I absolutely recommend Nick to anyone searching for a highly experienced and skilled family lawyer with an impressive success record who cares about his clients. Read More “For Father's Custody Rights, Hire Nick! If you’re a father in search of a lawyer to go into legal battle with to fight for legal and/or physical custody of your child, look no further – you MUST hire Nick to lead your battle! Nick is an experienced lawyer and highly skilled litigator who is compassionate and respectful of father’s rights. Upon returning home after a day of work, I was shocked to find out my live-in girlfriend of many years decided to separate and leave with our 2 year old daughter unannounced. I came home to an empty home and all I could think about was where my daughter was and if I will ever see her again, especially since there was a great risk that the mother was going to take our daughter out of the country. Still in shock, I went to the local police station to make a report to stop the possibility of the mother leaving the country with our daughter. The officer took my report but told me that there was not much they can do to stop the mother, and advised me to find a good lawyer. I didn't know who to call, and worse, it was Labor Day weekend - how am I going to get in touch with any lawyer on a holiday? After spending a day searching online for a good lawyer, I really lucked out and found Nick! I gave Nick a call, and as expected, I got Nick's voicemail and so I left a message explaining my situation and asked him to call me back. To my surprise, Nick actually returned my call a couple of hours later on a holiday since he felt my legal needs required urgent attention. I was really impressed and knew I found the right lawyer. My immediate concern was to stop the possibility that the mother may take our daughter out of the country, in which case I may never be able to see my daughter again. Nick was caring and a great listener on the phone, and knew exactly what steps we needed to take to prevent my daughter from leaving the country. Nick said we needed to appear before a family court judge in an emergency session right away to get a court order to stop the mother. Nick asked me to meet him at his office right away so we could put together my Affidavit and other legal papers to file with the court in the morning so we can appear before the judge. Once again, I was really impressed that Nick cared enough about my dire situation that he was willing to take time out of his holiday to meet me at his office to work on my case. In the morning when we appeared before the judge in an emergency session, Nick was very smart and skillful in presenting and arguing our case in court. As a result, we were granted an Order barring the mother and our daughter from leaving MA, and demanding the mother to surrender our daughter’s passport to the court. Over the next few months, we were in and out of court to work towards reaching a Final Court Order regarding the custody our daughter. The mother wanted full legal and physical custody of our daughter. As an unmarried father, the courts usually grant full legal custody to the biological mother with some visitation allowed for the father. However, I wanted shared legal and physical custody. Nick always puts his client’s first and takes a vested interest in what they want. He fights hard for his clients. Nick can be aggressive and/or diplomatic, depending on what is called for during negotiations and court appearances. Through smart and skillful lawyering, Nick successfully achieved getting me shared legal and physical custody of our daughter, which is not so easy to achieve for an unmarried father. I absolutely recommend Nick to anyone searching for a highly experienced and skilled family lawyer with an impressive success record who cares about his clients and won’t rob you blind at your most vulnerable moments in life.” Mark Oct 16, 2018

