In 2015 I was issued a restraining order that was based on no fact of law or evidence. subsequently I was falsely accused of of a violation from third party contact and arrested. This ordeal was a very traumatic and very costly ordeal. The battle to prove my innocence was a long process and took over 2 1/2 years and three lawyers of which I fired after they mishandled my case. Then I was referred to office of Nicole Longton very skeptical after consults with numerous attorneys and actually retaining three separate lawyers and then having to dismiss them . I was devastated thinking I could in fact be convicted and face 2 1/2 years in prison and possibly having to go to jury trial. I spoke to Nicole explained my situation that I was a decorated Veteran never been convicted of any crimes and this could end my career and many years of Charity work . Nicole not only took my case immediately but set my mind at ease and assured me that I now would have the best representation possibly in The Massachusetts family court. Her professionalism and court presence was outstanding. she was thorough and very knowledgeable on the inner workings of the Massachusetts system.. I could not be happier with her representation and skill as an attorney she in fact saved my reputation My career and my ability to continue in my charity work. I would never consider another attorney !!! . Attorney Longton is the best attorney I have ever hired she is compassionate, patient well versed in the law. I highly recommend her and will be sending her all of my referrals in the future. I hope she will soon see a appointment to the bench in a high court

Nicole came highly recommended from one of the business attorneys I deal with regularly and she exceeded my expectations in every way. I contacted Nicole to represent me in a traffic matter - she immediately returned my call and out first conversation took place within an hour of leaving a message at her office. At that point I knew I was dealing with someone who would deliver the highest level of customer service. During our initial conversation, Nicole listened to all the facts and then patiently explained the legalities and the ramifications. She walked me through the process step-by-step and then detailed the range of likely outcomes. She clearly identified the information she needed from me in advance of the hearing and we were 100% prepared when we walked into court. We were thrown a curveball as we were the last case of the session and the Judge was clearly ready to call it a day. However, Nicole was able to summarize all the key points on-the-fly, making sure our arguments for dismissal were accurately presented without unnecessarily delaying or aggravating the Judge. Our reward was a total dismissal of the charge. There are no surprises with Nicole. She stays on top of your case every step of the way and her fee structure was both straightforward and fair. If you are looking for someone to represent you in a legal matter, you can do no better than having Nicole as your advocate.

I was referred to Nicole Longton by a friend of mine who told me she was a good lawyer. I was charged with a felony that had the ability to ruin my life. I went to Nicole for help, and she came through for me beyond anything I could have hoped for. I was accused of leaving the scene of an injury accident, I wont get into the details of what occured, but a charge like that carries a possible jail sentence, as well as a felony record. Just being charged with a felony is enough to put a huge blemish on your record, and limit your possibilities. Thanks to Nicole and her detailed knowledge of the law, these charges were completely dismissed prior to arraignment, meaning no felony charges or convictions at all. I have a job right now that I have worked very hard for, and a fiance I look forward to marrying next fall. If not for Nicole I could have lost my job, my license, my clean record, and been sitting in jail instead of getting married. Not only was she effective at her job, but she was great to deal with. Nicole was always available and happy to answer questions, providing me with updates even over the weekends. My questions were always answered quickly and accurately. I would not say Nicole Lonton is a good lawyer, I would say she is a great lawyer. Me and my family will continue to use her if any other issues come up!

Our twenty year old daughter was recently involved in a shoplifting situation. Although encouraged by others to try it the acts (there were four events within a week’s span) were not her brightest moment. She was caught red-handed on video. We contacted Attorney Nicole Longton due to her excellent reputation and online reviews. She surpassed all of our expectations! During the initial meeting Nicole reviewed the charges, the court process and what results might be possible. Of primary concern was limiting any future damage from the events. During the next two weeks Attorney Longton kept us posted on all actions or potential decisions. She intuitively knew what to focus on for our family. All of her preparation bore fruit as the day at court resulted in the charges being reduced to civil penalties with no complications for the future. She is forthright, knowledgeable and absolutely committed to getting the best results for her clients. We would hire Nicole Longton again in a minute and recommend her to anyone needing a zealous and committed attorney.

I met Nicole the morning of my arraignment at the Worcester courthouse back in April of 2013. I was facing several felony criminal charges, including, ditribution of a Class A substance, possession with intent to distribute a Class B and Class C substance, among others. I was lucky enough to be introduced to her in passing that morning and I can honestly say she quite literally saved my life. She agreed to do my arraignment for free and if i wanted her services she would be glad to take on my case. I had heard about her firm, and based on that knowledge as well as her willingness to help me on the fly that morning I already knew I was going to hire her. Nicole got the most seriouos of the 2 felony charges completely dismissed as well as getting the other 2 dropped down to substantially lesser charges. She was amazing. I would recommend her services to anyone. In fact, I already have passed on her name to 2 friends that are currently facing charges themselves. HIRE HER!!!! I cant thank you enough Nicole.

