Our Testimonials

As a President / CEO of a community bank for the last 30 years, I can appreciate family law and family law attorneys. Bo Nichols is by far one of the best. His firm goes above and beyond for their clients and his staff is knowledgeable, competent and exceptionally responsive. If you're going through any type of family law issues, Bo Nichols would be my recommendation to anyone needing representation in the Southeast Texas area.

Bo is very professional and ethical in how he handles his business. As a father who fought to be with his kids for several years and had a very difficult ex that did almost everything possible to interfere with that, Bo got the resolution I was looking for. His guidance throughout the process was well articulated and there is no question he understands his profession. Bo handled a very difficult custody issue very well and there is no question in my mind who I will go to for future support if needed.

I had the privilege of working with Bo and his team for my family law case, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the outstanding legal representation I received. Bo is more than just a lawyer; he's a compassionate and dedicated advocates who truly cares about their clients. Bo took the time to listen to my concerns, providing reassurance and expert guidance every step of the way. Bo's knowledge of family law is unparalleled, and they ensured that I was well-informed about the legal process and potential outcomes. What sets Bo and his team apart is their unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible results for their clients. They are a fierce and strategic litigator in the courtroom, fighting tirelessly for my rights and interests. I felt confident and supported throughout the entire process, knowing that I had a true advocate on my side. Beyond their legal prowess, Bo exhibited exceptional communication skills. They promptly responded to my emails and calls, keeping me updated on the progress of my case. This level of accessibility and transparency made a challenging time in my life much more manageable. Additionally, Bo showed remarkable empathy and sensitivity to the emotional toll that family law matters can take on individuals and families. He provided emotional support when I over worried, which was just as important to me as their legal expertise. I am pleased to say that with Bo as my attorney, we achieved a favorable outcome in my family law case. His attention to detail, thorough preparation, and dedication to my case were evident throughout. If you are in need of a family law attorney who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about their clients' well-being, I wholeheartedly recommend Bo's and his team. They are the embodiment of what a family law attorney should be: compassionate, knowledgeable, and a relentless advocate for justice. I cannot thank Bo enough for the exceptional legal representation and support they provided. They truly are a beacon of hope in the world of family law, and I am forever grateful for their guidance and expertise. Thank you!

Bo was my second lawyer. I ended up at his office after my prior attorney gave me bad advice at our temporary orders mediation and I had an uphill climb to come back from it. Bo will tell you straight, he really challenged my thinking and my ideas. I think I really grew as a person, from a stay at home mom with a very scared and controlled mindset. It has been great for my case and my self esteem. He is not cheap but I knew I wanted a litigator who would go to court (I'm also an attorney). Divorce is hard and petty. I was a mess and he was calm and planned long-term. I ended up with the custody and child support arrangement I wanted for the most part, without having to go to trial. Yes, Bo is expensive. He is worth it though. As an attorney I have been shocked at how poor many other attorneys out there are and/or the unethical tactics used. He works the case and does what is needed. He took me seriously which was so important to me. I knew I didn't want to totally destroy my ex as was suggested by several lawyers. Bo is a good mix of caring and tough, and I am very pleased with the great outcome he got for me coming from behind as I was.

Bo is wonderful. He is professional, caring, knowledgeable, and human. I was pleasantly surprised by his candor and honesty. I don't have much experience with attorneys, but he exceeded all expectations professionally and was an incredible human being.

I have been battling a divorce against an abusive spouse for several years. I hired Bo initially, and then retained another "local" small town attorney when I thought I was in the home stretch. WHAT A MISTAKE! I reached out to Bo on a Friday night and he called me back immediately. I gave him the updates and he agreed to take my case (again). I instantly started receiving emails and communications from him and his team to get me through the short term emergency hearing. He hit a home run for me then and stayed with me. Bo treats you like family and goes the extra mile to make sure you and you children are protected. I recommend him 100%!

From the beginning John (Bo) was straight forward, understanding and very detailed in his approach with me and my case. He caught and corrected many mistakes my previous lawyer made. I always felt he was ready, willing and able to go to trial. many mistakes

Mr. Nichols handled a civil matter for me against a renter. He made sure I was kept informed on all aspects of the suit through mediation and finalization. He is not only a knowledgeable and skilled attorney, but he is also very personable. I would definitely call on him again should the need ever arise.

