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. I focus my employment law practice on employees and matters affecting their employment, including job offers, compensation, wages, disability and accommodations, discrimination, sexual harassment, termination, retaliation, contracts, non-compete and other restrictive covenant agreements, and severances. Over the years, I have successfully advised and represented hundreds of employees and students to not only know their legal rights but to also defend them. For all of my clients, I provide personalized attention and cost-effective legal services. With more than two decades of in-the-trenches experience, I make protecting your rights my mission. Don’t suffer an injury in silence or feel you are alone. Contact me for an initial consultation of your case. The best and quickest way to reach me directly is through my website's contact us form or by sending me an email directly.

"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."
