Nick Oberheiden High Ethics

What is the highest accomplishment a lawyer can earn? Exactly, when the other side hires you when they need legal advice.

Go-To Lawyer. Dr. Nick Oberheiden has advised branches of the U.S. government and represented government officials, diplomats, Ivy-league academics, current federal prosecutors, FBI agents, IRS agents, DEA agents, and a plethora of fellow lawyers. In fact, just recently he had the honor to serve as legal advisor to the U.S. Department of State and the Office of Inspector General.

Government Clients. Few lawyers can say that they offer such a legal knowledge and fitting reputation to advise a branch of the United States government. Few lawyers can say that they have represented government officials like a sitting U.S. governor, a U.S. Attorney—and were hired to assist a team of lawyers representing a current Attorney General.

Testimonials. These public servants, decorated officials, and peers choose Nick because they know he is a square, principled, professional, and upstanding attorney—not a self-described legal Rambo. Verified clients from across the United States have said this publicly about Dr. Nick Oberheiden:

• “1^st class service.”
• “Uncompromising client commitment.”
• “Superb lawyer with exceptional skills.”
• “Brilliant.” “Mesmerizing.” “Simply the best.”

Fairness & Efficiency in Litigation. Opposing prosecutors, on record, have praised Nick Oberheiden for his collegiality, ethics, and professionalism. Federal judges have called Nick “a recognized expert” and a “very eloquent” presenter. Indeed, collegiality and professionalism are cardinal elements of Nick’s approach. And, importantly, in Nick’s legal philosophy they are not mutually exclusive to determined, zealous lawyering. Even in highly contested cases, trials, and litigation proceedings, Nick always respects differing opinions, and he does not circumvent his ethical mandates to accomplish litigation goals.

His special interest lies in French philosophy (Camus, Houellebecq), German literature (Kafka, Arendt, Nietzsche, Schnitzler), and Carl Gustav Jung’s approach to analytical psychology.
