Offering a compassionate and caring hand in helping employees whose rights have been violated.
I am an employment law attorney working in Santa Barbara, California. My job is to listen to individuals who have recently been terminated from their employment or who are experiencing a hostile and contentious work environment. I see these individuals during their worst moments, when they feel like they are utterly alone and lost. I enjoy being able to ease that individual's worry by taking on their case and zealously representing their interests. I look forward to the day that the matter is resolved so that my clients can move forward with their lives and put all that negative energy behind them.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
I do not hesitate to give Nicole my highest endorsement. I have both litigated against and worked together with her on numerous employment matters. Nicole not only has a superior understanding of employment law, she also goes above and beyond to advocate for her clients. She knows her clients well and advises them exactly of what to expect. Further, she is extremely skilled in the courtroom and it appears nothing phases her. This was evident when I worked as a co-counsel with her. I also do not hesitate to use Nicole as a resource on complex matters. You can’t ask for a better attorney to represent you or your business needs.
