Her work spans every phase of the criminal process—from trial to post-conviction, and both State and Federal appeals.

She rose the ranks and became a lead felony prosecutor and was selected to serve on the elite Hiring Committee. Her 3+ years of experience as a prosecutor in a high-paced setting sharpened her understanding of the inner workings of the justice system, and continues to inform her incisive defense strategy.

With over 50 jury trials tried to verdict and oral arguments before the Eleventh Circuit, Nicole is known for her clarity under pressure, creative litigation style, commanding presence in the courtroom, and highly effective advocacy skills.
