Frankly M.

If not for this attorney when my life was upside down, I don't think I'd be where I am today. I used both offices Wtby and Torrington. He made me feel right at home. He fought endless hours against a company known to have attorneys working for them and always winning. WELL NOT ANYMORE. I SEND EVERYONE TO HIM. He fights and fights AND WINS.

★★★★★

Tom B.

I had a complicated case involving multiple insurances, lawyers, and injuries. They handled everything, including Medicare issues, and even resolved a child support payment problem caused by the insurance, preventing legal trouble. They also resolved my Social Security issue without a hearing and assisted with a small family matter. Truly an outstanding law office.

★★★★★

Alex S.

I called Jeff, and the next day, and he followed up right away, helping me resolve the issue with no impact on my insurance. I’ve learned my lesson and won’t be speeding anymore, but if I ever need legal expertise again, I’ll call Jeff immediately. He is knowledgeable, caring, easy to work with, and truly the best.

First, I want to say that I am blessed to have Attorney Jeff Nicholas and his law firm representing me. They have been patient and reassuring during the tough times of surgery and the ongoing battle with workers’ compensation. They have represented me for over 14 years, and although the fight isn’t finished, I know I am in good hands and that they are working for what’s best for me and my family. Many thanks!
