I never thought I would need an attorney!! So when my daughter needed a DUI attorney I had NO CLUE on who to hire. I did my all my research and was still confused. Thank goodness my best friend gave me Jerrys phone number to contact. From beginning to end I let Jerry proceed to handle all aspects of this case. I knew I was in the best hands I could hire. He explained everything so I knew what needed to be done. He knows the whole court system and got things done swiftly!! His service fee was very reasonable and I got every pennys worth in his outstanding service!! I got the best outcome for my daughter with Jerry's hard work. I couldnt have done this without him. Hopefully I wont need another attorney but if I do I have Jerry's phone number on speed dial!!

Mr. Nicholson did an incredible job of defending me. I had a complicated case across 2 counties consisting of multiple felony charges and he did not stop fighting for me until the prosecution was willing to let me stay out of jail. I truly believe that if I had chosen a different attorney I would be in jail right now for a long time. He was extremely straight forward and no bullshit about building my defense and his many years of practice as well as his connections made for a positive outcome that allowed me to remain a productive member of society. I am extremely grateful for everything he has done for me and highly recommend him for anyone looking to achieve the best possible outcome from their legal defense. I owe my freedom to him.

I called Jerry's office and left a message. To my surprise not even an hour later I was speaking to the man himself. He was kind and patient with me as I was borderline panic mode after hearing that I had an old outstanding warrant out of Long Beach. A few days later I sat scared in his lovely office listening to him explain the court process to me- the whole thing frightened me but Jerry put me at ease. His team was professional and thorough. Jerry fought for me and the outcome was amazing. Because of his 30 years experience and relationships within the Long Beach court system he was able to get my case in front of the right people and had a deal struck before we entered court to go before the judge. To say that I am happy with Jerry is an understatement. He was a true blessing for me while dealing with the wreckage of my past. I fully intend to used Jerry again to represent me to try to alter a past case out of Orange County. I trust him and you should too!

Jerry was referred to me from a friend when I went into my case with very little hope for a positive outcome. Regardless of my frustration throughout the duration of my experience, Jerry and his staff were always kind and courteous. They kept me informed of the process every step of the way. In the end, I couldn't have asked for a more positive outcome! Jerry over-exceeded my expectations and I would refer his services to anyone in a heartbeat!

I can't say enough great things about Jerry. He is professional, yet empathetic and the passion he has for his clients shines through. He thoroughly understands all the nuances of California criminal law, and walks you through what to expect every step of the way. Jerry was able to calm my nerves and left me feeling at peace and trusting him after every interaction. He is easy to get in touch with, and I never felt in the dark on where we were in the litigation process. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome, and while I hope to never need Jerry's services again... he will definitely be the first person I call if I do.

I was involved in a contenious divorce with a vindictive ex-husband. It was a confusing and emotional time for me. Gerry Nicholson negotiated an alternative sentencing for me for violating a restraining order, which was non-violent. I didnt even realize I was in violation and Gerry explained everything to me until I understood what was happening. If you are not familiar with the law and you live in Long Beach, Gerry is the one to get you out of hot water and set things straight so you can get back on track.

Wanted to hand my case off to a public defender after paying the balance due. I hired another attorney, and he had my case dismissed. Thanks for making me feel secure and legally stealing my money. Shows up late. Answering service is terrible. Good at initial visit. Great 30 year sales pitch. Explains what happens in 1 month 2 months and 3. Terrible at preparing you for court, especially for my first and last time ever being excused of a crime. Explained to me why my ex-wife tried to convict me of a DV charge, to get a green card after I asked for a divorce. I did not realize it. He pointed it out. It Should have been a easy case for him. Remember be calm, interview at least as many as you need to and then some. I got nervous and jumped on the first one I interviewed. My error. He's a Sharp Dresser!
