Excellent attorney

We hired Nicole for a family member, and she and her paralegal, Yohanna, were outstanding.! They were so diligent and got the matter settled with great results. I would recommend Nicole and her firm to anyone wanting someone who will fight for you and see things through to the end. Her flat fee made ...it less worrisome throughout the process since we knew upfront there would be no hidden costs. Much thanks to Nicole and Yohanna for helping get our lives back on track again.

I would recommend

I came into Nicole's office with not much time. I spoke with a few lawyers in the area and was not liking my options. I had an order of protection coming before the Judge in just a few days. She listened to my whole story. Came up with what I thought was a good plan. Every other person I spoke to wan...ted to fight against the claim, which I think would have caused more back and forth and more court time. We agreed on a plan of action. I was happy with the outcome. I then needed to retain her services for a divorce. I liked the way she presented my options. Told me when she thought i was making a good or bad decision, and backed me up on what path I wanted to take. I really appreciated her thought process and experience. I would recommend Nicole Sartori for representation.

I THOUGHT MY CASE WAS UNWINNABLE!!!

I had been fighting with the State for 5 years to get my license back! I had failed my first hearing and was too scared to try again until I hired Nicole because I heard she was the best in the area! It's true! She is a no-nonsense, get the job done attorney! Straightforward, honest and meticulou...s to details. She and her staff told me every step of the way what to expect and I felt completely comfortable with the hearing process the second time around. I cannot thank this office enough for helping me get my life back and get driving again after 7 LONG years!!! Worth every penny! If you're serious about getting your license back, give her a call today. Very satisfied customer here!

Couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer.

From our first meeting, she made the whole process easy for me to understand my options. My case went extremely smooth and better than I had anticipated. I highly recommend Nicole.

Couldn't of been easier.

Nicole was great everything she said from the first day we talked turned out exactly like she explained. She had to travel about 2 hours round trip to court for me around 5 times and never raised her fee. Nicole made everything go smooth and took the worrying out of it. I would highly recommend her.

"Need a smart, responsive, caring criminal defense lawyer quickly? Look no further. I contacted Nicole to ask for her help with one of my clients who was arrested on a Nevada warrant and was being held for extradition in Illinois. She quickly arranged to get my client a hearing (even though my client had waived one) and convinced the judge to set a reasonable bail amount. This resulted in my client keeping her job, and being able to handle her legal matter here in Nevada in a dignified way. She kept my client, her family, and myself updated every step of the way. We are all ecstatic with Nicole's work."
