Nickolas Gregory Calkins

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.

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.
