“An incredible team work from all of them. Lucille returned every email, txt message and phone calls. Very professional and Mr. Nilan actually showed up to every appointment with us. My case wasn't easy and my previous lawyer did nothing for me. Mr. Nilan was there on top of everything since the consultation phone call. Thank You to the Nilan Law Team for taking my case. I recommend him 100%”
