My New Go To Attorney

I highly recommend Christopher Nichols for your legal needs.I was in a rush to find some legal advice regarding an unlawful termination during Covid19 and was having trouble getting call backs. He called me back very quickly and really valued my time.  He is incredibly honest, knowledgeable, and very... professional with a great personality. He makes you feel like you are working as a team, not just a client, and is an incredible listener. He will put everything he has into your case and then some. We reached a successful settlement in the end and I could not be happier with Mr. Nichols’s guidance and support. Thank you so much, Chris!

Grateful for all his help!

Last week my husband and I were really struggling on how to go about a civil case. We were running out of time so I went on google and other websites to find an attorney that could help us. Because of the pandemic going on I couldn't get ahold of many attorneys that I called. We were stressing out, w...e didn't know what to do, until one day I called this office and first of all the woman who answered the phone was really nice and patient. Shortly after I received a call from Christopher and i spoke to him about our case and how we didn't have direction on what to do, where to go, or who to call. Before I called them I had called several attorneys and law firms but they said that they didn't have an attorney that could assist us or that they didn't work in that type of case. Christopher was like a light at the end of the tunnel, he gave me great advice on how to go about the case and he even reached out to an attorney that knew could help us and shortly after that attorney got in contact with us. We felt such a huge relief, and it was all thanks to the people in this law group, they truly care about the people and have their best interests in mind.

Thank you! Thank You! Thank You!

I would love to tell him how much he helped me put my stress at ease. When we first spoke you treated me like the lawsuit was us against them even though you didn't represent me in the case yet. Appreciate the letter you wrote and you taking into understanding my money situation. Also you checking in... on me and taking a lot of stress off me! You guys rock! Ty, ty, ty!

Great Job Representing

I worked with Chris pretty recently. He wrote a letter and negotiated on my behalf. He was very professional and detailed in all our matters with the opposing party and on the flip side was very personable in one-on-one meetings with me. Definitely recommend to anyone seeking legal advice.

Got Me More than 30x My Original Offer!

At Webb Law Group, the attorneys can win your case. Christopher Nichols was kind, and he explained my case and rights in a way that was easy for me to understand. I was part of a group of plaintiffs trying to get our wages back. My original offer was less than $1,000, and I ended up getting over $30,...000 because of Christopher Nichols!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
