Nikole loves to win. Her competitive drive may be the reason she became a litigator, but she has built long-standing, trusting relationships with her clients because she is also reliable, detail-oriented, and dedicated to keeping up with the ever-changing legal landscape of her niche practice area.
Over the span of her more than 20-year career, Nikole has represented insurers and employers in litigation involving employee benefit plans. She has extensive experience litigating claims that are governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as well as in complex litigation involving myriad individual insurance policies and annuities subject to state law regulation, class actions, and appellate advocacy in multiple federal and state jurisdictions.
The clients Nikole regularly serves are leaders in the industry of life, health, disability and other insurance products. She works closely with in-house legal teams and business clients to achieve success in litigation and mediation across the country. Nikole serves as regional counsel for multiple large insurance companies and leads a team of Womble Bond Dickinson lawyers across the firm's footprint to provide efficient and individualized litigation strategy and management.
When she is not focusing on the ideal litigation strategy for each client’s case-specific needs, Nikole values participating in charitable endeavors with the Atlanta Bar Association and running half-marathons with fellow St. Jude's Heroes.
