"Nicole has an incredible capacity to understand the "human" aspects and nuances of divorce, especially when kids are involved."

Nicole is an excellent lawyer. Not only is she obviously extremely knowledgeable and talented, she also has an incredible capacity to understand the "human" aspects and nuances of divorce, especially when kids are involved. I am so thankful to have Nicole and her team (especially her legal assistant Heather who is AMAZING) over the past year for advice, consultation, decision-making and peace of mind that I could trust her to get me to where my baby and I needed to be. I would recommend Nicole to anyone, but especially families going through tough, complicated divorces.

"From the start, I could tell she was a very smart, competent, and caring attorney."

I faced a very challenging divorce and custody battle and I don't think I could have had a better lawyer. From the start, I could tell she was a very smart, competent, and caring attorney. She responded promptly to my many questions and kept me up to date throughout the entire lengthy process. Lawyers are expensive, but I feel Nicole charges a reasonable rate and I never felt I was being overbilled. I would recommend her to anyone.

"She did not stop once court was over, she continued to assist in the never ending loose ends."

I was pretty strained attempting to handle my divorce, by the time I decided to pick up the phone and look for an attorney. I had spoken to a few and researched online before calling Nicole’s office. Kathy was so kind from the start and scheduled me a meeting in good time. Upon meeting Nicole it was clear she had a genuine concern for my well-being and that genuine concern never wavered after I retained her. Nicole and her team left no stone unturned. They have been extremely detailed and thorough. I’ve never been left feeling like more could have been done for me in my case. If I ever needed something clarified it was done right away, Nicole made sure I fully understood details before I made any decisions. She gave guidance without pushing me and because of that I was able to make the right decisions for myself through it all. Court was an overwhelming thought as I’d never stepped in one before and surely not for something so personal, but as proceedings began it was clear to me again that I had chosen a brilliant woman. It was empowering just sitting next to her while she expertly handled it all. She did not stop once court was over, she continued to assist in the never ending loose ends. Nicole and her team have been everything I needed and more in one of the most difficult times of my life. I am eternally grateful to have found her.

"David Braswell helped me gain full custody of my children... he saved me a lot of stress!"

David Braswell helped me gain full custody of my children. He handled my case with both skill and integrity. David was understanding, fair, and gracious in all respects from handling difficult situations to working out the fees. He was well prepared for all hearings and made sure I was ready. His tone and presentation were superb. He also ensured all proper documents were well prepared and filed on time. In short, he saved me a lot of stress!

"Mr. Braswell is worth every penny! I can start my new life with my children thanks to him."

Mr. Braswell represented me in a very complicated divorce case involving five children. The case was complicated by a divorce decree obtained (without my knowledge) from another country. At the very beginning, Mr. Braswell clearly explained the law that was on my side, but also warned me about all possible outcomes. Fees were discussed up front and there were no surprises at the end. He always answered my emails and returned my calls. He always updated me on what was going on with my case. His confidence, advice and guidance relieved my stress during extremely difficult and painful times. It was easy for me to trust his ability to defend me. I was impressed with how well prepared he was for every hearing leading up to the trial. I was so intimidated by what my spouse’s expensive firm was throwing at us. But not Mr. Braswell. I was so amazed by his ability to maintain a calm, respectful and professional courtroom demeanor during trial. His questions for witnesses were organized and easy to follow. He was able to back my spouse into a corner with polite, but sharp and to-the-point questions! Mr. Braswell exposed all the lies and discrepancies. He won the case. He over-delivered. I have sole custody of my children. My ex-spouse was ordered to pay child support, alimony and my attorney fees. The property and business was also divided beyond my hopes. Looking at the outcome and at what I paid the firm – Mr. Braswell is worth every penny! I can start my new life with my children thanks to him. Mr. Braswell is an exceptionally sharp lawyer, but also a genuine human being. You just don’t find lawyers like him. He truly is a treasure in WA state and I highly recommend him without any reservations!

"I can't imagine what would have happened if I hadn't met David. He saved my life."

David is kind, professional, prompt and honest. I had been through very hard time but David was always there for me. English is my second language so I thought I was not able to do anything about my divorce at the time when I was served divorce paper. But I was so lucky I met David! He gave me many great advices and He always asked me what do I think, and want to do. I was nervous because everything was my first experience and all my family and friends were In my country. but I didn't feel so worried. Because David explained me well and cleared everything all the process. He finishes everything before the deadline and be ready for a court hearing. I can't imagine what would have happened if I hadn't met David. He saved my life. I highly recommend him!!!