I had interviewed quite a few lawyers before I met with Bo. Within the the first few minutes after meeting him, I knew he would be the right one for me. Throughout the whole process he was very straightforward and didn't promise to do anything that he didn't deliver on. At each hearing it was obvious that he was prepared and appeared to know the facts of the case far better than the other side. Thank you Bo. Thank you so much.

I found Mr. Nichols to be extremely knowledgable, aggressive and well versed in what the other side would try to do. I found this very comforting at a difficult time. I highly recommend him.

I could not find an attorney who believed and respected my rights as a father. Bo believed in me and my the case. He was calm, a leader and ready at every stage of the case. In April 2012, I was awarded custody.

Bo NIchols is a top notch lawyer who went to bat for me and my two children. When things got ruff he stayed the course even when I was really nervous in the midst of the storm. He knows his business. My experience with him was very well. My outcome came up roses.

We hired Bo to protect our son's visitation rights with his daughter. Our son was repeatedly being denied visitation by the mother of his daughter. Because of Bo's knowledge & expertise, our son was awarded full custody of his daughter, and she is now in a safe, stable & loving home. It is exceedingly rare for custody to be taken away from a mother and awarded to a father in Texas courts, and we were extremely fortunate to have a lawyer of Bo's caliber working for us. We highly recommend Bo.

Bo knows Texas Law. He embraces family values, has a deep passion and the highest respect for family law. He served and protected my constitutional rights as a parent and the rights of my beloved daughter. Bo Nichols was honest and respectful, yet tough and intelligent when prosecuting my case. What a tremendous lawyer, cultivating exceptional relationships, delivering impeccable standards, he is well respected by his peers, and a leader for justice in our family court system.

Bo has represented my husband and I in a very complicated custody matter since April 2015. This is an extremely unusual case involving other family members (not a divorce situation) and he has remained confident, knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire process. We have been extremely happy with the outcome so far and impressed with his litigation skills. Let's just say we Almost felt pity for the opposing counsel.. We know we are in good hands and have no concerns about outcomes of possible future proceedings. Also always prompt to return phone calls, emails, etc. and has a great staff. Highly recommend Bo!!

Since 2006, Mr. Nichols, "Bo" has provided his professional legal services for my case in the Fort Bend County Family Court arena. He is a dedicated Family Court Attorney, a specialist in this area of Law, and has always demonstrated to me the highest standard of character and professionalism, both in and out of the Courtroom environment. Frankly, Mr. Nichols has prevailed in every Court action on my case to date, against several "High Profile" opposing legal counsel. He was prepared, tenacious, knew the court system well, and was confident in the outcome. He truly cares about his Client, and the outcome of the case pending. In almost 10 years, and numerous Court actions, I have always been kept up to date by Mr. Nichols and his legal staff in a timely manner, and he has always been a "phone call away" to discuss areas of concerns or options available. Since Mr. Nichols is a Family Court specialist, He is well versed in these Courtrooms, and what they expect in a trial environment, unlike the numerous multi-talented Attorneys that practice in every field possible! They will simply present your case and hope for the best....Think about it...Do you want a DWI or a Real Estate attorney handling your divorce or child custody case, or do you want a Family Court Specialist to represent you...In closing, I highly recommend Mr. Nichols for his professional legal services, where I am confident you will agree, in Family Court there are numerous choices available, Mr. Nichols is one of the BEST....

Family law is not a practice area where your clients are particularly enthused to be in the process. I would say I definitely fell into that category. Bo represented me in a divorce and custody matter. I did not enjoy the process, but Bo was proficient and human. He did an excellent job on the legal matters, but he also was very respectful and empathetic concerning the process. Bo understood that the most favorable outcome was still going to be an unfortunate life experience for me and gave me wise and knowledgeable advice. He routinely counseled me as my attorney, and then also as a father and husband. I only paid him for his legal counsel, but I was most appreciative of his human qualities. There are literally thousands of "lawyer jokes" out there. Bo humanizes the practice and that is something that is truly rare and valuable. If you are in a relationship that has reached its end and need a divorce lawyer who is not a robot, Bo is one of the most talented out there. I would highly recommend him. I sincerely hope I never find myself in those circumstances again. If I do, I will be going with Bo.

