When seeking an attorney to represent me in my divorce, I was strongly encouraged to contact Mr. Paul Nichols. Upon meeting him for the initial consultation, I understood why he, and his firm, were so highly recommended. Upon hearing and discussing my situation with me, Paul immediately laid out a “roadmap” for how to achieve our goals. And, I don’t use the term “our” lightly. From the start, I felt that Paul was not just my attorney, but a vested teammate, which was very comforting and reassuring. Paul’s legal knowledge and expertise, guidance and unwavering support through the divorce proceeding made an often tense, trying and volatile case much easier to comprehend and allowed me to see the bigger picture and focus on the ultimate goal. Additionally, Paul and his excellent Paralegal, Dana Lynn, constantly kept me informed at each stage of the proceedings and, if I had questions, readily provided answers. I could not be happier with the representation and legal services provided by Paul and his firm, and I highly recommend them. Very satisfied - DTM

Paul Nichols representation in my divorce was nothing less than outstanding. After a difficult break up and separation, Paul was able to get the best settlement terms I could possibly have hoped for. Now I am able to move on with my life without the worry and stress of an elongated court battle or excessive financial burden. If you want the best, hire the best...Nichols, Zauzig and Sandler P.C.

This law firm was recommended by a friend. I was really impressed. We were called back very fast with helpful information. Sometimes you really need to have good help like this to get answers you need. We really enjoyed everyone we met here and they made us all feel so comfortable. They solved every problem and I can’t say enough about how timely they were. I would highly recommend.

Tracy Lenox was excellent! She treated us as if our case was HER case. Not only does she demonstrate a positive and professional attitude, but so do the rest of the staff. Her legal assistant, Ms. Smith is always extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. Thank you all!

Rebecca Zimmerman really came through when I found myself in need of an excellent family law attorney. I was very pleased with the professionalism and the quality of care. She was very knowledgeable and guided me through the whole court process, which was completely new to me. I definitely recommend Nichols Zauzig Sandler P.C. to anyone in need of an attorney.

I've had a great experience with NZS. Rebecca has always been very responsive and helpful in helping me navigate the system.

Mrs. Simmons helped me with a custody case for my son. I am extremely pleased on how she handled everything, she greatly advised and defended the best interest of my son. I would like to thank Mrs. Simmons for our recent case and also thank Mr. Hollingsworth, Mrs. Zimmerman and Mr. Nichols for all their help and advise during all this rough time for me. Great firm of professionals, highly ethical thank you all for your work again!

Ms. Cassandra Chin was my attorney for my divorce. I feel very lucky to have Ms. Chin guided me through this very difficult period. Early on, she laid out the best path forward and strategy for upcoming legal process since my divorce involves two different state jurisdictions. She kept close contact with my other attorney in different state to make the process smooth and minimize the negative effects on me. She was thorough, timely and always was available to answer questions. Due to her diligent effort, the legal process in another state was shortened by several months - her accuracy and timing has saved me time and money. Ms. Chin is among the best family attorneys in Northern Virginia. I would recommend Cassandra to anyone.

I was seeking a new lawyer since the previous one I had been working with had retired. I decided to work with Cassandra Chin at Nichols Zauzig Sandler because she was direct and straightforward. I believed she would do her best to support me legally after my initial consultation with her. Cassandra was informative, concise and effective in guiding me to what available options were on my case. She advised me when options were not going to have a high chance of success as well as took the time to support my schedule and to be flexible in meetings that were important to my case. I highly Recommend her as both an ethical lawyer and highly professional for anyone in need of a good lawyer. Having worked with 4 different lawyers prior to being referred to Nichols Zauzig Sandler I can say that there are definitely some BAD lawyers out there. You will not find a bad one at NZS. I only wish I had found them earlier as I'm confident that my case would have resolved itself sooner and more efficiently.

Why were you looking for a lawyer and why did you choose Nichols Zauzig Sandler over other attorneys? - Divorce and custody. I went through a long drawn out divorce from someone who was using the court system as a weapon to bully me. He made it clear early on he did not want to settle, he wanted to fight. My first lawyer was dogmatic however very expensive and we didn't communicate well. We decided to part ways and both she and an attorney who I consulted with directed me to Cassandra Chin at NZS. They were well-regarded in Prince William County and considered strategic and "tenacious" in their approach. Cassandra specifically was consider to leave "no stone upturned" by her peers. I have a knack for details as well and believed me and my children would be in good hands which we were. What were some specific actions or ways we/I helped you? Cassandra and her assistant Renee greatly reduced my anxiety around the entire divorce process. I was in a David and Goliath fight with a rich ex and I had limited funds via maxing out credit cards. Every penny spent was spent on wise logical strategy. I always felt heard and working with them was like a partnership. They were also very candid and straight up with me even when I didn't want to hear some of the sobering realities of divorce and custody. Even the receptionist Darby was a shoulder to literally cry on at times and the other associates in the practice were devoted to what was best for me and my children. What else would you say to someone who was looking to hire Nichols Zauzig Sandler? I have already referred people to Cassandra and NZS. I know me and my children are in good hands until they become adults because of the handling of my case and the attention to detail in developing all of the custody and divorce agreements. I now have a fresh start at the second chapter of life with 90% of what I wanted based on my goals for divorce. I will tell anyone looking for high quality legal representation in Northern VA to stop looking and retain Cassandra Chin. I'm almost missing her and the team. They actually cared about me and my kids and were not focused on padding their own pocketbooks at our expense. A rarity in this field.
