Review Nicci Hinderaker

Finest family law attorney in Tucson

Posted by

There are few things in life as traumatic as being served with an unexpected divorce notice from the, arguably, most notorious law firm in Tucson. Several of my law professional contacts recommended Nicci to me and warned me that I was in for a tough fight. Nicci, it turns out, was a blessing. Not only is she competent, compassionate and empathetic, she is a delight to work with. She and her para legal, Erika, were always available when I needed them. Twice I caught Nicci working on my case from home on weekends. She presented a strong enough case that we were able to settle without going to trial with both myself & my former spouse pleased with the results. And we did it in the minimum number of days required by law, something which almost never happens in Tucson. I feel very fortunate to have found an attorney as good as Nicci working for me. Without reservations I highly recommend her.

Wonderful, Caring and Gets It Done

Posted by

I was referred to Nicci at a time when I needed help and was scared and didn't know where to turn. She was kind and down to earth and promised that if I held on and trusted her we would get through this and things would get better. She stood by my side and knew all the right things to ask and was reassuring. I was able to call and email her anytime I had questions or doubts and she and her team were very responsive. Here I am at the end of my journey and starting a new exciting one with my family and a great positive outlook on the future all thanks to Nicci.

Outstanding Family Law Attorney

Posted by

Nicci was very honest and professional from our initial consultation and throughout our case. Our severance case was complex and involved multiple people and states. She quoted us related law and what would have to be proven in order to prevail. Nicci was very honest about the cost due to it being a complex case. We knew it would not be an easy case to prevail, but with Nicci and her firms knowledge and direction we did in fact prevail. She was well prepared for all the hearings. She did a great job questioning all the witnesses. Not only is Nicci knowledgeable, honest, and professional but has a great personality also. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Nicci. We highly recommend her.

Highly recommend - a trustworthy and experienced professional.

Posted by

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 feel 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.

Awesome experience!

Posted by

We had a great experience with Nicci. We had a unique case that involved multiple states and other difficult factors, and she was recommended by a friend of a friend. From our initial consult, we knew that we had made the right choice! We felt immediate peace and had confidence in the route that we were going to take. It was also nice to have a general estimate as to how much everything that we needed may end up costing. We also felt like Nicci and her staff (especially Erika) had genuine concern for our well-being and were really rooting for us. Their email and telephone communication kept us informed throughout the process. We were in very good hands and are so appreciative of the help and guidance that they provided!

BEST FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY IN TOWN

Posted by

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 in 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.

I would confidently, highly recommend Nicci Hinderaker. Nicci was always professional, on-time, and organized. Throughout the entire process of my divorce Nicci was available and prompt with her responses to my questions or concerns. Her legal advice was always clear and impartial. Her ethics were above reproach and always adhered to the letter of the law while maintaining awareness of the emotional turmoil her client may be experiencing. Without hesitation I would recommend Nicci.

Family law situations can be very stressful; Nicci is not only an expert in this area of the law but a master in difusing difficult situations. She is compassionate and empathetic and genuinely concerned for her client's well being. Her ability to manuever through the legalities of the divorce process was second only to her flawless advice which I grew to depend on throughout the process. I had no idea who she was before I hired her, now it's difficult to imagine what I would have done without her.

Very Professional, Helpful and knowledgeable

Posted by

Nicci was always extremely helpful and accessible to me. She is very professional and easy to communicate with. She was also very good at thinking of options that I would have not have thought of on my own. I felt that Nicci was always putting in the extra effort and I am very thankful I had her as my attorney. It was difficult enough for me going through what I had to endure and I was very fortunate to have an attorney like Nicci working for me. Overall, a great experience working with Nicci and I would certainly use her services again if ever needed.
