Highly recommended

Nick Azemika has been my one and only family law attorney; but I can confidently say that without him, my divorce and custody battle would have been MUCH more stressful. I think many attorneys over promise and under deliver, while Nick gives a conservative assessment of the situation, then the ac...tual outcome ends up being better than projected. That was my experience with him anyway. Nick has been working in his field a long time and is very competitive. He simply hates losing. Tell him what your priorities are and let him do his work. He’ll listen to your ideas and will jump on anything good; but if he tells you something isn’t a good plan or good idea, it’s probably not. Trust that he knows what can work, what won’t work and what’s a waste of your time and money. Speaking of money, he bills fairly. You’ll know what his rates are for all his work right up front. You shouldn’t be surprised when you get your monthly bill. He doesn’t nickel and dime you and he doesn’t charge for fri

Nick is amazing

I needed a consultation regarding family law/child custody. Nick responded right away and took his time to ask me questions about my concerns without being dismissive. During our consultation, he answered each question I had, and provided clarification. Super professional and respectful. He took his ...time when looking over my paperwork. There was no pressure to provide a retainer, he really seemed to have my best interest at heart. Personally supported me not just as my lawyer but as a friend. I was scared and not knowing the process and outcome, he always said it like it was. I would leave the office at ease every time. Nick was always on top of paperwork and responded to my emails promptly. I had the best team Nick , Kim, Bridget I would hire every time again and again if needed. Thank you so much !!

Child custody and divorce settlement

Nick, is awesome to work with, he handled my divorce case and kid custody extremely professional and by the law. Glad , It helped me to get full custody of kids as a single dad and also settle eventually complicated case of divorce with my ex . His office staff are extremely helpful, timely and knowl...edgeable. All paperwork were filed on time and Nick attended all my court appearances well prepared and planned . He is one of the best divorce and family lawyer in Bakersfield.

Got what I wanted

Nick was very involved with case. This case was drug out by my ex for 4 years and Nick got me exactly was I originally asked for. Nick's in-depth knowledge of family law and his ability to navigate the complexities of my case were truly impressive. He demonstrated a keen understanding of the legal ...intricacies, ensuring that every aspect of my divorce was addressed with thoroughness and precision. His strategic approach and attention to detail played a pivotal role in achieving a positive outcome.
