Our Family Lawyer for the last 10 years

We have had Nicki on retainer for the better part of 10 years. She has been a serious asset to our family the entire time. We first retained Nicki when my fiancé needed representation around messy child custody issues with a dead-beat dad. She walked us through the steps of mediation and helped us w...ith a restraining order, negotiating terms of custody, and arranging supervised exchanges with minimal time in court. When the dead-beat got arrested for unrelated issues, Nicki was quick to help us get back into court to edit the terms of custody. Years later, when the dead-beat grew up and learned how to behave himself, Nicki was there for us to change the terms of the visits without spending unnecessary time and money in the courtroom. She is knowledgeable in all areas of family law and her years as a professional in Alameda County will pay off for you in the long run - her credibility throughout the courthouse allow you to get everything you need done quick and efficiently.

I would recommend Nikki very highly

Nikki is amazing. We hired her on a moments notice. Our case seemed like a lost cause. The attorney that was representing us was terrible and actually told us to get ready to lose that there was no hope. Nikki was recommended to us and just in time. I can't say it enough, she was amazing. She b...rought us out of the depths and today everything is as it should be. The custody case was difficult and took almost a year but we are through it with Nikki leading the charge.

Highly Recommend!

Since 2001 when my divorce process began, right through recently when I had simple questions I needed answers for, and any and all bumps in-between, Nikki Clark has been there for me and my children all the way. Her number one concerns were always keeping my children's needs and well-being first, an...d keeping costs down. She has miles and miles of patience, but also has a passionate side that will be fiercely protective when necessary. While it was never fun to deal with divorce and all that comes with it, I could always count on Nikki to be real, and to have our backs. She was present for us whenever we needed her and worked with us on sensitive issues in a most professional manner, but with the heart of a mother. Nikki's knowledge and experience got us through even the most ridiculous twists and turns that sometimes I never saw coming or expected to happen. Well-prepared, professional, strong, smart, experienced, well-respected, honest, caring. Nikki Clark is a classy and top-notch person. I highly recommend hiring Nikki Clark.

Talented, knowledgeable, efficient

I have worked with Nikki several times over the past few years, from my original divorce through to several rounds of alterations and a sizable child custody dispute. She has helped me focus on the most important points and work toward the best outcome for my children, and she has very effectively s...treamlined the process to keep the cost manageable. The result has been positive and my children are happy and stable, and Nikki has been instrumental in bringing us here.

"I can't say enough about Nikki. She taught me so much about family law when starting out and is always available to answer questions or help out. I can honestly say I am a better lawyer for knowing her. If you are in need of a family law attorney, don't even think twice, Nikki knows the law flat out and has all the tools at her disposal to get you the best result possible. Not to mention she is a pleasure to work with and could not be more respected in the legal community."
