Nick joined the Jacobson Law Group in 2019 after serving 7 years in the Minnesota House of Representatives. Prior to serving in the Legislature, he served 6 years on the Elk River City Council. His time at the local level, as well as his 7 years in the House of Representatives, gives Nick a unique, well-rounded, and broad perspective on all aspects of government.

In his time at the legislature, Nick grew to be one of the foremost experts in the areas of public safety, corrections, and especially health and human services. His commitment, knowledge, tenacity, ability to negotiate with respect, and build personal relationships earned him high praise from his fellow legislators. That approach gave him unmatched success passing legislation in a bi-partisan manner, either as a member of the majority or the minority. Nick was routinely identified as one of the most productive members of the House of Representatives passing dozens of bills each session.
