Beyond expectations

Nicholas James de Blouw or “Nick” as I like to call him is ALL you desire from an attorney. I contacted him simply from Google research after I endured flagrant abuses over some time at the workplace. Before contacting Nick, I exposed my case to an Employment Attorney whom I was referred to by her hu...sband who is a friend from Church. I was expecting a compassionate ear but did not get this. From the initial contact after I exposed my case, Nick was confident that he would get justice for me and right the wrong. He was going to do this without any upfront initial fee from me. That says a lot about how confident Nick is about the work he does and how he does it. It was all too good to be true, especially after my rejection. The road to travel was long but all along, Nick reassured me about what was happening. Not having a case, the employer’s legal team was dragging their feet and subsequently earning for themselves unnecessary fees. Nick exhorted me to be patient. COVID also made its unannounced and once a century visit and Nick reiterated the need for calm. All the while, Nick always returned my phone call-requests for updates, my email-questions and inquiries. Nicholas James de Blouw defended and fought for me in ways that I could, would never have imagined. Sometimes in life, you just have to let those who know, do what they do best. Nick knows what he is doing, he is a real “Maestro”. In the end it all came through as an early Christmas present. Retaining Nicholas James de Blouw for ALL employment related employment law, class action, wage & hour, overtime, and labor law issues is the best present you can offer yourself now and thereafter. Above all and as I said earlier, Nick's Law firm does not charge you a single penny until your case is settled and you have got money in your pocket. I highly recommend Nicholas J. De Blouw, Esq. and his Law firm Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP.

Excellent legal representation!!!

I needed help from an attorney as I was having problems collecting my earned wages from my previous employer after I felt I was wrongfully terminated. I contacted the law offices of Blumenthal, Nodrehaug, Bhowmik & De Blouw, LLP after extensive research. They stood out since they specialize in employ...ment labor laws including commission pay, lost wages and wrongful termination. They also have an excellent reputation and I liked the fact that they were a small group of attorneys. The attorney on my case was Nicholas De Blouw who I highly recommend to anyone needing representation. He was very professional, understanding and attentive. If I ever had a question about anything he always was available to speak about my case no matter what day of the week. He constantly kept me in the loop about my case and all the steps involved. He even came all the way from SoCal to San Jose to meet my husband and I to discuss our case. I am extremely pleased with Nicholas De Blouw. His partner AJ Bhowmik helped with the case as well and he was also outstanding. They were both highly skilled and a great team of attorneys to have when you need representation. They worked diligently on my behalf and settled my class action and individual claim to my satisfaction. If you need to be heard and get what you're owed, contact Nicholas De Blouw and his team! If I ever need them again, I will be sure to contact them an no one else!! Thank you Nick!

I highly recommend Nick for work related cases

Nick was kept me well informed with what was going on in the case. He responded to my questions right away and not just by email. He would give me a call and I really appreciate that level of communication especially because I know he must be busy with other cases and time is scarce. Nick makes his c...lients feel like they matter. I highly recommend Nick to anyone with a work related issue.

Awesome Job!

One day I received a letter in the mail that wanted my signature for a class action lawsuit regarding employee misclassification. Prior to signing the letter, I completed some research and contacted Nicholas De Blow's law firm. He replied promptly with a phone call, went over the letter with me both ...the positives and negatives, if I placed my signature on that letter. After talking to De Blouw I felt he was trustworthy, knowledgeable, and a friend. I opted out of signing that letter that I got in the mail, and had De Blouw and his firm represent me with the classification matter. I am pleased I have made a friend and my matter was settled and resolved in a timely manner. Thank you!

Pleasant attorney to work with

I was recently in a lawsuit and Nick was so helpful regarding information and all the questions I had. He made sure to keep me in the loop with updates and anything he felt I should know. I had a few questions along the way and his responses were very quick and attentive to make sure they were answer...ed how I would understand. I would definitely go through him again if I needed help!!
