Steven Nichols believes that an attorney’s job is to vigorously defend each client’s rights. That means anticipating your opponent’s every move, getting in early, staying late and doing everything you can to protect the client’s interests.
At Christian & Small, Steven has a diverse civil litigation practice that includes experience with products liability, premises liability, business, personal injury, transportation and insurance law. He says the firm equips each attorney with the technology, human and legal resources needed to be the best lawyers they can be. Steven appreciates the firm’s supportive and collegial atmosphere, and an open door policy that fosters professional development and pay dividends for firm clients.
