I'm a proud, a sixth generation Texan - born in San Antonio, attended Plano public schools, and obtained my bachelor's degree from Southern Methodist University. I attended law school at St. Mary's University, during which I was a member of Law Journal and was a national liaison for the American Bar Association’s Law Student Division. I've had the chance to work in both the public and private sectors, for non-profit organizations, and in 2009, I started a business helping consumers with credit-related problems, which was converted to my law firm in 2012. I am proud to represent a variety of clients, who have come to trust me to be relentless in achieving their goals. It's a trust I take personally, and it's my highest honor that clients entrust me with their most significant challenges.

If you need a bulldog in the courtroom - hire Justin!
If you need a bulldog in the courtroom - hire Justin! Mr. Nichols does a phenomenal job in the courtroom of succinctly presenting an executive summary of the case and why it should be ruled in his clients' favor. He holds opposing counsel's witnesses to the fire. He's astute at punching holes...

Transparent, Fair, Confident--Best Attorney I Have Hired!
Justin was such a pleasure to work with! I had to transfer my case from another disappointing attorney and Justin took it on without issue. Justin is transparent and fair--he doesn't sugar coat and he brings confidence and offensive posturing to the courtroom! His office staff, April and Mary, are ve...

Real Estate Fraud Case Won
Mr. Nichols was by far the best to handle our real estate fraud case. We had interviewed several law offices while trying to find the right attorney to help us overturn a fraudulent (forged) and illegal transfer of our property. We knew we needed a highly skilled attorney on our side, and after our f...
"It is my pleasure to endorse attorney Justin Nichols. I worked with him on tough divorce case and he proved to be the consummate professional. It was clear to me throughout the case that he is smart, well-prepared and fights hard for his client's objectives, yet does so in a manner that doesn't create conflict with opposing counsel that only makes it harder to move the case forward. Anyone looking for a high-caliber attorney would do well to discuss their case with Justin Nichols before making a decision on who to hire."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have been licensed to practice for 26 years and I have done so in three states. I endorse Justin Nichols because he has both a great command of and respect for the rules of procedure. Justin fights for his clients without attacking and offending the opposing party. I would hire him to represent myself or my family. He is a credit to our profession. Adam Cortez"
"I am an attorney-mediator in the DFW area and recently had the opportunity to mediate a divorce case for Justin. I was very impressed with his advocacy skills, preparation, knowledge of the law, and true compassion for his client. Divorces are difficult on their best day, and mediations are extremely emotional for the parties. Justin was able to balance being a strong advocate for his client while also being realistic and empathetic for his client's needs. I enjoyed working with Justin and hope to have the opportunity to mediate for him again."
"Justin is a zealot and capable advocate. He approaches every case with the same level of determination."
"I had a hotly contested case against Justin recently, and I found him to be an outstanding attorney who fought hard for his client. At the same time, he was very professional and ethical. Further, he was "on call" for his client 24/7, as he sent and responded to time-sensitive case communications day, night and weekend. I strongly endorse and recommend Justin."
"I endorse this lawyer. I've found Justin to be a devoted advocate for his client, and skilled litigator."
"Justin Nichols is as zealous and hard working as they come. His office is friendly and welcoming for all kinds of clients. Whether they be wealthy real estate moguls or struggling single parents, Justin's clients can all count on him to work hard and never back down from a challenge."
"Justin is a fantastic litigator. He is thorough and knowledgeable. I know that I am sending my clients to a top notch attorney when I refer them to Mr. Nichols."
"Mr. Nichols is a passionate and driven attorney, who works tirelessly to achieve the best results possible for his clients. He has quickly become a skilled and knowledgeable practitioner in a variety of matters of civil litigation."
"I've known Justin for 6 years and not only is he an amazing person, but he is a stellar litigator with a legal brain that can turn on a dime. He’s a sixth generation Texan who can play hardball with the best of them, but he also knows when to compromise (an important, often rare, quality in an attorney.) Justin is a compassionate champion of the underdog and relentless when it comes to resolving a case in a manner that is fair and just. Frankly, I would trust him to repair more than just credit. A great attorney and zealous advocate."
"Where can I begin? For those who have had the pleasure to interact with Mr. Nichols, they know just how astute he is. His legal prowess is unmatched for such an attorney in his young career. As a colleague, Mr. Nichols is by far one of the greatest mentors I have encountered in this profession. He is a zealous advocate and his compassion for the underdog and children is unwavering."
