If you are looking for an attorney who handles education and employment matters, you have come to the right place. Having received Avvo's Client Choice Award from 2020 to 2025, I am a highly-experienced federal and state litigator who practices education law and employment law throughout Virginia. I focus my education law practice on all matters affecting students, including academic integrity, conduct, discipline, due process, disability, accommodations, and Title IX.

The Best of the Best
My case file has just closed today! I am frankly overwhelmed at the attentiveness and keen insight into the matter at hand, and above all the human empathy and compassion demonstrated throughout my seven month legal event. It is an honor to have known you, Nick! And yes, obviously, I highly recommend...

Pure Relief
We hired Nic to help us deal with a serious problem regarding an ex-employee who was trying to game the system and extract/extort a settlement from us. Nic took control of the situation from the beginning and helped us back down the opposition with no settlement. We would hire him again tomorrow.

Great Attorney
I spoke with Nick about a employment matter recently and although he didn’t represent me he gave me a free consultation with very good legal advice & tips and I greatly appreciate his time and legal advice. He seems to be an excellent attorney, very professional and very ethical.
"I endorse this lawyer. Nick and I have a client in common. We have joined forces to assist our mutual client, and because of this I've been able to witness his impressive legal knowledge and skill firsthand. I fully endorse this lawyer as a reputable and honorable attorney whom clients can trust."
"I’ve known Nick for a long time and had the privilege of working with him at the Virginia Attorney General’s Office. I have watched Nick practice law and have witnessed his legal skills first hand. He is a highly skilled litigator and is equally lethal in the appellate setting. He’s one of the best I’ve seen. Anytime I have an issue arise in the context of federal practice, Nick is the first attorney I turn to for wise counsel. He is truly a great mentor to me, I know his clients love him, and he’s one of the most capable lawyers I know. I am proud to endorse Nick."
