Misdemeanor Simple Assault

I was charged with misdemeanor simple assault and consulted Mr. Nash after he came as a recommendation from someone. He was always available to answer and questions I had about the case and to comfort me in times of stress. Although the case was delayed a few times, along with many others, due to the... pandemic, when it came down to it Mr. Nash was about to quickly get my case dismissed. We will now start the process of getting the charge expunged but I can honestly say I am so grateful to Mr. Nash for all of his work and highly recommend him.

Literally saved me from a criminal record

Meant to write this review about 18 months ago but never did, which is a shame because Mr. Nash truly deserves it! If the other reviews aren't enough to convince you, trust me; Michael Nash is the REAL DEAL! I was stopped in August 2019 for speeding on a highway in Greensboro and was cited under ...NC G.S. 20-141(J1) for doing almost 90 in a 70 and G.S. 20-7(A) for operating a motor vehicle on a highway without being licensed to drive by the state. Two misdemeanors! The second charge was especially surprising since I had no idea that my NY license was suspended! Fortunately, the officer told me it might just be a mistake or an unpaid fine and let me go, and I was able to get my license reinstated later that day. Though it was still quite stressful because I had never before been charged with a crime and didn't know what do. I didn't know how much an attorney would cost, and I had to return to school before my court date! I spent hours doing research, contacted multiple lawyers, one of which quoted me $500 and told me that nothing could be done about the speeding misdemeanor! Honestly I was starting to worry that some of these lawyers might be scams. But then I came across Michael Nash. I reached out, and we later spoke on the phone to discuss my case. He told me to focus on my studies and not to worry, especially if I'm choosing a "tough SOB" like him to represent me. He assured me that the no operator's license charge was an easy dismissal, but clarified that he likely would not be able to get the speeding charge dismissed. Even so, he was extremely confident in getting it reduced. And that's exactly what he did! No operator's license, DROPPED. Misdemeanor speeding, REDUCED to the equivalent of a citation for a broken taillight! "No insurance increase or points on your driving record. Your court costs are $283.00. Get that to my office and I will pay it for you." After seeing that text, I was more than happy to! And I didn't even have to fly back to North Carolina for my court date! All in all, I am very content with Mr. Nash's legal services. He's straightforward, his rates were very reasonable, and he fights tooth and nail for his clients! I absolutely recommend him. Honestly, how could I not? He saved me from having a criminal record!

Resisting Arrest and Discharging Firearm while intoxicated - dismissed

I was referred to Michael Nash when I got in big trouble. He handled my case, explained everything and got all charges dismissed, this is the lawyer you need!

Posted by Marc | October 27, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Had multiple cases dismissed. Our family attorney for all matters.

Mike Nash was very upfront and also very understanding of the situation we where going through with our daughter. He worked tirelessly to make sure her life wasn’t ruined by a stupid mistake. He doesn’t pull any punches and is very knowledgeable about addiction cases and how to get the best help. I ...would never use anyone else.

Felony Assault on a Law Officer Inflicting Serious Injury - Dismissed

An unfortunate incident happened to a very dear family member that resulted in a felony charge with potential for several years of imprisonment. Our loved one who was mentally ill had an interaction with a police officer who was trying to help him. Unfortunately, confusion ensued which led to t...he officer getting injured. This led to a felony charge. However, Mr. Nash’s outstanding legal representation led to the charges being dismissed. Furthermore, Mr. Nash was able to get our loved one the treatment he needed. We could not ask for a better outcome. Our only regret is that a police officer who was just doing his job to protect and serve was injured which can’t be undone. After the arrest, we were in a maelstrom of fear, confusion, paralysis. Never having faced anything like this in our lives, we had nothing to guide us. We had no idea of how to begin sorting through this nightmare. We turned to a trusted friend whose professional network gave inside knowledge of Mr. Nash’s skill and reputation as a criminal defense lawyer. We needed someone that we could trust with what was for us the most important battle of our lives!! At our first meeting with Mr. Nash, we were struck by the compassion and patience with which he listened to our problem. Not having any idea how or where to start, we gave Mr. Nash a chaotic narration of events, details, timelines, etc. We felt like there was no way that anyone can sort through the mire we were in. But to our surprise, he was able to neatly organize the facts of the case, sort through the layers and examine it through the pertinent legal lens. He immediately placed us on the path to a legal strategy and solution. He laid out a plan, gave it clarity so that we could see where our efforts should be directed. Mr. Nash took the time to get to know us as people with complicated lives, understanding that a client is more than the legal challenges they are faced with. He provided valuable guidance on matters outside the legal case as well, because he understood that the health of his client’s life goes beyond the court room. No question or concern was ever too small to get his full attention. Always accessible even on the weekends and late hours, Mr. Nash gave us undivided attention and dedication. He is a hands-on attorney. All the important details of the case were handled by him personally. We are forever grateful to Michael Nash. He gave us our lives back!

"Mike is "The Guy". He has a wonderful way with people that helps him accomplish things others might not. And when that does not work his years in the Navy make him a polished hard hitting SOB. I've sent many people to Mike over the years and have not heard one negative thing about his quality of service. If I ever had issues with the police of any kind Mike would be getting a call from me."
