BEST LAWYER EVER USED

Attorney Nicholas Thornton successfully resolved an identity fraud case involving an active warrant for me without me actually having to come to Fargo, ND in person. My True Identity fraud specialist suggested that I just go to Fargo, ND as soon as possible and surrender to the suspected charge witho...ut first consulting with and having a lawyer. It is good that I did not follow his suggestion. If I did, my life would have been in jeopardy for possibly years. On the other hand, just making a simple telephone call to Nicholas Thornton's office and providing him with my personal details to investigate the matter was all it took to resolve the criminal case. He simply spoke with the district attorney about the matter and the circumstances of how it all happened. Ultimately, he was able to get the district attorney to drop the charge, including the warrant within a week. This was all done at NO charge to me. It is good to know that there is still an individual out there today that is not motivated by money and greed. I really appreciate his effort in successfully and quickly resolving this criminal matter. I wish this particular attorney was licensed here in NY and the surrounding states. He would be the first attorney that I would recommend to anyone, including friends and family members, needing legal assistance. He appears to have a proven track record of successfully winning cases for his client and settling them out of court, therefore earning great honor, trust, and respect. He deserves a five-star rating and metal of honor.

Legal Assistance from Another State

I was involved in an accident with a golf cart. Nick kept me informed throughout the process. I have great trust in his ability to help me through the legal process to get fair treatment by the court.

No I did not hire Mr. Thornton, he gave excellent advice.

Mr. Thornton told me any appeal of my conviction would be more or less futile. He did help me deliver a deposition that was made regarding my conviction to my probation officer. This cost me $90 but that was only the processing charge. Mr. Thornton did not make a dime. He has restored my trust in... attorneys. Mr. Thornton could have asked for a large retainer and don nothing, like most attorneys. I am very glad to have contacted him, he was very prompt and helpful; and, as I said, he did not make a dime! My situation with the ND DOCR has changed. My trial attorney charged me 20,000 and did not even see that this important document went before the court. Thank you Mr. Thornton!