Immediately following our initial consultation with Bo, I knew our search for the most qualified attorney to represent my son had ended. I hired him without hesitation even though his fees were higher than others we had contacted. My son was being denied visitation and Bo started strategizing and working on our case as soon as the contract was signed. In spite of my son's prior criminal record, Bo's knowledge and expertise in family custody law put our minds at ease that he could still obtain a favorable verdict. His celebrity endorsements, name recognition, familiarity with mediators and Judges, and the respect he has from his peers within the Court system were impressive as well. Our case was settled in mediation with a victorious outcome. Bo continues to make himself available resolving all issues and concerns as they arise. I am forever grateful to Bo for his dedication to see that our grandson be returned to us. Personally, I would not want to be on the opposing side of him in Court because of the successful reputation he has earned. We would hire him again in a heartbeat...he is definitely worth every penny.

I used Bo as my attorney in my divorce and we had children involved. From the moment we started to the very end Bo exemplified complete competency in every detail of a divorce case with children. He knew I wanted to be fair and to put the children first by doing what was best for me as a mom to continue to care for them. I felt like I had not one worry during the whole process, which is not easy, that I would be protected and each detail of the divorce was fully examined through discovery. I believe the more you help Bo with knowledge about your case then the more he can do for you and remain fair.

He has been at my side for the last four years. I continue using him due to the results he has yielded. He carried me and my daughters thru a difficult period and always answered my calls when I had questions. He has always been accessible and has answered my questions promptly. As we all know that going thru a divorce is not an easy proposition. There are winners and losers but the children always bear the brunt of the situation. John was very helpful in mitigating the event and minimizing the after effects. I will continue using him when the need arises.

Bo has been my lawyer for almost 4 years from temporary orders, divorce, custody and recently child support modification and enforcement. He has won every single case in our favor. If you have ever seen Bo in action in the court room, you should be happy he is on your side and not opposing counsel. In a stressful situation like court where you are out of your element, its reassuring to have someone that is confident and always prepared. I would recommend him to anyone...in a heartbeat.

Bo NIchols is a top notch lawyer who went to bat for me and my two children. When things got ruff he stayed the course even when I was really nervous in the midst of the storm. He knows his business. My experience with him was very well. My outcome came up roses.

Bo has worked with my family on several issues which were resolved to my satisfaction. He has always been helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him.

Bo and his staff were professional and extremely helpful from the start. He was fair, honest and extremely helpful about the entire process and in all our dealings. Would recommend his office to anyone. It was a quality experience from start to finish. A huge thank you to Bo and team!

From our initial interaction on, Bo clearly explained the process and expected timeline for what could take place during the divorce process. Once the divorce started, Bo and his team worked diligently and effectively to ensure that my interests were protected and served to the highest degree possible. Additionally, Bo and his team were extremely attentive. Throughout the divorce process, I had many questions, and Bo and his team responded almost immediately to any of the questions I had, that were communicated by email. And, anytime I asked to meet with Bo in person, he and his staff were able to set the meeting within a couple of days of my meeting request. Also, there were a couple of complex issues related to my divorce, and Bo and his team were able to navigate and resolve those issues, resulting in an outcome that I am very pleased with. Most importantly, Bo and his team showed an extremely high level of compassion and capability in successfully helping me through one of the most difficult times in my life, and for that, I am truly grateful.

Bo came highly recommended from a friend. I had contacted and interviewed 7 other recommended lawyers prior to contacting Bo. All 7 lawyers informed me that the case I was presenting had no chance. In my initial telephone conversation with Bo, I could see that he was asking a few questions that none of the other lawyers asked. He dug a little deeper and truly understood the dynamics of a very unjust settlement ruling that had been issued. Bo was able to correct the unbelievably poor efforts made by the previous attorneys by having the original sloppy divorce decree virtually re-written. He then presented a compelling case which clearly spelled out the neglect and unjust previous ruling. That resulted in the opposing party agreeing to a more just settlement. Bo accomplished what every other lawyer said could not be done. Throughout the entire litigation, Bo was extremely prompt in responding to phone calls, text or emails. Bo would respond, (not an assistant) many times within hours or on the same day. If you need a lawyer to do the impossible...Hire Bo!!!

