Exceptional

Ms. Nichols was a superb attorney and God-sent, especially after previously hiring an attorney who ran off with my money. She was efficient and very informative regarding the possible outcome of my case. I was a client of hers for almost two years, before having to hire someone new because the jurisd...iction of my case had changed. Even after the transfer, I was able to communicate with her and she selflessly assisted with pointing me towards how to look for a board-certified attorney. She treats her clients with respect, and at no point do you feel as if she is not being honest or making choices without your consent. She allows for her clients to have full control over each step of the case. If you care about the well-being of your child and want to make sure your child(ren) are in good hands, Ms. Nichols is that person for you. I will always be appreciative of her professionalism and assistance during one of the most difficult times in my life. Thank you again, Ms. Nichols.

My ex husband and I agree we made a bad choice on this attorney

Slow to return phone calls, and email communication was often made with an assistant. My ex-husband and I split the bill, a grand total of $14,539.36. That bill most definitely ran up quickly with travel expenses, such as airfare, parking and meals, which is expected, but I thought her spending ...was on the high end, for example, we paid for her $42.43 dinner, $27.25 lunch and a upgrade on her rental car. Other meals were within reason. She served as an amicus on my son's case. When I later had serious concerns over my son's welfare, I contacted her again, at the direction of two attorneys, since she was assigned to be the continuing tie-breaker in our case. She also said that because of her location differing from ours, we'd have to change venue to change custody. This was not true. At the direction of my attorney, and at an additional expense (paid to my attorney instead of Amy), the judge not only signed a Temporary Restraining Order, but he also enforced it with extraordinary circumstances. We ended up getting it all handled in El Paso, with no help from Amy, who is now my son's FORMER amicus. I will never use her again, nor will I ever recommend her.

Thank you for your feedback. An Amicus Attorney is appointed by the Court and is a Friend of the Court. As such, they have no client and can only take direction from the Court. This is oftentimes confusing to parties. In the future, I will make sure to communicate the role of an Amicus more effectively to the parents.
