"Attorney Nicholson is without a doubt one of the brightest rising stars in the field of criminal defense trial attorneys. She has a won several hard fought jury trials in the last few years and does not shy away from a hard fought battle over serious charges.
I've personally seen Attorney Nicholson at work in court, reviewed the entire trial court record and transcripts from a case she handled at the trial level and followed her hard fought victories at trial over the past several years. With that insight in to the high standard of her work, I would endorse Attorney Nicholson without hesitation."
