This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Professional and Experienced

Nicole is phenomenal! I hired Nicole and her team to help me handle a divorce/custody issue and she was instrumental in helping me finalize my divorce with an uncooperative spouse. Her professionalism, experience, and empathy really showed through when we went to trial and throughout the process lead...ing up to it. Nicole never lead me to have unrealistic expectations of my case and kept my case extremely organized while keeping open communication with me which really kept me level headed going into trial. I definitely attribute having Nicole and her team on my side to my cases success and would recommend her to anyone going through a divorce or similar situation.

Agressive and Transparent

Retaining Nicole and her team was the best decision I've ever made as a parent. High conflict divorce/child custody is a grueling process and you need someone aggressive and responsive to your case. After 15 difficult months I was finally awarded primary care-giver to my neglected 6 year old. I could... not have done this without Nicole Lasiter. It was a difficult relocation case and she made our case strong and just. I will always be grateful to her.

Excellent Lawyer for Divorces with Medical Business

I hired Nicole after finding a recommendation for her on a "divorcing a doctor" support group site. She was amazingly knowledgeable about the process of valuing my Husband's medical practice and the commercial building. She gave me great upfront advice and delivered on my expectations. She was tena...cious in determining my Husband;s actual income for support purposes. I highly recommend Nicole if your divorce involves a business.

Great Lawyer Experience

I was absolutely pleased with the professional, thorough and personalized service that Nicole and her staff provided throughout my entire divorce process. She was always readily available and responsive to my questions, and provided focused and sound advice. Nicole gave great insight on every step o...f the process so that I was comfortable knowing what to expect at each stage. All of her recommendations and suggestions ended up being right on target. My end result was essentially what I had sought originally at the beginning of the process. I would unhesitatingly recommend Nicole to anyone forced to go through a similar ordeal.

Complex Child Custody Case

We hired Nicole Lasiter to handle our son's complex child custody case. This case involved two cases with two separate judges and two opposing lawyers. Nicole expertly guided us through the tangled process. We were impressed with her expertise. Nicole is upfront and honest regarding the time and cost...s. Her knowledge of family law was extensive. We highly recommend her.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
