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.

Employee Misclassification Suit

Nick and his team represented our group against an employer - they were easy to communicate with, quick, and the outcome of the case was beyond what anyone was expecting!

Beyond expectations

My expectations were low for my case (employee misclassification) against a former employer, but Nicholas did a tremendous job answering all my questions and easing my doubts, and I felt confident that he'd get the job done. His team went beyond my expectations, and I couldn't have asked for a better... outcome.

Above Excellence

Atty.Nick and his staff were awesome! I am very skeptical at first because of so many questions running through my mind, but every question I asked were given with the right and on point answer.

Seamless and Painless experience which exceeded expectations

I came across Mr. Nicholas De Blouw online while I was researching a pending employment lawsuit against the company in question. I submitted an online inquiry through the company's website. Within a few days, I was signed up and onboard. I was kept apprised of all progress up to the settlement. I was... pleasantly surprised by the professional representation and the outcome exceeded my expectations.
