I endorse this lawyer. Nick is an honest and hard-working lawyer who is very caring of his clients. As his former mentor (it does not seem like he needs me much anymore) I know that Nick has a good grasp of the issues in his cases and knows the right questions to ask to find the best solutions for his clients' problems.
