I have consulted Nicolas on a number of occasions and he was totally professional. He is a lawyer with good character and conscience who puts the client’s interest first and not how much he could make from the client. He would go to great lengths to explain why it was not feasible to spend money on a case which was not in the client’s favour.
Nicolas is very patient and very knowledgeable in his field. What impressed me most is, he is one lawyer who will go the extra mile for clients. Every lawyer can give advices on things related to law, but it’s the extra mile, integrity, kindness, compassion and a genuine desire to help people exhibited by Nicolas that touches me and makes me go back to him every time I need legal advice.
