Nick is an Asset to my Business

Nick has been a great resource for my small business. He always adds value to what I'm looking to accomplish and makes sure we are covered from a legal standpoint. The legal documents he has drawn up for me have been reasonably priced. Nick makes owning my own business much easier than before I start...ed working with him!

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Questions Answered!

I wanted some information about setting up a Trust Fund for a family member in a sad situation. Nick was very professional and responsive. He gave me a basic understanding of the different types of Trusts available (explaining the differences from a standard will), and answered all my novice questi...ons in a respectful and detailed manner.

Nick is an excellent choice!

Nick did the Estate Planning for my wife and I. From the get-go, he listened to what we wanted, and then very professionally helped to guide us through our options to get us there. While not terribly complex, our requirements definitely didn't make this a boiler-plate job for Nick, and he handled it ...perfectly. The best part is he was great at translating much of the verbiage (and the process) we might not understand, into something we could. All this while never making us feel silly for asking question after question. If you're looking for a expert that will get you the Estate Plan, Will or Trust you need, all while guiding you through the complexities of the process thoughtfully, Nick is your guy.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
