For many, with its high price points and costly fees, the legal industry has evolved into something substantially different from its initial concept, now more driven by dollar bills than by justice.

As a first-generation lawyer, Nicolet encountered many unknowns in law school and early career steps.



To overcome this, he sought mentors and immersed himself in research. Nicolet says, "The big thing I did to overcome these obstacles was just to work at getting more knowledgeable and getting better continuously. Improving my skills, my knowledge, and finding some early mentors in the legal profession that were kind enough to give me a hand.

As a young attorney, I tried to soak up as much as I could from all the attorneys I came across and learn from really good attorneys that I had the pleasure of meeting sometimes, they were even opposing me." Nicolet pursues further knowledge to better his practice. Unlike many attorneys, Nicolet actively seeks training with top injury lawyers across the US, expanding his knowledge base beyond local experience.
