Knowledgable-Professional-Honest

My case had multiple facets to it, but I was most interested in getting the finance aspects of my divorce taken care of by dividing the finances appropriately, rather than fighting and the courts getting all the money. Nicole took my case and was able to professionally and promptly execute each acti...on item while clearly explaining it to me throughout the entire process. Nicole was able to keep several issues out of court thus keeping the cost down and the time of being in court was reduced as well. Nicole was confident and realistic when it came to dividing assets and support figures, and she wasn’t bullied by opposing counsel’s ridiculous attempts of working through it.

Great attorney

Nicole brought a peaceful ending to my case, got me a great result and I am grateful I hired her. My ex was very angry and unrealistic and she was able to resolve my case even when my ex filed ridiculous declarations that were untrue. She was knowledgeable about the law and came up with a smart str...ategy for me. Divorce is pretty difficult and you want someone on your side that understands the law and listens to you. I would recommend her to my friends and family and that's the highest compliment I can give Nicole.

Life Changer

Where to begin? After two previous attorney's and not getting anywhere with my child custody battle I hear about Nicole 'The Bulldog' Fraser. She'll endlessly fight for you until your 110% satisfied. I went from having one overnight with my daughter to 50/50 custody once I got Nicole on my side. ...Only thing I regret was not finding her sooner.

Nicole Fraser is amazing!

She provides personal service from a small firm. She is excellent in negotiation as well as litigation. She hears your concerns, gives you expert advice and realistic expectations, and then surpasses them. I was coming out of a long term marriage as the primary income and she was able to get me an am...azing settlement.

Move-Away Case

I was facing a life changing decision of losing my son in a daunting move-away child custody case and I can't express my gratitude enough to Nicole for winning my case. Her tenacity, professionalism, and expertise absolutely had a major impact on the judge's decision. She always treated me like f...amily and hiring her was the best decision I have ever made. I definitely recommend her to anyone facing a divorce or custody issue. Oh and FYI, I met her as Nicole Hadji-Agha, but she is now Nicole Fraser.

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.
