From Nicole’s interview for the Masters series on ReelLawyers.com

I became a lawyer because I wanted to help people. At a very early age, I knew I wanted to be an attorney. In first grade, when everyone lined up to decide whether they wanted to be a police officer, a firefighter, or something else, I stood in a line that didn’t exist—the one for aspiring lawyers. I didn’t know any lawyers, had never met one, and wasn’t surrounded by them, but something about representing people and being there when someone else couldn’t speak resonated with me from an early age.

I never expected to be a criminal defense attorney. I have a degree in Mathematical Sciences, which I pursued in part out of defiance—to prove to others that I could do what they didn’t expect of me. When I was introduced to the world of criminal defense, I saw that attorneys weren’t doing everything they could for their clients. Many seemed lazy and too willing to accept the system as it was.

So, I brought my defiance and tenacity to criminal defense to ensure individuals receive the best possible representation.
