Your credit card will be charged. I was charged over $10,000 in one month for a contested divorce. I do not recommend this large firm, as they are looking for billable hours. Effie was distant from me and made no effort to get to know my story. I chose the Limited Representation and when you Google this, there should be a partnership. Instead, she did everything and didn't even know how to use Dropbox. I would not recommend this firm.

Attorney Halks was astonishingly competent at handling my high conflict custody case. He was always assertive, never aggressive, and has a lovely staff.

Attorney Cummings was wonderful. I went to her for a prenuptial agreement and this was my first experience with a lawyer. She was personable, responsive, and explained complex terminology in layman's terms. She helped us create a fair agreement within the necessary timeframe. My inability to give 5 stars (I would say 4.5) results from some lack of communication from the firm, and I will preface that I am an anxious person by nature. Attorney Cummings was out of the office for an unexpected amount of time due to a significant personal emergency. While I would not have expected communication from her or continued work on my case during that time, I do wish someone from the firm could have been more communicative about what to expect. With more communication, I would have spent less time worrying about finalizing before our deadline. It made the experience a bit more stressful than it should have been. I provided this feedback to Attorney Turco and do believe it was well received. Overall, I would fully recommend Attorney Cummings. She went above and beyond for my prenuptial agreement. Additionally, Attorney Cummings and the firm were communicative about the closing out process and when I would receive my retainer.

The Halks Firm is the absolute best team of attorneys you could hire! They are extremely driven and compassionate about helping you achieve the best results in court! I can’t thank them enough for all the hard work and dedication Nick and his team have shown throughout my cases in court, whether it was dealing with probate and family court or navigating DCF’s impossible system, I was extremely fortunate to have this team of smart and compassionate individuals on my side! Thank you!!

Nick and his team are always a pleasure to work with! They are professional, understanding, compassionate, and have always been able to accomplish a positive outcome in court! I have no fears when I have this team backing me up in court, no matter the stakes involved. Nick puts up one hell of a fight. They will navigate you through the entire court process and are always reliable. I recommend Nick and his team to anyone dealing with the family court system!

The Halks team helped me with a challenging modification request. The firm is clearly in demand but they did a great job of staying on top of the work and negotiations. Attorney Halks is a great negotiator- setting the proper conciliatory tone when needed and willing to get tough when appropriate. Overall he was able to get me much more than I had anticipated. Great results! Great team!

Nick did an amazing job handling my case . Nick is the kindest , coolest and most professional lawyer i’ve ever encountered. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of my case . To nick and his team - Thank You!!!

Rachel & Shannon were amazing on the sale of my home this past month. They both worked hard on the ever changing details and kept me up to date. Could not recommend them enough!

Michael was very professional, “to the point”, and assisted me throughout my process. Thank you!

This is a long overdue review of Attorney Halks. Nick has been my attorney for the past eight years. I came to Nick after my previous attorney quit my case. I had already been through a GAL investigation, a trial and an appeal and everything emotionally and cost-wise that goes along with those types of actions. To say my divorce was complicated and contentious would be putting it mildly. To complicate matters even worse my ex-wife was a divorce lawyer as well. I had to fight for years just to have basic access to my son and to be able to still afford to support myself with mounting attorney’s fees and debilitating child support payments. By the time I met Nick I was exhausted and out of options. For anyone considering Nick as your attorney…know this, if you are fortunate enough to have him take your case you will always get 100% from him. Nick is honest, he is a fighter and cares about his clients. I NEVER felt like I was another number to Nick or that he was ever looking to run up my bill with poor results. Nick cared for my son and me. It showed in his work and how he treated me. Today, because of Nick and his staff, I have a relationship with my son and a parenting plan that allows me to truly be apart of my son’s life. It was an absolute battle, and at times, still is. Nick is/ was a force equalizer in my family’s situation and truly always put my son’s needs first. If you work with Nick, you are lucky. Especially in a court system that can be beyond overwhelming and at times brutally unfair. I cannot recommend Nick enough. He is a friend, and I will be forever grateful for what he has done for my son’s future and my family’s well-being.

I like to sign says they're the best in the business and you want them on your side when you're going to the dance

Having to go through the process of a divorce recently has not been easy or stress free. But, with the help, support and guidance from Nicholas Halks and his firm, I was able to get through those difficult times and moments. Nicholas Halks is an excellent lawyer and is extremely knowledgeable and intelligent. He was patient, supportive, listened and gave detailed explanations so that I could understand what everything meant. Not only did I have the pleasure of working with Nicholas, but I had the joy and pleasure of working with his associates and staff. Overall, everyone was kind, helpful, organized and supported me throughout the process. I would highly recommend Nicholas Halks and The Halks Firm .
