Happy Co-Parents

Nick was extremely helpful after other lawyers blew us off. He was able to quickly get our divorce drafted and 35 days later everything was finalized with the judges stamp. Thank you for helping two happy coparents close out a chapter.

Great Divorce Attorney – Professional, Kind, and Quick

I’m so grateful I chose this attorney for my divorce. I spoke with a few attorneys before deciding to go with him, and I’m so glad I did. He was kind, empathetic, and really helped make a stressful situation much more manageable. My ex completely ghosted me, but he still got everything handled qui...ckly and efficiently. He kept things moving, explained the process clearly, and didn’t overcomplicate anything. After everything I’d already been through, having someone like him take charge and get it done was a huge relief. A close friend generously paid for his services, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions made during this whole process. I’m so thankful I went with him—highly recommend if you’re looking for someone who’s calm, competent, and gets the job done.

Nicholas is worth more than 5 stars.

I found Nicholas on a site while I was in a highly abusive relationship. My writing to him was a reach out to someone that might listen and care. Nicholas reached out to me. It took me several years to be brave enough to hire him as my attorney. I was so scared of more abuse... from my ex if he were to find out I had intentions of divorcing. Quite the opposite happened when I hired Nicholas. Nicholas gave me the knowing that I would be safe under his care. I’am now back home in my own state . I’m thriving . I cannot thank Nicholas enough for staying by my side through my ordeal. He gave my life back to me. Thank you Nicholas. I will always remember your soft hands of care for me and the hard hand you put down on my once abuser. Blessing to you always

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."
