DV and False Report Charges

Nick's name is a credit on your case within police departments and prosecutors' offices in entire Michigan. Nick surprisingly is few steps a head of your expectations from an attorney. I just wanted to extend my heartfelt gratitude for Nick seeing me as an international woman on such tense and tough ...situation that I was in the USA. He saved my legal status, visa, my name and credit aggressively defended me. Nick is the best ever in his job, knowledgeable and very well experienced attorney, which you cannot meet within every law firm entire MI. He tells you a head what is going on in the law enforcements and prosecutors' heads. I interviewed other attorney and did not seemed to care about me quite the way that Nick did. I wish him continues doing what he does. I am sure he puts his other clients at ease as well. His staff and office on the other hand extended the same warm caring concern as he does. He should know it is not overlooked and definitely appreciated by those under stress from a legal situation. He is man of good manners who is an honor to meet in your life. Again, I’d like to thank him for his time, patience, concern, hard working and a quick response to me and my people. May God bless you Nick and your staff.

Excellent results

I would absolutely hire Mr. Bostic again to handle all of my attorney needs! Very knowledgeable, very compassionate and great at his job!! He and his staff did a phenomenal job when representing me. I would most definitely recommend him if your looking for a straight forward, hard working and trus...t worthy attorney.

Not worth a dime.

Hired this "attorney" to represent me in an unemployment case. First, his staff sends communications to the wrong state offices, which causes my hearing to be delayed by multiple months, but then when it finally is released back to the courts for scheduling, takes zero interest in contacting the app...ropriate courts to get me a hearing date. Refuses to return phone calls most of the time, and when he does return calls, he acts very callous and pompous. He did zero legwork for my case, filed no subpoenas, made no phone calls, did no evidence gathering of any kind. I did all the work and provided it all to him. Finally, after four months of wasting my time, he backs out of representing me completely, citing the fact that I ripped his staff members one after he called me and tried to dress me down in a short message earlier that day. This man has wasted my time and cost me tons of money. I regret ever stepping foot in his office. Don't make the mistake I did.

  • 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.
