The Halks firm handled my case flawlessly
I want to thank Attorney Nick Halks and his outstanding team for doing a fantastic job in representing my families’ best interests in the divorce! I retained Nick’s services because I’d read that he was an excellent advocate for father’s rights and knew how to handle the interests of the male primary wage earner.
I couldn't be happier with my experience and my results with The Halks Firm! The outcome of my divorce was very fair, and Nick made sure I wasn’t taken advantage of in the process. From the first consultation it was clear Mr. Halks

Nick and his team are A+++
If you are looking for top notch representation and a team that will listen, keep you informed, and cares about the work they are doing for their clients, then you must hire Attorney Nicholas Halks. I called Nick on a Friday with a scheduled pre-trial date on Wednesday. Nick and his team got to work right way, getting the date moved so they could have time to properly prepare. From the moment, I spoke with Lauren (his paralegal) and then Nick directly, I knew I was in good hands and for the first time in a year and 3 months I was able to breathe and feel at ease about

Nicholas and his team has done a wonderful job on my custody case. Going in with zero experience, i was very nervous. But they explained everything thoroughly and answered all of my questions. They are organized and on top of their game. I needed everything to be done as soon as possible and they got it done sooner than I had expected. Even after everything had settled Nicholas took the time to reach out to make sure everything is okay, which is really appreciated. Over all, I would recommend Nicholas to represent your case. Their firm truly cares for each one of their cases. They work night, day

If you are looking for a divorce lawyer, I highly recommend Nick. He is an excellent, hard-working, and highly intelligent lawyer, based on my own personal experience and outcome, he clearly knows what he is doing and was my greatest asset while going through a very painful divorce. He did his best with my case and was very proactive allowing me to focus on reshaping my life knowing he had my best interests in mind. Here are three things I liked most about Nick and his firm.
Nick and his team quickly understood my case, answered all my questions, took proactive actions, and provided the right

I hired Nicholas Halks while I was in the midst of a contested custody battle involving my young daughter. When you are looking for a family law attorney, you want to find someone who can relate to you on a personal level. Upon first meeting Nick, I knew I had made the right decision. Nick and the Halks Firm are incredibly knowledgeable, trustworthy, and passionate. My daughter may not realize it now, but one day she will learn of the essential steps Nick took to preserve our relationship. I am extremely thankful, and highly recommend Nick and his team for any and all family law matters!

Nick is "Gem of person", and an excellent lawyer. He listens to his clients and gives helpful advice towards specific situations. He handled my divorce case and trial for 2 years, and I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer than him. He was very well-spoken at the trial. I'm also from a different country, so he did a great job understanding and overcoming the culture gap. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family in the future.

I hired Nick last February when an urgent family matter occurred. Throughout the year, Nick and his team has helped me at each step of the process regarding to my child custody case. Nick is a professional, knowledgeable, detail-oriented attorney who takes his clients’ cases seriously. Whether it was drafting legal documents or representing me in the court, I felt confident with Nick and his team behind my back. Being a parent himself, Nick was able to understand my situation and to put my child’s best interests as the top priority. The rest of his team is very professional as well and easy

I'd like to thank Nick and his entire team for all of your strong, thorough efforts with my case. Nick was outstanding in court -point on! Could not have done a better job. Class act!
Some of us clients as you can imagine, lay in bed awake at night with Probate Heartache. We envision what it would be like to "have our day in court" especially when its not so much about revenge, but an honest, truthful matter, especially pertaining to our children.
As far as I'm concerned I can say I actually had my day in court, thanks to Attorney Nick Halks . I know that does not happen for everyone. I am truly

Look no further!!!
May 3, 2018 Nicholas Halks is AMAZING! Nick accepted my case after I had another attorney bleed me dry of almost every penny I had left. Nick took my case on even after knowing he was going up against my ex-husband who happens to be in law enforcement. He was in no way shape or form intimated knowing that my Ex had testified in over 100 trials himself.
Nick and Kailynn Palaima his paralegal treated me with the utmost respect and compassion. Nick went through boxes and boxes of information that was passed to him literally at the 11th hour and prevailed! Nick took the time to meet
