“I enjoy thinking outside of the box to find creative solutions to client problems. I often find that the cookie cutter solutions can only take you so far, and I pride myself on doing the research needed to find novel approaches that best achieve the client’s ideal outcome. Much like a painting requires the unique expression of the artist, I try to personalize my strategy to each individual client. This is why I see each file as a unique expression of the art of law.”

Areas of Practice

Listening to Client Needs Is a Powerful Tool.

For Nicole, intentional listening is the most important communication skill. She will always take the time to hear diverse perspectives from colleagues and clients to ensure that she’s seeing all sides of the story.

Specializing in real estate law, Nicole has a particular interest in title repair cases. “Issues with titles can be a source of endless frustration for property owners. It’s immensely satisfying to help resolve these issues and bring closure to challenging chapters in our client’s lives.” Nicole’s unique involvement in litigation files better informs her perspective when drafting leases or facilitating real estate transactions as a Solicitor.

When she’s away from the office, Nicole is an avid reader and dog lover, with a passion for film photography. Nicole spends most of her time with friends and family or working on her golf and tennis swings. These hobbies have taught her the importance of patience, composure, and determination when approaching any challenge.
