About
I attended law school on full scholarship at the William S. Boyd School of Law at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I graduated magna cum laude and have been licensed to practice law in Nevada since 2010. Since becoming an attorney, I have only worked in the area of family law. I have over six years of experience working in the Family Division of the Second Judicial District Court, including several years as a member of the Court’s forms committee.My areas of experience in private practice include: divorce, custody, paternity, domestic violence, child support, relocation, guardianships (both adult and children), termination of parental rights, prenuptial agreements, and adoptions. I am also familiar with several practice areas which are less common, such as minor name changes, emancipation, registration of out-of-state orders, and minor marriages.I am a member of the Family Law Section of the State Bar. I have presented several times at the annual Nevada Family Law Conference.I am a Reno native, and because Nevada has always been my home, serving the people of this community is an especially rewarding part of my work. I attended Reno High School and went on to graduate with high distinction from the University of Nevada Reno, with a dual major in Political Science and Women’s Studies. Prior to attending law school, I worked for years in local law firms, primarily firms specializing in family law.My approach with my clients is to see the big picture and keep it real (even when doing so results in their spending less money on my fee). I don’t procrastinate, and I strive for work which is both excellent and efficient.My practice of family law is informed by my own life experiences, just as much as it is informed by my studies and work history. My parents went through lengthy divorce litigation when I was young. Being involved in court proceedings and court-ordered family counseling were my first interactions with the legal system. As a result, I relate with the children and families in these cases on a deep, personal level. While I can’t promise specific outcomes, my goal for my clients is to make navigating the legal system much less scary and confusing, and approach each case with compassion, thoughtfulness, and honesty.Family law brings the lawyer face to face with some of the hardest moments of people’s lives. However, this work touches the most precious parts of people’s lives. To that end, my hope is to approach each case with the right intent, and always strive for work in which I (and the client) can be proud.I enjoy running, reading and cooking. My passions are fashion and music. My greatest joy is my child.

Nicole is the complete package deal! Having never been to court in a custody battle I was very nervous at first. When we had our first consultation Nicole made me feel at ease and knowledgeable about the entire situation that was ahead of me. After that it was a no brainer as to who I wanted in my corner during this stressful time in my life. Nicole not only was very professional but on top of everything from the very beginning to the final days leading up to court. That being said she really opened my eyes to many things that I was unaware of that were unfair in my case as well as options that were available to me in my particular situation. My case didn’t even go to the courts and was resolved by her outstanding presence both in person and in her hard work and due diligence in my case. The outcome was even better than I expected and all my thanks and praises go to not only Nicole but her amazing staff! Thank you again Nicole for all of the straightforwardness and passion that you put into my situation and for the final outcome!
If your looking for a family lawyer look no further Widdis and White is the law firm you want in your corner. Nicole represented me during my divorce and custody battle. Best choice I could have made. She’s classy but don’t be fooled she fights for you all the way thru. She’s not the type of lawyer that sugar coats anything upfront and forward when it comes down to the case in hand. She’s always prepared and sincerely takes her time with each case ( works on her weekends). I can honestly say every time I walked into the office I felt everyone’s support. They all made me feel safe and at ease. I typically do not leave reviews but in this case I felt the need to share this amazing law firm I highly recommend them Nicole is absolutely an amazing lawyer.
I hired Nicole with literally 72 hrs until a court hearing with my ex who i share 50-50 everything with regarding kids In which she had us prevail on a multitude of issues due to her diligence and knowledge of modern day family law.Not only did she prepare all appropriate documentation ,she prepared me as what to expect. I feel she over delivered by leaps and bound regarding getting many corrections done to my financial situation with my ex and bring to light her vindictive nature to the judge in a tactful manner.All this was done at a reasonable fee , with explanation in detail of all charges.I would like to think my days in court are over, but i doubt it and know that i can count on Nicole's excellent representation !
Fabulous, thorough, and unbelievably knowledgeable in her field. She took care of my divorce with children and not only took most the stress off my shoulders, but legitimately got me every single thing I requested, including primary custody, child support, and alimony. So impressed with her thoroughness and even more impressed with the outcome.
