This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very nice person

Nicola is a terrific attorney. My charges all dropped, few days before trial was about to start. San Bernardino District attorney looked like a law school intern, San Bernardino DA was made to look like the fool she actually is.

Criminal Defense

I thought my future was destroyed before I met Nicola Fitzgerald, she is the most trustworthy attorney that I have ever dealt with. Nicola really cares about her clients and will work very hard to do the best for them no matter how long it takes, she does not rush anything and will make sure her clie...nts are satisfied. I feel extremely lucky to have chosen Nicola as my attorney because she changed my life! She managed to get my case DISMISSED!!! She was always professional and responsive when I had questions and never ignored me. I called many other attorneys before I chose Nicola, she was the smartest, most empathetic and knowledgeable one. She always made time to call or text me back even when she was busy and took my case very seriously. Dealing with a criminal case is very stressful and Nicola was the only lawyer that put me at ease. I thank God every day that I was able to meet Nicola. I finally feel like I can live my life with a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Nicola is a wonderful person and takes her job very seriously there are no words that can describe how great she is. If you choose Nicola to handle any of your legal matters you will not be disappointed!

Definite do NOT hire this attorney

This attorney overcharges her clients while only meeting with her client once. All my personal items were seized upon my arrest and even when my case was finalized, this attorney would not contact or work on my behalf to get any of my personal items returned which was a whole apartment of things. I ...am not fluent in English and when I was in court and had an interpretor, she would not allow the interpretor to translate everything to me, instead she would tell the interpretor that I understand even when I didn't.
