About Justin P
Justin P Nichols earned his Juris Doctor from Campbell Law School in 2010 after completing a Bachelor of Arts in Legal Studies at the State University of New York at Fredonia in 2005. He combined a liberal arts undergraduate education with three years of formal legal training before entering the practice of law. Those milestones frame a professional path centered on state-level practice in North Carolina.
After law school, Nichols began working in the legal community in North Carolina. He holds membership in professional associations and participates in the networks that connect judges, clerks, and fellow attorneys across the state. His background in legal studies and a J.D. provide a foundation for courtroom work as well as alternative dispute resolution.
Nichols’s work is organized around family law. He represents clients on matters commonly seen in state family courts: dissolutions of marriage, custody and visitation disputes, child and spousal support issues, and the division of marital property. He handles both negotiated settlements and contested hearings. He also assists clients through the paperwork and procedural steps that parallel court filings, from temporary orders to final judgments.
He approaches each file with attention to both legal detail and practical consequence. Courtroom filings and statutes matter, but so do schedules, school calendars, and the financial realities families face. That combination shapes how he prepares cases and communicates options to clients. He has experience drafting pleadings, preparing discovery, handling hearings, and advising on settlement strategy.
At Averett Family Law, Nichols works alongside other attorneys who concentrate on family-related matters. The firm’s name signals the practice area, and his day-to-day work reflects that emphasis. He manages a caseload that includes both litigated matters and negotiated resolutions, and he spends time advising clients on the procedural steps that follow filing.
Nichols’s trajectory is straightforward: legal studies in New York, a law degree in North Carolina, and a practice built around family law in that state. He remains active in professional circles and practices family law at Averett Family Law in North Carolina.
