Welcome to the home page for the law office of J. Nicholas Bostic. If you are here because you need an attorney, remember—there simply is no substitute for experience.

The need to search for an attorney means you have already decided that you have an important matter to deal with. Take a few minutes to review the Practice Areas page to decide if I offer services in your area of need. Then take your time reviewing my background page.

Once you are satisfied I can help, please contact my office. Fee arrangements are flexible and depend greatly on the type of problem. I am located in Lansing, Michigan and can easily attend virtually any court in the lower peninsula without additional charge.
