Client of Jackie Moss


Mike is an exceptional lawyer who truly cares about his client. He made a very stressful emotional time turn out to be the best possible outcome . He's highly skilled in his profession and was honest and trustworthy. I highly recommend Mike to anyone seeking counsel. Thank you Mike for all your hard work and dedication. We are so grateful for you!
Client of Mike Nichols


I'm so glad I hired Mike. From the first day it was apparent that he had my best interests in mind. His knowledge and expertise was able to poke holes in my case and helped me receive a plea deal of a reduced sentence. Thank you Mike!
Former client and NFL-player of Mike Nichols


Jackie Moss was an excellent attorney for our situation. He took the time necessary to fully understand what was going on and had the knowledge of what court actions were necessary to provide relief. We did not have to go in alone and I was very pleased with the results.
Client of Jackie Moss


Again, I think you and your team did an awesome job. Your billing was very fair and your communication excellent. While I am not an expert (thankfully) I believe your knowledge of the laws and procedures regarding DUI related offences really made a difference. Thus, I would highly recommend your services.
Client of Mike Nichols


Mike, After I talking to you today, I think I left the wrong impression of my perspective on the last 10 months. I used the term lucky. What I should have said is that good lawyering caught issues with the GRPD that other attorneys wouldn't have. Yes, they screwed up but you were able to capitalize on those issues. I have a lot of respect for what you accomplished, and in my haste I didn't want you to think that I didn't understand what a great job you and your team did. Thank you,

Hi Mike, I'm sorry this message is coming your way later than I intended, but I wanted to thank you for participating in the Criminal Law Section's Annual Program. As always, you did a great job. You are so knowledgeable about issues related to impaired driving, and our members enjoy hearing from you on that topic. In fact, when we decided to include an update on toxicology testing in the Annual Program, Goran and I immediately thought of you. I appreciate your willingness to jump in--even with very little notice-and participate in our programs. Thank you!

Hi Chris and Mike, I'm sorry this hasn't come sooner but I've been really busy with school lately. I just wanted to thank both of you for your work on my case and let you know that I appreciate everything you've done for me. My life could've ended up being a whole lot different if it weren't for you guys helping me the way that you did and I will always be grateful for that. I had an extremely rough last year, full of sleepless nights and mental struggles but thanks to you, I'm able to go back to the life I had before. I can't explain to you how much this means to me and how much my life has changed because of you guys and your help. I'll never forget the way you two helped me and I hope we can talk again.

Thank you for everything
MSU student and client of attorney Chris Wickman charged with major felonies that were all dismissed.


I am blessed to have had you as my attorney. Thank you for helping me save my future.
“J.A.” – criminal law client of Chris Wickman


As a student at Michigan State University, I was charged with Criminal Sexual Conduct. I immediately retained the Nichols Law Firm and Mike Nichols due to his substantial experience in CSC cases and his widespread reputation as being the best lawyer in Michigan. My experiences with Nichols Law Firm affirmed everything I had learned about him.

We faced tremendous adversity because of the Me Too movement and because of the recent spate of sexual assault charges at MSU. When it came time for the preliminary exam, Mike Nichols showed up with a team of fellow lawyers and paralegals to FIGHT for me. Mike Nichols is an expert at cross-examination and used his skill to unlock the truth during a very lengthy preliminary exam. He and his team were relentless that day. Because of this effort – as well as his close working relationships with judges and prosecutors all over Michigan – he was able to negotiate a plea deal that kept me out of jail and off the sex-offender’s list. Mike and his team saved my career. I would recommend the Nichols Law Firm to anyone who needs to defend their name against accusations of criminal sexual conduct.

