Dismissed

Well that's what I heard the judge say this past Monday 10/05/20. Dismissed man I'm still in shock. No probation, no community service, no heavy court fines, no more restless nights. I was in an impossible situation charged with 3 rd offense OWI . And for a change made the best choice for hiring an A...ttorney Mr. Michael Nichols. Early on I was blitzed with emails from Mr. Nichols office on reports and documents and request that I didn't even know existed. Funny because when I received one of the emails from Michigan Secretary of State saying that the State Police were denied an appeal for adding points on my record for refusing breathalyzer. I knew right then that all the early ground work that Mr. Nichols was doing early on was paying dividends . He then pulled a brilliant tactic out of his hat that put a key witness on the spot and ultimately described me as looking like a member of ZZ Top. I'm far from that. Lol. I could see that him and the judge had a mutual respect for each other over the law. Mr. Nichols can recite the law from memory in a court room like no one I have ever seen. Keep in mind that this particular case was about 163 miles one way from Lansing. I have seen a few reviewers stating that Nichols Law Firm was a little to pricey . Well my opinion is you get what you pay for and I didn't feel that way . I felt like I really for a change didn't get ripped off. If you really want to get the best possible results in your case then I recommend that you call Nichols Law Firm ASAP.

Expertise and compassion

I cannot say enough about Mike Nichols. I am an attorney myself so I am very aware of what separates a good one from a great one. Mike is one of the rare Greats. Because of my profession, I was very concerned about my OWI charge and it’s potential impact on my career. Mike fought tirelessly on my beh...alf. He has mastered this area of the law, and his expertise brought me great comfort through the entire process. It also brought me a FANTASTIC result. He was always available to discuss my case and checked in with me regularly to see how I was doing with the stress. His sincere compassion and support made this a much less painful time in my life. His staff is also excellent. True professionals. If you find yourself in need of a criminal defense attorney, hire Mike Nichols. You will be glad you did.

Dedicated, thorough, and well prepared

I needed legal assistance in a non-criminal matter where my financial livelihood was at stake. I understand Mr. Nichols primarily deals with criminal matters, but he did not hesitate to help me. I often told Mike that he and his team encircled me, facing outward with their arms crossed. Mike is ex...tremely knowledgeable and dedicated. Mike works weekends preparing for the defense of his client. Because of this kind of assistance in protecting what is mine, I can retire when I am scheduled.

Thank you!

I am an international student that is pursuing my graduate level degrees here. Mike is very professional and friendly. He went through all the details with me when we first met, which gave me the confidence and good faith that I think he can definitely helped me. Later, we met several times to follow... up and he made a lot of good suggestions in terms of how to mitigate the negative impact on my records. The result turned out to be very satisfactory. I think he really put himself into my shoes and understand my concerns since we can’t afford any bad records. Highly recommended!

Heavyweight Champion of the Court Room

I retained Mike Nichols and the Nichols law firm for an OWI/traffic violation incident that happened to me in late 2017. After reviewing Mike’s website and meeting with him for a consultation, I decided to hire him to represent me in the matter. Mike is incredibly knowledgeable about the law, police ...procedures and the science involved with these types of cases. The end result was better than I thought I could hope for. Mike recognized that there were issues with how the field tests were administered and problems with the PBT. As a result, the warrant was denied as there was insufficient evidence to support a conviction and my license was reinstated. Mike even went the extra mile to get the speeding ticket portion reduced to a small fine and no points on my license! The outcome was a huge weight off my chest and I cannot thank Mike or his team at the Nichols law firm enough. I definitely have friends and co-workers experiencing similar legal issues right now and their stories make me so relieved to have chosen to work with Mike. Most importantly, in my opinion, is how frustrated they are by the lack of communication that they have with their attorneys. Mike and the Nichols law firm communicated with me constantly. Within a few days of getting anything from the court in the mail, I would have an envelope from Mike’s office with another copy of the document along with a letter explaining what it was and how it fit into my case. Even if we had already discussed these things or if I had been told to expect them, that extra step to keep me in the loop was so helpful and it made me feel like I had a little bit of control back in my life. I would absolutely recommend Mike and the Nichols law firm to anyone experiencing a similar legal problem. Hiring Mike was the best possible decision I could have made given the circumstances. At the very least, take a look at his website. Mike has so much helpful information available. It is a great place to start understanding what is happening to you. If that does not convince you, meet with a few other attorneys and then schedule a consultation with Mike and I think the difference will be obvious. Thanks again Mike!
