Bo Nichols handled my complex divorce with both professionalism and genuine care. His 29 years of experience in family law were evident in how he navigated custody and property division with precision. The recognition as a Texas Super Lawyer and inclusion in Best Lawyers in America are well-deserved—he’s clearly a standout in his field. I appreciated his deep understanding of Houston family courts and his strategic approach to negotiations. While his responsiveness was generally excellent, there were a few instances where follow-up took longer than expected. On the cost side, his fees were fair for the level of expertise provided, though I wish there had been more transparency on billing increments upfront. Overall, Bo’s dedication to achieving the best outcome for my family made the process less stressful. I’d highly recommend him for anyone facing a high-stakes divorce in Texas.
