Protecting your Impulsive Teenager

For the parents that find themselves in a legal predicament with their teenager DO NOT TRY TO DO IT ALONE! The judicial system will eat your kid alive. Reach out to Mr. Nichols. As a parent, you cannot put a price tag on protecting your child. Don’t let them take the risk of destroying their futu...re because of a stupid, impulsive mistake they made. Mr. Nichols will not only guide you and your child through the legal process, he will make sure all options and legal ramifications are clearly understood. He will never make your child feel bad about what they have done. He understands and can relate to teenagers. He sees they are not bad kids, as we as parents already know. He will take the time to get to know your kid and even go as far as trying to find the root of why they made the mistake. Then the legal process starts and you cannot ask for anyone better to be in your kid’s court. Mr. Nichols will handle your case with extreme knowledge and compassion. I am the proud mother of a now wonderful 27 year old who went through those stupid, impulsive teenager years and Mr. Nichols seen the good in him and stood up for him through his legal issues and protected him from himself. I am also the proud mother of a 17 year old who made ONE impulsive decision that pulled him into the judicial system. For 7 months, it weighed on us and dragged out. My son was jumping through hoops and still failing along the way. I knew we couldn’t continue on our own and reached out to Mr. Nichols. One month after that initial meeting, my son’s legal predicament was gone! Mr. Nichols received a much better settlement of his case then we could ever have imagined. I know have a 17 year old with his entire future ahead of him with no black marks, because of Mr. Nichols. I also have a 17 year old that is not copping an attitude of “getting off” but understanding that he’s been given a second chance. If you make the decision to retain Mr. Nichols, you are guaranteeing that your case will be handled with the best possible legal expertise and compassion that you could expect.

OWI Medical school

Weeks prior to my 21st birthday I was charged with a zero tolerance OWI, refusal of preliminary breath test, and driving with a suspended license. I am months away from applying to medical school and these charges would surely have taken me out of consideration. Mike was referred by a friend and afte...r consulting with him and doing some research it was clear that he was the best person for the job. Not only does Mike have the knowledge, experience, and persistence needed to handle matters as dicey as a DUI, he also has connections within the court system. My biggest worry was dealing with something that would forever be on my criminal record, and after months of worry Mike managed to bring my charges down to a careless driving and a littering charge (both civil infractions). I owe my future to the Nichols law firm and would highly recommend them to anyone dealing with a OWI/DUI case in the lansing area.

He is extremely knowledgeable, works tirelessly to defend your rights, and is willing to take a case to trial, if needed, to get the best result. Throughout the process, he kept us well informed, answered all ...of our questions, and showed such compassion for our daughter. In the courtroom, Mike is exceptional! He listens intently and picks up on things that most people miss. When he speaks, he is articulate and knows exactly what questions to ask and how to ask them. His demeanor is professional and humble at the same time; earning the respect of everyone in the room. Mike Nichols really is a Super Lawyer!! We can't thank him enough for giving our daughter her life back!

Historic Victory

Mike Nichols and his team were able to deliver a well earned victory for me in an extremely public, complex, and historic case. Their hard work and thoroughness in combing through mountains of discovery showed in Nichol's adeptness in choosing and questioning witness as well as his performance insi...de and outside of the courtroom. The Nichol's team was accessible, answered my questions, and kept me up to date on any changes happening with my case. They won the day through their research and knowledge of applicable case law, applying it to the elements of my charges, and combining it into a individualized winning strategy which took all the unique facets of my case into account. I am very thankful that I had the Representation of Mike Nichols and his law team, and appreciate the sensitivity and dedication they gave in handling my case all the way through.
