Christopher R. Nichols
Personalized Attention
Unlike some big advertising law firms, our law firm only accepts a small number of the most serious personal injury cases. We never farm out cases to other lawyers, and if we accept your case, you are assured of working directly with Chris Nichols from start to finish. All personal injury lawyers charge basically the same fee, so why would you want your case to be just a number at a giant law firm? At the Nichols Law Firm, we know each client by name, and every new client gets our attorney's direct dial phone number. Because we only accept the most deserving clients, we can give more attention to each person and family that we help.
Free Consultations
We offer free telephone and in-person consultations for all new clients. If you cannot come to our office, we will come to you, even on weekends. We will fully explain how the law applies to your personal injury claim, and, together, we will decide what the best legal options may be for you and your family. Attorney Chris Nichols has earned a reputation throughout the North Carolina legal system for his responsiveness to client needs and commitment to helping clients get fair and just compensation when they have been hurt by another person's carelessness.
A Wealth of Experience
For thirty years Chris has worked exclusively for injured people and the families of those killed by the negligence of others. Chris is asked to teach other lawyers his trial skills, negotiation strategies, and inside information from three decades of litigation. Chris has appeared in at least half of the 100 counties in North Carolina, and while he will try to get you a fair out of court settlement, if the insurance company is low balling, he won't hesitate to file a lawsuit and let a jury decide what is fair.
It's What YOU Get That Matters
In most personal injury cases, health insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, and unpaid medical providers all want to take a big chunk of your settlement. Chris Nichols literally wrote "the book" on preserving settlements and defending against claims that would give his clients less money from their settlement. Since 2007 Chris Nichols has been the Editor of the North Carolina Personal Injury Lien Manual, published through LexisNexis, the first and only manual for personal injury liens in North Carolina. The Manual is on its Fifth Edition and is used by lawyers across the state to help their clients preserve and maximize their personal injury settlements. Chris never stops advocating for his clients, even after the case is resolved.