"Nicole Bolan is a superb lawyer with a professional grasp of the client’s situation."

Nicole Bolan is a superb lawyer with a professional grasp of the client’s situation. Her communication skills enhance not only the client-lawyer relationship, but expedites the process of negotiation. Ms Bolan exhibits a willingness to expedite the process, without hampering the client’s interests. She not only communicated effectively with opposing personnel, she did so without delay. I would recommend her talents to anyone I know who wants to work with an efficient, intelligent and hard-working lawyer who also is an expert in her field.

"I found her to be very professional, attentive to detail, and thorough."

Nicole has been my lawyer on several different occasions. Each time I found her to be very professional, attentive to detail, thorough. She kept me posted as to what was happening and where we were in the procedure. I had complete confidence in her abilities and was completely satisfied with the results. She helped with my estate planning and probates on two occasions.

Former Client

"She is brutally honest about all directions my case could have gone."

Nicole has helped with custody issues twice now. Both times we have came to resolution before trial. One petition she got dismissed, and the second we were able to settle in mediation. Nicole never misled me with advice one single time. She is brutally honest about all directions my case could have gone. I never received any surprises. She responds quickly to emails and messages and does her research prior to responding. Her office staff is just as amazing. Kathy at the front desk will put a smile on your face the minute you walk in the door! I would use Nicole if your looking for someone to help resolve a complicated custody battle!!

"Nicole's performance was that she was efficient with her time and her work was impeccable."

Nicole was referred to me by a close, trusted friend when I needed counsel during my divorce. She was highly recommended, and I hired her to help me during this difficult time. Nicole was just incredible. She was a true counselor providing valuable advice in not only family law, but real estate, finance (investments, transaction tracking and forensic evaluation), judicial procedure and legal strategy. I am incredibly grateful for her support and guidance. I have working closely with legal professionals my entire career and the one strength that consistently stood out with Nicole's performance was that she was efficient with her time and her work was impeccable. She would complete tasks/briefs/filings/etc. in a half or a third of the time as other attorneys I have worked with previously and she nailed it every time. Hiring Nicole was the best choice I made to navigate this process. She is outstanding. Best of luck in finding a talented counselor. They make a difficult process much less stressful and will keep you safe.

My attorney is Chelsea Miller. She is awesome! She responds to me promptly, she is professional and realistic. I had a complicated custody case and she helped me through my ex parte and temporary order. I am still using her, and wouldn’t have it any other way. I would highly recommend her to represent any custody case.

"Nicole Bolan is the best!"

Nicole Bolan is the best! Had to fire my first Attorney who wasted $15,000 sending endless request for opposing counsel. Once I realized that she was just burning money, I hired Nicole. Nicole came in and eleventh hour to save me!! Not only did she get opposing counsel to come to the table and communicate and respond to discovery. She made mincemeat of my ex on the witness stand and showed his complete lack of integrity. The judge made a fair decision . I'm forever greatful to Nicole Bolan.

"Ms. Miller is an exceptional lawyer."

My review is for Chelsea Miller at BKB Law. Ms. Miller is an exceptional lawyer. She is personable, well spoken without being overly verbose or pedantic and attentive to her clients. I met with an initial consultation and she came to the meeting prepared. She'd already skimmed through recent documents so there was minimal "Tell me why you're here" when compared with other lawyers I've met with in the past. Despite having reservations due to past dealings with other lawyers, her presence set me at ease. She guided the meeting effortlessly (without checking the time every few minutes) and provided information I could use if I decided not to retain her services. Never once did she pressure me to retain her and never once did I feel like she was playing her cards close to her chest in order to force me to depend on her and retain her. Ms. Miller asked important questions, gave several options for a long term strategy and honestly answered every question I had with solid expertise. She is focused on cutting to the heart of the matter without allowing emotions or non-important information stymie the case. While I could continue to represent myself with the knowledge I've gained in dealing with the courts over the years and with what she presented during the meeting, I decided to retain her services. Her effortless confidence is exactly what I'm looking for in the upcoming difficulties I know I'll face. Based on how much care and attention she provided for our short consultation, I can rest easier knowing she will represent my interests in court.

"No one enjoys going to court, but David and his team made it as painless as possible."

No one enjoys going to court, but David and his team made it as painless as possible. David truly under promised and over delivered in my situation. He did exactly what he said he was going to do, exactly when he said he was going to do it; and then went a little further. Ethics were never a question, and I felt my case was important for him. Costs were discussed up front, and there were no surprises at the end. As I previously stated, no one wants to go to court - but David and his team are the ones you want on your side should it happen.
