Posted by anonymous | January 17, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Fantastic lawyer who serves the LORD God, Jesus Christ and made a HUGE difference in my case.

Nicole is one of several lawyers, whom I consulted with in 2023 following my wrongful termination. She kindly listened to my story, asked her questions and she was intrigued enough that she chose to pray about it over the weekend before deciding to take on my case. Nicole kept me informed throughou...t the entire process. Even as other attorneys were called in to consult, as my case grew, Nicole always checked in with me from time to time to see how I was doing and how my life was progressing. The attorneys whom she brought on for further guidance and consultation were friendly and stayed in contact with me as well. We just settled my case and none of that would have been possible if Nicole hadn’t taken the time to hear my situation and prayed for guidance on taking my case or not. We didn’t break the bank but in the end, they had to pay and I count that as a win. All of which is due to the LORD God, Jesus Christ leading me to Nicole and leading her to take on my case. I’m so very appreciative for her help and support. She’s not just a good lawyer, but she’s a GREAT person. You can’t go wrong with Nicole. She’s worthy of your trust.

You want her on your side

I initially reached out to Nicole for a consultation when I started to suspect discrimination with my previous employer. She couldn’t give me much information at that time but her compassion and sympathy for my situation made me turn to her the moment I was let go. I was shocked and vulnerable and s...he is the exact person I needed on my side fighting for me. She kept me in the loop at all times and thoroughly explained all my options every step of the way until we arrived to a settlement. I hope to never have to need her legal assistance again, but appreciate I can now consider her a friend in my corner.

Not just an attorney but a light in a dark and uncertain world!

In April 2023 I was wrongfully terminated after years of enduring gender and disability discrimination from my employer. I was devastated, I felt chewed up and spit out. I couldn’t believe that after nearly 4 years of tirelessly working for my employer, making their business profitable, my employ...er not only terminated me but attempted to blindside me into signing all of my legal rights away in exchange for a severance offer that was not reflective of my years of service and profit my employer gained from my talents. My employer also demanded I sign a non-compete which would ultimately put me in a position of losing all of the connections and contacts I built during my time developing important relationships. I was shocked and appalled. I felt absolutely lost and didn’t know how I was going to pick up the pieces. I searched employment attorneys in my area and found Nicole’s website. I read the reviews and decided to contact her after never hearing back from several large law firms. Without delay, Nicole responded to my questions, she assured me of my legal rights, and she led me through the process of pursuing an EEOC charge of discrimination. She championed the way through the process, was knowledgeable, but also honest and transparent to best manage my expectations. I never would have pursued the legal process had I not had her voice of reason and encouragement throughout the course of 9 months working with her on my case. Nicole was able to orchestrate a mediation with my former employer that awarded me over 4 times what was originally offered to me in their severance agreement. Not only was I financially awarded a better agreement, I didn’t have to sign a non-compete contract and was able to pursue my career within the same field and maintain the valuable relationships I had built over the years. What was once a very scary and uncertain future when my world crashed down around me is now full of purpose and opportunity. Nicole eased my mind and had me trust the process. I had confidence in her knowledge of the law and my rights, and through her work to advocate for my best interest she helped me walk away from this traumatic life event with self confidence and dignity. I’m grateful that she is out there, giving a strong foundation to so many whose voices are often stifled by intimidation and compromised confidence that’s exploited by many employers. I’ll forever hold Nicole dear to me, and know that she is committed to her cause to advocate for those who are often without representation within the work force. You won’t regret working with Nicole. She will prioritize your best interest and she won’t ever give up on you. She is as much a healer as she is a knowledgeable litigator in employment law and your rights in the state of Texas.
