He is a passionate advocate and supportive member of the team at Darrell Cochran Personal Injury Lawyer.

As a youth, Nick was fascinated with the inner workings of the judicial system and legislative process. As Nick was contemplating his future during college, conversations with legal practitioners and judges made him appreciate how impactful legal proceedings can be, even in cases that are largely ignored by the news media and government leaders. Throughout his experiences volunteering for pro bono and clinical legal work during law school, Nick came to realize the important role that private attorneys play in holding corporate and institutional powers accountable for wrongful and negligent conduct.

Today, Nick is committed to helping individuals and families harmed by others understand and navigate the legal system as they seek justice and closure throughout Washington. He never loses sight of the emotionally charged journey a victim has endured and believes that everyone who has suffered due to the actions of others deserves capable and zealous representation, which he commits to daily.
