Knew exactly what to do!
One of my family members got into some difficult trouble with the law, and I was referred to Nick by another attorney. We are so thankful that we met him! Nick put the legal team together, bringing in an expert in exactly the area of criminal law we needed, consulted with the team every step of the w...
Client was referred to us by her immigration attorney. She was arrested on federal charges related to unauthorized access to a military base. Since the client had a removal order pending, we could not take a chance on her coming into contact with the justice system since she would have been snatched up by ICE and deported (as a detainer was likely). We headed up the team comprised of a former military attorney, a former military physician and me. We convinced the U.S. Attorney to dismiss the charges without the client ever having to appear in court. She was spared prosecution, jail and removal from the United States. Another very gratifying result from a personal perspective.

I'm lucky to have had Nick Kaizer represent me..
Mr. Kaizer represented me during a traumatic personal injury case. Nick battled for me as if he was battling for his own son. I felt as if my uncle were handling the case. There was enormous comfort knowing Nick and his team at Levitt & Kaizer were always there if I needed them. I'm thrilled wi...
Thank you. It was a very difficult set of factual circumstances (civil claims intertwined with criminal charges) leading up to your injuries, but we ultimately obtained the greatest recovery possible. Our choice of forums (federal vs. state court) also led to a very speedy resolution of our claim. If the case were brought in state court, it would have taken 6 years to get trial ready instead of 6 months! All the best.
