This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Competent. Helpful. Educational. Good with Special Needs.

We badly needed to update our estate plan and we wanted to establish a special needs trust for two children. The update was a vast improvement in its content and in the format. In the process we learned a great deal. We went ahead with one child’s special needs trust but held off on the other — a hel...pful suggestion.

Will & Trust

Amy Fisher is our lawyer from the firm and she has been very professional and knowledgeable. She has asked and answered all of our questions pertaining to our will and trust. All of the members of the Nickerson team have been terrific including Rebecca and Cassandra. I would recommend this law firm t...o anyone in need of a will / trust.

Great personality

So easy to talk to. He explains things in laymen words. He listened to our concerns and made recommendations regarding the SNT for our son.

Professional, prompt, and knowledgeable service!

As newlyweds, my wife and I were looking to prepare our living wills and power of attorney forms. We went to Jeff for help in the process and we couldn't be happier with the results. Jeff was FANTASTIC: he guided us through the process of generating these important documents, gave us advice about ...what kinds of considerations we should factor into our decision making process, and drafted the final documents for us to sign. In addition, he was able to notarize them, making them official. All in all, Jeff was a consummate professional: he worked quickly and precisely, demonstrated in-depth knowledge, and made what can often seem like a depressing, anxiety-inducing exercise into an overall positive experience. Jeff has our highest recommendation!
