Nicole M. Conger
A Calling Rooted in Light
In a world often overwhelmed by noise, division, and fear, Nicole Conger moves with a different frequency. Hers is a life guided not by opposition, but by devotion—an unwavering belief in humanity, healing, and love as active forces. For Nicole, the ancient struggle of darkness versus light is not an abstract concept. It is a daily choice. And her choice, again and again, is light.
That choice shapes everything she does—as a woman of faith, as a daughter, as a servant to her community, and yes, as an attorney. Law is not her identity; it is her instrument. Her purpose runs deeper, grounded in an immeasurable love for humanity and a conviction that presence itself can heal.
From Austin Roots to a Broader Horizon
Nicole’s professional journey began in Texas, where she earned her undergraduate degree Summa Cum Laude from the University of Texas at Austin, graduating in the top two percent of her class and completing a business management degree at the Red McCombs School of Business. She went on to receive her law degree Magna Cum Laude from the St. Mary’s University School of Law in 2011, later clerking for the Honorable Emilio M. Garza on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
Today, The Law Office of Nicole Conger, PLLC, marks more than eight years of practice. Though licensed and practicing in Texas, Nicole now resides in Los Angeles—where she speaks often of the kindness, generosity, and beauty she has experienced in her community. Her Austin roots remain firmly planted, but her vision has expanded, shaped by the people and places that continue to affirm her belief in human goodness.
Law as Service, Not Status
Nicole practices plaintiff-side employment and civil rights law, representing individuals across Texas who have experienced illegal treatment at the hands of employers. Her areas of focus include sexual harassment and assault, discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy, race, disability, religion, age, and violations involving medical leave. Yet, when Nicole speaks about her work, she does not lead with statutes or strategy. She speaks of listening. Of creating safety. Of bearing witness. Clients entrust her with the most vulnerable chapters of their lives—stories they may never have spoken aloud. For Nicole, being heard is not a legal step; it is the first moment of healing. She does not separate who she is as a lawyer from who she is as a human. She arrives with warmth, color, laughter, and authenticity, even in the hardest moments. In a profession that often rewards detachment, Nicole believes sincerity is radical—and necessary.
A Philosophy of Presence and Unity
At the heart of Nicole’s life is a simple, expansive philosophy: imagine how many people, places, and communities could heal because of your presence. Her firm is rooted in unity and what she calls “colorful love”—a love that refuses hierarchy, prejudice, or fear. She speaks openly of faith, of God and the heavens, and of healing as the foundation of all relationships and all humanity. Each day, she chooses to show up unmasked, believing that authenticity is what allows people to feel seen, tended to, and renewed. In her view, leadership demands courage—not just to speak truth, but to live it visibly.
Her Greatest Inspiration
Nicole’s deepest inspiration is her mother, who passed away in 2005. In her final days, as hospice came and went and Nicole lay beside her, her mother repeated a simple refrain: “Always continue your education. Keep going. I’m so proud of you.”
A special education teacher by calling and by heart, her mother modeled service without spectacle. Those final words became a compass. Nicole felt a sacred responsibility not only to continue learning, but to live in a way that honored the life and values her mother embodied. That devotion continues to guide how she serves, how she practices law, and how she loves the world.
A Legacy Measured in Light
Nicole does not measure success by accolades, though they have come—recognition from the Diversity Council for Top 50 Women in Law, Go Magazine’s 100 Women We Love, Super Lawyers Texas Rising Star, and honors from the International Association of Top Professionals, among others. What matters most to her is legacy. She hopes to be remembered as someone who gave all glory to God, whose service extended beyond professionalism, and who advanced human rights with intention. She wants to be known as someone who truly knew her community, became part of its fabric, and contributed daily—on purpose. Calm but brilliant. Untamed. Authentically herself.
A Letter That Carries the Light Forward
Dear Mommy,
As time passes without you, your presence is even more noticeable by all whose paths I cross. I kiss your picture multiple times daily because of missing you so badly. Aside from looking just like you, they tell me that I am your service-led heart. I share details on every beautiful] memory that you created for me, or the ways that you so effortlessly took steps for a better life for us, your students, and strangers.
Thank you again for giving me life, and an extraordinarily rare soul who keeps carrying out the more on my life. I find myself fearless, and even more empowered by God to stay in perfect alignment with Heaven and the Kingdom. Thank you for not making me slow on my calling. Thank you for giving me the courage and stamina to fight the good fight down here on earth, and for covering me with protections from Heaven. I am never alone because I have you with me. Thank you for being my cheerleader in school, in dance, in life. Thank you for every victory from attackers, and filling me to be the example of joy, a cheerful heart of changing the globe, and leaving the planet better than when I arrived. I would give anything to have you back for even five minutes to kiss you and laugh with you. Instead, I continue on the radiant path you set for me, because I know that Heaven is my home.
