Nicholas G. Kaizer

Retaining Mr Nick Kaizer for representation proved to be a wise decision. He conducts himself in a manner of true professionalism and practices without judgement. Faced with serious charges, Nick facilitated in acquiring the best possible outcome for my criminal case. His experience and expertise was... evident from the start. I was impressed with how effortlessly he accurately assessed the situation, and anticipated every possible obstacle. Nick's extensive knowledge of the law resulted in a deal that was more than fair, and far better than expected. He was empathetic and supportive on a personal level as well, and always went the distance for me. I have great respect for Nick, and would highly recommend his services.

I was facing up to 15 years in prison, and was petrified that i would be without my family and in bars. At my age, and the condition I was in, I would likely have died in prison if i was sentenced to the charges levied against me. I was stressed, frightened and knew nothing about New York, the syste...m or the process. I was recommended by my lawyers in Miami to NIcholas Kaizer and his partner Richard Leavitt. On the very first call, I felt that NIck understood the legal quagmire i had gotten myself into, was generous in his time with me on the phone, and most importantly his demeanor, compassion, and patience was exactly what I needed at this horrific time in my life. He settled me down, laid out a strategy and immediately began to assess my criminal case. I hired the firm that day. Its been a long awful process because of the situation I put myself in. My family suffered, and so did I. I cannot possibly describe adequately the utter fear and guilt I felt throughout the arrest and the awaiting of the result. Under Nick and Richard's guidance and behind the scenes negotiations, I ultimately plead guilty to a much much lesser charge and Nick secured a no jail time, no probation release and I just walked out of the courtroom this week a free man, never setting foot inside a New York jail. I enthusiastically recommend Nicholas Kaizer, a great man , attorney and person who quite literally saved my life, liberty and family

I had a civil problem stemming from a criminal problem - my business had a major burglary (6 figures) in 2007, and when some goods were recovered a year later, we were asked to ID them by the federal authorities, which we did, but they refused to return them to us, citing an ongoing criminal investi...gation. For the past 8 years we've tried to get our goods returned, without success. We were told that the authorities were not even prosecuting the perpetrators for our burglary but, rather, going after them for other, international, criminal activity, and yet, they refused to return our property. Finally, I turned to Nicholas Kaizer for help. I thought that his experience in federal criminal defense would be my best hope for recovering my property, and I was right. After just a few months of communications, Nick arranged for an accounting and the return of my property held by the FBI for 8 years. I am positive that his reputation, and that of his firm, was the only intervention that made this recovery possible. It happened so quickly, after 8 years of being stonewalled, that there is no other alternative explanation. I am so very grateful for Nick's help, and for the efforts of Levitt & Kaizer. It's been an amazing experience with a great result.

I was referred to Nicholas by a friend. As soon as I began working with him I knew he was the best lawyer to help me. He was attentive, listened well and he immediately offered strategies and suggestions that would improve my outcome. I have heard lawyers can forget about you, but that was never the ...case with him. He took the time to explain each step in the process. That knowledge helped me move forward with confidence. Nicholas has the skills any top lawyer should have, but it also helped that he was so well respected by the prosecutors. And I never felt like I was just a client. He had empathy for me, and I felt like this was personal for him. Last but not least he has integrity. Whenever he said he would do something, (send an email, call me, set a meeting, etc) he did it. He changed the game for me and my family. I can't recommend him enough.
