About Nicholas
Biography
Born and raised in Los Angeles, I earned a B.A. in Film and Digital Media and a minor in Legal Studies from UC Santa Cruz, and then a J.D. from University of La Verne College of Law. Since 2011, I've exclusively practiced family law litigation. I've appeared in family law courts in the following counties: Los Angeles, Orange, Kern, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Bernardino, Riverside, Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and San Diego. I have a special needs brother and have significant insight into children's special needs. I pride myself of thinking outside the box and keeping up to date with current laws and cases.

Avoid At All Costs
I hired Salick to help me through a horrible custody battle with a true psychopath. Not only was Nick the most disorganized and useless lawyer (losing documents, lying about losing documents, turning up to court in a sweaty shambles and embarrassing the hell out of me) but he had zero compassion for ...

On your side
Nick was there for me when I needed his help the most. He went out of his way to accommodate my specific situation and gave me sound advice at each stage of the game.
