John Bo Nichols

Bo is absolutely fantastic. He’s sharp, strategic, incredibly well organized, and one of the most intelligent attorneys I’ve ever seen in action. He knows the law and the family code inside and out and comes to court completely prepared every single time. What truly sets Bo apart is his passion ...and precision. He fights fiercely for his clients, and most importantly, for their children. When your child’s well-being is at stake, you want someone like Bo on your side: confident, compassionate, and relentless in the pursuit of justice. Yes, he’s expensive but don’t make the mistake of going cheap when it comes to your child’s life and future. I did that once, and it cost me dearly. Bo is worth every penny because he delivers results, integrity, and unmatched dedication. Do not hesitate and hire him. Bo is truly the best of the best, a top-tier attorney and one of Houston’s finest.

Bo's experience, knowledge, wisdom and courage as a lawyer are exceptional. His character as a man is even more impressive. Family legal matters are tough. Bo was always prepared, always professional, always dignified, and always compassionate in our family law case. But Bo was not satisfied just to ...win -- he did that easily. More importantly, Bo was committed to laying the ground work to rebuild and restore as well. He understands the need for the parties to be able to communicate and continue to function after a divorce, albeit in a different format. Bo wisely guided us to solutions that were in the best interests of the children and the adults. Thank you Counsellor!

Bo is very professional and ethical in how he handles his business. As a father who fought to be with his kids for several years and had a very difficult ex that did almost everything possible to interfere with that, Bo got the resolution I was looking for. His guidance throughout the process was w...ell articulated and there is no question he understands his profession. Bo handled a very difficult custody issue very well and there is no question in my mind who I will go to for future support if needed.

Bo was my second lawyer. I ended up at his office after my prior attorney gave me bad advice at our temporary orders mediation and I had an uphill climb to come back from it. Bo will tell you straight, he really challenged my thinking and my ideas. I think I really grew as a person, from a stay at h...ome mom with a very scared and controlled mindset. It has been great for my case and my self esteem. He is not cheap but I knew I wanted a litigator who would go to court (I'm also an attorney). Divorce is hard and petty. I was a mess and he was calm and planned long-term. I ended up with the custody and child support arrangement I wanted for the most part, without having to go to trial. Yes, Bo is expensive. He is worth it though. As an attorney I have been shocked at how poor many other attorneys out there are and/or the unethical tactics used. He works the case and does what is needed. He took me seriously which was so important to me. I knew I didn't want to totally destroy my ex as was suggested by several lawyers. Bo is a good mix of caring and tough, and I am very pleased with the great outcome he got for me coming from behind as I was.

Bo managed to do the impossible… I received primary custody as the father. After my wife ran off out of state with my 4 yr old while I was out of town, she filed for divorce and I immediately hired Bo. My wife managed to keep my child hidden from me for 65 days, and while I wanted to go scorched eart...h on her, Bo managed to talk me out of multiple potential bad decisions. We ultimately received primary custody because we did things by the book while my wife lobbed grenades left and right and ultimately paid the price in court. He’s by no means the cheapest, but he’s certainly one of the best. His level of preparedness when we had our emergency hearing was frankly incredible. The amount of work and documentation that he produced behind the scenes was extensive. I wouldn’t call him an overly aggressive monster (which is what I thought I wanted). Rather, he wins cases by out preparing and outmaneuvering the other side. We were playing checkers while they were playing chess. It didn’t always feel like we were winning (and we had our share of unpleasant phone calls because of that), but Bo is playing the long game, which ultimately is what led to our easy victory in court. Divorce is easily the hardest thing I’ve ever been through in my life, and there were days where I honestly wondered if I had chosen the right lawyer. But that’s because I’m not a lawyer and had no idea what I was doing. Without Bo’s guidance I would have screwed this up repeatedly, much like my wife did. I’m going to be much lighter in the wallet for hiring him, but ultimately I’m going to have something worth much more than that, which is a relationship with my daughter and primary custody as a father. Highly recommend.
