About Nicholas
Biography
Born and raised in North County San Diego, I have continued the family tradition of defending people faced with Criminal and DUI charges in San Diego. After graduating Thomas Jefferson School of Law with Cum Laude Honors in 2007, I immediately began practicing criminal and DUI defense alongside my father, Attorney William R. Christoph.
His 35+ years experience in criminal defense have proven to be a invaluable asset that few lawyers have access to after lawschool.
Since 2007, I have handled hundreds of misdemeanor and felony cases from DUIs, DUI with Injury, Drug Sales, Drug Posession, Theft, Domestic Violence, Assault and Battery cases and more. I pride myself on putting the clients interests above all else and providing quality personal representation.
We are San Diego Attorneys who practice in San Diego Courts. Our Office is across the street from the Vista Courthouse and we are over there everyday. If you or a loved one is in jail we can often do a same day visit.
Whether you are facing criminal charges or looking to clean up your record from a past conviction, please feel free to give me a call. We never charge for initial consultations and we take pride in our practice.
