i wanted to find the best possible laywer for me and my son , i had heard threw alot of people that nicole was excellent . i had a con artist of a ex husband that ALWAYS. got his way and threatned to take my son from me every chance he had . nicole didnt let that happen! She took him to trial for my order of protection and we won! She is sweet and nice but she is aggressive when you least expect it and when it is needed! Thats what i wanted someone aggresive but she knows the law inside and out, everything she has told me has been true. Shes everything you need in. Laywer! Hire her to win!! Were still going to court for divorce i will give a update and review . she told me to trust her witch is hard for me to do in the begining but i did and she was right about everything andwe won! she knows what shes doing you just have to trust her. She has your best intrest at heart!

My experience with this attorney and her office was unacceptable. She does not return calls, does not complete work in a timely manner, and is not honest about reasons for delays or status of your case when you finally do speak to her. I would not recommend her or anyone in her office.

My experience with this attorney was so deppressing. she never gave me advise. No return calls, no mail or email and you are the one to call them to update your case everytime. I worked really hard to pay this attorney and she did not really do her job. I really dissapointed to hire her. Im not recomend this attorney at all.

She does not respond in a timely manner, and sometimes there was no response. She handled a child support case, a situation where I had moved to another area when my son was 17. I owed the child support, by law, so that part, I do not dispute. My ex-husband did not talk with me, so we could not work out an agreement, which is why this was in the court system to begin with. Ms. Beran, however, despite me emailing her multiple times over one year failed to address the stop payment on this order. This error cost me over $4000.00. So, for four months past the time of my obligated commitment, my ex-husband continued to receive money garnished from my wages. Ms. Beran never put a stop date on the court order. I mentioned this in numerous emails to her, for a year prior to the expiration of my obligation. The judge ruled that since she failed to notify opposing counsel on the stop date, my ex-husband was able to keep the extra payments.

Attorney never returns phone calls or emails. According to other Attorneys that I have spoken with my case was a sure win with custody, child support and visitation and I lost anyway. Steer clear!!!
