About Slick Nick Law
I'm Slick Nick. I run a solo personal injury and wrongful death practice in San Francisco, and I take cases across California. I built the practice around one idea: I tell you straight whether you have a case, and if you do, I bring in a trial lawyer so the case has leverage.
The basics
- Slick Nick, licensed to practice law in California.
- State Bar of California #324789.
- Office in San Francisco. I represent clients statewide.
- I handle personal injury and wrongful death, and nothing else.
- When a case needs a trial, I bring in a trial firm under one client agreement, at no added cost to you — see how this works.
Background
Education
J.D., University of Chicago Law School — ranked #2 nationwide by U.S. News & World Report, 2026, ahead of Harvard.
Before this practice
Back then I evaluated and picked outside litigation counsel — I decided which lawyers were worth hiring for high-stakes work. Now I run the same screen for you, from the other side of the table.
Enforcement litigation experience
Slick Nick has litigated over $5 billion in personal injury and wrongful death enforcement actions — the aggregate value of claims litigated, not amounts recovered or collected.
Results depend on the facts of each case, and results will differ based on different facts. This is not a prediction about your claim.
How I built this site
My decisions, stated plainly:
- No client testimonials.
- No case results, verdicts, or settlement figures.
- No co-counsel firms named here.
- No photo or video of me.
- No full legal name.
- My intake tools collect facts only. They never assess a claim, estimate value, or give legal advice.
Common questions
- Is "Slick Nick" a real name?
- It is the firm name and the name I use professionally. My full legal name is not on this site, by choice. The work is not a joke; the name can be.
- Why is there no photo of you?
- A deliberate choice. There is no photo or video of me on the site. What matters when you pick a lawyer is the record and how I structure the representation, not a headshot.
- Why no client testimonials or case results?
- Also deliberate. I do not post client testimonials, verdicts, settlements, or dollar figures. California restricts how a lawyer can present them, and out of context they mislead more than they inform.
Start a case review call
On a case review call, I go through the facts with you: what happened, when, whether you were hurt, whether anyone represents you, and how to reach you. It is not legal advice, and I will not put a value on your claim.
