Assertive and Fair Representation

Nicole was able to come in and rectify a very difficult situation quickly and proactively. She was assertive in fighting for me during a very painful and unusual divorce, and I am so appreciative.

Nicole Spicer as my attorney was money well spent

I hired Nicole in the fall of “23 . I just separated from my husband of 42 yrs. I had found out he had been having an affair for about a year. I was An emotional mess & scared to death of the whole process. Nicole advised me to get a therapist to help me & she was so right. My husband was such a co...ntrol freak over everything especially the financially. Nicole is a strong & very intelligent woman she saw right through my husband’s BS. I can’t thank her enough for guiding me through this whole process with such compassion. Divorce is very costly but having Nicole Spicer as my attorney was money well spent!

Highly recommend

I am so thankful that I hired Nicole! She guided me through a difficult divorce and empowered me to make the best choices for me and my kids. She is kind and compassionate, but tough when she needs to be. She doesn’t back down, but always handles herself in a professional manner. I would highly recom...mend Nicole.
