This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Ms. Bolin is prompt, efficient and personable.

Ms. Bolin has provided me with exemplary legal services over the past twenty years. She successfully represented me with several Real Estate transactions, but was extremely helpful during my divorce proceedings. I was very anxious about the whole process, but her professionalism combined with persona...l service eased my anxiety, and her tenacity was beneficial.

Thank you, ever so much, Pamella for your kind words. My greatest satisfaction in the law is not just achieving results for my clients, but making sure they understand I am there to help them sort through the legal issues they are dealing with, irrespective of the outcome of the case. I believe that allows clients to be fully engaged in order to make informed decisions about their cases.

THERE IS NO ONE BETTER!

Ngozi Bolin is a brilliant extremely knowledgeable attorney who is always willing to provide consult and litigation services which far exceeds that of her peers. I have known Ngozi for nearly 30 years; I have worked with her, for her and I have seen her in full litigation mode. There truly is no on...e better for your legal needs. Priceless!

Thank you for what you taught me over the years and for fighting on behalf of many clients with me. Thank you for forgoeing your privacy to publicly endorse me. Many blessings to you and the family.

Outstanding Attorney!

I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. My attorney fought hard for me. She went above a...nd beyond and did everything she could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. Thank you, Ms. Bolin, I thank you not just for your expertise and professionalism but for your kindness during one of the most difficult times in my life. Your kindness pulled me through. Ms. Bolin has such a unique quality in the way she represents you and handles herself in the court room. I notice how she was quite respected by the other attorney for the other side. I highly recommend Ms. Bolin, her knowledge of the law is impeccable.

Goodness! Thank you some much C H for this wonderful endorsement. Thank you for placing your trust in me. It was truly an honor to stand up for you and fight with you. Thank you for your wisdom and great opinions that helped me fight harder. I am particularly happy that I was able to calm your nerves through your ordeal. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I wish you good fortune, serenity, good health, laughter and a magnificent life.

There is no better advice

Ms. Bolin has tried and won multiple cases for me over the span of 2 decades, both personal and professional. She has handled all of my business disputes – including the ones that needed to be litigated – and has never lost. She has been through it all and there is no one I trust more when it comes t...o legal advice. I understand she is now focused on consulting only, and I am not surprised. Her counsel is indispensable. If she tells you your case should go to mediation instead of court, you should believe her. If she tells you that you have no case and to walk away, you should take that advise to heart. And if she tells you to fight, then you know you should fight. Knowing where you stand before spending a dollar on retaining a lawyer is priceless, and hiring her for a little of her time will be the best money you can possibly spend.

Thank you so very much for your kind words. Thank you for entrusting your business and personal matters to me. One of the best things I've accomplished for my client is do all in my power to spare them from unnecessary stress and to only undertake litigation as the last resort. I have never shied away from that and have successfully tried many cases. The client comes first, second and last. It is critical to me that I am sure of what the client needs so that I can zealously represent the interests of that client within the bounds of the law. Thank you again for taking the time to review me publicly and for the trust you placed in me all these decades.

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.
