MATTHEW McNICHOLAS

Partner McNicholas & McNicholas, LLP

Matthew McNicholas with McNicholas & McNicholas has impacted the inner workings of large and powerful agencies like the Los Angeles Police Department; 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.

As panel counsel to the Los Angeles Police Protective League and the United Firefighters of Los Angeles City, McNichols’ tenacity and advocacy has lifted the veil on what really happens within police and fire departments. He has held dozens of California departments accountable for misconduct, corruption, and discrimination, empowering employees to come forward to make their departments better places to work and therefore making the public safer. His cases don’t simply result in significant verdicts and settlements; they are catalysts for institutional change.
