I was born and raised in Virginia Beach, Virginia. I made Richmond, Virginia my home in 2008 an could not be happier. After spending approximately 10 years in general practice i decided to focus on Family Law at the Friedman Law Firm, PC.

I wanted to be a lawyer and help people since I was 12 years old.   I worked and "student loaned" my way through college and law school.  I was the first person from the Nolan family to obtain a college degree and then a law degree.  Among my many jobs growing up and throughout my schooling I was a paperboy, a bell hop, a busboy, construction laborer, pizza chef. I was privileged to work as a Summer Intern with the Illinois Attorney General's Office between my Second and Third years of Law School and obtained valuable experience there.  I was a research assistant to one of our professors during law school.. After graduation from law school I worked at a small firm in Alton, Illinois (my home town) and practiced in general civil litigation, including both plaintiff and defendant personal injury cases.  I also handled criminal and domestic relations.. After taking the Missouri Bar exam, I moved to St. Louis County and worked for several law firms handling a variety of cases and courtroom work, including:  Probate, Criminal Defense, DWI Defense, Divorce and Family Law, Auto Accident Injuries and Worker's compensation.. In late 1991, I decided to establish my own law firm and I have been on my own in Solo practice since that time.  Although I now focus primarily on Probate Law, Estates and Estate Planning, I have considerable experience over the years in many areas of law.  I enjoy serving my clients and I believe it is a privilege to practice law.. I currently live in Creve Couer and I am a member of the Creve Coeur Police and Public Safety Committee.  Among my hobbies are running half marathons, cycling, DIY home projects and playing the guitar.
