Outstanding!

Nicole Spicer is an exceptional attorney, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I hired Nicole to represent me in a complicated interstate family-law matter involving jurisdiction, and from beginning to end, she was absolutely outstanding. I knew from my very first conversation with Nicole that ...I wanted her representing me. I called her and explained that I wanted to pursue having jurisdiction over my case moved to another state. Without hesitation, she told me, “I've done that before.” It was such a simple statement, but the confidence and experience behind it immediately put me at ease. She wasn't intimidated by the complexity of an interstate jurisdictional issue. She knew this area of law, knew the process, and had done it before. I retained her that same evening! That confidence carried through every stage of my case. Nicole was incredibly knowledgeable, strategic, thorough, and prepared. At our hearing, it was obvious that she knew the law inside and out. She came prepared with the applicable statutes, exhibits, and a clear legal argument, and she made sure the evidence necessary to support my position was presented to the court. Watching her advocate for me confirmed that I had chosen exactly the right attorney... AND WE WON!! What impressed me just as much as her legal ability was how well she communicated with me throughout the process. She explained what was happening, prepared me for what to expect, answered my questions, and understood how important this matter was for my family. I will always refer Nicole Spicer to anyone who is in need of an outstanding attorney.

Excellent Communication, Conviction and Compassion

Nicole Spicer represented me in my recent amicable divorce. She abided by my wish to keep the work civil and amicable between me and my ex husband. My ex did not hire an attorney so we established a process where she'd guide me, allow space and authentic communication with my ex, and reconfirm all ...along the way that we both understand what we were agreeing to. She did a fantastic job of educating me, preparing me and promptly responding to my requests for knowledge and process. I was really impressed with her ability to deeply and quickly understand the important elements of our case and meet us where we were. She and her team were great to work with and I'd recommend them to anyone going through any type of divorce.
