I have been working towards finalizing my divorce for over 4 years now, This team of attorneys is amazing, they got the job done timely and were so effective at dealing with both sides of this with unprecedented grace. My paralegal went to bat for me and was amazing at what she does. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone else needing an attorney. They are extremely professional and really care about their clients and aren’t about the money, they have heart. If I ever need another attorney again they are my go to, I couldn’t be happier this chapter in my life is finally closed.
Gene Nichols is an amazing lawyer. I am a client, and would highly recommend him to anyone in need. The staff is friendly and personable and will work incredibly hard for you. I could not trust anyone more. He demonstrates a high level of professionalism and personal attention to all his clients. I don't have enough words to describe how amazing my experience was with this firm. Highly recommend.
I've known Gene (along with dozens of other lawyers) for over 10 years but never thought I would need his services. But that's not how life works sometimes. When my family member needed help, I knew there was only one person to call. Gene was professional, helpful, knowledgeable and mater-of-fact in his work. He is a honest man and worked hard to reach an honorable outcome. I hold him in the highest regards and would not hesitate to recommend or retain him again if needed.
From the minute I called Gene he took control of my case and lead me straight through to a incredible outcome in an unfortunate situation. He combined law and compassion to deal with the legal side of the issue as well as the human side. I am forever grateful to have Gene in my corner and never once felt I was just a number in a file - top notch attorney and a stand up individual.
In my life, I NEVER planned on being in a situation where I needed an attorney. But when that unfortunate day arrived I knew only one man to call: Gene Nichols. I knew Gene personally as an honest, hardworking leader in the community. He's a good man. I was pleased to learn--he's an even better attorney. Gene handled my case directly and stayed in constant contact with me to share updates and new information pertaining to my case. He handled the case quickly and thoroughly. I felt like I knew exactly what was happening at every stage of the process. He was honest with me about the likelihood of each scenario. Gene's legal expertise and prominent reputation in the legal community made my experience as stress-free as these things can be. He took a personal interest in my case and really made me feel like he was fighting for me. If you want the highest quality experience with a bright, honest and effective attorney--I strongly recommend Gene Nichols. He delivers!
I have had to hire over 4 attorney within a year and until I found Mr. Nichols I had given up all hope in law and I had lost all faith and trust in lawyers! Attorney Eugene Nichols changed my mind 100%! Individuals seeking legal advice, help and representation need not look any further, Attorney Eugene Nichols is your man. Mr. Nichols's professionalism, follow through and expertise was above all my expectations. He represents the field of law in such a way that Mr. Nichols brings nothing but compassion, integrity and honor to the justice system. I would recommend his services a million times over! Thank you so much Eugene! I pray that I can raise my boys to have the kind of character you have! We are so grateful for your help!
Attorney Nichols is a fine attorney with an excellent moral character. He treats all of his clients as if they are his only client. He works hard to ensure that each and every client is treated fairly and are given the best deal possible. He ensures that all of his clients understand and are fully aware of their plea agreements. He is a fine trial attorney and if he takes your case to trial he will win it. He is not an attorney who just does the work for the money; he genuinely cares about his clients and his staff. I recommend him without reservation.
Mr. Nichols is the best lawyer one could ask for. I went to him with a charge that has a mandatory jail sentence. My daughter was just born so I was scared to death of leaving my wife and her alone. When I talked to him for the first time I could tell he knew what he was talking about and he was very honest. I did not feel like he was telling me what I wanted to hear so he could get my money, so I chose him. After one week of him taking my case, he called me back into his office to talk. When I got there he told me that we were going to go talk to the state attorney, and if everything went well they would give me pre-trial intervention for six months and then drop the charges. That's pretty incredible that they didn't prosecute . Trust me they had enough evidence against me to do so. Somehow he got all the charges dropped and I never even had to go to court. He had serious influence on state attorney's decision. That is what everyone is looking for when they hire an attorney for a criminal defense case. Best choice I have ever made letting him fight my case. Highly recommended!
The consultation he came off as a go getter, that he had my best interest in mind, and that I could contact him anytime. The only complaint was the lack of communication. I would have to initiate the lines of communication and often it went unanswered until last minute. But he got the job done and I believe it was the best possible outcome for my situation.
During my experience with Gene I was unaware of what was goin on until the day I was about to lose my case... he told me one thing in the beginning and a whole lot different towards the end. Felt unworthy.
