He represents people in all walks of life throughout Arizona and Nationwide.

Nicholas is involved in the Arizona legal community, conducting Continuing Legal Education Events for other Arizona family law attorneys, through the State Bar of Arizona and Maricopa County Bar Association.

For years I tried changing my venue from Tucson to Phoenix to adjust my child support and custody and for years I failed.. I worked with the court system and believe me when I say that it was a nightmare. I found Cantor Law Group and had the pleasure of working with Nik Boca and Gloria Rodriguez. Not only were they responsive, fast paced and focused, they were honest. Nik worked with me on ways to help make this process as painless as possible and also helped me find ways to save money and keep my composure through everything. There was a level of compassion and empathy that Ive never experienced with any family law professionals before. If you're ever in this unfortunate position that you have to set a parenting plan, adjust custody, child support or anything that falls under family law needs, do yourself a favor and have Nik handle this for you. The money is fair and WORTH it and will save you months and maybe years of frustration and helplessness. Nik and his team will fight for you

I have had the pleasure of working with Nik Boca as my lawyer during a very challenging divorce case. I would very highly recommend Mr. Boca for parents facing difficult custody situations. There are two key things that initially stood out to me in working with Mr. Boca that makes him an outstanding lawyer, and one that I would highly recommend. First, Mr. Boca has the ability to be both empathetic and highly rational- this has allowed me to make the best decisions possible thus far in my case. It is evident in Mr. Boca’s approach that he cares deeply about the outcome of the case and understands that my priority is my child and his safety. Mr. Boca was one of the only lawyers I spoke to who used my child’s name, and remembered facts about him, while many lawyers I interviewed at the onset could barely remember his gender. However, Mr. Boca does not let the emotional impact of my case drive our decision making. He is extremely well-versed on precedents and rulings in Arizona!

Nik Boca was amazing throughout my divorce process. My case was difficult to go through with my children and he was able to talk me through it the entire way. He advocated for what was right in the best interest for my children in regards to child custody, legal decision making and parenting time. I can't express enough how grateful I am to Nik Boca.

This law firm, and particularly Nik Boca, are as rock solid as they come. We spent the better part of three years with a different reputable lawyer who not only mishandled our case during a trial that resulted in the absurd relocation of my son, along with multiple failed attempts at addressing issues in my sons new location. Nik and his team stepped in to the middle of this mess and have been nothing but efficient and transparent. We were able to settle everything within a matter of a couple of

Words can not express how thankful I am to Nik Bocca and the Cantor Law Group. I had a very difficult custody case and Nik did not only get the ruling in my favor but he was able to get everything I asked for. My family is so grateful for hiring Nik. I would recommend the Cantor Law Group and Nik to anyone who needs a family law attorney. He was great and made this horrible experience not so stressful. Thank you!

Nik Bocca literally changed our families life. We have been struggling with a nasty custody case off and on for over 2 ½ years. We first went to the Cantor Law Group as a father desperately needed to relocated his son for his wellbeing. We were so lucky to get Nik as a representative back in 2017, he was able to help us get the child relocated. Less than a year later we started getting harassed by the other party and had to re-hire Nik to help us keep the child with us. Nik not only was able to

I’m so grateful that I found Nik Boca at Cantor Law Group. I had a complicated parental rights termination that I was dealing with and Nik was able to step in during the middle of the case and never skip a beat. Nik was instrumental in communicating with the other attorneys involved and was able to help me resolve my case favorably with the court. He is thorough and detailed but even more importantly, he is caring and diligent about working in the best interest of his clients.

Nik Boca and his team were a pleasure to work with from start to end. He was honest from the beginning and knowledgeable throughout the process. Nik was communicative and did a wonderful job of keeping us at ease. We got the results we wanted for our family at the end and we couldn't be happier!

Being recently divorced and enduring a lengthy litigation process I can first hand testify that going through a divorce is a difficult time for all parties involved. I sought representation from Nik Boca after being referred by another attorney practicing in a different field. Upon meeting Nik I knew immediately that he was an honest attorney and was really invested in aiding me in seeking resolution. Not only was he informative, but he was clear about his expectations.
