Excellent lawyer and mentor
Ricardo has helped me in many ways over the years. I picked up a number of criminal cases -- mostly alcohol related. Ricardo did a great job on all of my cases -- and some were pretty serious. He kept me out prison, and got judges to give me chances to get myself together. Ricardo cared about me ...

More Than Just an Attorney
I got a felony charge for possession of heroin about six months ago and Ric was with me through it every step of the way. He gave me his number to contact him with any questions about my case throughout all of our visits to court. He made me feel as though he was truly on my team and there to help ...

Best DUI Attorney!!
I would highly recommend Mr. Nicol to anyone looking for a criminal defense attorney. Mr. Nicol has represented me in a DUI and Suspended License. He was able to quickly resolve my cases successfully.

A Great Attorney!
I retained Mr Nicol to help me on some serious drug related charges back in 2000. My first offer was something like 23 years but after some hard work on Mr. Nicols part he was able to reduce this to 180 days and a program.

Ricardo Alfredo Nicol's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"In Rick's office is a 2 x 3 foot picture of a man shooting at people in a bar. It was the key evidence in a District Attorney's "easy case". Rick's result: Not Guilty. Even the client couldn't believe he was free. The stunned DA gave Rick the evidence as congratulations. Rick was in trial because he knew he had figured out the weakness that would win the case. Instead of life in prison, the client is free. Rick won't brag. If you ask, he will tell you how he wins so often. I can tell you, he holds the highest rank an enlisted man can hold in the United States Army - full Colonel. He has the same commitment to his clients that got him to the top in the U.S. Army. He just will not let go until he succeeds. I had at least 3 Co-D cases with Rick and won them. If you are reading this, go now and hire Rick. Your chance will increase 100%. He is your one smart choice and opportunity to have success in your case."
"I endorse this lawyer. Not only is he a certified specialist in criminal law he is always focused on the client as a human being who can become a better person through his representation. He is particularly gifted in representing and helping clients with drug or alcohol related criminal issues to get their lives back on track."
