About Our Firm

Our History

When looking for an attorney it is important to find one who fits both your needs and personality; one who makes you feel comfortable that your matter is being taken care of in the most effective and appropriate way.  What sets our approach apart from others is our goal to make sure our client’s situation is approached with common sense, while being a strong advocate for you on matters of importance.  Client decisions make a big difference in the outcome, length, and expense of a situation.  Our main concern is that you feel you are given all of your options, with advice from us, and then able to make an informed decision on how best to proceed.  We will advise you, but you are ultimately in control of how your case is resolved.  We handle our client’s situation with logical, effective attention to detail.  We strive to keep the big picture in mind and advocate for a resolution that best fits the particular facts of your case in a personal and comfortable manner.

    I had the pleasure of working with Nicholson Law, and I can't speak highly enough about my experience. From start to finish, Melissa and Erica were incredibly organized, making what could have been a stressful process smooth and manageable. … More I always felt heard, and it was clear that my best interests were their top priority at every step. Trust is crucial when it comes to legal matters, and I felt completely confident in their guidance and expertise. They were also prompt in responding to any questions or concerns I had, ensuring I was always informed and had autonomy. I highly recommend Nicholson Law to anyone in need of reliable, compassionate, and professional legal support.

    Melissa and team were great to work with! I would highly recommend her. I needed someone who could explain the process I was about to embark on and give me the advice and patience I needed during a really difficult time. Melissa and … More her team showed me early on they were reliable, compassionate, and knowledgeable. It made this process so much easier knowing I could count on her to represent me. Melissa and team did an amazing job. Thank you!
