Nichole Hanscom Email & Phone Number

I can get really geeky about business processes, tech tools, employee development, and business planning. Having been an "intrepreneur" and entrepreneur for more than two decades, I know that these things are the special sauce that can make or break your bottom line...and your spirit. I put my operations, admin, and legal experience to work to help small business and law firm owners with operations management and administrative services. I help build radical, people-helping, money-making machines. After graduating from college, I was a legal administrator at the Public Defender’s Office in Tampa for more than fifteen years where I did everything...except practice law. I designed websites and annual reports, tested new technology, trained new employees, helped design time-keeping systems and case management systems, and produced the metrics that helped supervisors understand how to balance people and processes in the largest criminal defense firm in Tampa (and the 4th largest in Florida), with more than 200 employees and 60,000 incoming cases every year. Along the way, I finished a Masters in Organizational Management. When I started law school, I was also supervising more than forty legal secretaries and data entry clerks. After law school, I gained legal experience by working on the defense team with the Public Defender and supervisory attorneys on complex cases, and handling the office’s in-house operations and legal needs. I was a member of the Board of Directors of the Florida Public Defender Association, and served as Chair of the Office Administration Committee where I was involved with the Association’s legislative efforts and represented Florida’s Public Defenders on the Florida Courts Technology Commission. I also consulted with organizations on issues human resources, public records, records management, corporate governance, technology, and attorney professionalism. My resume' is available for download, if you want the nitty-gritty details.

Listed skills include Courts, Legal Research, Legal Writing, Project Planning, and 39 others.
