Thank you for all of your hard work, Nick! It has been a long 16 months. Certainly not where I thought things would be after a 20 year relationship, but this is where I am. It is sad that we had to end so bitter, especially with kids. Also, I was very impressed with how many lawyers approached you today at court to ask you for advice and seemed to hold you in high regards. It made me feel good that you were representing me.

Nick, I remember in our first meeting you laid out a comprehensive plan and I said you were the third lawyer I hired but the first to give me concrete advice and actual steps to take outside of court that we could use to win in court. Three years later, I went from unnecessary supervised visits to basically equal parenting time. You fought through every court appearance and wouldn't back down. Whether at a motion or the restraining order trial, you were clear, direct, prepared and powerful. The Judge never looked away from you! You turned this case and my life around, and I'm incredibly grateful!

Attorney Nick Plante was great in handling my divorce. He came recommended to me from a divorce mediator and I am so glad I asked her for her recommendation. Nick handled my case from start to finish and was a bulldog. He fought to protect my assets which were in jeopardy. I also dealt with Dianne in the front office a lot and she was always sweet and helpful. I was so nervous I was going to lose everything but Nick always reassured me we were on the winning end and he was right. I did not lose a dime to the ex."

I would like to tell you how grateful I am for your help, and the help of your entire team. Not only have you been excellent lawyers, but you also have been compassionate, patient and communicative. It is unfortunately rare in the legal profession and all the more appreciated. Last year has been horrendous and it is people like you that have kept me from going completely insane.

I wanted to take a moment to express my admiration and appreciation for Marisa Higgin's work as an attorney. Her exceptional skills and qualities have left a profound impact. Her dedication to achieving positive and results-driven settlements is truly remarkable. Clients can rely on her not only to provide answers but also to advocate for their best interests. Her ethical and honest approach, paired with her extensive knowledge, intelligence, and confidence, instills a sense of trust and reassurance. Her commitment to clients is evident in her ability to put an end to unnecessary conflict and navigate complex situations with ease. She is truly a lifesaver for those facing difficult legal challenges.
