Nicole Rodriguez Van Dyk routinely excels in high-stakes, high-profile, and headline-grabbing litigation. Van Dyk’s most recent achievement is on behalf of the MLB team, Los Angeles Angels, regarding a dispute with the Department of Justice. A November 2021 Court Order criticized the government for its improper subpoena to the Angels and sided with Van Dyk’s declaration. She continues to be lead counsel for the Angels in all matters related to the death of pitcher Tyler Skaggs.
In July, Van Dyk successfully protected her client’s Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights in the highly publicized U.S. Private Vaults seizure when the Judge denied the government’s motion to dismiss the case. Representing over 30 individual clients, she is preventing the government from interfering with the property rights of box holders for whom the government had neither probable cause nor a valid warrant when they confiscated the property.
