Attorney Nicole Sanchez
Since 2013, Nicole has devoted her career solely to criminal law, building a reputation as a formidable force in Florida courtrooms. Board Certification in Criminal Trial Law, the highest recognition of competency by the Florida Bar, places her among an elite group of attorneys recognized for exceptional skill, experience, and professionalism in the courtroom. For clients, that means you are working with an expert who has consistently succeeded at the highest levels of practice.
Nicole served as a prosecutor in Fort Lauderdale at one of Florida’s busiest State Attorney’s Offices. She rose quickly, eventually becoming a lead felony prosecutor.
Her years as a prosecutor provided valuable insight into how cases are built and prosecuted. That experience enables her to anticipate and potentially dismantle government strategies with surgical precision in her criminal defense practice.
