Erik and his crew are very professional, nice and helpful. He handled my case very well, and saved me from jail. On top, he gave me some advice and information that I will need in the future. The best lawyer you could ever get. Highly recommend!

Got my first (hopefully my last) DUI in the beginning of January. Was extremely overwhelmed! Began to receive all kind of letters in the mail. Erik’s stuck out to me! Gave him a call for a consult. This was done promptly and explained very well. He kept me up to date and broke down anything that I had questions about. If I was unable to reach Erik his secretary Tionna was always quick at returning emails and phone calls! They were a great team to work with. Thank you so much Erik.

I highly recommend Mr. Nicholson’s services. His expertise on Oregon law and the Court process made my experience less stressful. Every step of the court process was explained thoroughly and he answered any questions I had. His firm charges a reasonable flat rate with no extra fees. I feel he made every effort possible to find the best outcome for my case.

Confidence Inspiring Advice I had an incident that was the result of my poor judgment. The charges were serious enough that my reputation would be adversely affected and future employment could be jeopardized. I wanted a strong advocate with my best interests in mind. I contacted Attorney Nicholson and after moderate consultation, we had a strong game plan. I was advised by Attorney Nicholson to take specific actions. It did require an investment of time and effort on my part , but the results were more than I had hoped for. We were able to work with the DA to get weighty charges reduced to a simple infraction. Additionally, the paperwork at the courthouse contained a grave error, charge-wise, that would have gone on my record and haunted me. Due to my attorney's vigilance, he caught the mistake and oversaw the correction with the clerk at the courthouse. It was because of the sound advice, and my willingness to work with my attorney, that the results were so favorable. I can wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Nicholson to anyone who may find themselves in a legal predicament

Mr Nicholson is a very Professional and personable Attorney. If you work with him (getting him the information he requests, in a timely manner) your case go smoother. His receptionist is very polite and Professional as well. I 've used him twice and got favorable outcomes each time.

Erik Nicholson, I will forever be grateful for the hard work and dedication you have provided to me and my family during my case. Erik did not overpromise during the initial review, yet overdelivered in every way possible during the case. First off, I was very pleased when I was met with Erik's Legal Secrertary, Tionna. Tionna was the first person I met with when hiring Mr. Nicholson and she showed the exact same professionalism as Erik does in and out of the court room. She is an amazing communicator, sharing all the necessary updates before, during and after the case. Erik Nicholson has created and negotiated the best possible outcome for me and the case I was dealing with, and I am very pleased to have found him and Tionna. Without Erik's legal representation, I truly believe the outcome of my case would have turned out very, very poorly. The dedication to my case that Erik provided was outstanding and I can not say that enough. I have never found myself in the position to need a lawyer before this case, and he broke down all the future steps and positions we would be taking along the way, making it easy to understand even as a first time offender. He is very respectable and to me, most importantly, he will never let you feel like you're alone in this process. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY advise for anyone who is looking for legal representation, no matter the magnitude of the case, to speak to Mr. Nicholson and his wonderful Secretary Tionna, if you are looking for the BEST possible outcome.

Erik came highly recommended to us by a Clackamas county firm. He plead down felony and misdemeanor charges that my 21 year old son first time offender was facing (potential prison time). Erik always made himself available to answer our questions. He is detail oriented when explaining things, punctual, courteous, honest, personable, and very reliable. He is worth every penny and I give him the highest recommendation possible.

Erik was great to work with. He made the whole process very easy and made it so that we only had to return to Hillsboro once to settle the entire case. He also helped us to get started on the transfer of probation from Oregon to Washington. He was continually updating us and was almost always available (except when in court) to answer any questions that we had.

Free Consultation with Erik Nicholson

Erik always provides a free consultation. This will give you an opportunity to do three important things:

  1. Discuss your case and understand how we can help you.
    There’s a good chance you have never hired a lawyer and don’t know what to expect. We want to make this process easy from beginning to end. We understand that choosing a lawyer is a big decision and we want you to learn about our successful approach to criminal defense.
  2. Learn how Oregon law applies to your situation.
    There is a lot of false information about criminal law especially on the Internet. I often speak to people who are making decisions based on information that is just plain wrong. The defense decisions you make today can have dramatic and lasting impacts for the rest of your life. Make sure you are building a solid strategy based on accurate and timely information.
  3. Learn the costs of hiring a lawyer & what to expect moving forward
    One of the most common questions we hear is “how much does it cost to hire a criminal defense lawyer?” Unfortunately, the answer is “it depends”. We offer an upfront flat fee and payment plans for all cases. We know hiring a criminal defense attorney is unexpected so we try to offer excellent service at a lower price than our competitors.
