About Nick
Biography
Nick C. Thompson is a dedicated attorney focusing on bankruptcy and foreclosure defense, serving the Louisville, Kentucky area. With a legal career spanning over 30 years, he focuses on utilizing Chapters 7 and 13 to help manage financial challenges like mortgage, business, student loan, and income tax debts for individuals and small businesses. Since 1991, Nick has built a reputation for excellence in consumer bankruptcy law. Committed to providing personalized service, he has limited his practice to fewer than 20 cases per month since 2005, ensuring each client receives the dedicated attention they deserve, without delegation to paralegals or junior attorneys.
Nick's rich background includes a significant role as an assistant attorney general in West Virginia, where he contributed to the state tax code development. His financial acumen is further supported by his experience in inventory accounting for an oil company and working with lenders. While he has the training to be a CPA, Nick chose to focus on law, practicing in federal court. His legal career has been diverse, with positions as a prosecuting attorney, assistant county attorney, and a federal public defender under the CJA program, reflecting his commitment to legal excellence and client advocacy.
