Nick Smith
- Statement: I developed a passion for public service and government early in life. I served as my high school's student body president and as captain of the football team. I moved from the San Joaquin Valley to the Central Coast to attend UC Santa Barbara where I earned a B.A., with honors, in Political Science.
- After earning my law degree at UC College of the Law, I served for seven years as a Deputy District Attorney where I handled a variety of criminal matters, with an emphasis in domestic violence, sexual assault, and crimes involving vulnerable victims.
- After moving to Pacific Grove over 10 years ago, I have practiced civil litigation, helping individuals, families, local businesses, and public agencies on the Monterey Peninsula resolve conflicts and solve problems. I have successfully defended numerous lawsuits brought against both local businesses and cities.
- After practicing with several top-tier law firms in Monterey County, I recently opened my own law office in Monterey where I continue to practice. I am a board member on the Monterey County Bar Foundation working on access to justice endeavors for members of the community.
