Nicole Fegan, who defended a YSL member, now faces felony charges herself for allegedly aiding gang activity and distributing drugs.
Nicole Fegan, an Atlanta criminal defense attorney who represented a YSL defendant in the high-profile gang and racketeering case, was indicted Monday (July 21) in Fulton County on charges including drug trafficking and gang activity tied to her conduct during the trial.
Prosecutors allege Fegan used her role as legal counsel to aid criminal operations, including smuggling methamphetamine, oxycodone and marijuana to her incarcerated client, Tenquarius Mender, who is also charged in the indictment.
Fegan is also accused of working with one of Mender’s associates to deliver drugs and allegedly gave Mender Apple AirPods while he was in custody.
The indictment, announced July 21, claims Fegan tipped off a fugitive about key evidence, encouraged a gang member to destroy a phone and tried to obstruct a separate murder investigation by instructing a suspect to get rid of his cellphone.
Fegan, who founded Fegan Law, LLC, was arrested in February 2024 in connection with the fatal shooting case and released on a $40,000 bond.
