Attorney Jeffrey Nicholas is a fantastic attorney. He handled a case for my parents and I and he was extremely professional, detail oriented and made sure we were up to date and understood everything that was happening throughout the process. I highly recommend him to my friends and family, as well as any one else in need of an attorney.

I came to this office and I met cindy she looked at my child disability case and she said its easy to take care of that case she said I will have the attorney look at it tomorrow, now it's been 2 weeks and I called them 4 times left a message many times and never call back I think it's not nice to treat customers like that and I know she will never call back I guess she doesn't deserve more than one star for customer service
