Nicholas Thornton is an excellent defense attorney.

I was charged with driving on a suspended license in North Dakota District Court. Mr. Thornton explained to me exactly what my options were and how he could successfully obtain an agreement with the State's Attorney for a reduced charge carrying a far lighter sentence, and what I would be required to... do in order to facilitate this. I did exactly as instructed, and he achieved the outcome exactly as promised. He knows the law, has a good working relationship with the State's Attorney's Office, and is able to explain things in a very easy-to-understand manner. I would rely on him for any and all legal needs.

HELPED OUT IN A ROUGH TIME

I had multiple felony charges when I was to appear in court. I was extremely nervous and didnt know what to expect. All I knew is I wanted it to all go away and never commit another crime again. When I met with Nick Thorton before court on the phone, he was very helpful with helping understand all t...he options we could take. I told him that I was sorry that he had to waste time on a guy like me, and he assured me that I was not a waste of effort, but that he would help me get the help i truly needed. He made some arrangement with the court and got all but one felony dropped with no probation as long as I went to a treatment facility and stayed sober. This was two years ago, and I am happy to say that Nick's efforts on me and my case was not wasted. I am sober and now attending classes to become a pastor/teaching for the local church body. My family, children and I are all very happy today. Who knows what what would of happened if I would of went to prison. I'm glad Nick took an interest in me, and helped me get the help I needed.
