Painless Experience

I found Nick on Thumbtack and I am so glad I contacted him. I heard back almost instantly! He was quick to schedule a phone consultation and was patient and informative during the call. He answered all of my questions with brutal honesty while being sympathetic and acknowledging the pain I was feelin...g! He validated my frustrations and assured me he would help me out to the best of his abilities. The cost came out to be what he had estimated prior to signing the retainer. He handled my case in a matter of less than a month. I am very impressed and will save his information, should I need legal assistance in the future. I HIGHLY recommend Nick! I had a previous lawyer who did not complete everything that was necessary for my specific case, Nick ensured everything was worded to my satisfaction in the court order and assisted me in obtaining any additional information I was needing. I wish I had found him initially, it would have made my life much easier!

Nick Gottwald is a great attorney. After firing my first attorney Nick stepped in and finished the job navigating me through the divorce process very efficiently. He was easy to communicate with and was quick responding and answering all my questions and requests

Divorce Lawyer

When I first came in for a consultation, I felt by what he said that he was honest, determined to work hard, and finish the divorce as quickly as possible. He was not out to drag it on to his benefit and was very affordable. He always responded to my questions and helped me understand the process.He ...showed me 2 ways that it could go and was willing to be flexible according to my wishes! He suggested mediation with us, our 2 lawyers, and a mediator. We came to an agreement quickly. Nick Gottwald and Lisa Jones work well together. You will not go wrong with Nick Gottwald!!

AMAZING

Nick saved me. My life was a complete wreck and I had no idea what to do or how I would afford anything and he was so kind and affirming. He made my case go so incredibly smoothly and was not too expensive at ALL. He did my divorce for a flat fee, which was totally doable, and kept me informed the wh...ole time. He was professional and insightful in all of the documents he looked at and drafted to make sure I was completely taken care of as his client. I would 100% recommend Nick for anything. And I will continue to use him if any other situation come up that require a lawyer.

Rockstar!!!!

I can’t begin to explain how impressed I was with Nick. After a horrible experience with another lawyer to get my divorce finalized (which also happened to be my first experience with a lawyer) I was hesitant to try another lawyer when a best friend suggested Nick. But HALLELUJAH that I did! He made ...the process seamless, kept me informed the whole process and got the deal done in a super quick amount of time. I only wish I had gone to him first! I will be using him if I ever need legal counsel again and have no reservations in suggesting his services to anyone who needs the most amazing lawyer around. This guy is a rockstar!!!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I worked with Nick on a family law client of his who ended up getting charged with multiple felonies. I was only helping in an advisory capacity. Nick was outstanding in his representation of his client. He fought incredibly hard for his client and ultimately persuaded the prosecution that the charges were not appropriate, and Nick was successful in getting the prosecution to dismiss the criminal case entirely."
