Great lawyer if you need one!

I had some serious charges and Nick helped get the case dismissed and dropped. He’s a great lawyer if you need one. He responds in a timely manner and you will always be on the same page as him regarding your case and he will guide you through it. Good luck if reading this and call Nick!

My Oui Trial

Nick did a fantastic job!!!!! He cross examined the State trooper and had him trip in his words.He also pointed out all of the key facts in my case.And when it came to the body camera he had the DA and the Trooper eat there own words!!!! I highly recommend Nick to anyone who is in need....

Compassionate Attorney

Nick represented me in a criminal case, he was the only attorney whom ever really listened and seeked the best outcome for me. He is very thorough and really has his clients best interest. Not only that, he makes you feel very comfortable and gives you the respect of being a being, and not like yo...u're just a number as some attorneys do. Needless to say we won our case for the most part. I am completely satisfied with the outcome! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NICK for hire! Thank you Nick!!! A.M.

Very Professional Lawyer who works for his client

Attorney Nicholas Sylvia really helped me with my legal matter. He took the time to research my case and found little known case law that resulted in a dismissal of the charges. Alot of other attorneys would have probably wanted to just cut a plea deal, but once I explained the situation fully, he ...was 100 percent on my side. Definitely listens and works for his clients.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
