YSL Lawyer Nicole Fegan Indicted for Alleged Role in Gang Drug Ring

In a bizarre turn in an already closely watched YSL racketeering case, a courtroom defense for one of its members is now being led by a defendant who is also a member of the YSL. Nicole Fegan, the flashy attorney who gained some notoriety representing Tenquarius Mender, one of the central figures in the explosive YSL indictment, found herself indicted in Fulton County on a long list of serious allegations, among which are drug trafficking and criminal street gang participation.

During the trial over YSL, a case similar to the one that’s been putting rapper Young Thug and his people under heavy fire for alleged gang activity, prosecutors claim Fegan crossed the line from representation to illegal collaboration. Fegan abused her powers as an attorney to sneak meth, oxycodone, and marijuana inside jail for her nap access to justice conference display booth for Mender, who was a client of hers, the indictment reads.

She also gave Mender a pair of Apple AirPod headphones while he was in custody, and worked with one of Mender’s associates outside the courtroom in a bid to traffic drugs, authorities said. Even more troubling, the indictment alleges that Fegan provided a fugitive with a heads-up about evidence, advised a member of a gang to dump a phone, and obstructed a different murder inquiry by directing a suspect to jettison his cellphone.

The charges date back more than two years, smack in the middle of her YSL trial, and were accompanied by a multi-count indictment that reads like a blockbuster legal thriller. The charges include: trafficking meth; intent to distribute a Schedule II narcotic; unlawful possession of marijuana; gang activity via Georgia’s Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act; and solicitation to tamper with evidence.

Fegan, the head of Fegan Law, LLC, was secretly arrested in February 2024 in connection with the investigation into the fatal shooting that looks connected to the same web of activity. She was later released on a $40,000 bond and has remained relatively quiet until now.

Her lawyer, Drew Findling, the dynamic personality known for defending an earlier wave of crack defendants, did not hesitate to challenge the indictment, calling it a “travesty.”

“Nicole Fegan is a warrior trial attorney whom her colleagues highly respect,” Findling said in a firm statement. “These are charges related to conduct that is alleged to have occurred two and a half years ago during the YSL trial in which Ms. Fegan represented her client vigorously, nothing more. We are eager to fight these false accusations.’

Although serious allegations are at issue, as of July 2025, Fegan is in good standing with the Georgia State Bar and has a clean disciplinary record. That fact alone has drawn suspicion and muddied public perception. Is this an attorney going the extra mile for a client, who points out in affidavits that the client would have committed any crime, not the counsel, or someone muddying the line between defense and crime?

As the legal theater continues to play out, one thing appears certain: in a case already full of high drama, the new indictment adds a staggering new chapter this time, from the other side of the bench.
