Finished my dads fight!

We were recommended to Nicole by a close family friend and I'm glad she did. My dad had been trying to get approved for social security disability and was getting no where and unfortunately past away shortly after. I was talking with our friend Nancy about everything my sister and I were going through and she told me to call Nicole. We had already done some of the leg work as far as paperwork goes, but after the first court appearance we realized we were way over our head. After speaking with her the first time I felt a huge weight lifted of my shoulders. She went to bat for us... More importantly our father. We found out we won our case Friday and couldn't be happier with the way we were treated. Thanks Nicole for everything you've done for me and my family. Sean

I am hiring Nicole tomorrow if she will accept my case. She was prompt on returning my calls and answering my emails. She was pleasant to talk with and is the type of person I hope to work with a proven track record.

Really helped me

I recommend Ms. Franklin as a terrific Lawyer for disability. Because of her I didn't even have to wait a long time. She won my case really fast because she knows what she's doing. You can't go wrong with her.

Nicole did a terrific job!

Nicole just helped me with my DUI charge. I can't thank her enough. She saved my license from being suspended and I can go on with my life. I'm so happy I found Nicole.

She won me disability when I was previously turned down

I’m a veteran and I have 100% disability from the VA. Social security turned me down and I was told to just forget about it because I was going to school. Nicole won my social security at my hearing. The judge even told me I was disabled right on the spot. Nicole was prepared and knew her stuff. I would definitely recommend her.

Smart and caring lawyer

Nicole was my attorney and helped me get disability. It was a tough time for me and my wife because I had to shut down my construction business because of my bad back. She took a lot of time talking to me and my wife before and after my disability hearing. She won my case and helped us through a very difficult time. I highly recommend this lawyer.

A positive experience during a tough time... Mrs. Franklin is wonderful!

A couple years ago Nicole Franklin helped me with a few traffic infractions. There was even one that my friends referred to as 'not a chance.' Mrs. Franklin miraculously managed to get it reduced in addition to getting the other 2 thrown out completely! I could not have been happier with my experience! She made me feel comfortable without judging me for my prior mistakes. I felt informed of my options throughout every step of the way. I hope I never have to call her again (fingers crossed)... but I will continue to refer her to anyone and everyone who could use her help.
