McNicholas & McNicholas, LLP has represented, and continues to represent, high profile and complex wage earners in a variety of personal matters. These have included musical talent who suffered catastrophic injury in a plane crash, screen talent whose likeness was misused by a corporate partner, "success fee" commissioned individuals working in high-end financials who failed to receive their commission, and high level "employees" in Fortune 500 companies dealing with their employer.

The unifying factor among these cases is that each client presented unique income data that was significant to the resolution of their cases. In other words, they made their living in ways that made it more difficult to predict their income into the future, yet their future income scenarios were critical to their cases. McNicholas & McNicholas, LLP was able to bring its experience to bear on this issue, as well as the other case related issues, in bringing the clients' cases to successful resolution.
