    “It was the hardest experience in my life but Attorney Halks was my savior from day one.”
    I recently got divorced. I went through serious trauma in my married life and It was the hardest experience in my life but Attorney Halks was my savior from day one. From the initial consultation to post divorce he was there for me. He and his legal team were always there whenever I reached out, and had answers to my concerns within minutes. I genuinely appreciate his efforts to resolve the situation peacefully, though my ex-wife was literally abusive. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. Thanks a lot Attorney Halks !!!

    “He doesn’t back down or make promises he can’t make come true.”
    Attorney Nick Halks is an excellent attorney. He not only takes the time to work with you but he is very attentive to detail and unlike many attorneys he works for you and most importantly gets the results you want! Nick is an all around very knowledgeable family attorney and aggressive when it comes to getting results. He doesn’t back down or make promises he can’t make come true. From day one my case was difficult and he never promised me something that couldn’t happen but in the end he was able to get more then ever talked about. His ability to work well with clients and other attorneys makes him an exceptional attorney and very well respected. Look no further when in need of a family law attorney as I have had multiple and Nick by far is the only one to provide results in a case where most attorneys offered no hope!
