Nicole has been practicing family law exclusively for over eleven years. She handles dissolutions, custody, and modification matters.
Nicole grew up in southwest Colorado and received a B.A. in English Literature from the University of Colorado-Boulder. She then moved to Virginia and taught seventh grade for several years before applying to law school. Nicole graduated law school at Oregon University in 2013. During law school, she clerked with the Oregon Department of Justice-Child Advocacy Section, which is when she discovered a passion for handling cases that dealt with the intersection of the legal system and families. Nicole was part of the law school’s Domestic Violence Clinic, which provided low-income clients with free representation under attorney supervision.
After law school, Nicole moved to Pendleton, Oregon where she began her family law career at Grable Hantke Law Group. In 2015, Nicole and her husband opened their own law practice in Pendleton. During that time, Nicole represented hundreds of clients in family law matters. In 2023, Nicole and her family chose to move to the Portland area to be closer to family.
In 2025, Nicole received a B.S. in Psychology from Eastern Oregon University.
Nicole currently lives in Lake Oswego with her husband, two very rowdy boys, two dogs, and two cats.
