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.

Excellent Representation Criminal case

I employed Ms. Nikea Bland after I received a telephone call from an investigator with false accusations of sexual assault. From the first conversation with Ms. Bland, my mind was put at ease and felt confident in her overview and plan for action. When I was arrested late at night, she was there tha...t same night to talk and discuss how to immediately get me released which she did excellently. She was always available to discuss any issues that came up and was fully dedicated to getting my case acquitted from the start. Throughout the process, which took about 2 years to my acquittal in trial, Ms. Bland was the best representation I could ever ask for as she was always attentive and prepared for every step of the way, from court appearances to our regular meetings to outline our progress. Her organization, promptness, efficiency and attention to detail is beyond words. She created an impeccable team of private investigator, DNA specialist, and witnesses for my defense in this case. There was never a moment throughout the process that I ever felt that I was not in very capable and great hands. The financial obligations of the entire process was always well planned and our discussions and agreement were followed by a very fair contract. The DA in the process was very difficult to deal with and withstanding that, Ms. Bland was always prepared to overcome any challenges that she faced. We were prepared for trial a substantial time ahead of the actual trial. I was not guilty of the accusations and never once was pressured by Ms. Bland to take a plea or do nothing less than get a fair outcome and trial. Prior to trial and during trial, Ms. Bland was in constant communication with my support system and her other colleagues in making sure that everything was covered in this case and nothing left unturned. During motion hearings and trial Ms. Bland's preparedness, specificity to details, excellent communication skills, great rapport with judge/ court staff was astute and a blessing. My whole life was in Ms. Bland's hand with the possibility of life in prison to losing my professional career, my family and to even deportation. I never lost faith in her phenomenal capabilities. Overall, there was not one issue I had throughout pretrial and trial. Her representation of me was the best I could have asked for. In the end, with all her hard-work, dedication, decision making, impeccable intellectual ability and loyalty in my representation, she successfully got a NOT GUILTY jury verdict. My family and I are forever thankful and blessed to have Ms. Nikea Bland as my representative lawyer and would not hesitate to STRONGLY recommend her first in line in defense of anyone facing any criminal charges.

Nikea Bland ~ Recommedation

I interviewed five attorney's before deciding on Nikea. Best choice I could have made. It was not a slam dunk case. Nikea worked many hours outside of business hours and even weekends on my case. She even answeredd my txts, all hours of the day and night. Even when it looked rough, she persevered... ahead. And she inspired me to fight on and we came out victorious. She's tougher than nails. She listened to my ideas. She attacked it from all angles. Her preparation is excellent. And oh, is she sharp... at trial she objected before the prosecutor was half way through his sentence. Incredible work Nikea! I'm so happy I chose you. My recommendation is to call Nikea first before you answer ANY questions from authorities. Thank you again, and again.

Awesome!!

I went to O'Malley in hopes of getting help out of what I felt was a no win situation. I received a lawyer, Nikea, that was no nonsense, she took the case and did not over charge me. Nikea made me feel relief as she told me exactly what to expect. She has an amazing personality, along with her knowle...dge. She worked quickly and effeciently, making this whole process easier. Overall, Nikea was amazing!! I have told many people of this great experience.

An Attorney of this Quality is a Rare Find

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.
