"Bo knows Family Law, alright! I got to witness his expertise and superb trial skills firsthand as a student at the Family Law Trial Institute, held annually in Houston. Bo is truly a dynamic and passionate attorney, who's energy is palpable. I refer all Texas Family Law cases to him-- he's that good. I wholeheartedly endorse John "Bo" Nichols. He's an excellent attorney and a nice person as well."
"I have known Bo Nichols for the better part of a decade and I can say without hesitation that he is an exceptional lawyer. He takes time with each legal issue, no matter how small and always gets the job done. On numerous occasions, I have called upon him to offer insight to a difficult legal matter. He always has THE answer. If I ever need the services of a family lawyer, he is the only one I trust."
