Everything you want in a lawyer

Nick is very professional, courteous and responsive. Nick had to deal a very difficult person on the other end, and he managed to help me through every curve ball my ex husband threw at us. Not only did he work tirelessly to get me the resolution I was looking for, he was always honest, never steered me wrong and fought as hard as any lawyer could. Having had a previous lawyer, I can tell you that I wish I had started with Nick right off the bat. I have recommended him to every one I can, because I am 100% confident he will do right by them. While I hope to never have to go back to court, in the event that I do, I know who I will call immediately. If you want someone you can be comfortable with on a personal level, and confident in front of a judge...Nick is your guy.

Great Job and Thank You

Nicholas Richardson is an excellent attorney, I have used him a couple of times over the past few years. He has always been very professional and prompt to take care of my issues. I never had any issues with his quality of work. Nick would always follow up with his progress of my cases which was appreciative. Thanks for all the help

Pre-nup discussions

Nick and I met in the summer to discuss the terms of a pre-nup. Nick took his time to explain everything to me, answer multiple questions over many months and make sure that I was understanding the document I was signing. We discussed payment and billing upfront and both were easy to handle. Nick and his team answered emails and phone calls within a reasonable time period as well. Please consider using Nick and his team for your legal needs, as it is difficult to find someone who is patient and willing to explain things to you in regular terms.

Divorce

Great lawyer and explained everything in detail so I could understand the process. Answered all questions I had and git it done in a timely fasion. Thanks Nick!

Responded quickly via email or phone during my entire case and moved to resolution quickly.

You were able to get to resolution quickly; when my ex-husband brought up many issues, you were able to go straight to negotiation. You responded to me quickly via email or phone, a negative with my past lawyer. Excellent experience. I'm sure to recommend to your office to my family and friends.

Wonderful fathers rights attorney

I couldn't ask for a better attorney to represent me in divorce court. He immediately instilled confidence in me from the first meeting we had. Everything from his style, his knowledge, his experience and his understanding and compassion for my case gave me hope. As a father fighting for the right to be with my kids more than 4 days a month, I told Nick from the start, I only want whats fair... 50/50 time with my kids. In the end, through skillful negotiations and court room experience, the outcome is exactly what I hoped for when I walked into his office the first time. I'll get to be a dad, not a visitor.

Outstanding

Nick was our lawyer for our divorce case. He took the time upfront to explain the divorce process, and was careful to point out the possible bumps in the road along the way. Our case was finalized efficiently and exceeded our expectations. Nick is professional, experienced, and caring.

BEST ATTORNEY EVER!

Everyone, I live in Houston, i retained Mr. Richardson to help with my pension in regards to my divorce when i lived in Illinois. Living out of state i was nervous about paying an attorney and wondering if he would follow through. I asked my brother to assist in the search, he provided me with Mr. Richardson's number. Mr Richardson quoted me a price that was far below the average. He stuck to that price, he provided me with updates and he even went steps further to ensure that my rights were protected and that he did his job and then some. Since then i have read and heard so many great things he is doing for the community and state. I dont know if he realizes that his information , emails, travel so far and still impact my life. If you are looking for someone who is fair, honest, follows through, and gets the job done , look no further. I wish he was in Houston...

High integrity

Nick is outstanding. He has a high degree of integrity. He is very responsive. Nick is always calm and has done a great job of managing my emotions. What I like the most is that he always gives me options. With each option he provides the anticipated cost and the likelihood of success. This is valuable in helping me choose the path forward.

Personal, Professional Service

Carefully listened to my needs and concerns and executed a plan that worked best for me.

Nobody Better

Nick is fast and efficient. He keeps his clients up to speed during the whole process. He is the only person I refer business to.

I will continue having Nick represent me in all legal matters.

I was never in doubt that Nick was there for me and only me. Nick made sure that all went smoothly and efficiently as possible. If I had to leave a message, my calls were returned promptly. I will continue having Nick represent me in all legal matters.
