Biography
Experienced Criminal Defense Attorney and Founder of Battlefield Law Group
Nicole Naum is a highly respected criminal defense attorney based in Manassas, Virginia, with over 15 years of experience representing clients throughout Northern Virginia. As the founder of Battlefield Law Group, PLLC, Nicole is known for her unwavering commitment to defending individuals facing both misdemeanor and felony charges, with a strong focus on DUI defense.
Nicole has earned a powerful reputation in DUI law, driven by her passion for protecting clients from the serious consequences of impaired driving charges. She regularly attends national DUI defense seminars and advanced training to stay on the cutting edge of changes in DUI laws, enforcement tactics, and scientific developments in breath and blood testing. Whether defending a first-time DUI or a complex felony-level case, Nicole combines deep legal knowledge with relentless advocacy.
She is well known and respected by the prosecutors and judges, across Prince William, Fairfax, Loudoun, Arlington, Culpeper, Stafford, and Fauquier Counties. This regional insight allows her to tailor strategies that are not just legally sound, but courtroom-specific and effective.
Nicole earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law in 2008 and has dedicated her entire legal career to criminal defense. Her academic background in Mathematical Sciences from the University of Michigan gives her a unique edge in analyzing technical evidence, such as toxicology reports, breathalyzer data, and body cam footage, especially critical in DUI and other scientifically based cases.
Her approach is strategic, detail-oriented, and client-focused. She understands how overwhelming criminal charges can be and works closely with each client to guide them through the process with clarity, respect, and tireless advocacy. Whether in negotiations or at trial, Nicole brings depth, focus, and tenacity to every case.
Nicole’s excellence has earned her numerous accolades, including multiple selections to Super Lawyers Rising Stars (2014, 2015, 2018–2022), Prince William County General District Court Attorney of the Year (2013), and most recently, The National Trial Lawyers Top 100 Criminal Defense Attorneys (2024). Her firm, Battlefield Law Group, was also named Best Law Firm in Manassas by Business Rate.
