About Nick
Biography
I am from Minnesota originally and became a Lawyer in 1991. I have practiced Criminal Law nearly exclusively during my legal career. I enjoy working out, fishing, and MMA. I have won 85 0/0 of my jury trials. I once got a "not guilty" verdict after just 10 minutes of deliberation. I enjoy people and life experiences.
