Excellent Lawyer, Nick and his Team made a difference

When our family experienced the loss of a loved one due to negligence on the part of a care center, we were forced to seek legal counsel. Nick Rowley met with us at our home and as we discussed the events that lead to the death, he agreed to take the case. Mr. Rowley was well aware that while this ...case was certainly warranted, that the awards in rural communities are low. What impressed us most about Mr. Rowley and his associates was that they took the case to bring attention to the care being received at this facility, not for any potential profit that they might make. His firm worked tirelessly on our behalf for several years. They dug into background of the facility, the various corporations and individuals involved with the facility, the other accidents that had been reported at the facility and interviewed countless people. They did an excellent job of keeping us well informed throughout the process as they were, piece by piece, building the case. When the case finally came to trial, some 3 years after the accident, the teams that Mr. Rowley had assembled from multiple states meet with our family and laid out the plan of action. The team as a whole worked tirelessly for weeks while the case was laid out piece by piece. While the local judge seemed to be somewhat biased against our cause, Mr. Rowley proceeded in an extremely professional manner. At the end of the week-long trial, the jury ruled in our favor. While the monetary sum awarded by the jury was large by local standards, it was certainly not much compared to the types of cases Mr. Rowley usually handles. We seriously doubt that the expenses of the team were met when all was said and done. We were extremely happy with the outcome of the trial. We now feel that the death of our loved one was not in vain. It was our goal, and it continues to be our hope, that the care at this center is improved so that no other person, or no other family, ever has to go through just a horrific accident at the center. The fact that there was an accident was one thing, but the fact that there was no action taken to get proper medical attention for our father after the accident is simply not acceptable. We feel strongly that without the assistance of Mr. Rowley, and his well-prepared team, this case would have gone unnoticed, and that the care center would have continued to collect money from unsuspecting families who thought that they were providing care and protection for those who needed help the most. Thanks Mr. Rowley, we sincerely appreciate all you and your associates did on our behalf.

Stay away from Nick

Nick does not listen to me. He did not seem to believe in my story or my case. He did not appear in court when I needed him to do so. He did not keep me well informed. I am stressed as I needed money badly and still do. I kinda regret I hired him

No idea who this person is which puts me at a disadvantage in responding. There are only three clients I can think of in over 12 years of practice and hundreds of clients who would say something like this and I have my sides to the story which I think would shed different light on the truth of things. I had never asked clients to post positive reviews about me on Avvo or any other online consumer internet based rating system of lawyers and now am going to do so. I would caution people looking for lawyers to make the choice to hire or not hire a lawyer based on things written on the internet that are both good and bad. In other words, just because a bunch of good stuff is said about a lawyer doesn't mean it is all true. Look at the case results, look at a lawyer's history of wins, real wins in the courtroom, find out the last time the lawyer you are considering stepped foot in front of a jury and won a case and how many trials that lawyer has in the past 5 years in front of a jury. Many lawyers who hold themselves out as lawyers don't even litigate, all they do is run a operation where they talk big and refer cases out. I am the lawyer others call when a case is going to trial and where a real result is necessary. At the age of 36 I have approximately 100 jury trials under my belt and hundreds of millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements. I am a trial lawyer. And, when I take a case to trial I live and breathe that case and the human beings I am standing up for. Feel free to read my book Trial By Human to learn more about me.
