"Nicole Moss is a top notch attorney. I found myself in an unfair and unexpected legal situation, and from my initial consultation phone call with Nicole, I knew that I was in great hands and would be working with someone who was caring, compassionate, and hardworking. Nicole is a fantastic communicator who was happy and quick to respond to any questions I had. Throughout the entire process, she was transparent and honest about potential outcomes and the different options I had. At the end of it all, I am incredibly thankful for Nicole's help and believe she did an amazing job representing me. I would recommend Nicole to anyone who is seeking legal representation in the areas that she practices."

"I honestly wish I could switch to Ms. Moss as my lawyer or whatever. The courts assigned me someone whom isn't top rated/skilled. No offense. Just mine is too busy but they r doing better n will rate my s good one. Just rated Ms. Moss since I honestly don't have a say. What r Ms. Mosses current or past clients think? Sorry if I am over stepping the line 2025 update My court assigned attorney is great. No complaints at all!"
