This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
| Hired Attorney
Very good attorney
She kind of reminds me of Dr. Laura. Fair, kind, compassionate, yet gets down to business. While my K never made it to the court room, she was instrumental behind the scene working with me to in sure that I got a fair settlement in my mediated divorce. I thought her fees were fair based on the profession. Obviously the only inventory and attorney has is his or her time. I would definitely recommend her to my friend in the future

Nancy Bickford Provided Me With Outstanding Legal Representation In My Complicated Divorce
Nancy Bickford is the first professional I have hired through an ad in the paper (a small ad in the Carmel Valley neighborhood paper), but I am very glad I did. Nancy is both an attorney and a CPA. My divorce was complicated and involved many non-routine issues related to the unusual nature of my assets and income as well as a complex separate property situation. Nancy’s hourly billing rate is very competitive with other attorneys, and her expertise and business acumen enabled her to represent me in an efficient manner, which resulted in a very reasonable overall fee despite my complicated case. Nancy was also very patient with me. Obviously, I was very close to my case, and I had a lot of ideas as to how the case should be handled. Nancy explained to me on numerous occasions why my “good” ideas really were not that good. :- ) She did so with understanding of my emotional attachment to the case, and on a few occasions with good humor, but always with respect. I have no complaints regarding Nancy’s representation of me, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a family law attorney.

Happy client
Nancy was referred to me by a friend who had hired Nancy for her divorce years ago.  Before going for my consultation, I had consulted with a few other attorneys and never felt the right chemistry with any of them.  From the moment I stepped into Nancy’s office I was greeted by friendly staff who immediately made me feel welcomed and at ease during a really stressful time.  Nancy was warm and inviting and made me feel very comfortable from the start.   Throughout the course of my case, Nancy has continued to gain my confidence in her skills and I firmly believe that she cares about me and my needs.  I highly recommend Nancy Bickford as a family law attorney.

Excellent & Professional Family Lawyer
I hired Nancy Bickford for my divorce. Nancy was very kind and helpful in making what could have been a very difficult and confusing situation into one that I felt in control of and confident in. She handled my case with the utmost professionalism. Her staff was kind and attentive. Should I ever need a family law attorney again (cross my fingers I don't), I would certainly look to Nancy for her guidance once again.
