      "Nicole Exceeded All Expectations"
      Nicole got exactly what I wanted and what was best for my situation.

    Nicole O'Neal was a Rock Star in court
    We just concluded a 7-month child custody ordeal. At the conclusion of the trial and prior to the judge's ruling, I told Ted Butler that win, lose, or draw, Butler Hodge and Moss was the very best firm we could have hooked up with, and Nicole O'Neal was a Rock Star in court! Her grasp of the law, her ability to shift gears in court, and her relentless pursuit of justice in the face of real disingenuous behavior by witnesses was just awesome to watch. I would not want to be in her crosshairs in court. From Mattie at the front desk to Debra, who kept the crew in line and was so compassionate, to Ted Butler and of course Nicole, this was the best team we could hope for. BTW, the judge later ruled in our favor!

    Most Respected Attorney in the Area
    I've known R. Ted Butler for years. My cousin worked beside him for years and said he is one of the most respected attorneys in the area. I couldn't imagine using someone else if I needed legal representation.

    Nicole Exceeded All Expectations
    Hire her now! Nicole exceeded all my expectations! She was extremely knowledgeable, was great with her responsiveness, hardworking, and straightforward. Thankful would be an understatement in having her representing me in court. She fought for me, she was fair and reasonable. Nicole got exactly what I wanted and what was best for my situation. I was blown away by her in court, she was a beast! I would NOT want to be on the receiving end of Nicole O’Neal! In addition to Nicole doing an amazing job, Julie and Mattie were very professional and responsive with any and all interactions.
