Nicole L. Cannon

Nicole L. Cannon has been practicing law since 1998. For over 11 years, she was a deputy prosecuting attorney, then prosecuting attorney, in Minidoka County, Idaho. During this time, her primary area of emphasis was criminal prosecution, during which she gained extensive courtroom and trial experience. She specialized in the prosecution of child sexual offenses, drug offenses and DUIs. She trained law enforcement officers regarding legal matters. Ms. Cannon was also heavily involved in civil work for the county, including planning and zoning, personnel issues, administration, and advising the county commissioners and other elected officials on legal matters.

After leaving public office, Ms. Cannon joined the law firm of Powers Tolman in January 2009. She currently handles cases involving medical malpractice, product liability, commercial liability and general liability (casualty and personal injury).
