Nick Wooldridge

On October 3rd at 8:04 in the morning I received a call from Tiffany who asked if I needed help. How I even managed to remember my cell phone number at 2:00 a.m. is beyond me, but obviously I did. I said yes and that my son was arrested the evening before at 10:30 on misdemeanor charges of domesti...c violence in a restaurant with his "girlfriend". By 10:00 a.m. I had heard from Nick Wooldrige, I had signed a retainer agreement which THEY BROUGHT TO ME to make my life easier. Never once did I wait more than five minutes for a return call. Nick saved my son twice, the first time was that evening (my son was there until they process and it is a long haul - they move painfully slow and there is not much a lawyer can do, he has to wait for the papers) when my son was actually in court when there was a mix up with my son's name (and if I did not have Nick, my son would have been there another night or more (easily). There were five misdemeanors against my son. NIck met with my son about two weeks later and listened to his story and told him his goal was to go for no record, etc. It was ludicrous to have him arrested to begin with but so be it. The end of the story, Nick, the man with wings and a mind that is even faster- he flies around that courtroom - got it down to "harrassment, not even a crime, a fine of $125 and a restraining order in place (by the woman) which was good because I never want to hear or see her from her again. I have worked for lawyers for 30 years and never, and I mean never do they return calls the way this firm does - never waited more than five minutes frim Nick, Tiffany and their paralegal. THENNNNNNNNNNN, AFTER COURT AND my son and I are at home, Nick calls to see how we are. I am not finished thanking them. But I need to get some things in order. They are in a word "exceptional" from the first phone call from Tiffany "do you need help" to the last call from Nick to see how we were. I would not take the time to write this if it were not true. I would just say okay we won, life goes on, but they are deserving of this praise. I hope I never have to see them again, but if I do, they are the people I will call - Nick Wooldridge. Incredibly nice man, incredible lawyer. He literally gave me my life back.

Outstanding Litigator!

I had to hire a corporate litigation attorney to resolve an issue with my ex- business partner. Nick Wooldridge proved to be the right choice for me. I was aggressively represented in court, and the other party had to consent to our conditions. During the whole course of action Nick tried to ease the... painful experience of litigation (this is the first and hopefuly the last time I have to go through this). The firm had coverage around the clock, and I exercised this option not once. These people are really available on the phone. Overall, I had a very positive experience with Nick, and I'd recommend him should anybody ask for my advice.

"I highly recommend Nicholas Wooldrige! Nicholas is an outstanding Trial Attorney. I observed Nicholas deliver a masterful closing statement in which I knew the only verdict the Jury could return was Not Guilty. And sure enough, his client was acquitted of all the charges. You better be prepared if your going to go up against Nicholas Wooldridge! Great Attorney!"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