Bo helped me with a custody case that crossed the Texas state border. He was very compassionate about my case, both personally and professionally. He made me feel very secure. Bo’s team of attorneys, paralegals, and assistants were always easy to reach and never made me doubt their ability to help me during this stressful time in my divorce/custody case. Bo went the extra mile to make sure that I was always aware of what to expect; good or bad. And Jennifer, Angie, and Camille were very supportive as well. I never felt like I was just another random case file. When Bo and his team were brought on, I didn’t have a lot of time to legally “fight” my ex. They worked day and night to make sure I had the results I wanted. And I will be forever grateful for their diligence and attention to detail. They are all wonderful people and professionals and I can’t thank Bo enough for his knowledge, support, and sense of humor (trust me, sometimes it’s a good thing to laugh when faced with such a serious issue). Thank you, Bo, for everything!!

My family and I have used Bo twice. He was an absolute Godsend to us. A bulldog. The Rocky Balboa of family law. He adds comfort to an overwhelming time. Professional and considerate. He listens attentively to your needs and he will ALMOST make you feel sorry for the other guy. He’s the one you want on your side in that courtroom.

Bo did the unimaginable for me. He completely turned my situation around and I am convinced that he is the only lawyer who could have fixed the mistakes that my previous lawyer had made. I highly recommend Bo, he is prepared, watching him in the court room is amazing, he was made to do this and he does it well.

I hired Mr. Nichols after an 18 month divorce battle in which another attorney had represented me. It took Mr. Nichols only 20 days to settle the matter. The mediation settlement was done on Memorial day, a holiday, which Mr. Nichols set up as to not have any more postponements. This was going above and beyond. Mr. Nichols has a deep understanding of the law and was up to speed on the issues in no time. If you want some one who will be understanding, compassionate, and fair, I highly recommend John Bo Nichols.

Bo represented me in a child custody matter, then again in a divorce. In the child custody situation, Bo helped to correct a custody order that was a the result of a botched attempt from another attorney which ended up with 4 kids (middle school age)going between two homes week to week for a year. Bo literally gave me and my kids our lives back. Now 8 years later, they are all well adjusted, in college and doing very well. The divorce was my most recent situation. It could have had a major financial impact on my family. But Bo helped to resolve everything successfully. Both times I could not have asked for a more knowledgeable, thorough attorney. Not only were both cases decided in my favor, but Bo made sure everything was finalized appropriately and all loose ends tied up. He is definitely an advocate for his clients, whether it's in mediation or in court. Bo Nichols is very well respected in his field and second to none. I have recommended Bo to several of my friends and co-workers. And I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who has a legal family matter to resolve.

Firstly, I never write reviews; however this one was worthy of doing so. I was referred to Mr. Nichols by a friend. I was reluctant, but he and his team did not disappoint. I've never been though any type of court process so I was an emotional rollercoaster and understood nothing. Ending a 15 year marriage was heartbreaking and they made me feel like I talk to them about anything and that I was never a "bother". They actually care. The day of court was extremely hard for me emotionally. However, I found peace in my representation. For the first time, someone "had my back". Mr. Nichols (Bo) was beyond impressive; I've never witnessed anything like it. The knowledge and professionalism were on another level, not to mention the organization displayed! The attention to detail was insane. HE KILLED IT IN COURT and his team is BEYOND AMAZING! As the saying goes, you get what you pay for and they earned every single penny. I questioned myself MANY times along the way because it's such a hard time, but they are the best decision I could've made. Hands down, THE BEST!!!!

From consult to the first hearing, the dedication and commitment from Bo and his team; Kris, Serena and Annette, was unlike anything I’ve seen. They’ve taken on my custody battle as if it were their own family involved. From the off, the communication and guidance has been SECOND TO NONE. Their organization and expectations have been SECOND TO NONE. Bo operates with his heart on his sleeve and a bull dogs determination to get what is right - not just to win, but to get what is RIGHT. His integrity towards his profession is absolutely admirable beyond measure. To use words like, impressed, thrilled or appreciative would be words far to minuscule to describe Bo and his wonderful staff. Myself, my family and my closest friends will be forever indebted and grateful for Bo, his team and KoonsFuller. if you’re in the unfortunate position to have to fight for your children and yourself - Bo Nichols and team will absolutely take care of you and yours.

