About Nicholas
Biography
Since 2010, I have been counseling small businesses on day-to-day operations, representing small business owners at various stages of their business from startup to sale, and advising individuals and families on their estate planning.
I have always embraced the ideals of small business owners because both his father and grandfather have owned their own small businesses. As a small business owner himself, I understand the unique intricacies involved with starting, operating and expanding small businesses.

Very knowledgeable on Intellectual Property. He was able to help put my mind at ease with some detailed explanations of what is involved in transferring ownership of Intellectual Property. Wish I found him when negotiating terms for my Employment Contract.

Helped with my bad business choices
Nicholas helped me find resolutions to some bad choices I made in my partnership. He didn't sugar coat anything which was useful because I knew what could happen if I made certain decisions. Would recommend.
