Nachawati Law Group

Congratulations Nancy Hinojosa, our September 2024 Employee of the Month! Nancy has been with the firm since 2021. Starting with the asbestos department as a senior paralegal and investigator, her roles have expanded to include other dockets like sex abuse and hair relaxer, and general negligence cases. Always eager and willing to take on more responsibility, with the proven ability to do so, Nancy has been instrumental to the success of our team and client satisfaction. In her free time, Nancy enjoys spending time with her husband, Pete, their three dogs, and all the chickens, ducks, sheep, and goats they raise together on their farm. Nancy is the proud mother of four adult children, and four grandchildren, with another arriving later this year! We are so fortunate to have Nancy with us.

Happy Labor Day from Nachawati Law Group! We hope you enjoy the day!

Attorney Spotlight: Philip Carlson “Service to others has been the hallmark of my career. My work with the Public Entities Litigation Division allows me to continue to serve people in a much broader area than I’ve been able to so far. Our commitment to our public entity clients is to bring the best representation we can because we’ve been in your shoes. We know the challenges, and we know how to overcome them.” Phil Carlson is a Senior Attorney in the firm’s Public Entity Litigation Division. As a part of that Division, he represents state and local governments in affirmative civil litigation in the areas of consumer protection, public nuisance, environmental harms, and antitrust. Phil has over 15 years of experience, over 10 of that in the Attorney General space. He has extensive trial experience, and through his career has built deep relationships with the various State Attorney General Offices. Phil is the former Chief of the Consumer Protection Bureau in the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office where he was instrumental in establishing and leading the nationwide Attorney General investigation into social media platforms and the harms that they cause to children. He also helped to co-lead and negotiate the largest Attorney General privacy settlement to date regarding allegations that Google misrepresented certain facets of their location tracking services. This settlement netted the states significant injunctive relief and $391.5 Million. He and his staff also worked in the Consumer Protection, Charities, Antitrust, and Tobacco fields, leading antitrust enforcement efforts against Google and other entities during his time there. Phil started his career in private practice in Mitchell, SD where his practice was largely devoted to criminal defense and family law.

Attorney Spotlight: Bonan Wang Link "At NLG, I get to do my favorite part of practicing law—researching and writing about interesting legal issues—and help people at the same time. Win-win!" Bonan W. Link was born and raised in mainland China and arrived in the U.S. at age 11. She is the first one in her family to become an attorney, and despite English not being her native language, she learned quickly and was able to attend the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL, as a National Merit Scholar on a full scholarship. During her studies at the University of Houston Law Center, the school awarded her the Judge Mary Bacon Scholarship for Overcoming Adversity. Since the inception of her legal career, Link has fought on the side of personal-injury plaintiffs against individual and corporate negligence. She began practicing law in 2011, working for a plaintiffs’ personal-injury firm that’s almost a household name in Texas. During her tenure there, she handled hundreds of cases from beginning to end. Link then continued the good fight at a boutique plaintiffs’ toxic torts firm, protecting the rights of those who were injured as a result of companies putting profits over people. Link is also a concert-level pianist fluent in Mandarin Chinese and French.
