Exceptional Advocacy and Results

I had an excellent experience working with Nicole. She was professional, knowledgeable, and always took the time to explain everything clearly. I felt supported and confident throughout the entire process. She was responsive, honest, and truly cared about getting the best possible outcome for me. I w...ould absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of legal representation.

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.

Great response time!

Nicole Spicer represented me in my divorce case. Nicole is such an advocate for her clients! She explains everything thoroughly and is truly in your corner. She answered all of my (many) questions promptly and made me feel at ease during this difficult time. I highly recommend her services! Great ...to work with!

Divorce

Nicole is aces. She handled my very contentious divorce with professionalism & care. She utilized her resources to perfection. She continues to make herself available to answer any questions I have even after everything has been settled. I cannot recommend Nicole enough.

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
