About Nicholas
Biography
Nicholas Reifsnyder was raised in Pottstown, PA, where he went to Edgewood Elementary School, St. Aloysius School, and then The Hill School. Nick graduated from Hill in 2000, and went to Harvard University, where he graduated in 2004. At Harvard, Nick wrote for the Harvard Crimson and acted in several plays. In the summer between his junior and senior years, he took a trip to Ghana, in West Africa, where he educated the local inhabitants about the dangers of the AIDS virus and established two libraries.
For law school, Nick went to Temple, returning to the Philadelphia area after a brief 4 year hiatus. Nick participated in Temple's nationally renowned Trial Advocacy program, and received awards for Outstanding Oral Advocacy in 4 different classes.
In the summer between his 2nd and 3rd years of law school, Nick interned at the Montgomery County DA's Office. He was hired full-time in 2008. Nick spent 6 years at the DA's office, handling four homicide cases, working on the Economic Crimes Unit, the Drug Unit, and the Major Crimes unit. Nick also established the Public Corruption Unit, and ran both the Elder Abuse Unit and the Gypsy Crimes Task Force. During his time at the office, Nick was selected to attend Top Gun, an advanced school run by the Pennsylvania State Police. At Top Gun, Nick received training from the top detectives and prosecutors in the state on running a complex drug investigation. Nick also received an official commendation from DA Risa Vetri Ferman for prosecuting the case of Commonwealth v. Leveel Bulter Hayes. Mr. Hayes was convicted of 2nd Degree Murder and sentenced to life in jail.
In September 2014, Nick left the DA's office and currently works at the Law Offices of James P. Lyons. See the article written about Nick's departure from the office at ?m=1
