When it comes to high standards, The Nicholas Law Firm has set the bar extremely high. They took on my injury case and helped me get my life back on track, something I am truly grateful for and find humbling. I highly recommend Jeff and the entire Nicholas Law Firm team to anyone needing help to overcome life’s toughest obstacles. Greatest thanks to everyone at The Nicholas Law Firm!
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.
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.
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.
Thank you to Cindy at the law office for being so informative about our situation and guiding us in the right direction. Your support made a stressful time much easier to navigate.

Attorney Nicholas and his team have provided me with legal advice and assistance on several occasions. The firm is knowledgeable, efficient, and completed all services I requested in a timely manner. I highly recommend Attorney Nicholas to anyone seeking a competent attorney who truly goes the extra mile for his clients.
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!
After feeling like the insurance company was taking advantage of me, I contacted The Nicholas Law Firm. Not only were they kind and professional, but they also explained everything fully and simply to me, and more than doubled my original expectations for the settlement.
I can't say enough about attorney Nicholas. Ever since Jeff took on my Workers Comp case I couldn't be happier. His knowledge, experience, and staff are awesome. I would highly recommend attorney Nicholas to anyone. As it say on his billboard, "we got your back",and he absolutely does.
