Nicholas J.B. Pasquale

Nicholas is truly an expert in his field. I had a family/separation issue that was quite a mess. Nick cleaned it up with minimal court time and alleviated major stress off of my shoulders. He puts himself in your shoes as if it was his own problem. Great attorney. I would not hesitate to use him again if need be.

I spoke to Nick regarding a potential case I have, to see what kind of options I have. I'm a single dad, seeing what I can do to get more placement with my child. Nick gave me different options to consider, explained things very clearly, and gave me a timeline of when to engage in these options. I appreciate all the advice. I highly recommend at least speaking to Nick for any information you're looking for. Thank you!

For my divorce, I first hired a lawyer from a large Appleton law firm which markets itself as essentially the best in the fox valley. However, after never receiving return calls or emails from that lawyer, I fired her. I thereafter met with Nic and hired him the same day. In stark contrast to my first lawyer, Nic was always prompt in returning calls and emails, and just generally keeping me apprised of events. I found Nic to be a down-to-earth person who focuses on pragmatically solving problems. Some background: my marriage was 20-plus years in length; I work in a the financial industry; my income varies, but I have consistently netted six-figures, annually, for the last nine years; my ex-wife, aside from the first year or so of our marriage, did not work throughout our marriage; and my youngest child (of two) was in his senior year of high school. My divorce, like most, was highly stressful and emotionally draining. During the divorce case, it seemed that my ex-wife was not the person I knew at all and that she became hyper-focused on receiving more of our assets than me and, as well, receiving money from me in the form of alimony. She didn't want to work or make any effort to re-enter the workforce; rather, she wished to continue her jobless and leisured lifestyle. Granted, she was a great stay-at-home mother when our children were growing-up; however, both of our children were adults, with one attending college and the other about to do the same. Quite simply, she just had no desire to seek any form of employment – part-time or otherwise. On top of the division of assets and retirement accounts that amounted to substantial amounts to be allocated to her, she requested that I pay her alimony for roughly $5,000 per month on an indefinite basis. Her level of greed, quite frankly, was stunning. Often, during the divorce, I would find myself incensed at my ex-wife's conduct and become extremely reactionary to my emotions. In turn, this often would cause me to get ahold of Nic and ask that he do this and do that in my case. Nic would always respond with solid advice. If my requests were clearly attributable to emotion and had no basis in logic or strategy, he would give me his opinion to such end and calm me down. Unlike most lawyers who are quick to turn a profit by exploiting the emotional charge that often attaches to people in divorce cases, Nic would advise me that we should preserve resources and keep our eyes on the goal and relentlessly adhere to strategy based in logic. In other words, he had a “win the war” -- and not a win every battle -- approach. He was very honest in that regard and it made me realize that he took serious my best interests (even if I did not recognize my own best interests at the time) versus opportunistically benefiting from the circumstances by increasing his billable hours against me. I have no doubt that my fees would have been double, if not treble, in amount had Nic not reined me in on several instances during my emotionally charged episodes. In the end, Nic was able to secure a great outcome for me. I have learned that nobody truly “wins” in a divorce (financially or otherwise), but rather that a divorce is more about accepting the hard-and-fast confines of Wisconsin family law and aiming for an favorable result within those confines. That is exactly what Nic accomplished for me. Among other things, he rightly convinced the judge to impute income to my ex-wife (who has a bachelors in accounting). While I must pay alimony, it is substantially lower than what she sought. Nic really prepared for the final hearing. He was much better equipped than my wife’s attorney and simply put-forth both a better presentation and case. As far as my favorable outcome, I credit entirely Nic’s hard work and commitment to me as his client. I have little doubt that it would have been unpleasantly different had I hired anyone other than Nic. I recommend him to anyone in need of a phenomenal divorce lawyer.

I retained Nic Pasqaule for a post-divorce case brought by my ex-wife who wanted me to pay her more alimony per month. Because she initiated the court case for more money than originally agreed upon by her and approved by the judge when we got divorced, I figured I would ask the judge just to end my alimony payments all together. Nic got started right away. He shot off requests to obtain her updated financial information and inquired about her live-in, 3.5-year boyfriend. We discovered that they were sharing expenses, had a joint bank account and, essentially, were living like a married couple. We also discovered that she had commented to a friend that the reason she was avoiding marrying the guy was so she could continue to receive alimony from me. Nic discovered all of this and exposed it to the judge. Nic mastered the background and knew my ex's financial situation better than she did in court. It was actually entertaining to watch. Ultimately, I won and my alimony obligation was terminated for good with only one last final, small payment to my ex. Now my ex-wife cannot come back for any more money from me. I could not have done this without without Nic. Even my ex-wife, about a month after all the court was done, said she wished she would have hired Nic instead of the lawyer she did. Nic is a beast of a lawyer! Kept me informed constantly and even would call me on his cell phone any time I needed him. If you need an awesome lawyer to get results, hire Nic Pasquale.

From the moment I first talked to Nick I was impressed. I had gone to see another attorney before him who basically said I was dumb and had no chance against my ex-wife. Nick took ownership of my case as if it were his own and his superior knowledge set us on path for success. He fought hard to get the best outcome for me which in turn got my house back to me. I trust Nick and have recommended him to several friends.

Attorney Pasquale was a lifesaver when it came to me case, he was very reassuring and informative and easy to contact. I felt that my best interests were truly a priority to him, and he made this difficult process much less stressful for me. I highly recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance!

My case is minor compared to some legal cases. Nicholas, was prompt to return my call and gave me many options with my case. He was there to help me and not judge. me. He is compassionate , extremely knowledgeable and listens to you. I am not sure what I am option I am going to take right now, but if I need an attorney to represent me, no doubt I will hire Nicholas!!

Nicholas Pasquale helped me out more than i ever expected. He was extremely patient and understanding during the entire process of my child placement case. I know that if i ever have questions or need help i can count on him and the rest of the firm. I have recommended him to countless people and always get great feed back from everyone that contacts him.

Mr Pasquale was quick to respond to my needs. He put me at ease at our first meeting. If the news was good or bad he explained every. He left no stone unturned. I highly recommend Mr Pasquale for your leagle needs and counseling.

I am very pleased with the advice and work from Mr. Pasquale since his passing the bar... I have complete faith in his integrity, honesty, knowledge of law, and work ethic. His assistance has served me well in family and financial affairs.
