Nicole Elaine Bernabe

Nicole is beyond the best lawyer I have ever hired I lost costudy and my kids got to move to another state when I contacted Nicole she assured me she would do her best to get me my kids. She got my kids back in the state of Arizona and got me full costudy if it wasn’t for her I would still be with out my kids! I’m grateful for her and her team !

I have Nicole Bernabe-Rice and her paralegal, Jenna Erikson, as representation for my child support modification. Both have been very professional, knowledgable, responsive and dedicated. Miss Bernabe-Rice does not back down from a fight but also keeps emotions out and knows your rights and the law. It is exactly what is needed in my case. I highly recommend them!

Nicole and her Paralegal Jenna are amazing! I’m going through a very nasty divorce and I believe if I had chosen anyone else I would’ve been screwed. They are 100% dedicated to their clients. She’s so easy to talk to and truly cares about her clients. She’s found things that honestly if I had gone the cheap way as my husband wanted I would’ve been hurting even more financially. She’s very thorough! Don’t let her Paralegal Jenna fool you with her sweetness because that girl is a pit bull too. These ladies are seriously an “A Team”. I’m a serious worrier but I’m very confident with the ladies representing me. Win or lose I know that they have worked hard on my case and are seriously prepared every time we’ve had to go to court. I have to also compliment the front office Joann because she is always my cheerleader especially when I’m down. Thank you for everything you have done for me. Words cannot express how much you ladies mean to me especially being here alone, no support and completely devastated over the end of a 23 yr marriage.

Almost a year ago, I hired Nicole for a VERY difficult case in family court. I first thought she was very young and maybe not enough experienced to handle my case, I WAS WRONG! She WON my case, so that I can be with all my children. I can’t never thank her enough for her HARD work in my case. I was surprised how well she knew the story associated to each exhibit. That’s how you know when your lawyer is 100% working for you! When you walk into that beautiful building in Mesa, everyone at Rowley Chapman & Barney is welcoming! I don’t ever want to go back to court again, but if I have to or if I know someone who needs a strong attorney, Nicole is definitely the right attorney to hire. Thank you Nicole! Life is again beautiful for us!

Due to family issues, I had to leave Arizona to move to Oklahoma. Unfortunately, my wife could not move with me because she and her child's father could not come up with a long distance parenting plan. My wife and I sought out many lawyers, most of whom said they wouldn't take the case, or that the case was too hard to win. After working with another attorney that didn't pan out for us, Nicole took the case. She essentially rolled up her sleeves and dug in! Nicole wasn't only our lawyer, but a support throughout the process. Although she represents many, she honestly made us feel like we were her only client!! As the trial approached, she laid out her strategy to both my wife and me and was open to any ideas we had. I think my wife describes her litigation techniques best when she says, "Nicole was a lion in there." She was relentless!! She executed her plan and WON THE CASE for us!! Should you decide to hire Nicole, my recommendation would be to listen to what she says, because she is listening to what you have to say, and she knows what she is doing!! She's AWESOME!!! SHE'S A LION!!
