About Niles

Formerly a practicing trial and appellate attorney, I retired from the law firm I co-founded to pursue my passion as a screenwriter. My years practicing law, trying cases and arguing appeals, as well as being on numerous boards and advisory committees, have provided ample, unique source material for my writing. While in college I played Division 1 and semi-professional baseball and was social chairman of a fraternity, all of which further contributed to the stories on my slate. I've recently completed two screenplays, both of which have won awards and numerous accolades.
