    “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!

    “I will always recommend him to family and friends. Nicholas Halks is a winner!”
    If you want great representation, look no further than Nicholas Halks. He is professional, committed to his clients, hard-working, and assertive in his efforts. Many lawyers make deals with other lawyers for their own benefit or prolong a case to make more money. Nicholas Halks is a truly honest attorney. He listens well, responds promptly and is incredibly pro-active. He helped me to win my case and i knew he would the whole time because he believed in me as a client. I am going to use him again should I need to in the future and I will always recommend him to family and friends. Nicholas Halks is a winner!
