From the night I was arrested till yesterday, I could not sleep and was restless. I walked in home yesterday hugged my family and heaved a sign of relief. I never thought this day would ever come! Yes I did make a mistake that night however not every attorney I spoke to understood the same after my r...eturn from jail on that dreadful night , so on one side my world was falling apart and on the other I had to finalize an attorney prior to the arraignment date . I felt comfortable speaking to Mike right after my first conversation with him (I emailed him and he called me back in minutes and yes it was a weekend!) Mike understands the entire system, and especially for me came as a miracle due to my slightly complicated case because of my upcoming international travel and being in US on a non immigrant visa. He and his team worked with me right from day 1 and kept me informed at every stage, understood my problem, visa issues and my inability to go to trial in the limited timeframe. My OWI was reduced to careless driving yesterday (in my pre trial conference)and it was the best Christmas gift ever for me and my family .Thanks Mike we owe it all to you! For everyone out there if you ever get stuck in a DUI situation in Michigan call Mike, he understands the system and works with you to get you out of it because everyone deserves a second chance.

Mike, has one objective: His pocketbook. He gave poor advice. He overcharged for emails, letters and dragged things out with no better ending results. I would find another attorney that has some empathy for his clients. This was my first offense of any kind and he took advantage of me. I don't ...know how he sleeps at night.

Without hesitation I would recommend Mike Nichols as your lawyer. Mike is the absolute best professional I have ever hired or worked with. I have known great people in many different professions: medical, legal, financial, real estate. No one comes close to matching the skill set, comfortable... personality, seriousness and devotion that Mike shows his clients and their cases. His exceptional staff is also a reflection of his own devotion to his clients. When you hire a lawyer you are hiring someone to represent you during one of the most trying times in your life. You want someone that is good at what they do. You want someone that is accessible and you want someone who will aggressively represent your interests. Mike does all that. It was clear during my divorce that Mike out-worked, out-prepared and out-lawyered the other side. Mike had my back, and that of my child, throughout the litigation. For that I will be forever grateful.

When I met Mike, it was regarding my 3rd alcohol related traffic offense. I was a mess suffering anxiety, and stress. His demeanor and knowledge of the laws relating to my situation. He was calm, confident, knowledgeable, polite, empathetic, and even funny. He paid attention to details. He was w...hat I needed in that tense situation. He came highly recommended by another attorney of mine. After meeting Mike, I knew I had hired the best representation possible. Over 3 or 4 decades, I have engaged attorneys for different needs, but Mike Nichols was the best I've dealt with in my life. His results for me were excellent and his fees were reasonable.
