About Nicholas G.
Nicholas G. Kline took a steady, academic route into the law. He laid the groundwork at Colby College, where he completed a Bachelor of Arts in 2008. He went on to earn a J.D. from the University of Maine School of Law in 2016. Those years shaped the practical and analytical side of his legal thinking.
Fresh out of law school, Kline joined Shaheen & Gordon, P.A. as an associate in 2016. He moved quickly from classroom theory to courtroom and office practice. The associate role placed him in a firm environment known for litigation work and collaborative case teams. He has remained at the firm since starting there, taking on responsibilities typical of an early-career trial attorney and developing professional competence through casework and firm-supported training.
Kline is licensed to practice in Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. He pairs his multi-jurisdictional licenses with active participation in professional groups. He holds memberships in the Maine State Bar, the New Hampshire Bar Association and the New Hampshire Association for Justice. He is also a member of the American Association for Justice. These affiliations keep him connected to peers and current practice issues across state lines.
Colleagues describe him as thorough in preparation and steady under pressure. He establishes a clear record and relies on careful documentation. He balances attention to detail with the demands of a busy docket. That balance has guided his contributions to trial teams and client work since he joined the firm.
Outside of courtroom and office duties, Kline has engaged in continuing legal education opportunities to stay current on rules and practice developments in the three states where he is admitted. He follows evolving procedural and evidentiary standards and brings that knowledge back to client matters.
He practices at Shaheen & Gordon, P.A., handling matters across Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
