To start, I had never needed or envisioned ever needing a lawyer in my life. I found Nick's name multiple times when searching for a civil defense lawyer and scheduled a meeting with him. From the time we first met to the present day he always treated me with the utmost respect and has gone the extra mile to making me feel like I have an ally in my corner. I have called him and contacted him at just about every hour of the day and he's always been prompt with responding. He's represented me through two civil cases and helped me resolve both of them. Nick is worth every penny. He provided me with peace of mind to live my life freely while having a civil case in progress (which can feel like a looming grey cloud). He was super prepared, he gathered a ton of evidence, he was honest with me at every step of the way, and was aggressive with seeking justice (in a good way). I would recommend Nick to anyone that ever needed a civil defense lawyer.
Nick is awesome. I was referred to him by a family friend during a difficult time and he did an excellent job making me feel like I had nothing to worry about and was honest and forthcoming about what exactly to expect and how to prepare. This was my first time needing to hire a lawyer, and it was an emotional and scary situation for me. Nick answered all phone calls and emails right away and was patient with my never ending questions. If I ever need a lawyer again, he is the person I would go to, no doubt about that.
Thanks again, Nick!

Amazing, knowledgeable talented lawyer
My husband and I were referred to Nick from another lawyer and we could not have been any happier. We needed help with our case regarding a restraining order and to ensure our children were protected. Nick was upfront and honest about fees, what we could expect and what he would expect of us. He returned all phone calls and emails in A very timely manner and even when we had to call him On the weekend/Holiday he was very helpfully and didn't sounds upset we had to bother him. He answered all of our questions, went to every court date and made sure we understood what was taking place , when he meet with our children he spoke to them on their level and made sure they understood also. We did get a win and he made our family very happy and our children can't wait to be kids again. If we are ever in a spot again where we need a lawyer we will be calling Nick first to see if it is an area he works with.

I am completely satisfied with Nick's care, professionalism, and attention to detail. Throughout my case, Nick always responded quickly to my calls and text messages and provided me with excellent advice. He dedicated extensive time to discuss all the possible outcomes of my case and thoroughly explained his reasonings. With Nick's help, my case was resolved and I was able to move on with my life. I would happily retain this attorney's services again.

The best San Diego attorney money can buy!
For someone new to the game, Mr. Moore is an excellent lawyer with the business sense of a much older, seasoned attorney. He has continually exceeded expectations and maintained the highest level of professionalism throughout our client-attorney relationship. Criminal law can be a very messy, unpleasant business, yet Mr. Moore always does his best to keep his clients at ease. He returns calls and emails in a timely manner and explains everything in detail. I will whole-heartedly recommend him to friends and relatives.

Dedicated Lawyer
When I was seeking for help with my immigration issue I contacted Nicholas J. Moore. Mr. Moore answered all my questions and concerns he was really helpful. He was also flexible with his time and my time to make the times of the appointment available for me and according to my schedule. When it came to filling out paperwork Mr. Moore made it simply and easy at no moment was I helpless or clueless. Mr. Moore also kept me informed and constantly fallowed up with me on my case. Thanks to the great work of Mr. Moore we successfully were able to obtain my work permit.
