Saved my behind!

Last year my license and registration lapsed. I was pulled over and received a court summons. Through my own lack of organization, I didn't respond or show up to my court date. Attorney Gordon happened to be in court that day and heard my case being called. He saw I wasn't there, so he stepped in, bo...ught me some time to get to court, called me and represented me once I got there. I paid a minor fine and was out the door. I don't know what would have happened if he didn't have the awareness to remember me and take the initiative to save my behind. But that's the kind of attorney and person he is and that is the kind of representation I want if I ever get in trouble again. Attorney Gordon will go out of his way to help you. He is my first choice when I need legal help and the first person I recommend to people I know who need it!

very professional, left me with no worries

I was falsely arrested for contributing alchohal to minors. Rather than take a deal, attorney Gordonfought my case to the end, and the state was forced to dismiss. He kept me in the loop at all times, and I was very happy with the outcome.

The Best of the Best!! Highly Recomended!!

After extensive research for the right Attorney I selected Attorney Nick Gordan to handle my case. From the time of our initial meeting I was extremely impressed with every aspect of his handling of my case from working very closely with me to help me understand how the law applied to my particular c...ase to being extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and trustworthy.... all the things you would hope for when hiring counsel. Throughout the entire duration of my ordeal he displayed the utmost professionalism balanced with a sincere caring for my well-being. His command of the law in his area of expertise was truly evident. He kept me COMPLETELY informed during this very stressful time. But what was most impressive was the manner in which he was able to skillfully execute, and achieved the best possible outcome. I witnessed, firsthand, the successful outcome of his guidance, good judgment, and untiring efforts to protect me and the elimination of anything whatsoever on my record! I couldn't have been more pleased with Nick Gordan. I have dealt with numerous attorneys over the years and I would say that Nick Gordan is by far the most impressive. I can honestly state that anyone choosing to have Nick Gordan handle their case should consider themselves truly lucky.

"I first met Nick approximately two years and have come to know him as a excellent resource in dealing with criminal law matters. I have referred several of my clients needing assistance to him for such matters as a DUI defense and sealing the court record where a youthful indiscretion from 20 years ago was impacting current employment. I know Nick to be a strong advocate for the clients that he takes on and am confident that he will serve you well."
