Jerry helped our family to overcome a difficult case against my son.
He stood by us through the whole process. If you need a good criminal attorney, he is who you should go with! Thank you Jerry for all you have done and continue to do for us! If we need a lawyer in the future, we will definitely use you again!

My wife was ticketed by a police sting on grubhub drivers delivering alcohol. This was a misdemeanor charge. They used a dummy minor (17 years old, but he looked like he was in his 20's. This guy was buffer than any 17 year old Id ever met.) We hired Jerry and Julissa. A couple months later, they got the DA to dismiss the charge in a special hearing before the arraignment. My wife was out of the country during the hearing, while Jerry and Julissa were handling everything. They were always quick to respond to any questions we had. We also want to mention that it brought us great comfort to know

Jerry and Julissa are the best legal team in Long Beach! They took care of my entire legal matter without me needing to do a thing. Julissa is always there to answer any questions you may need and Jerry will call you with updates you along the way. Thank you Jerry!

Jerry did an amazing job with my case. He explained what was happening and would give examples or simplify it so that I could understand. He got us an amazing plea bargain. I paid 1.5k instead of 8k because Jerry found something in the court papers. I would recommend Jerry to anybody that is able to afford a private lawyer.

I never thought I would need to hire an attorney so when the CHP gave my daughter a suspected DUI I didnt know what to do. I knew I needed a great attorney but who??? I started my research and took down tons of notes but still wasnt sure on who to choose, there are so many attorneys. Thank goodness my best friend recommended hiring Jerry Nicholson!! His extensive knowledge and reasonable price won me over. The whole process took almost a year to get resolved but we got the best verdict we could hope for thanks to Jerry. He took complete charge and handled everything in a professional manner.

Jerry sees the law from every angle, we were in a very bad situation and it didn't look good. In fact we were preparing for my husband to do time. We knew it didn't matter that the man he hit was a known creep and was luring young females to his upstairs (27th floor) high rise by offering alcohol and drugs in our building on ocean Blvd. While we wanted to celebrate my husband knocking him out the police wanted my husband arrested ASAP. Two problems we faced were; 1. Creeper was hit so hard he didn't wake up for a couple days and wasn't released from the hospital for over

Jerry is a reputable lawyer who has helped me win my recent case for weapons possession and the subsequent charges related to it. He has years of experience, which helped me seek a resolution that resulted in the case being dismissed. The case went smoothly, even though there were a few bumps along the way; it couldn’t have turned out any better. I would also have to note that Kathy Fazli, co-counsel, was a huge help to both Jerry and I during the process, without her the case would have carried on longer than it should have. A big thank you to the Nicholson office and warmly recommended.
