Nichols Gelmann LLC

Emily and her team were nothing short of life-changing for our family. My mom was facing an incredibly difficult, emotionally draining situation as she navigated renegotiating alimony nearly eight years after her original divorce settlement—one that had been deeply unfavorable. We honestly didn’t know how much could realistically be changed, but Emily stepped in and completely transformed the outcome. From the start, Emily approached the case with compassion, intelligence, and relentless determination. She carefully revisited the original decisions, identified critical opportunities that had previously been overlooked, and assembled an outstanding team of experts to strengthen every aspect of the case. The result was transformational: she secured a major victory that included a substantial increase in ongoing monthly alimony, legal fee coverage, and most importantly, a true fresh start for my mom’s future. What Emily accomplished was far more than legal representation—she gave my mom hope, stability, and a foundation for a new beginning. Our only regret is that we didn’t find Emily and her team sooner. If you or someone you love is facing the painful process of divorce, separation, or asset division, we cannot recommend Emily highly enough. She is an exceptional advocate, strategist, and genuinely caring professional who goes above and beyond in every possible way.

A deeply disappointing and unprofessional experience. I normally do not write reviews, but my experience with this firm was so unprofessional that I feel obligated to warn others. I hired Nichols Gelmann for a property dispute case and ended up paying over $20,000. In return, I received extremely slow communication, repeated delays, and constant pressure to “settle” on terms that made no sense and were not in my best interest. Despite clearly telling them from the beginning that I wanted to go to court, they kept pushing me toward a settlement that benefited the other party, including recommending amounts that were completely unjustified and not supported by any evidence. They even prepared written “recommendation letters” that I never asked for, and then billed me for them. When I questioned the unexpected charges and lack of communication, instead of fixing the issues, they chose to withdraw from my case shortly before trial — leaving me to deal with everything on my own. I had to go directly to the court, and I ultimately resolved the case by negotiating a fair 10% settlement myself, with no help from this firm at all. Looking back, I feel this firm prioritized billing over representation. I would strongly recommend anyone considering them to read everything carefully, stay on top of every charge, and think twice before trusting them with something important. I wish someone had warned me.
