hired nicole in early 2014 when she was at cantor. in hindsight, i can tell she just wanted to get through my probably routine case. i was looking for someone who would watch out for my best interest. the decree was poorly written, got no dog on my weekends, limited time with kids and no real guid ance from nicole. would recommend owens if you want lawyers who care about fathers right.

I have dealt with a very difficult custody case from day 1. Although Nicole did not handle my original divorce, I needed to retain an attorney again 6 months after my decree was issued. Nicole was very knowledgable, responsive, and caring through all of the frustrations I had in thinking that everyth ing I had just gone through the previous year was starting all over again. Fortunately Nicole was able to have the new filings by ex dismissed when my previous attorney had told me she felt it would go to a hearing. As a client who knows what I am facing with my ex, I educate myself as much as possible on the laws but I would never go it alone. I knew the motions should be dismissed and did not want to end up with a hearing and possibly another trial when my previous legal fees had already totaled over 80k. I am so thankful that Nicole listened to me and my goals and pursued my case in the manner that she did.

Her exact words when I paid my $5500 deposit, "Your husband wants to f--- you hard on the way out." She personally humiliated me and her staff discouraged me from moving on to healthy relationships with wealthy men. She forgot to put me on "hold" once and I heard her and her assistants complaining th at I was moving on with men who had high net-worth and referring to me, effectively (paraphrasing) as a "Barbie Girl." Stearns is evil.

Working with Nicole was a great experience. She is knowledgeable, no false promises and was amazing in court. If I ever need an attorney again, she is the one I'm going to.

I hired Nicole when she was at Cantor Law to complete the work on my divorce that I'd started with another law firm. She 'inherited' a difficult situation because of the ineptitude of the previous said law firm during a settlement conference. She handled all my affairs professionally, she was conc ise, timely and always kept me up to date with my situation. It's unfortunate that she did not handle my divorce from the beginning; had she done so I'm sure the outcome would have been much more satisfactory. I would highly recommend Nicole for any family law work.
