About E. Steven Nichols

E. Steven Nichols is a trial attorney with Saiontz & Kirk, P.A., where he carries forward the firm's half-century tradition of standing up for injured people and their families across Maryland. For 50 years, Saiontz & Kirk has been a name that injury victims trust, recovering more than $1.3 billion on behalf of clients, and Steven brings that same fighting spirit and dedication to every case he handles.

Steven is a courtroom advocate in the truest sense, willing to take a case all the way to trial when an insurance company refuses to treat a client fairly. That tenacity has produced real results for the people he represents. In one notable case, he secured a jury verdict of more than $1.2 million for two HVAC technicians who suffered serious injuries when a wooden box being lifted by a forklift collapsed, sending them falling roughly 20 feet to the ground. After a hard-fought trial in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, the jury delivered justice to two hardworking men whose lives had been turned upside down, a powerful example of what determined, well-prepared advocacy can accomplish.

His practice centers on the people who need help most: those hurt in serious accidents, on the job, and through the carelessness of others. Steven understands that a catastrophic injury affects not just a person's health but their livelihood, their family, and their future, and he approaches each client with the compassion and personal attention that have defined Saiontz & Kirk for generations.

Like the firm he represents, Steven works on a simple, client-first promise: there are no fees or expenses unless he wins. That commitment reflects his belief that every injured person deserves a strong advocate, regardless of their financial situation. For Marylanders facing the aftermath of a serious accident, E. Steven Nichols is a determined trial lawyer ready to fight for the full and fair compensation they deserve.