“Hey Mike, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for being a blessing. This has been a very difficult time in our lives. Thank you for looking out for my son. It eases my worries.”
-Mom of young man charged in fatal car accident, who is headed to court in early 2019


Mike, I wanted to reach out to you today to express how thankful I am that I had you and your team on my side throughout my whole situation. With living out of state I knew you guys were doing your best to keep me informed with what was going on at all times. I definitely got myself into a bad situation and with your team I think the outcome was the best I could get. Hope you had a great Christmas and Happy New Year! Thank you again!
Client of Mike Nichols


I was handed multiple MIP's and Drug Charges through the course of my freshman year at MSU. Having Mike in my corner made all the difference. Mike was able to have many charges dropped completely and worked out the best plea deals the court offers. When Mike walks into the courtroom by your side you you can relax knowing he will fight for you for the absolute best results in the best interest of yourself. I am convinced Mike Nichols is the best attorney you can work with. His hard work and professionalism constantly produces results. I would not hired another attorney. I would not be where I am without the help of Mike Nichols and the Nichols Law firm.
Client of Mike Nichols


"...today I was out with one of my reps and it started to sink in. I get to keep my job and continue to work with great people. I wouldn't be able to say that without your help. Everything from start to finish was benchmark. I appreciate so much all the effort you and your staff put in!!"
Happy Client Who Gets to Keep His Job - Mid-Trial Dismissal of OWI


My life would have been over if I would not have met Mike Nichols. He is there every step of the way taking care of everything. He is like a pit bull defending you. He is the most professional on top of the law person I have ever met. He put me at ease immediately and knows the law inside out. If anyone is in need of a defense attorney for anything, he is your guy. I thank you Milke for everything you did for me and am forever grateful.
Cathy Anderson


Mike Nichols represented me in a DUI case in early 2016 that resulted in a dismissal of all charges. I had originally had a first-consult with two other attorneys about my situation and can say I was extremely disheartened. And then I found Mike Nichols!! I found him by referral from friends, and he immediately made me feel like he had true hope in my case. I felt like he had my best interest in mind and the best intentions from the beginning. That he was on my side and he was going to fight for me to the end of this case. Right away, I could tell he was listening intently to everything I had to say, and he knows to ask all the right questions. He is very calm, and straight to the point. In the court room, he catches onto the smallest details and runs with them. He knows exaxtly how to approach the judge and is truly eloquent when he speaks. I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the way he conducts himself and calmly reads situations and picks out the important details that most would never pick up on. It was also quite apparent to me that he has noticeable respect in the court room by the judge. I cannot express enough how happy I am with the result of my case and every aspect leading up to it. Working with Mike Nichols was one of the best decisions I have ever made!!!
Very Happy Client of Mike's


I want you to know how grateful I am that you handled my son's case. You went above and beyond for him and are continuing to do so with our comments to others. You are a compassionate caring man/attorney going the extra mile for your clients. Not once did I feel as if he was just another case with you. You truly felt there was an injustice done. I do not think another attorney would have been as compassionate as you are. And you continue to defend him. Again thank you for everything

"Mr. Nichols represents all of his clients zealously and. . . Leaves no stone on the path that he needs to follow unturned."
United States District Court Judge


I HIGHLY recommend Mike Nichols with Nichols Lawyers out of Lansing/Ingham County. He is one of the best in the state and wrote the Michigan OWI Manual. Definitely an expert on all aspects of DUI/OWI law in Michigan. He really knows his stuff, and he taught me everything I know about DUI/OWI law in Michigan.
Attorney in Michigan


I fully endorse Mike Nichols without reservation. Unfortunately, I have needed the services of several dui defense attorneys in the last 1.5 years. As a doctor with many high powered attorneys for friends, I chose my representation from the cream of the crop. Of the 4 attorneys I collaborated with, Mike was the most thorough, professional, and knowledgeable.

Because I was headed to jury trial, I needed a calm, personable attorney who was capable of persuading people. I needed a polished orator. This is where Mike clearly outshines his colleagues.

Mike also has extensive knowledge of the science behind blood alcohol testing. He can sit in a room of chemists and doctors and participate fully in the scientific discussions. This allowed him to look through my case with a fine toothed comb and identify numerous errors during the collection and processing of my blood sample. He is also uniquely able to convey these difficult scientific principles to less educated jurors.
I was very impressed that at one of my preliminary hearings, Mike took the time to confer with me and double check all his notes as the court room sat in silence, waiting for him to get frazzled and sit down. Every time he neared finishing with a witness he would take his time to make sure he had covered all of his bases before he dismissed them. All eyes were on him; everyone wanted him to move on, but he stayed calm and owned the floor.
Client of Mike Nichols


"I sure want to thank you very much! Very good job!"
Client of Mike Nichols


Excellent! It's been a big weight lifted.
I think a better way to say what I wanted to yesterday would be.. I'm glad I got to know you. If hiring you is what it took, so be it.