An extremely adept and talented attorney. If you find yourself in need of hiring a criminal defense attorney, you would be remiss not to hire Nicole Longton to represent you. I recently found myself in need of an attorney. After doing some research, I decided to consult and retain, Attorney Nichole Longton. Immediately upon contacting the office, her proficient staff member, Eileen, was able to answer all of my questions and also provided some much-needed reassurance. Nicole is an extremely personable and trustworthy attorney who cares about her clients. She is well organized and approaches her cases with diligence, maturity, and intellect. She is an articulate and persuasive communicator. Nicole formulated an effective strategy for my case as well as strategies for any contingencies that may occur with her exceptional analytical skills. My case was dismissed. If you need a lawyer, you can stop searching and contact her office, she will get the best possible outcome for your case.

My situation was DIRE, I was horrified, that was when a friend recommended Nicole Colby Longton to me. I gave her a phone call one afternoon- she gave me a FREE consultation on the phone right then and there- I tell you that after that phone call there was not a doubt in my mind as to who I wanted representing me! I was unemployed at the time with no idea how I would afford something as expensive sounding as a lawyer- so i began working odd jobs and saving little by little- NICOLE WORKED WITH ME! Miss Longton was totally understanding of my situation and was willing to work around my lack of funding. Once I finally retained her as my official representation she went right to work, resolving the issue much faster than anticipated!! I write this review today as a free man with a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders- all thanks to the fantastic efforts of my favorite attorney at law: Nicole Colby Longton!!

If you’re like you me you probably call five or more lawyers to find the one that best fits you personally and financially. I wish I could save you the time and tell you to hire Nicole Longton, but read her reviews, give her a call, and then decide for yourself. Nicole helped me out with a small legal problem that could have had huge consequences for me professionally. Although my issue was minor, she treated me like I was her top priority, and more importantly she was upfront with me about costs, and likely outcomes. In person, Nicole is kind, professional, and easy to talk to; in the court room Nicole is a pit bull! From the moment she got there, lawyers, police, and prosecutors were all coming over to shake her hand. It felt good having a well-respected and very knowledgeable lawyer by my side. It felt even better watching her chew up the plaintiff, and his case against me. CASE DISMISSED!

After having my initial consultation with a few layers, I knew Nicole was the only one I wanted to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional yet explains complex legal matters in a way easy for an average person to follow. It was evident after our face-to-face meeting that Nicole loves what she does and is very good at it! Nicole made herself available when needed and answered my numerous questions thoroughly. She was able to put me at ease going into court, where everything went just as she explained and prepared me for. Nicole was successful negotiating the best outcome for my case, which included dismissal of two out of three charges I was faced with. I could not be more pleased with Nicole’s conduct before, during, and after my court date and the outcome of this case.

I contacted Nicole when I got myself in trouble. I had never had so much as a parking ticket and did not know what I was going to do. From the moment I contacted Nicole I knew I had made the right choice. She outlined how she was going to pursue my defense and she stuck to it. She acknowledged the stress I was feeling because of this issue and she worked to help me deal with it. Her goal was to minimize the impact on my life and she succeeded meeting that goal. The results she achieved for me were more than I could have hoped for. She knew the system and the people and had the contacts to get this accomplished.

I would recommend Nicole to anyone that is need of a lawyer for something small or anything big. She is dedicated to her work and gives it everything she has and so much more, she goes above and beyond what you ask of her and whatever you are expecting from her you will receive more. Hands down is a natural for what she does and will fight til the end for you. Never gives false hope, is straight forward with you. Completely did so much more than I could have asked for, and way more than she charged me for. Awesome dedication to her clients and the utmost respect for her and her services.

We were not sure what to do when we found ourselves in a major DUI case. I did a lot of research and found Nicole Longton’s reputation to be excellent. Once we hired her as our attorney we saw firsthand the reasons for her excellent reputation. She was exactly as her website states. Aggressive when it counts and responsive with personalized service. She was clear and concise in front of the judge. After her amazing court presence, we won with a “not guilty”. We couldn’t be happier and I highly recommend her legal services to anyone who requires legal services. She is second to none!

She is the best! If you are reading this, stop wasting your time and call Nicole. She is a true professional. She returns any call or email in a timely manner. She will work tirelessly for you to get you the best possible outcome. I had never been in trouble before in my life and she understood how important it was to me to keep my good name. Because of her experience and knowledge, she was able to get my case dropped and restored my good name. I thank God that I had enough sense to contact and hire her. Thank you Nicole from the bottom of my heart.

As a student in a professional degree program, my future career was in jeopardy after an incident left me facing some serious criminal charges. Searching for the best attorney I could find, I initially chose Nicole Longton because of her stellar qualifications. After our first meeting, I knew I had made the right choice. Within 30 days the entire matter was resolved with no charges and no blemish on my record. I would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a smart, savvy attorney who has track record of success.
