We had a great experience with Christopher Kelly taking care of our Trust. He was incredibly helpful and thorough and was able to meet our request in a very timely manner. The virtual signing was also a huge plus with Shari doing a great job with some of our technical issues.
Nikki Nicholaou is a great attorney when it comes to traffic violations. She pulled off the impossible by standing her ground and not conceding to stubborn prosecution. She knew my case, was familiar with precedent and would not backdown until I got the best possible outcome. I highly recommend her. Nikki will make Partner in the not so distant future… I’m sure of it. Thank you Nikki!
Attorney Chris Fry helped me with a prenuptial agreement, and he was fantastic. We were working with a shorter timeline, and he handled everything efficiently and professionally. He was incredibly knowledgeable, easy to work with, and made the whole process smooth. The entire firm was great to work with as well. Highly recommend!
I recently worked with Nikki Nicholaou to take care of an old traffic ticket in Colorado after I’d already moved away. She handled everything in court on my behalf and kept me informed every step of the way. Thanks to her excellent work, I only had to pay court costs—no extra fines or penalties. I appreciate her rofessionalism and highly recommend her services.
We were very happy with our decision to go with Flatiron Legal after doing a lot of research. We worked with Chris Kelly for our estate planning.

Based on our experience, we would highly recommend Chris and Flatiron Legal!
