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 !!

Mr.

My divorce was a long time coming, and I had many misconceptions. The process was extremely uncomfortable, and I would encourage anyone to do ANYTHING they can to save their marriage before they consider divorce. That being said, if you reach a point like the one I did, and had no alternative, Azem...ika & Azemika is worth every penny. Nick explained everything in detail, and walked through the entire process with me. His expertise shielded me from rash and/or uneducated decisions. His presence kept me from having to engage the court, and now ex-wife, and proved the most valuable offering he could make. There comes a point when you are thinking about the money you are paying out, and you think you have a good handle on everything, but I can say that there were moments in the courthouse when the emotions were overwhelming, and I am so glad he was there. Bridgett is an incredibly sweet person and makes me feel welcome and comfortable every time I come into the office. She and Kim both walked me through all of the paperwork along the way and helped me do everything that I needed to get done. Whenever I call into their office, or if I am fortunate enough to be able to walk in, Bridgett treats me wonderfully and makes me feel like family. Thank you, Nick and family, for everything. I don't know how I would have gotten through this process without all of your help!

Consultation

My divorce consultation went well. Mr. Azemika gave me truthful answers to my questions. He didn’t sugar coat anything & let me know, regardless, CA is a 50/50 state & that is what the end result will be. He did not lead me on about anything. He was very professional.

Fantastic attorney

Nick Azemika was very attentive and provided great services to me. I have used other family law attorneys before, but none of them were as professional and hard-working as Nick. He got me the results that he promised me when I first met him in his office. He is very personable and well liked by th...e judges and the court staff. He and his twin brother are very well known and liked by the judges and all the people in the court house. I was recommended to Nick and his brother by several people and I would not have any problem recommending them to any of my family members or friends.
