Best Attorney!

Nikea is an incredibly caring and hard-working attorney. She was always responsive when I had questions or was looking for updates on the status of my case. She is incredibly professional and also personable, which can be difficult balance to find in an attorney. I recommend Nikea 100% for anyone loo...king for an advocate to help them navigate the legal system. Thanks for everything Nikea!!

Incompetent

Please do Not put your life in her hands for representation. We found her flippant and dismissive once she was paid and the closer to the court date we got. She ignored the obvious and made it seem like they work as a team but she was not responsive to other attorneys input. Not worth the risk! Pleas...e seek a different attorney for your own good.

I am sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with my representation. I would love an opportunity to speak with you offline about ways that I can improve and anything I can do to correct your experience as it is unclear what happened based on your review.

Divine Intervention II

I couldn't agree more with the previous reviewer (anonymous, August 8, 2013). Please read that review as it paints an accurate picture of Nikea's legal and personal skills. I could be writing the exact same review word-for-word some three years later. This speaks volumes for her consistency as an a...ttorney and person. Undoubtedly, Divine Intervention led us to Nikea. She has deep knowledge of Colorado law and the juvenile justice system. Nikea helped us navigate through the worst storm in our lives. Her expertise and legal guidance resulted in the best possible outcome. Highly recommended!

Excellent Trial Lawyer for DV Charge

I was arrested and charged with a felony and a misdemeanor under the domestic violence category in Adams County, Colorado. Another attorney was initially hired. Ultimately, I felt I was not receiving the communication and attention I was comfortable with. This other attorney worked headline cases: ra...pe, murder, conspiracy. Mine did not fit that category. I began researching and interviewed several attorneys. Nikea Bland made me feel comfortable and confident that she was the right attorney for this type of case. I never questioned whether switching attorneys was the right decision. If you have questions, ask them. You need to understand what is happening. Lawyers will use their lingo but if you don’t understand something, Nikea will explain. She will also explain why she recommends a certain path. We worked on negotiations with the DA, but ultimately I took the case to trial. Nikea was well prepared and knew the details of the case. She knew what to expect from the prosecution and from the witnesses. Her defense of me at trial was exactly what I hoped to see. The jury returned quickly with a NOT GUILTY verdict on both counts. The staff at the O’Malley Law Firm were also polite and professional.

Awesome trial lawyer

I have watched Nikea prepare, try, and win a criminal case before a jury. As a trial lawyer myself, I could see the time and effort she put into each phase of the case. I was particularly impressed by her skill in the courtroom. It can be hard to find an attorney who excels in both the prep work a...nd the presentation, but Nikea does that. And she really cares about her clients -- which is critical in convincing a jury to acquit a defendant. I refer clients to her and I would call her first if any of my family or friends needed a criminal attorney.
