Meet the Team
Nicholas L. Ketterer
Nick founded Ketterer Law to deliver the high-quality representation that only years of legal experience can provide. He has built a broad command of drafting, negotiation, litigation, appellate work, and administrative procedure, bringing confident, practical counsel to every matter, big or small — whether assisting with business formation, negotiating a dispute in mediation, or advocating for clients at trial.
His approach is rooted in his work as a tradesman before law school. As a pipe fitter, Nick learned to attend to every small detail without losing sight of the big picture: delivering a quality result that accomplishes the client's goals. He earned his Juris Doctorate at Penn State Dickinson School of Law in Carlisle, PA, then clerked for the Honorable Shawn C. Wagner in the Court of Common Pleas in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania — an experience that deepened his appreciation for procedural rigor and the law's profound impact on those who come before the court.
Nick also holds a Master of Business Administration from UNC's Kenan-Flagler Business School, giving him the financial literacy and strategic perspective to guide clients through transactional, corporate, and complex legal matters.
M.B.A. · UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School
Consistently ranked among the nation's top business programs, Kenan-Flagler sharpened Nick's ability to analyze complex business problems and devise strategic, pragmatic solutions for clients across industries.
J.D. · Penn State Dickinson School of Law
One of America's oldest and most distinguished law schools, Penn State Dickinson provided Nick with a comprehensive legal education grounded in analytical rigor, advocacy, and professional ethics.
B.A. · Temple University, Philadelphia
Nick completed his undergraduate education at Temple University in Philadelphia, where he developed the intellectual curiosity and drive that would carry him through law school and beyond.
Nick resides on Maryland's Eastern Shore with his wife and daughter, and their Labrador retriever, Goose. The Eastern Shore's close-knit communities and distinct character are a constant reminder of why accessible, personal legal representation matters — values that sit at the heart of everything Ketterer Law does.