You may never know how big of a change you truly had on me. Not only did you free me of those charges, you pushed me to work towards a different lifestyle; full of important things. I was caught in a place were no one could change me. You had the right affect, I guess!

Thank you for helping me change.

So, yea I am glad I hired you but our acquaintance had a much bigger influence on my life than just hiring you to do a job.
Client of Mike Nichols


Mike just finished representing me in a DUI case that ended with a dismissal. It was a long and arduous process that ended up taking 22 months. The outcome of my case also had an impact on my professional license ( since I am licensed through the State ). Mike did an excellent and thorough job with my case. Mike not only impressed me with his legal expertise and court presentation but also in his emotional support that allowed me to stay the course and realize complete vindication. Thanks, Mike.
Client of Mike Nichols

Client of Mike Nichols, Ingham County, Michigan


Thank you so very much! I am eternally grateful!
I hope to God that no one I know lands in a similar position to mine but will certainly know to whom to send them if they do.
Client of Mike Nichols, Livingston County


From the night I was arrested till yesterday, I could not sleep and was restless. I walked in home yesterday hugged my family and heaved a sign of relief. I never thought this day would ever come! Yes I did make a mistake that night however not every attorney I spoke to understood the same after my return from jail on that dreadful night , so on one side my world was falling apart and on the other I had to finalize an attorney prior to the arraignment date . I felt comfortable speaking to Mike right after my first conversation with him (I emailed him and he called me back in minutes and yes it was a weekend!)

Mike understands the entire system, and especially for me came as a miracle due to my slightly complicated case because of my upcoming international travel and being in US on a non immigrant visa. He and his team worked with me right from day 1 and kept me informed at every stage, understood my problem, visa issues and my inability to go to trial in the limited timeframe. My OWI was reduced to careless driving yesterday (in my pre trial conference)and it was the best Christmas gift ever for me and my family .Thanks Mike we owe it all to you! For everyone out there if you ever get stuck in a DUI situation in Michigan call Mike, he understands the system and works with you to get you out of it because everyone deserves a second chance.

My experience with Nichols Law Firm has been wonderful! Tears came to my eyes when my charges were dropped for my OWI. I think it was the first deep breath I experienced since that awful day when I got pulled over. Thank you Wendy for the superior job you did on my case. Everything was handled quickly, professionally and you always updated me on the process. The best call I ever made was to your firm.
Client of Wendy Schiller-Nichols


As a repeat drinking and driving offender, I made what I thought was another catastrophic mistake. I was arrested for my third Dui in ten years. Wendy Schiller Nichols and her team at Nichols law firm worked quickly and decisively to put me in the best possible situation. The Nichols Law firm gave me the chance to be successful in the Judicial System with minimal impact to my life, career and family. I not only owe them a huge debt of gratitude but a second chance for Freedom.

Professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable. Mr. Nichols is truly dedicated to his work and his successful history shows it. I was kept in the loop 24/7 and whenever I called the firm, Mr. Nichols would immediately speak to me or return my call on the same day. I felt like I was more than a client and was always a top priority. His leadership also shows in his staff as everyone was extremely helpful and approachable. Fantastic lawyer who I can not thank enough.
Client of Michael J. Nichols


Mr. Nichols,

I say this with the utmost honesty that words could not truly describe how I felt upon hearing the news of the resolution. In fact I had so much energy I went on a 5km run immediately after to relieve all the built up stress (difficult to do when its 110F haha!). I wasn't sure how to quite thank you for all your help in the following days as I really could not express my gratitude though just an Email. The culmination of your team's professionalism, speedy responses, and sense of assurance that I felt throughout this whole process has been unbelievable. Of the five lawyers I called on the morning of the incident, you were the only one to not only return my call but also speak to me with empathy and understanding. I never felt that I was just another client or case but rather like your whole team genuinely cared for my situation.

Before this whole experience I had considered going into law rather than banking at some point in my life. Although it is still far too early to tell, I can definitely say that the scales have tipped for the former. I can not even imagine the satisfaction you must receive from helping and developing personal relationships with people who are in need. I thank you again for all your direct support and will be on the lookout for the fine amount.

I hope to be as good an Officer as you are a Lawyer.
Client of Michael J. Nichols
