Nicholas J. Vail

Although Nick takes great pride in assisting individuals and businesses of all sizes, as a small business owner himself, Nick especially enjoys representing entrepreneurs, creators, innovators, and small businesses in establishing and growing their own enterprises.

Prior to founding the Law Office of Nicholas J.

When not digging through contracts or case law, Nick enjoys searching out live music and heading outdoors to bike, ski, and golf.
