    Nicholas Wooldridge

    • LV Criminal Defense
    Biography

    Nicholas Wooldridge is Las Vegas’ premier defense attorney that has traveled both the interstates and backroads of American jurisprudence. It’s a journey which began in the concrete jungles of New York City where he successfully provided advice and counsel in the case related to Boston Marathon Bomber trial .

    At the pinnacle of “Sin City†justice. Mr. Wooldridge has etched a niche for himself among the pantheon of defense attorneys. More engaged in ascertaining the truth than career building, he has championed everyone from local pickpockets to internationally wanted cyberhackers. No case is too big, or too small, for which Mr. Wooldridge is willing to work

    In serving clients, Wooldridge's noticeable attitude is acceptance. No one is judged based on what they allegedly did. Mr. Wooldridge knows the concept that sometimes good people make mistakes and often people are completely innocent as they get caught up in the net of overzealous law enforcement.

    America's Constitution was written to make sure America would not become a government which oppressed the poor, and the weak. Mr. Wooldridge stands as the ultimate bulwark between an overzealous authority, a legal system which too often lives within the limits of its bubble and American
