Nick Liermann, Esq.

Nick is one of Philadelphia’s premier trial attorneys. Standing up for the voiceless, he has tried hundreds of cases to verdict over nearly 15 years as an attorney in PA, NJ, and the United States Army. Nick honed his skills in the courtroom as a prosecutor with the Homicide Division of the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office. While trying dozens of murder cases, his care for victims and empathy for their trauma drove Nick’s relentless pursuit of justice at every level.

Nick’s unmatched attention to detail, work ethic and skills in the courtroom have allowed him to be successful, even when taking on the most challenging and serious cases.

Nick has since expanded beyond the criminal courtroom and now focuses his practice on individuals who have been hurt, disabled, injured or charge with a crime. He specializes in workers’ compensation, personal injury and criminal defense representation. Nick has successfully represented thousands of people injured on the job, in accidents and at the hands of others. Ensuring these victims receive the compensation and standing up for injured and disabled individuals against systems designed against them is paramount.
