Jerry Nicholson began his legal career in 1978 working as a Deputy District Attorney for Orange County. In that role, he prosecuted both misdemeanor and felony cases. Additionally, he was assigned to the county’s Narcotics Task Force, where he investigated and prosecuted major narcotics cases. As a Deputy District Attorney, Jerry Nicholson gained the considerable trial and courtroom experience that serves as a foundation for his criminal defense work today. Subsequently, Mr. Nicholson became a partner in the statewide law firm of Hunter, Nicholson, & Mason, where he supervised all of the firm’s criminal and litigation matters. In 1987, Mr. Nicholson launched his own practice exclusively focusing on criminal defense. That practice has now expanded to include all areas of criminal defense.
