About Us

Attorney Nickerson wants to know about you and your family. Every defendant or party to a civil action deserves an advocate that will understand them, their needs, and their unique situation.

People 1st Law was founded on the belief that legal services shouldn't have to bankrupt you or your family. We offer reasonable pricing and want to be by your side at a difficult time.
