Michael J. Nies, Esq

Attorney Nies is a lifelong resident of Erie, PA. He has practiced family law, real estate law, and estate planning in the region for more than a quarter-century. He is trained as a litigator and a collaborative law attorney. But experience isn’t the only factor that makes a good attorney. As with doctors, there is something of a “bedside manner” when it comes to attorneys. Attorney Michael J Nies is an excellent listener who will make sure all your questions and concerns regarding your case have been answered to your satisfaction. He treats each client and each case on an individual basis, avoiding too broad of an approach. Attorney Nies will always be honest with you as well.

Attorney Nies promises to always provide a realistic assessment of your case and will seek the best results within reach. He also makes sure to go over all legal options with clients, as well as their expected costs, so clients can always make the best decision in each case.

Bradley K. Enterline, Esq

Since 1984 attorney Bradley K. Enterline has been providing legal services for clients in a number of legal areas with a focus on family law including divorce, custody and support in Erie County, Crawford County and Northwest Pennsylvania. While attorney Enterline still provides those legal services he has come to realize that litigation is not always well suited to family law. Too often, litigants spend too much time, emotional energy and money on divorce and other family law issues. Collaborative law provides an alternative and has many benefits over litigation. Attorney Enterline’s mission is to help individuals resolve their conflict themselves without getting lost in litigation. This is especially important for those individuals who have children and want to minimize the harmful effects of divorce on them.
