Wisconsin personal injury lawyer Russell Nicolet
is a legal representative advocating for the most vulnerable, leveraging his expertise in injury law to hold others accountable. His firm, Nicolet Law, reflects his firm belief that legal representation should be compassionate and resolute, emphasizing the ability to help clients in their time of need. Through his practice, Nicolet is standing up for those who need him.
Nicolet was the first person in his family to attend law school, which presented a challenge. He didn’t know what to expect or how he would make things work, but he didn’t let uncertainty hold him back. Nicolet worked hard to gain the knowledge he needed to succeed, continuously improving his skills and learning from others. After graduating, he applied the same approach to building his law office.
As a fresh attorney, Nicolet spent most of his time in the Washington County Law Library to ensure he knew every angle he could approach a case. Even though he was a brand-new attorney, he was determined to handle his clients’ cases perfectly.
“I think becoming obsessed with getting clients’ problems solved and wanting to get better was what made a difference for me,” Nicolet stated.
Nicolet continued to learn from any attorneys he encountered, whether they were mentor figures or the opposition in court. As he encountered various legal representatives and areas of law, he gradually honed in on injury law, and the pool of those he could learn from got that much smaller. Nicolet realized he needed to expand his learning beyond Wisconsin and Minnesota.
“I started learning and training with some of the best injury law attorneys in the world by going to other states to listen to them speak, watch them work, and train with them,” Nicolet explained. “I have been to Florida, Georgia, New York, and California several times to learn from the best of the best of trial lawyers.”

Nicolet Law began as a one-person law office with the simple goal of helping others. His practice has grown to three states and dozens of employees through a dedication to learning and a resolve toward success. Nicolet is proud of the growth he has achieved and is proudest of those who work alongside him to fight for the hardworking people of the Midwest.
“We will not stop growing and not stop fighting for those people,” Nicolet asserts, “because everyone that works here feels and understands that what we do is not only a job, but a calling to help, serve, and stand up for those that need it most.”
Nicolet has received numerous awards and accolades for his work. He has been recognized among the Top 40 under 40 Trial Lawyers and then the Top 100 Trial Lawyers by the National Trial Lawyers Association.
Additionally, Nicolet has been recognized as a SuperLawyer by SuperLawyers Magazine.
Nicolet aims to continue representing injured persons across the Midwest while holding insurance companies and large businesses accountable. He intends to grow Nicolet Law so that his practice might help more and more people, ensuring that hardworking people can overcome the misfortune of a personal injury.
