This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Results!!

Mr. Nault displayed excellent skill in arguing my case far exceeding my expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend him. I had a difficult appeal that I did not feel confident could be won, but Mr. Nault was successful in defending my case and convincing the Judge to reverse the trial court's f...inding.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
