About Nicole
Biography
Conviction of a crime, or a medical malpractice lawsuit can result in adverse consequences to your employment and your professional license. The benefit to hiring an attorney like me is that I have experience with defending criminal, licensing, and medical malpractice lawsuits. I can fully advise you of any collateral consequences so that you can make an informed decision about your livelihood.
Please reach out for a free consultation so I can help you! I rarely check messages from Avvo, but you can find me on the State Bar website or look me up at my new firm by searching for Low, McKinley & Salenko.
I cannot guarantee results but I will fight to achieve the best possible outcome for you.

She helped keep me calm during the most fearful time of my life!! I hope to NEVER have to utilize her services again, but if I do, I know I wi...
