About

Who I Am

Subheader here

I’m Nick Kowalski, the founding attorney at Kowalski Law PLLC. I started this firm because I’ve seen firsthand how the right legal guidance can help companies grow and give individuals peace of mind about their future.

Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to work in diverse legal environments—from courtrooms to corporate counsel roles to my own practice. I’ve advised businesses on day-to-day operations and helped people plan for what matters most. Along the way, I’ve learned that the best legal solutions come from truly understanding my clients’ goals.

Why I Do This Work

Subheader here

Laws can be confusing. You shouldn’t feel bad if you’ve ever read one and wondered what it meant or how it applied to your situation. That’s where I come in.

I help you figure out the law and what it means for you. It’s problem-solving at its core—something I genuinely love to do (I’m a big puzzle and strategy game guy). Whether it’s contracts, employment issues, compliance challenges, or estate planning, I bring a practical, down-to-earth approach to every engagement.

My Background

Subheader here

Before launching Kowalski Law, I spent nearly six years as in-house counsel at a software company, where I advised leadership on operations, compliance, contracts, human resources, data privacy, and cybersecurity.

Prior to that, I practiced business and real estate law at a regional firm, served as a Staff Attorney for a Common Pleas Court judge, and ran my first solo practice from 2013 to 2017.

Beyond the Law

I’m active in my community. I’ve served as a poll worker—and now Troubleshooter (polling location manager)—in Kenton County, Kentucky since 2020. I coach youth soccer and participate on the Steering Committee for the Cincinnati Bar Association’s Lawyers Connecting Beyond the Law initiative.  I also serve on the board of Healthy Visions, which helps kids with issues beyond the classroom.

I’m also a part-time podcaster. You can check out my podcast, K-Wal Cast, where I chat with people in my life.

My Philosophy

I believe in making a positive impact in my community and in the organizations I serve. I’m curious, enjoy tackling hard problems head-on, and while I’m capable of handling most challenges independently, I prefer to collaborate. It’s more fun—and more fulfilling—when we succeed together.

I value integrity, belonging, and connection. If those values resonate with you, let’s work together.
