The Very Best

Approachable, professional, efficient, and effective. While hard to find all these characteristics in in singular attorney, Nicole Kersten could run a Master Class for each. We were selling a rental property. Nicole and her staff could not have made it easier for us. We were grateful for her guid...ance and professionalism throughout the process.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
