NMS Family Law Firm. Truly the BEST.
I can’t have more praise for this law firm. 5 stars is not enough.In my hour of need they were there, Arthea & Nicole are caring, honest, professionals and just plain fighters for YOUR rights. Arthea didn’t miss a thing, her and Nicole went over my case piece by piece and I was fully prepared for court and my case. They cut my Divorce maintenance payments more than 1/2. Also, always keeping me abreast of my case, and there fees were very good, and they worked with me. BOTTOM LINE: if you need the best family law firm, Hire the NMS Family Law Firm. You will be GLAD you did.

Excellent Attorney, Goes The Distance For Clients
Nicole is a results-oriented attorney that is passionate about the work she does for families. Throughout my family law case, Nicole has been transparent, updating me with findings as information becomes available. Nicole not only champions for the causes important to the families she serves, but she partners with you along the way, ensuring you are comfortable throughout the process. Nicole understands how important her role is And she work tirelessly to advocate for her clients. Upon retaining Nicole as my attorney, I have since received child support and she introduced a correspondence platform to help facilitate communication with the co-parent. Nicole is nothing short of amazing and I am happy to partner with her on my case. If you are in search of an attorney that is passionate, diligent, fiery and practical, Nicole Scott is the attorney to have on your side.

Top Notch Attorney
Oh my, where do I begin. Nicole literally went above and beyond for my situation. I attempted at a divorce for about 2 years with my ex. It was hell. After Nicole stepped in, she uncovered the root of the issues and literally solved all my problems within 2 months. She was able to execute a very thorough settlement agreement that allowed this Divorce to happen. My ex, who before was unwilling to settle on anything settled 1 week after Nicole worked her magic. I’m so internally grateful to her. Please choose her as your attorney. You WILL NOT be disappointed.

Great Lawyer and Service
I cannot heap enough praise upon working with Nicole. I would strongly recommend her services to anyone who is looking for a family lawyer. Nicole was very professional with me by responding to me with any questions that I had throughout the whole process. I was very satisfied with my results and very pleased with her services and the price that they agreed to help me with my case I highly recommend for anyone else.

Ms. Scott gets things done!
Nicole was super helpful in working with me and my ex to update our child care arrangements. She took the time to ask questions and learn about our situation, help us through all the paperwork and documents we needed, and get things done in a quick and painless manner. Super friendly and professional, lots of communication on updates and next steps, just ... a real pro. Highly recommended!

I Highly Recommend!
Attorney Nichol Scott from NMS Family Law was extremely helpful. In what could have easily been a long, and difficult divorce case, her expertise resulted in a short, easy, and satisfying settlement for me. She is very knowledgeable, and keeps you informed every step of the way. She is easily assessable, and returns calls and emails promptly. She even offers resources for your after care, which is amazing! I highly Recommend her services.

"Attorney Scott is one of the hardest working, most dedicated people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Attorney Scott has an enormous heart and goes the extra mile to serve her clients. Attorney Scott and I attended The John Marshall Law School together where I had the pleasure to study alongside her for 3 years. During the years of study together I got to learn how great of a person she is. She was always studying longer and harder than others and obtaining the VERY BEST grades. Attorney Scott is an attorney I often turn to for answers to questions I have. Any time anyone asks me for a family law attorney I ALWAYS refer them to Attorney Scott. The reason I refer to her is because she is passionate, very diligent and truly cares about the advocacy that she performs. Attorney Scott is one of the brightest legal minds I know. I HIGHLY recommend Attorney Scott for all of your Family Law needs."
