Nick Teel

Nick joined Perkins Law, LLC in April 2022, bringing with him a solid foundation in leadership and strategic thinking developed during his time in the United States Air Force. Over his seven years of service, Nick was involved in a variety of critical operations, including search and rescue missions, overseeing the certification process for personnel tasked with nuclear weapons deployment, and wildland firefighting in the Pacific Northwest. This experience cultivated a disciplined and methodical approach that now informs his legal practice.

While in law school, Nick clerked for a federal judge at the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon. This clerkship provided him with essential courtroom experience and sharpened his litigation skills, which he has since applied in numerous court appearances. Nick’s background in both the military and the legal field equips him with the preparation and focus needed to handle each case effectively and achieve the best outcomes for his clients.

Nick's practice is centered on family law, where he handles high-conflict divorce cases, complex asset division, spousal support, and custody disputes. He has significant ongoing and recent trial experience, which not only strengthens his courtroom advocacy but also enhances his ability to advise clients on trial risks. Additionally, Nick’s practice covers judgment enforcement, contempts, and restraining orders. He is adept at settlement drafting, including drafting stipulated judgments for amicable divorces, and provides strategic pre-mediation advice to help clients navigate their legal challenges effectively. If a party is unreasonable with settlement, Nick is fully competent in representing individuals at trial, ensuring that his clients' interests are strongly defended.
