Jack Nichols has been serving injured people as a trial advocate
since 1966. The foundation for his skill in trial law began
with a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Florida
in 1958. A Juris Doctor degree was conferred upon him by the
University of Florida in 1965. The College of Law recognized
his superior knowledge of evidence by awarding him the American
Jurisprudence Award in Evidence. He has completed several post-graduate
trial schools, some including theatrical techniques. His competence
and experience as a civil jury trial lawyer have been recognized
by the National Board of Trial Advocacy and the Florida Bar
both of which have made Jack Nichols a Board Certified Civil
Trial Lawyer.
A Unique Perspective...
Through his considerable experience as a trial lawyer, Jack
Nichols has gained a healthy respect for the similarities between
a successful theatrical performance and a jury trial. He knows
the jury is both the audience and the critic. He emphasizes
interesting features in his cases for an impact that will motivate
a jury to return a favorable verdict for his clients. He has
handled many jury trials against large corporations and hospitals
during his career. The experience he has gained from litigating
against these opponents helps him to know what to expect and
how to prepare for the traps.
Jack Nichols has handled cases from the local federal court
to the United States Supreme Court. He has also handled cases
in the Florida state court system from local courts throughout
Central Florida to the Florida Supreme Court.
Experience Is Valuable...
Jack Nichols has sharply honed his skills as a trial lawyer
through experience gained in the many jury trials he has handled
since 1966. Unlike many trial lawyers, Jack Nichols also personally
handles the appeals taken from the jury trials he tries. This
appellate court experience makes him a better trial lawyer because
writing appellate briefs and presenting oral arguments in appellate
courts requires a thorough understanding of the subtle nuances
and interpretations of the law of evidence. This is important
when a jury trial record is being made in the courtroom.
There are more than 26 published appellate court opinions in
which Jack Nichols was counsel of record. Several of these appellate
opinions established new law in Florida which trial judges follow
throughout the state. When trial judges rely upon appellate
decisions Jack Nichols has handled on appeal, this engenders
respect for him.
