Overview
I highly recommend Nick Brown. When Nick came on board, it changed the tide of my case. He far exceeded my expectations, and even more so, he far exceeded the expectations of our opponent. He was my secret weapon. - Dr. Michael Jones, President, American Academy of Health, Fitness & Rehabilitation Professionals (former client)
