What recent reviews say

Satisfied clients praise Summer Nichols and her team for emotional support and clear communication in divorce cases, often noting paralegals April Wooster and Darlene Lane by name. However, reviewers consistently report being declined at consultation, ignored for weeks, billed unexpectedly after dismissal, and kept from direct attorney access, with several explicitly citing discrimination against those with legal insurance plans.

Recent shift: No clear shift, but the most recent negative review (1 star, 2 months: "Never returned calls") suggests communication issues persist despite older five-star reviews praising responsiveness.

Praised for
  • compassionate and emotionally supportive
  • responsive and prompt communication
  • thorough explanation of legal steps
  • professional and knowledgeable representation
Watch-outs
  • poor initial communication or no response
  • refuses cases based on payment method (legal insurance)
  • limited direct attorney contact; reliance on paralegals
  • abrupt case dismissals without explanation
  • high retainer fees with unclear billing

Common questions

Do they handle contested divorces?
Yes, but reviews show mixed results. Some clients report attorney being overwhelmed by opposing counsel; others (uncontested or mediated cases) report prompt resolution. Communication gaps are a recurring concern.
Will they take my case if I have legal insurance?
Multiple reviewers report being declined or deprioritized. One reviewer noted the office serves ARAG legal insurance; another was rejected for MetLife legal plan coverage. Policy appears inconsistent.

Most clients report fast, friendly service and favorable outcomes. A minority had poor experiences with specific attorneys, citing delayed court appearances and weak representation. The firm spans multiple practice areas; reviews speak most often to adoption, criminal defense, and vehicle title disputes rather than foreclosure or loan modification.

Most clients praise Glenn Taylor for swift, professional real estate closings and staff responsiveness. The office handles title work across the Jacksonville metro area, though reviewers note the single Orange Park location is a drawback for some.