I am very thankful and cannot thank Nick enough for going to bat for me. Read More “I called Attorney Nick Halk’s on the drop of a dime on a snowy late afternoon, with nowhere else to turn and very little time to prep for the court date I just received, Nick asked me if I could come meet him in an hour. I was blown away but still on edge seeing this was the first time I had ever had to reach out to any legal services. Long story short the case was for a divorce but my only concern was my children because it was me (a male) against a female. The stigma in MA is that Dads never get the upper hand when it comes to children, I was very worried and upset that I might not be able to be there for my children. I stressed that to Nick and Jamie who both assured me instantly that I will not need to worry about my children and that they will make sure I get what I deserve. Just months later the final court date was here and I can honestly say I do not fall in the norm of fathers who get nothing and have to pay all kinds of money after a divorce. I proved to Nick that I am A great father and that I deserve to be there just as much as their mother and Nick proved that to the necessary parties. I walked out of court that day with a smile on my face believe it or not because I thought I was going to be eaten alive and have to pay all kinds of money each month and never get to see my children. Again thanks to Nick and his knowledge in many areas, his expertise in these types of cases and his over all professionalism and putting his client (me) and his wants / needs as a priority. I am very thankful and cannot thank Nick enough for going to bat for me, taking my case without hesitation and getting me a very positive outcome.” Cliff Oct 26, 2017
“I called Attorney Nick Halk’s on the drop of a dime on a snowy late afternoon, with nowhere else to turn and very little time to prep for the court date I just received, Nick asked me if I could come meet him in an hour. I was blown away but still on edge seeing this was the first time I had ever had to reach out to any legal services. Long story short the case was for a divorce but my only concern was my children because it was me (a male) against a female. The stigma in MA is that Dads never get the upper hand when it comes to children, I was very worried and upset that I might not be able to be there for my children. I stressed that to Nick and Jamie who both assured me instantly that I will not need to worry about my children and that they will make sure I get what I deserve. Just months later the final court date was here and I can honestly say I do not fall in the norm of fathers who get nothing and have to pay all kinds of money after a divorce. I proved to Nick that I am A great father and that I deserve to be there just as much as their mother and Nick proved that to the necessary parties. I walked out of court that day with a smile on my face believe it or not because I thought I was going to be eaten alive and have to pay all kinds of money each month and never get to see my children. Again thanks to Nick and his knowledge in many areas, his expertise in these types of cases and his over all professionalism and putting his client (me) and his wants / needs as a priority. I am very thankful and cannot thank Nick enough for going to bat for me, taking my case without hesitation and getting me a very positive outcome.”

Nick was very concise, decisive, strategic and professional in all aspects of his work. Read More “Attorney Halks took on my contested custody case after another lawyer failed to complete her obligations. Nick was very concise, decisive, strategic and professional in all aspects of his work on my case and in dealing with the judge and other attorney involved. I was fortunate enough to have Nick work on my case because not only was he a strong advocate for me, as a loving father wanting deserved time with my daughter, but he worked diligently and fairly in resolving my case without having to take it to trial, which saved me thousands of dollars in unnecessary court time and fees. Nick is extremely knowledgeable of the ever-changing MA divorce and child custody laws, respectful of his clients and their wishes, shows utmost professionalism, and genuinely cares about his clients receiving a fair outcome in the courtroom. I will recommend Attorney Halks to anyone who needs a strong lawyer who will fight for the best interest of his clients (and children) involved in a divorce/custody dispute. Thank you again Nick.” Jeffery S. Oct 26, 2017

Nicholas exceeded all my expectation, Including the settlement. Read More “Nicholas exceeded all my expectation, Including the settlement (Three times what I expected!) and I never had to see my boss again. The pros about Nick are that he really cares about me and my family. I could tell. He was always calm and kind. Like he understood what I was going through. The cons about him are that he was busy. There were days I called and he didn’t call me back until two days later. However I don’t mind considering the result and would recommend him to any woman who is being sexually harassed.” Pamela Oct 26, 2017

I am extremely happy with my decision to stick with him! Read More “I just recently won a sexual harassment case thanks to Nick. At first I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to go through with the case but after my first phone call with him he made it very clear and reminded me the position I was put into was extremely unfair and that I had every right to file a sexual harassment complaint against my employer. Nick was very confident through the entire process, he listened and made sure he had every detail of everything I had gone through during my time of employment. He took his time to explain to me every step of what was to come and what to expect and he couldn’t have made things any clearer or easier. Case was settled in about 6 months and I could not be happier with the out come. I honestly did not expect it to go so smoothly and get granted what I did. I would absolutely recommend Nick to anyone going through anything close to what I experienced. Thanks to Google for helping me find him, he was the first and last lawyer I called and I am extremely happy with my decision to stick with him!” Rachel Oct 26, 2017

He was effective, honest, direct, extremely knowledgeable of the law and most of all confident. Read More “It took me 3 Attorneys to finally feel satisfied with the service and results like I received from Nick. After reading all his reviews here, I would honestly say that each and every one have been my experience as well. Not only did he come in on the tail end of my case, but he got more accomplished in the short time he had to prepare for a trial than my former attorney did in 1 1/2 Years. These were post divorce matters involving both custody issues as well as financial. He was effective, honest,direct,extremely knowledgeable of the law and most of all confident when working with the opposing attorney. He really cares!” Ronna Oct 26, 2017
