Nicole was there when I needed her the most. She was relatable and understood all the troubles I was facing. Best of all, she was able to come up with a solution for everything. I appreciate all she's done and would recommend her to anyone.
Nicole handled and is still dealing with a difficult case in a difficult jurisdiction and has defended me and my rights aggressively while maintaining complete professional standing and respect with the Judge, Prosecutor and Police. She deftly avoided trial and was practical and cost effective. As well her paralegal Tory is also very professional helpful and sympathetic.
When you are injured in a car accident, we aren't afraid of insurance companies or defense lawyers and we want you to have the best recovery possible. Your future is important to us.
WHEN YOU NEED HELP IN A CRISIS, I AM DEDICATED TO THE FIGHT, PERSONALLY. AGGRESSIVE. SUCCESSFUL. WE OFFER PHONE, VIDEO, AND PERSONAL CONSULTATIONS. BORN AND RAISED IN THE NW, I GRADUATED CUM LAUDE FROM LEWIS & CLARK LAW SCHOOL IN 2006 AND HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT EVER SINCE.

A Genuine, Caring Attorney
It has been almost seven years since I hired Ms. Dalton to represent me in an extremely stressful family guardianship case. Her calm, warm way of helping a very scared client made what I was going through tolerable. My life has changed a lot since that time, but I always wanted to let her know how much I appreciate how well she handled my case and her thoughtfulness.

From Contemptuous to Contentedness
The presiding judge asked if I had council. I answered, Dalton in Vancouver, to which he replied, "Good attorney." Ms. Dalton had the skill to resolve the charges against me without penalty, and she possessed the charm to make the procedure as pleasant as possible. Ms. Dalton exudes competence and has a great office in a historic house. I'm pleased to have met her.

Excellent Law Office!
Nicole Dalton and her awesome staff took on a difficult case for me. We all knew it was difficult. Ms. Dalton was not intimidated and she fought for me with an amazing sense of justice. The case got even weirder and more difficult and Nicole never gave up on me, even when other attorneys would have. She continued to fight brilliantly on my behalf and had amazing colleagues that helped along the way. And then...she won!!!
If you’re looking for a brilliant defense attorney with skills and a sense of real justice, look no further. Nicole Dalton should be your choice.

She changed my opion of lawyers
I met Ms. Dalton as most of us meet our attorney, because I found myself in a real mess. I was going through a divorce, had issues with my drivers license, had just been put in jail, had considered suicide...you get the picture. Enter Ms. Dalton. From my first phone contact to my last appearance before the judge Ms. Dalton has been nothing short of amazing. Her legal advice, calm demeanor, contacts in the legal system and willingness to help me, helped change the course of my life. I have six months of sobriety, am driving again and am a productive citizen.
My recommendation of Ms. Dalton is nothing but stellar. She is everything I believed lawyers were not...trustworthy, honest, reliable, caring, intelligent, decent, humble and genuine. If you are considering hiring an attorney speak to Ms. Dalton in your search. May you be as fortunate as I am.

If you need a Lawyer you must Read
I was about to give up after being convicted of 4 Misdemeanors > This was a situation of a relationship ending and a call made by my exwife alleging Domestic Assault , resisting arrest, interfering with a police officer , and Harassment. After my conviction I was sentenced to 60days work release ,however because of being self employed it was denied so I was going to jail and I honestly never laid a hand on my Spouse . It was just this one way system in a County that I feel is very hard to get the truth out.
To make things worse I was going to loose my contract because I was in Jail . So no job and 60 days in jail and in my mid forties .
I contacted Nicole and She was willing to look at the case and review hours of transscripts . This process took almost a year until She presented in front of the Appeals Judge. As we got closer to the Date Nicole became more Optimistic and not being a lawyer I could see all of the work she had done however this had taken souch a tole on me that I was afraid to even read her brief . Once I read the Brief I was very optimistic .Nicole had painstakenly gone over everytrhing and had several solid points ,however focussed on one and did amazing research providing current Decisions by the Supreme Court to supprt her Arguement .
Nicole preformed like a Champion Prize Fighter , during the hearing I went from terrified to very hopeful that she would prevail .
And she did ,she had all 4 convictions Vacated with Prejudice . There is no match for this Attorney . Do not let her Modesty fool you, She has Fire In Her Gut !!! She saved my lively hood and turned an incident that was going to destroy my Carreer and life into a case of bad judgement.
It still has not sunk in ,the enormity of what she accomplished with a very Technical Arguement .
I am confident that no one else could have taken this mess and come out with a win .
Thank you Nicole Dalton

Excellent & Professional Attorney and provides excellent services without prolonging the issues. Others could learn from her.
I had a very unfortunate event which involved having to hire an attorney after firing another, the prior was dragging out the case and costing thousands of dollars, Ms. Dalton used the LAW, approached the proper individuals and properly had the matter resolved as it should have and was expeditiously in doing so.
I highly recommend this attorney to anyone for any legal matter as she deals with the LAW not the politics in this county.
