Nikea Tanisha Bland

Innocent until proven guilty exists as a theory only. Pursuit of the truth has taken a backseat to public perception and career advancement, and your only hope to reverse the tide of conviction is competent counsel. Enter Nikea Bland. She understands how to play the game, is well versed in legales...e, and is able to communicate in laymens terms about what is happening and where things are headed. Nikea was always upfront with me about my situation, and always asked for my input as to how best to preceed. All of these things were appreciated, however, it was in the courtroom where Nikea earned her money and my utmost respect. From the opening arguments, Nikea took control and ran the show. Her understanding of the case and applicable law was spot on, and the Prosecuting Attorney was simply outclassed. The result? Victory! Nikea never stopped fighting for me, even when it seemed the deck was stacked against, she never quit. I have an unending amount of respect for Nikea, and can't recommend her highly enough.

After initially meeting with Nike Bland in order to review my child abuse case, I trusted her knowing the possible outcome. She asked the appropriate questions and gave professional legal advise. Her communication skills were excellent. She always returned my calls when I left messages with the r...eceptionist or her cell phone voice mail and she communicated with me regarding new or updated information via a phone call or my secure email address. Nikea also communicated with my witnesses using arranged and necessary means. Nikea was on time and came prepared to all of the arranged court and pretrial meetings. She was willing to meet with me as many times necessary in order to become sufficient with all necessary details. She also made her schedule flexible enough to meet with my witnesses and I for office meetings. After meeting and getting to know Nikea during this process I became to know that all though she was an attorney, and she worked for money as we all do, the money was not her priority. She cared about myself and my kids. She also took pride in working hard and precise for me. Nikea did what was necessary to see that justice was served including communicating with the DA's until she got my case dropped.

My husband and I hired Nikea Bland last year as our son’s defense attorney. Ms. Bland went beyond her duties as our son’s attorney. She was informative, always available and most importantly, she really cared. I was very distraught and did not want my son to go to prison for 10 years, which was th...e potential sentence. Ms. Bland took the time to weed through the complicated nature of our son’s case by requesting documents and thoroughly reviewing them and interviewing crucial people close to the case. Despite the low odds, Ms. Bland was ready and willing to take the case to trial, if it was deemed necessary. Because of Ms. Bland’s integrity, dedication and firm advocacy, the case was settled favorably. We were elated and so was our son. Ms. Bland is a very competent, knowledgeable and effective attorney. She was upfront with us, she informed us of all stages of the proceedings, and advised us of potential risks and benefits. Although my husband and I were not the official clients, Ms. Bland was accessible to my son and us, at all time. I was also very impressed with the compassionate way that we were treated, and we will forever be grateful for her kindness and willingness to help us. We highly recommend Ms. Bland to anyone that seeks an attorney with integrity, experience, knowledge, and one who has her clients' best interest at heart; an attorney of this quality is a rare find.

When my teenage son was arrested I began looking for Juvenile Criminal Defense Lawyers right away. I spoke with a dozen or so over the phone and met with a few in person. None of them came across as having what I was looking for, which was the Professional Compassion needed to handle a case as sensit...ive and serious as my sons. When I spoke with Nikea I knew I had found the right lawyer right away. She was very respectful, and empathetic to my state of mind dealing with all the stress of the first few days after the arrest. She gave me some very reassuring facts about the reality of cases similar to my sons and possible outcomes, good or bad. She met with my son and I together but treated him with the utmost respect and made it very clear to him that her job was to look out for his best interest and provide him with the best defense possible. She made him feel like he wasn't alone in his struggle to prove his innocence anymore. She is very knowledgable and has been very proactive, recommending some great professionals for case related needs ( evaluations & court ordered therapies) as well. She keeps us informed on where we are in the process of the case and what we need to do next. I have been very pleasantly surprised by how much easier it is to find our way through the judicial system now that we have the right Navigator on our side. 

I had an excellent experience with Nikea Bland. She met with me to review the discovery and discussed the process with me every step of the way. She really cares and spent a great deal of time making sure that I understood every stage of the legal process. Ultimately, based on my prior inconsistent... testimony contradicting what a witness said to the police, she was able to get my case dismissed. She did a great job!!
