MATTHEW MCNICHOLAS
Partner
McNicholas & McNicholas, LLP
Matthew McNicholas’ work has impacted the inner workings of large and powerful agencies such as the Los Angeles Police Department. He has prevented illegal and coercive force that affects the lives of the public, law enforcement officers and firefighters and protected the livelihoods of good law enforcement officers and firefighters who have dedicated their lives to serving and protecting their communities.
It is notoriously difficult to uncover what goes on behind closed doors at many police and fire departments, but when plaintiffs want to hold their unethical employers accountable and create real change, they turn to McNicholas. As panel counsel to the Los Angeles Police Protective League and the United Firefighters of Los Angeles City, McNicholas’ tenacity and advocacy has lifted the veil on what really happens within police and fire departments, including the recent leak of undercover LAPD officers’ photographs (he represents over 600 undercover officers).
