About

If you're looking for a long-term solution to your war, and not simply looking to win a single battle, you've found your family law attorney.  My conflict resolution strategies get results.  Many people search for "aggressive" family law attorneys, not realizing that there is a better way.  I continute to be successful against even the most seasoned attorneys because my approach is "refreshing" to most judges. Gone are the days of attorneys duking it out in court like you see on television; and most attorneys' failure to recognize that simple fact helps me be successful for my clients.    I recognize that each situation is different and therefore, I work with clients to formulate a unique strategy for their case.  Looking toward long-term resolution for current issues and anticipating future issues also saves many clients money because many issues are dealt with simultaneously at one cost. Having gone through divorce myself with two children, I understand the frustration of working with the other spouse/parent and how daunting the court process can be.  My personal experience makes me patient and eager to give each client individual attention. Prior to being an attorney, I managed another law office for 7 years and worked part-time as a paralegal in that same office.  Before joining the legal field, I worked as an insurance claims representative for more than 10 years.  My extensive work history in both fields has given me valuable experience in conflict resolution and negotiation, and has taught me how to be aggressive in necessary situations.

Regarding our case in which MS Herd thoroughly and admirably defended us. She is a highly honorable champion, in our opinion. In working with her, we experienced that she has integrity, highly experienced in the law, she’s quick to react, great personality, and she instills trust. She handled both our cases in court, and won both.

I have been meaning to write a review here for a while now. I hired Nisa not long ago to handle a bit of a complex case, and I've gotta say I'm monumentally impressed with her performance, ethics, and passion for what she does. She is proactive, and blows me away with her quick responses and solutions for curve balls. When things come our way unexpectedly she is so quick with an answer and solution, it makes my head spin. One thing that I greatly value and respect about her is her honesty- she may not always tell you what you want to hear, but you can trust she will ALWAYS tell you what's best for you and your case, she will always steer you right. She's passionate, ethical, a true to her clients which to be honest, is very rare to find in her field. She also is very careful with where and how your money is spent, and she's not a nickel-and-dimer, which helps greatly, especially with how much money court cases demand and require. Another thing I'd like to note is that she's very easy to contact when you need her, and efficient with time. She keeps you up to date, and stays in frequent contact. She also strives to maintain a peaceful resolve if at all possible, and does her best to keep the parties amicable even when agreeing on ANYTHING seems grim, her goal is to bring people/parents together, and help you to see the true best interests of your children, which is a phenomenal quality. I just don't have enough words to express how wonderful this woman is. If you're dealing with a divorce, or family case- she's definitely a go-to attorney that you can TRUST. Our case isn't even near being concluded, but I trust in her to get us to our ideal end goal. Thank you so much, Nisa! For all you've done, and continue to do!

We sought out Ms. Herd's expertise in a child custody case that had gone all wrong. Within minutes of us explaining to her what had occurred she advised us flawlessly in every aspect of our legal ability. She was genuinely concerned for the situation and the children. If you hire Ms. Herd she will leave no stone unturned and will be honest all the way around which is best for the children. I highly recommend her to handle one of the most precious gifts in our lives, the well being of our children.

Nisa is very great at what she does. She defended me in a false restraining order against my ex-wife that was trying to keep my car from me. The judge was able see through the false accusations and the oop was dropped. Had it not been for Nisa 's brilliance I don't know what would have happened.

"Nisa" defended my wife and me in a neighborhood legal dispute. She won the case for us. We couldn't be happier with Nisa. In our opinions, she is: Knowledgeable, Smart, Accessible, and kept us informed. We will recommend Nisa to everyone......Plus....she is really, really pretty.... Sorry Nisa, this old fool has to tell the truth.

We were referred to Nisa by another attorney, but she turned out to be quite a find. At first we had a couple difficulties And didn't think we could go on with her as what we had in mind was conflicting with her thoughts. However, after deciding to stay she has come through for us as an extremely competent and trustworthy attorney. She returns our calls promptly and answers all our questions very well. Sometimes doesn't tell us what we want to hear, but then she tells us facts and sometimes the passion we have for our case clouds our minds. Overall, Nisa is a great young attorney with a very bright future and we will definitely employ her again if we need too.

Completely professional experience with Nisa. Worked with my financial issues and time schedule due to constant hour changes at work. Very knowledgable and answered all of my questions in a timely manner and got the job done. Would recommend 10 out of 10 times to anyone looking for a down to earth and hard working lawyer who is easy to talk to and can explain things.

Nisa has been extremely helpful. I am very happy with the legal assistance I have received. For several years in family court I have been represented by a couple of attorneys and I also represented myself. However, I continued to be frustrated with the outcomes of my case. And it always felt like I was going up against a brick wall as a single father. But Nisa has turned my experience completely around!!! I wish I had her as my attorney years ago! It has been such a relief to find someone who actually shows they care about the children involved.
