Nicole Valentine

I do not recommend hiring this attorney. I Had 2 conversations with this attorney that was very unprofessional. I spent $4,000 for two conversations and for her to send one email to The DAG With a deal right above from me loosing my license and stipulations that weren’t related to me. As I switched f...rom an inexperienced attorney with their firm to her it took approximately a month for her to contact me and she missed two meetings. They waited a month before my hearing to submit documents. No lawyer told me what to expect in by situation leaving me blinded the entire time. She kept asking me for documents she needed that I sent to the previous attorney last year who is her colleague. And also asking for documents that would put my current job in jeopardy. She did not fight for me and it seems like I was another case out of $4000. Luckily I found a way more experienced and empathetic attorney who took my case and fought for me. It sucks that I lost $4000 and was misguided by Rn guardian and goyette.

I chose to use Nicole after a friend had a positive outcome with her services regarding a DWI. Although my accusation with the BON was not drug related, I hired Nicole because honestly I didn't know who else to turn to. Unfortunately after taking my money, Nicoles communication dropped drastica...lly. Many phone calls and emails went unanswered and I would often have to send several follow up emails to achieve answers to simple case-related questions. Many questions went unanswered or unacknowledged altogether. Sometimes it would take over a week for her to get back to me. Having never been in legal trouble my finding out about my accusation was both traumatic and confusing. Nicole did not ease any of this anxiety nor did she offer much guidance. Her counsel was flippant at best. Before accepting my payment she assured me we would examen my case/accusation line by line, however once my discovery came through she sent me my case nearing 1000 pages and left me to examen the document myself. When my settlement offer came through rather than calling me to explain/discuss the offer she literally sent me a 5 word sentence with a major typo - she clearly is not attentive to her clients or their often times life altering cases. With Nicole I did not feel heard, represented, or advocated for, nor did I achieve a respectable or just outcome. I terminated Nicoles service prior to my case settlement and strongly discourage people from using her as well.
