History of the Firm

Our history dates back to 1974, when Don Nichols opened his private practice in Minneapolis. His representation set the example for others in the firm to follow: taking all possible measures to professionally represent his clients; taking risks against large and better-financed opponents; and not allowing the financial limitations of clients to impede his zealous advocacy. This has been our way of practice at Nichols Kaster for more than thirty years. Standing behind our commitment to our clients is more than a century of collective trial and appellate experience in state and federal courts and in arbitration.
