Attorney Profile

	Nichole M. Cotton, Esq., MBM

Attorney Nichole M. Cotton, Principal and Founding member of The Cotton Law Firm, PLLC followed her passion and exercised her faith when she established her law firm. The number of satisfied clients grew and business soon demanded a second office location.

Prior to law school, Attorney Nichole M. Cotton worked and lived in the Atlanta, Georgia Metro area. She had an established career in both the healthcare and automobile insurance industries.  She followed her passion and decided to pursue her lifelong dream to attend law school. She relocated to North Carolina to attend North Carolina Central School of Law and graduated from the Evening Program. She worked tirelessly as an associate for Blue Cross and Blue Shield financing her legal studies while attending law school.

Attorney Nichole M. Cotton transitioned well into her second career when she began her legal career as a Staff Attorney with North Carolina Legal Aid in the Fayetteville office. While working in her first legal position she primarily worked as a domestic violence advocate and gained experience in consumer law, mortgage foreclosure, bankruptcy,  family law and unemployment appeals. Her experience also includes small claims actions, housing matters, and social security claims.

In 2010 Attorney Nichole M. Cotton made the most of her Masters in Business Management when she established her law firm in Lumberton, North Carolina. Next, Nichole expanded the law practice into Cumberland County, where she is a resident, active member in the local community and serves in her local church.

When Nichole is not practicing law, she enjoys spending time with her family in South Carolina, participating in church related activities at Covenant Love and working out at the gym with her personal trainer.
