Outstanding results, outstanding service

I wanted to share my experience with the Nichols Law Firm and Mike Nichols specifically. I hired Mike and his firm to help with an OVI charge not my first unfortunately. Mike's knowledge of the law the local district and circuit court was impeccable. Mike held my hand throughout the process and my... wife's and was able to obtain the best possible outcome. His firm stayed on top of all the correspondence and kept me informed throughout the whole stressful process. I would recommend the Nicholas Law Firm to anyone in need of help!

This is an awesome story. I really felt on this case where understanding a little twist got us a very good result all things considered.

Without Reservation

I fully endorse Mike Nichols without reservation. Unfortunately, I have needed the services of several dui defense attorneys in the last 1.5 years. As a doctor with many high powered attorneys for friends, I chose my representation from the cream of the crop. Of the 4 attorneys I collaborated with..., Mike was the most thorough, professional, and knowledgeable. Because I was headed to jury trial, I needed a calm, personable attorney who was capable of persuading people. I needed a polished orator. This is where Mike clearly outshines his colleagues. Mike also has extensive knowledge of the science behind blood alcohol testing. He can sit in a room of chemists and doctors and participate fully in the scientific discussions. This allowed him to look through my case with a fine toothed comb and identify numerous errors during the collection and processing of my blood sample. He is also uniquely able to convey these difficult scientific principles to less educated jurors. I was very impressed that at one of my preliminary hearings, Mike took the time to confer with me and double check all his notes as the court room sat in silence, waiting for him to get frazzled and sit down. Every time he neared finishing with a witness he would take his time to make sure he had covered all of his bases before he dismissed them. All eyes were on him; everyone wanted him to move on, but he stayed calm and owned the floor.

Highly Recommend

Mike Nichols and his entire legal team in one word: Professionals. From the minute I spoke to Mr. Nichols, he began to remedy my legal problems. As a young college student who had never been in trouble with the law before, this was a life-changing experience. My arrest for OWI was a difficult event, ...but Mike was there for me from the beginning. My confidence in Mr. Nichols and his team only grew after we met in person. Throughout my experience with the Nichols Firm I have been extremely impressed with his office staff and colleagues. They have treated me with respect, kindness, and honesty. They are always willing to lend a hand in any questions or issues that arose. What has impressed me even more is Mr. Nichols extensive knowledge in OWI/DUI defense. As a first time offender for OWI, I had little knowledge myself, and there can be many myths about laws and procedure out there. Mr. Nichols dispelled many of the common perceptions about OWI offenses and the consequences that come with it. Mike's experience with OWI law was integral to my defense, which was superb. As to my defense itself, Mr. Nichols is a skilled attorney who is knowledgeable and proactive. He would always take the time to answer any of my questions and kept me up to date with the latest information related to my case in real time. He is excellent to work with, and as a result, his courtroom presence is amazing. It is clear he has taken the time to foster good relationships with the judges, prosecuting attorneys, and courtroom employees. I have full confidence in Mike Nichols and his law firm to represent anyone in a criminal defense matter, especially OWI cases. Mr. Nichols and his law firm are very talented and experienced. You will not be disappointed in retaining his services.

Gets Results.

I was arrested for an OWI and this being the first time I got in any serious trouble I was quite clueless about how everything works. While interviewing other attorneys, Mike Nichols immediately caught my attention with his professionalism and knowledge of the system. I provided him with the informat...ion and he worked fast and efficiently to put everything in order, making me feel much more calm and comfortable about the situation. He is an outstanding litigator, when in a hearing with the police officer who arrested me I witnessed Mike turn the officer inside out with legal information and facts that left the officer stumbling over his words. When I was arrested I refused the breathalyzer, therefore my license was suspended for one year. Mike immediately obtained a court ordered hardship/restricted license, so not only was he working with my OWI charge, he also handled my driving permit with the Secretary of State. When discussing possible outcomes it seemed I would at least receive an impaired driving. Mike was very persistent with the prosecutor and very good at keeping me informed throughout the whole process. I was amazed to find out the OWI charge would be dismissed and it only resulted in a careless driving...with no probation! To say the least, I was very impressed and dumbfounded that these results were achievable, when interviewing another attorney he said there was only a 5% chance of this happening. My confidence in the Nichols Law Firm is extremely high, I trust the decisions he made because I know he always looked out for my best interest. I recommend Mike Nichols to anyone with a DUI related incident, his knowledge and experience is second to none.

Vindication.

Mike just finished representing me in a DUI case that ended with a dismissal. It was a long and arduous process that ended up taking 22 months. The outcome of my case also had an impact on my professional license ( since I am licensed through the State ). Mike did an excellent and thorough job with... my case. Mike not only impressed me with his legal expertise and court presentation but also in his emotional support that allowed me to stay the course and realize complete vindication. Thanks, Mike.
