Nick Rowley was born in Stormlake Iowa, raised in a small town called Jefferson, population 4,000.

Years after a brutal divorce and custody battle, and living between parents, Nick moved out on his own at age 15. He graduated from high school at age 16 and finished his Bachelor's Degree at age 19. Nick started law school at age twenty 20, graduated and passed the bar on the first attempt at age 24 and began arguing in Court at age 22 as a certified law student, which is allowed in California.

Nick has an extensive medical background. He joined the U.S. Air Force on his 17th birthday. Following in the footsteps of his stepfather Robert Stevenson who was a Navy Seal and Vietnam Veteran, Nick was set on being part of the military's special forces and enlisted as Pararescueman (special forces paramedic). After undergoing very tough physical training and qualifying physically Nick was disqualified from the special forces because he tested color blind at his flight physical. The Air Force thereafter trained Nick as a combat medic. Nick excelled as a medic working in the fields of oncology, pediatrics, obstetrics/gynecology, urgent care, and emergency medicine. He trained at Shepard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, TX, and was first stationed at Wilford Hall Medical Center in San Antonio Texas. Wilford Hall was the biggest Air Force Hospital in the world at the time. After being stationed in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and getting into trouble for underage drinking, Nick decided to use his military education credits and attend the University of North Dakota to accomplish a college degree. By age nineteen 19 Nick completed associate degrees in Allied Health Science, Psychology, and a bachelor's in Social Psychology. Nick almost completed a Masters Degree in Sociology at the University of North Dakota, but chose to start law school instead of writing the required thesis. While in graduate school, Nick served a total of three years' active duty, and then an additional three years in the Army Reserves.

Nick started his law career as a medical malpractice defense attorney. Realizing that he was really working for insurance companies, Nick felt guilty because of the injustices to which he found himself helping to support — because his work consisted of helping negligent doctors and their insurance companies dodge responsibility for hurting people, and sometimes killing people. "It disgusted me that most of the cases that came across my desk showed obvious malpractice, yet the insurance company refused to pay and demanded on pushing the case to trial. The jurors never even knew that our firm was hired and pushed by the insurance company and that the doctor was always a pawn". "It amazed me how the majority of cases either involved a doctor or nurse who was lying or an insurance company that refused to pay and motivated the doctor to lie and paid us to prove the lie as being the truth". "There was no way I could go home at night and look my kids in the eye being part of the medical malpractice defense industry".

Nick currently tries more civil jury trials than any other lawyer you can find. He is dedicated to fighting the insurance industry and only takes cases where the insurance company is the real defendant, where the defense attorney and defense expert witnesses are bought and paid for by the insurance company, where the defendant sitting in Court is not the real "target defendant" (though the jury never hears that the case is really about an insurance company refusing to pay). Nick asks juries for a lot of money because he believes that the only way to cure injustice and teach insurance companies a lesson is by making them pay every penny that is due, the true price of what his clients have lost. "I care about my clients, and the way they are often treated disgusts me. I have dedicated my life to standing up for people and being their warrior in battle against the insurance companies". "I will try any case anywhere against anyone if it involves an insurance company and insurance defense industry lawyer picking on a good person who deserves justice".

Currently, Nick resides in Iowa where he enjoys fly fishing and training bird dogs.

Nick's mother Joan is a medical transcriptionist in Decorah Iowa. His stepfather Robert manages the repair department at a company that manufacturers garbage trucks. His father Charles is an art teacher at Sierra Vista High School in Baldwin Park, California. His stepmother Lupita is a science teacher at a high school in Ontario, California. His sister Lisa is a starving art student at the University of Iowa. His Brother Tony is a respiratory therapist at UCLA, and medic in the Army Reserves. His sister Marie is a nurse in Waterloo, Iowa. His brother Sean is a sophmore in High School in Iowa. His sisters Christina and Karla are teenagers at a private christian school in Ontario, California.

Despite Nick's young appearance, he is known throughout the country as an accomplished trial lawyer. He is one of a few proud graduates of the Trial Lawyers College, and is an active member of Gerry Spence's (the founder of Trial Lawyers College) tribe. Nick believes that to be a great trial lawyer you need to throw out almost everything you learned in law school, take off the attorney hat and become a person again. You need to be 110% honest about everything. Rather than reading through depositions and medical records (which are often inaccurate or misleading), you learn more about your client by sitting at his kitchen table and breaking bread with his family — by becoming a part of that family. It is only by coming to truly know and care about your client that you can earn the right to ask a jury to do the same at the end of your case. Caring is contagious.
