I have known Cheryl Nicolson for over 10 years. I thought I should tell her story as she has done what very few lawyers that I know have done. She started her firm, Nicolson Law Group, with one client, Electrolux Home Products, in 2008. She came from big law. Today, a decade later, her partial client list includes 10 Fortune 500/Global 500 companies the likes of which include: The Coca-Cola Co., Electrolux Home Products, Ingersoll Rand Co., Rockwell Automation, Target and USAA.

Did I mention her office is in Media and she also has another office outside Los Angeles? That’s right, a woman-owned firm based in Delaware County boasts this incredible marquee client list and revenues that would be the envy of major law firms in U.S. cities.