Let me start by saying I rarely write reviews, and in submitting this review I’m also exposing myself to judgment for a few bad choices I’ve made. But I feel strongly enough about the representation I received from Bo Nichols to happily share my story. To my dismay, I am a repeat client of Bo Nichols. In 2010, Bo helped me with a very ugly, contentious child custody modification. I was not very well represented (by another attorney) during my first divorce and felt pressured to agree to terms which were not in the best interest of my children. With Bo's assistance, the situation was corrected and my kids and I got our lives back. Bo knew I was considering remarriage and despite his counsel to me in 2010, I failed to draft a pre-nuptial agreement before my second marriage. Hence, seven years later, in 2017, I found myself facing divorce #2 and I once again turned to Bo for assistance. Thank God there were no children from the marriage, but this time I was faced with fighting for everything I have worked so hard to provide for myself and my children. It was especially difficult for me because I am a woman with a successful career and 4 children to put through college. Bo helped me to put things in perspective, paint a vivid picture of my situation for the mediator, and ultimately resolve the matter to my advantage. Bo has tremendous knowledge of the law and the Texas court system. He fights for his clients with confidence, persistence, and edge. He is a no-nonsense type of attorney who is not afraid to go head to head with opposing counsel and take the fight to the court room, if necessary. However he also has a compassionate side. Bo was always there to help calm my fears and reassure me that everything would be ok. While I wouldn’t wish my situation on anyone, there is no attorney I’d rather have on my side than Bo Nichols.

Simply put, I could not have asked for a better attorney. From the first meeting, I knew Bo and his team were the people to trust with the welfare of my child at stake. Through every aspect of the case Bo has exceeded my expectations, and been there every single time I have needed him (which has been a lot). Not only is he beyond knowledgeable with every aspect of family law, he is very conscious and considerate of the financial burden of such litigation to his clients. There is no one else better than Bo at protecting the welfare of children and the interest of his clients. I am beyond thankful that my child and I have him, and I cannot thank him enough for everything he has done. Bo has exceeded my expectations since I hired him in 2017. As a parent seeking custody, I wouldn’t have anyone else by my side through this process. Bo was able to deliver exactly what we set out to accomplish, and our child’s life will be forever better due to his, and his teams efforts over this past two years. Through this case I was able to witness his expertise in all areas of the process from: game plan/preparation, mediations, depositions, hearings, trial prep, and negotiations. I can first hand vouch for his character and his ethics. Bo will do what’s right and what has to be done to protect the welfare of his clients children even in the toughest of circumstances. His reputation precedes him and you will get exactly what you pay for. My family and I couldn’t be happier with his sincerity, honesty, work product, and the final outcome. Trust Bo, and trust his process. I will never be able to thank him enough for what he has done for my family. I will recommend him to anyone in need of superior representation.

Bo helped my husband and I obtain custody of a distant relative (9 year old child) who was the victim of child abuse. He understood the law as it applied to our situation, and guided us through a complex system of Family Courts and Family Violence Courts. Bo was committed to this child as if she were his own.

After paying much time and money with the first divorce lawyer, I was referred to Mr. Nichols by a friend. I am so thankful for the excellent work my lawyer did in the first hearing! Mr. Nichols is a smart, very knowledgeable, and well-spoken lawyer who turned the results of first hearing into my favor. I am still in the middle of divorce. But, I am certain with his ethical/professional manner, my lawyer will get the best and fair possible outcome for me.

It became very clear after having a pre trial prep session with Bo that he was very knowledgeable and experienced at trial law. The level of detail in his preparation was impeccable. I believe the time he spent prepping Ms Boldridge was the key to winning the case. Thank you Bo for all your hard work and attention to details regarding this case.

I have known Bo for over 8 years now, and he is very knowledgeable about the inner workings of family law. If you have a challenging or difficult case, HE IS YOUR MAN. He is always prepared, and will make sure he works above and beyond to get you the results you need. I without a hesitation recommend him. In court he shines like no other. His support

I had a consultation and he provided me with all of the information I needed and was very thorough in answering my questions. I had a lot of concerns and he not only gave me a plan but put me at ease. I plan to call him with any future legal needs. When it comes to your family and children you want someone on your side with the knowledge base he has. If you’re considering a family attorney stop looking right now and call him!
