Navigating High-Conflict Divorce with Kids

Working with Nicole Spicer at this firm, I was able to get through a high-conflict divorce within less than six months from start to finish. Nicole was a pro at helping me deal with tricky situations with my ex-spouse including: sexual harassment from him, his quitting one job-getting it back-then jo...b hopping again, protecting my special needs child with visitation concerns, parenting time conflicts, and negotiating child support. Plus, there was a very time-sensitive issue with a home refinance, and she negotiated on my behalf to ensure I was able to get a fair financial settlement and keep my business. Very impressed. There is no way I would have been able to get through this process by myself. I needed an attorney who was adept at dealing with high-conflict personalities, and she knew all the games my ex and opposing counsel were playing. Plus, she knew how to handle OC when they were completely unresponsive to emails or calls, and she got me across the finish line. Highly recommend Nicole Spicer!

Wonderfully competent, compassionate attorney

Hiring Nicole to represent me during my divorce was the best thing I could have done. She guided me through the process and was always available to me via phone, text or email. My ex-husband made the divorce much more difficult than it should have been and Nicole was amazing. She was incredibly pat...ient with me. It’s an overwhelming process.

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.
