Mr. Nichols was so Impressive During a Consultation that I Hired Him

I am honored to write in praise of Justin P. Nichols, Attorney at Law. I conferred with Mr. Nichols on a Saturday, and he was remarkably intelligent, thorough, and kind to me as a stranger grieving his partner. Mr. Nichols was very patient and explained things in detail. As a fine listener, he ...was always sensitive to the difference between what advice I had been given, what I was saying and what I (sometimes did not know) I needed to consider and do. I am grateful Mr. Nichols also gave me time (on a Saturday no less) to articulate my sense of his advice. He patiently corrected my errors and gave support when I remembered things correctly. More than a resourceful professional and an experienced “idea person,” Mr. Nichols evinced sensitivity to my concerns and issues and their emotional resonance. In short, Mr. Nichols’ sage advice and sensitivity inspired me to try to retain him for a second job. This attorney is very well-versed and very wise. Mr. Justin P. Nichols emanates trustworthiness and integrity and I recommend him to you wholeheartedly.

Amazing lawyer!

The Nichols Law Firm has amazing staff who are all extremely helpful, friendly & professional. Justin & team got the results I wanted in my case. He listened to my concerns & wishes & worked with me! I highly recommend this law firm if you want the best outcome & customer service. My case involved mi...litary divorce with children for reference!

Posted by Raf | March 08, 2023 | Domestic Violence

He was there for me when I needed him the most

I'm a survivor of domestic violence and my case was about to default anytime. I logged on to my computer at 9pm and frantically started looking at how I could file a response. I emailed several lawyers that night. Mr. Parker quickly responded that same night, out of the blue, and provided the link an...d info I needed to prevent my case from defaulting and losing my child. Good deeds should be rewarded, that's why I came here to file this review.

Posted by Michael | December 30, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Responsive and professional

Working with Justin’s team through my divorce put my mind at ease. They communicated well, stayed on top of my case, and were able to expedite my divorce in a very short amount of time. I highly recommend Justin and am very thankful to him and his team.

Posted by Brie | December 28, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Discrimination

Excellent, Strong, and Compassionate Service

After speaking with dozens of firms, Justin was the first to take my case seriously, and tell me that the harassment I was facing was unacceptable. I was being attacked for my gender identity and Justin did not stand for that. Justin protected me, and put an end to the harassment I was facing. Justin... is obviously devoted to protecting the community and his clients. By building a rapport with his clients and communicating with them throughout the entire process, Justin doesn't make you feel like you're just another billable client. When you're working with Justin you feel valued and respected. I have no regrets choosing to work with Justin, and will choose to work with Justin again in the future.

"It is my pleasure to endorse attorney Justin Nichols. I worked with him on tough divorce case and he proved to be the consummate professional. It was clear to me throughout the case that he is smart, well-prepared and fights hard for his client's objectives, yet does so in a manner that doesn't create conflict with opposing counsel that only makes it harder to move the case forward. Anyone looking for a high-caliber attorney would do well to discuss their case with Justin Nichols before making a decision on who to hire."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I am an attorney-mediator in the DFW area and recently had the opportunity to mediate a divorce case for Justin. I was very impressed with his advocacy skills, preparation, knowledge of the law, and true compassion for his client. Divorces are difficult on their best day, and mediations are extremely emotional for the parties. Justin was able to balance being a strong advocate for his client while also being realistic and empathetic for his client's needs. I enjoyed working with Justin and hope to have the opportunity to mediate for him again."

"I had a hotly contested case against Justin recently, and I found him to be an outstanding attorney who fought hard for his client. At the same time, he was very professional and ethical. Further, he was "on call" for his client 24/7, as he sent and responded to time-sensitive case communications day, night and weekend. I strongly endorse and recommend Justin."

Credit repair lawyer | May 05

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I've known Justin for 6 years and not only is he an amazing person, but he is a stellar litigator with a legal brain that can turn on a dime. He’s a sixth generation Texan who can play hardball with the best of them, but he also knows when to compromise (an important, often rare, quality in an attorney.) Justin is a compassionate champion of the underdog and relentless when it comes to resolving a case in a manner that is fair and just. Frankly, I would trust him to repair more than just credit. A great attorney and zealous advocate."
