Experience

During that time, he served as an intern to the Honorable Elizabeth A. Kovachevich at the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division.

Following his degree, he then worked for a prestigious law firm representing individuals with a variety of litigation concerns. Now, Nick has joined the Johnson Pope family with the intent to use his diverse skillset to aid businesses and individuals with all their needs.
