I had gotten in a bit of trouble when I got pulled over for reckless, no liscense and also no seat belt. I looked around for a legal representation when I finally decided on Nicole Naum and her firm. Best decision I could have done. She managed to reduce my reckless to a normal speeding and got all other charges dropped even after I had failed to get a lot of the things done that she recommended would give me the best chance in court. She knew the risks and she knew what she was doing.

Severe case of eckless driving (95/70) charge reduced to normal speeding ticket (Prince William County). Nicole was able to negotiate an incredible deal with the prosecutor, a deal so good that the judge had to pause and ask in surprise if there was anything unusual about my case. Nicole is professional and friendly, genuinely cares about her clients and loves her job. I would hire her again in a heartbeat, but I hope I will never have to!

I was charged with reckless driving and after interviewing several attorneys it was clear that Nicole was the perfect choice. She is knowledgeable, professional and very thorough. She takes the time to answer any questions and provides sound advice. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone that needs an attorney.

We have called upon Nicole for her excellent services three time in the past couple of years. Although I hope this will be the last time we need her, we always know when we do, she's there to serve us. Having to call upon a criminal lawyer is always stressful. Over the years Nicole has gotten to know us so her service is a blend of professional and personal - something valued during these times of stress. I have recommended her to several friends without reservation.

Nicole is an outstanding attorney. I was facing two felonies (an intent to distribute marijuana and a felony eluding charge) along with a misdemeanor DUID. Both of the felonies were dropped down to misdemeanors and the DUID was nolle processed. I cant thank Nicole enough for all of the effort that she put into my case, especially coming into it after the court phases had began. After my trial, someone tapped me and told me I had the best attorney in the court room.

After I received a speeding ticket in Prince William County, a dozen lawyers sent me solicitation letters. I called a few, and Nicole was the most enthusiastic and specific about how to handle my case. I hired Nicole, and followed her instructions carefully. Nicole was thoroughly professional every step of the way, and negotiated a significantly reduced charge for me.
