Nicholas is distinguished by his commanding courtroom presence and profound understanding of evidence rules. His trials include acquittals for clients charged with misdemeanor and felony offenses. In April of 2023 Nicholas orchestrated and executed a legal strategy as the lead attorney in trial where his client was charged with serious felonies and facing 30+ years in prison.
