Nicole L Deering

Nicole was hired halfway through a messy and contentious case with a court date quickly approaching. We had to change counsel abruptly (no communication for 3 months) and interviewed a half dozen attorney's before settling on Nicole. Nicole is honest and will give you her expert opinion to get the be...st outcome for you and for your children. She is honest, thorough and real. The other party was almost impossible to communicate with and was purposely difficult every step of the way. Nicole pressured and held the other counsel and party to deadlines and ensured that we ended this arduous battle with an outcome that the children were happy with. She is an excellent communicator and used every tool in her disposal (Word, email, text and phone) to make sure we were all on the same page and our concerns and requests were addressed. All during a pandemic. THIS WAS A NIGHTMARE FOR OVER 2 YEARS! Nicole brought a solid parenting plan and stability that was necessary for the kid's development and social well-being. Her staff is responsive and courteous and there was a definite team feeling from their firm. We felt thoroughly supported and never had to wonder if they were over-billing. I would recommend her and her firm to anybody dealing with a difficult ex or just wants a solid honest attorney. We were not her largest or most complex case but she was focused on our case, when working on it. No nonsense, no filler and complete transparency. She is deeply respected in Portland, and she lived up to her reputation. Thanks Nicole and Team!

Nicole helped me navigate through one of the most crucial times in my life. She provided sincere, expert advice with a straight forward and compassionate style. I feel grateful because Nicole was so dedicated to my divorce case and parenting plan. The outcomes in court were all positive and I woul...d recommend Nicole to friends and family.
