Fred is a dedicated attorney who works so hard for his clients! He is a man of integrity and a true professional with a stellar record before the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. I would highly recommend him!

I would recommend this law firm without reservation. Fred Nickl, whom I have known for almost 30 years, is a hard working and respected person in his field. He and his firm will go the "extra mile" for you!

These attorneys are wonderful. They will not back down or give you false hope. They have sincere care for the clients and will fight for you. I regret not going with them in the first place. There are lots of attorneys out there that will charge more and literally not care what you have worked for all your life. Willimas & Nickl are the attorneys that I am forever grateful for.

Outstanding law firm.....they care about their client..... They are prompt in returning your calls and always give the best expert advice....I would highly recommend to anyone

I am an attorney who practices criminal/traffic law in McLeansboro, Illinois. Not long ago, I had a client who had a serious professional license issue. I reached out to a fellow attorney for a recommendation. He said call Fred Nickl. I did and was not disappointed, as he saved my client's license and her livelihood. If I ever have another client who has a professional license issue, he will be the attorney I call. In addition, Fred is very active on several of the Illinois State Bar Association email lists (that afford advice to fellow attorneys throughout the State of Illinois on issues in their field of practice). His answers are always well thought out and helpful. In short, he knows his field of expertise well. Alan Downen

Fred got us through a sticky situation, unfounded of course, with IDFPR. It took over a year to resolve completely. Fred was on top of everything from start to finish. If you have a problem with IDFPR Williams and Nickl are the ones to go to.

CCL assistance. My original CCL was going to be denied based on old fictitious information the ISP had. After some research, I contacted Williams and Nickl. I was able to immediately able to speak with Fred Nickl about my issue. He was very up-front and informative about what would be needed, potential problems, and cost. After thinking it over for a couple days, I hired them. Very glad that I did. Fred had me gather information for him and got it submitted to the ISP. He was able to get them to review my items very quickly. Result- I got my CCL. I would highly recommend them for any CCL issues. Fred was very accessible for the duration of the case. He always answered the phone, text, or emails very promptly and it was obvious that he knew what to do. When the State of Illinois wants to mess with a required license, hire them. THANKS FRED !

Service was excellent, staff was very supportive, Mr Nickl handle my case and had a resolution in a matter days. I was looking at a possible fine of $10,000. I was terrified. Mr. Nickl helped em keep my real estate license and avoid a heavy fine.

Fred is a master of his craft. He's been an invaluable resource for my clients going through licensing issues related to criminal issues... particularly concealed carry permit holders.

I own and operate a Private Alarm Contractor Agency in the Chicago Area and have been dealing with Ed and Fred for nearly a decade. If you own a security company in Illinois they are a MUST KNOW law firm that is truly second to nobody when dealing with the IDFPR.

Fred Nickl and Ed Williams know professional licensure law inside and out. They are responsive and caring when dealing with clients. I would recommend them to anyone dealing with professional licensing issues.

I highly recommend Williams & Nickl law firm to any professional experiencing licensure issues. Prior to my encounter with Ed and Fred, I was certain my pharmacist license was going to be suspended/revoked, and I was completely hopeless until I hired this law firm. Fred Nickl primarily managed my case, and he was able to save my license. I am so thankful for this law firm, and I am still able to practice as a pharmacist today because of their guidance. I could not have asked for better representation, and my experience with this firm was simply outstanding from start to finish.
