Nicci Hinderaker

I’ve had the privilege of working with Nicci for over five years. Through that time, she has not only helped me navigate one of the most complex, high-conflict custody matters imaginable, but has also shaped the kind of co-parent and person I’ve become. She is exceptional in every sense of the word. ... We’ve worked together through numerous court hearings—some of them intensely emotional—and every single time, Nicci has come prepared, composed, and laser-focused. She is incredibly well spoken, precise in her arguments, and deeply strategic. She reads the courtroom like no one I’ve ever seen—knowing what to press, what to concede, and how to guide a case toward the most favorable outcome. From the very beginning, she understood the odds and positioned me for success without false promises—just truth, compassion, and extraordinary skill. What makes Nicci truly unique is her ability to combine legal excellence with deep emotional intelligence. She understands trauma. She understands the long arc of parenthood. She has never excused harmful behaviors, but she’s always encouraged me to rise above them—to lead with integrity, and to keep my side of the street clean, no matter how unjust the situation might feel. Because of her, I am not just a better litigant—I am a better parent. Working with Nicci didn’t just help me win my case; it fundamentally changed my life. I had spent years feeling trapped—professionally, emotionally, and legally. I was afraid I would have to sacrifice everything to retain custody. Nicci changed that. She helped the Court see the full picture of caregiving, intent, and future—and she led a relocation case that resulted in the judge granting permission to move, affirming my role as the primary caregiver, and protecting the relationship I’ve worked so hard to build with my child. Nicci emancipated me. She gave me and my child a new beginning—one I never thought was possible. We now have the chance to thrive in a new place, together. She is not just a brilliant legal mind. She is a steady, fierce, and loyal advocate who never gives up on her clients. I will carry lifelong gratitude for everything she did to get us here.

Nicci was recommended to me 4 years ago from a family member and other legal professionals in the Tucson area. She handled my case involving custody, divorce and domestic violence. From the minute we met she was understanding, caring and honest. Her knowledge and guidance helped me and my children fe...el protected during a time of full of immense stress, fear and uncertainty. She explained terms and processes so I could understand and make informed decisions, always offering her perspective and options. She treated me with dignity and respect when opposing counsel did anything but that on a regular basis. She was a trustworthy advocate who fought for me and my children with heart and tenacity for a great outcome. She conducted herself with integrity and professionalism in and out of the court room. I couldn’t have navigated this process without her. I am forever grateful.

I retained Ms. Hinderaker as my attorney for a lengthy and ugly custody battle and then again as my attorney for grandparent visitation case. Both Ms. Hinderaker and her staff are extremely professional and knowledgeable about their area of law. The office staff are all super friendly, which helped i...n this extremely stressful part of my life. I always have paid an extra amount of time and effort to detail and research a lot of things on my own. Ms. Hinderaker is the same way, she will know the latest about state laws and know the best options for each individual case. She does her job and does it well. There is never a problem with emails, calls and no matter how much I felt I was bugging they always help and let me know that’s what they are there for. The whole office put my child and our safety first. I got a lot of relief and somehow knew that things were going to be okay, once I obtained her. If you want the best and want someone who is going to listen to what your concerns are; you want Ms. Hinderaker.

When I first contacted Nicki I was scared, alone and was trying to protect my child. Nicki helped me through the process of moving to another state, getting full time custody with only supervised visitation and child support to which I have never received before this. I can honestly say without her ...direction and help my situation could of been completely opposite without my sons safety being concerned.

I have always been the "do it yourself" kind of person. When my custody battle was coming up. I was needing some help to make sure it went correctly. I was lucky to have found Nicole and her wonderful team. From our very first meeting I knew she was the one that would help me. I didn't want to hold a...nything back or hide any details from her what so ever. That was never an issue at all for her or her team. They handled everything very professionally. I was always kept in the loop on everything. I got so much information that I could tell when the other parties attorney was lying instantly. If I needed anything I could call and get Nicole or Kate on the phone with no issues at all. They always took time from there busy schedules to answer my questions. I would also email things to them when I was free at home, questions, concerns. I was shocked when even at 8pm at night Nicole would take time from her own family to email me back. I always had a sense that she truly cared for my family as much as her own. Everything that Nicole and her team did for me is beyond anything I ever expected and that was from day 1. She took the bad situation that I was in and made it easy. For myself and my family. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I have already given her phone number out to people that need help. So if you are in need of a truly caring person that will not bs you or make you feel like there just making a paycheck . Then you have found that with Nicole. I never once felt that I made the wrong choice with her. I wish her the best for her future. She is truly an awesome person that I am going to miss doing business with.
