefer nick to anyone that needed a lawyer ....thank you nick for everything you have done for me and my family...words still cant describe how thankful we truly are!!

Personable, knowledgeable, great legal strategy. Outstanding lawyer!

I was referred to Nick Calkins by an acquaintance, and I will forever be grateful that I was. Throughout my entire legal process, I never once felt out of the loop or confused about the next step. Every course of action available was explained in great detail, so I always felt comfortable in the deci...sions we were making. Nick was very meticulous, responsive, and tirelessly worked to achieve the best outcome in my case. He would be an excellent choice for any criminal matter, and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
