Posted by anonymous | February 15, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Hired for family law

About a year ago I hired Nicole Fortune for a custody/visitation battle. After already being awarded full physical and legal custody of my daughter (2 years prior), the other party, out of blue, filed for immediate joint physical custody due to certain false allegations. A lawyer was necessary to put... the allegations to bed and to push for the thousands of dollars of back child support that was owed to me. Nicole was very honest as what I needed to supply as far as discovery to go forward and as far as the outcome. She helped me become even more organized than I was in a short amount of time. I was thoroughly prepared for our court date no matter what the outcome would be. After no discovery was supplied by the other party and a continuance of our court date the case was eventually dismissed. While I can only speak regarding family law cases, I would highly recommend Nicole Fortune and would use her again if necessary.

A professional you want on your side

Nicole represented me on both a Labor case as an employee and in a civil matter as a business owner. She does her home work and helped me make the right tactical choices throughout the proceedings. Her professionalism and communication allowed me to navigate a very negative situation.

Family Law, Custody

Contact at a privite gathering on two occasions. Very impressed with Ms. Fortune's knowledge of law, issue's related to my on going divorce and custody problems. Importantly her years of experience related to the court system in New Hampshire, the players and it's history. Most importantly the confi...dence she has with regard to positive outcomes from proper lidigation. Detail oriented progresstion of the many topic's of my case, custody, child support, mediation, emergency filings, to best serve my child needs and my best interests. Impressive, someone who works closely with you, not from a distance, to meet your needs and allows a full and timely understanding of all proceedings. The confidence I gained from having attorney Fortune's exellent court room presence. certainly lacking in other attorney's I have had contact with. I highly reccomend attorney Fortune for your legal needs. P. A. Gagnon.
