Combining federal court experience with a deep commitment to community, Jason Nichols provides compassionate and knowledgeable representation in personal injury cases.

Bio

Jason Nichols' approach to law is deeply rooted in his belief that every client deserves not just representation, but understanding. Since joining Rice & Kendig in 2021, he has become known for his ability to listen intently to clients' stories and translate their experiences into compelling legal narratives. His genuine interest in people and their struggles makes him particularly effective in personal injury cases, where understanding the full impact of an injury on a client's life is crucial to achieving justice.

Drawing from his experience as a federal law clerk and his years as a partner at Cook, Yancey, King & Galloway, Jason brings a comprehensive understanding of both sides of litigation to his practice. This unique perspective allows him to anticipate and effectively counter opposing strategies, while always maintaining his focus on achieving the best possible outcome for his clients.

Beyond his legal practice, Jason's commitment to community service through his work with Broadmoor Baptist Church and The Hub: Urban Ministries reflects his belief that being a lawyer is about more than just practicing law — it's about being an active force for good in the community. This philosophy carries over into his legal practice, where he approaches each case with both professional expertise and genuine compassion.
