Jud Nichols fights for the rights of the accused by providing individualized representation in all stages of felonies, gross misdemeanors, and misdemeanors. From the beginning of each case, Jud works with people to get to know who they are, what challenges they face, and what their goals are. Understanding every person’s circumstances is essential not just to building the best defense, but also to sustaining well-being.. Prior to becoming an associate attorney with Ramsay Law Firm, PLLC, Jud previously worked for the Wright County Public Defender’s Office, the San Diego Public Defender’s Office, and another well-reputed private criminal defense firm in the twin cities. He has worked on hundreds of different criminal cases, ranging from bail hearings to jury trials.. He achieved his first Not Guilty verdict while still in law school. Afterwards, a supervising attorney told him, “Cherish those words, because you probably will not be hearing them again anytime soon.” Less than a year later, he heard them again after an assault jury trial in Wright County. He also heard them in his first month at Ramsay Law Firm, PPLC, when Jud second-chaired a felony jury trial that resulted in a Not Guilty verdict.. Jud has successfully had several cases dismissed by challenging illegal stops, searches, seizures, and arrests. He understands that criminal defense is about protecting the constitutional rights afforded to every person, and he is committed to upholding those rights.. By traveling throughout Latin America and Spain, Jud learned to speak Spanish. He believes communication, collaboration, and straight-forwardness are all crucial to presenting, and winning, cases.
