The first time I contacted them I was able to talk to Andrew directly that same day and tell him about my situation and ask questions etc. It was a nice long convo and he said if I had any questions to reach out to him. I told him I’ll have a response as to if I’m going to hire them by the end of the weekend. I then had some questions I texted him and didn’t get a response on. Multiple texts. Then I tried to call the office and him many times. They said they left him a message. They transferred me to him directly and still nothing. I did this at like 5 times over the course of a week and never heard back from him again. I was disappointed as I’ve heard good things and thought he’d be a great fit for my case but when there’s little to no communication in the hiring phase, imagine after being hired? Questions, concerns..wouldn’t be answered. Very disappointed I bad to go with someone else simply because a communication issue. I know lawyers are busy and have many clients but seriously? At least 5 times over a week and multiple voicemails left and text messages and nothing???
I regret my experience with this law office, as I felt they did not have my best interests at heart. Initially, I believed they were advocating for me, but I now feel misled and deeply disappointed-particularly by attorney Hope Nickel.
During a critical point in my case, I was struggling with anxiety, a condition I made known to my attorney.
Rather than supporting me through it, I felt that my mental health was used against me. Ms. Nickel told me, "You probably don't want to go to trial because of your anxiety," which influenced my decision to take a plea deal. I trusted her guidance, believing she was on my side, but I now feel that trust was misplaced. I regret not going to trial, a decision I made under pressure and without fully understanding the long-term consequences.
What makes this even more disheartening is that l was led to believe the plea would not remain on my record. That turned out not to be the case, and by the time I found out, it was too late. I also experienced poor communication and scheduling issues—| was once given the wrong court date and made a long trip unnecessarily, which showed a lack of organization and consideration.
Overall, I did not feel seen or heard throughout this process. I felt like my mental health was treated as a liability rather than something that required compassion and
understanding. I would not recommend this office, especially to individuals dealing with mental health challenges. I strongly encourage others to seek representation that truly listens and advocates for their well-being.
I was first charged with driving without insurance. While I was insured, I couldn't find my proof of insurance at the time of being pulled over. I was assigned a court date that I missed by mistake - thus, an ex parte judgement was made for me finding me guilty of charges that would then lead to fines and revoking of my license. At this time, I sought a consultation from Mr. Nickel's office and was really appreciative of his transparency in sharing that I may be able to reschedule my court date and appear with my proof of insurance without his assistance while still providing me with his rates should I choose to hire him. I chose to appear in court following his guidance and without representation.
My charges were dropped but when the county failed to follow up with updating the ILSOS, I was unaware that I was driving with suspended plates and license until I was pulled over months later. This resulted in additional charges of driving without registration and driving with a suspended license (which are Class A misdemeanors). I sought Mr. Nickel's representation through this process and appreciate how responsive and prompt he was to resolve my situation and help for my case to be dismissed. I did not have to appear to my second court date because he was able to resolve my case ahead of time.
Mr. Nickels never returns any of my phone calls. I'm in a serious situation that needs to be/get taken care of. I've paid him in full and that was my biggest regret. He's very unprofessional. I'm in need of a call back and a refund!! Being patient is out of the question.
My Experience with Andrew Nickel was very well done, he sat down with me in person and help me well with my case and navigate though the system. Would highly recommend!
Mr. Nikel gave me very good advice on a ticket I had just gotten. I recommend him to anyone who needs a responsive, understanding, professional and knowledgeable attorney.
