Putting Kids First

Every Child Deserves to Be Heard

Children's Lawyer Services ensure that children's perspectives, views, and needs are represented in family law and child protection matters. This includes legal representation, documenting their wishes, and helping courts, mediators, and parents make child-focused decisions.

Nicolle's approach is child-centered, trauma-informed, and deeply respectful of each child's individuality. As an agent for the Office of the Children's Lawyer (OCL) and in private practice, she offers children a safe space for sharing their thoughts without pressure or judgment.
