This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Incredibly patient and honest

I called him because of two cases I had with traffic court. He actually said it might be better to just go to court and not hire an attorney based on what he was seeing. I wanted to be safe and went ahead and hired him because he was not pushy or telling me nonsense. He handled my first case incredib...ly smoothly and am going in front of the judge tomorrow for my second case. He has been patient, forthcoming, and not told me to shut up despite asking him a million questions because I am nervous as heck. He is well worth the cost to get your case handled well.

Concerned Parent

My son became hooked on drugs and got in to trouble with the law. This was very difficult for our family. I contacted Nick and was immediately comforted by his knowledge, professionalism, and compassion. In his representation of my son, it was obvious that Nick cared about both of us Nick worked hard... to get a sentence for my son that included a #1 drug rehab program.. If you want expert legal advice and someone who cares about you as a person, contact Nick Zissimopulos - you will be very glad that you did!!

Victory thanks to Nick Zissimopulos!

Nick Zissimopulos took my case of VOP at termination date due to restitution not being completely satisfied. Nick was straight forward about everything the State and Judge would be looking at. He was understanding of my circumstances that brought me to the VOP. His professionalism and character are ...well beyond extraordinary! He won my case, the probation was terminated with my balance becoming a civil matter. After 15 years of dealing with this, he obtained my freedom! I highly recommend him! Thank you Nick!!!
