Nicole Occhipinti is a personal injury attorney at Altman Nussbaum Shunnarah's Hanover office, bringing eight years of experience and a fierce dedication to her clients. Nicole focuses on tort law, handling motor vehicle accidents and slip and fall cases, and has secured notable results including a $250,000 MVA settlement and premises liability recoveries of $250,000 and $325,000. She has been recognized by the National Trial Lawyers as a Civil Plaintiff Top 40 Under 40 attorney in Massachusetts three years in a row.
Nicole's approach is transparent and determined. She has her clients' best interests at heart, and her background is unlike most in her field — before becoming an attorney, Nicole spent ten years working in the service industry as a bartender. That experience taught her how to work hard and connect with people from all walks of life, a skill she brings to every client relationship. Her team checks in on clients every few weeks throughout their case, and Nicole informally mentors younger attorneys on how to work personal injury cases from the ground up.
Nicole earned her Bachelor's in Psychology (with a minor in Philosophy) from Suffolk University in 2012, and her Juris Doctor from Suffolk University Law School in 2016, earning her Massachusetts bar admission in 2017. A Holbrook, Massachusetts native, Nicole has wanted to be a lawyer since age 13. She loves attending Boston sports games, traveling to new destinations each year with her husband, and is now looking forward to bringing her son along on those adventures.
