Great Experience

I went to attorney Nick Vidoni in Cocoa, FL with a false construction lien that was filed against a property I’m inheriting through probate. I was overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start. He sat down with me, went through every detail, and immediately started finding things that didn’t add up, inc...luding fraud. Because of him, this is now being handled on both the civil and the criminal side. We are working with law enforcement, and he is handling the civil aspect. I would not have gotten this far without his attention to detail. I highly recommend him, even if all you need is a paid consultation. Sit down with him, explain your situation, and let him review the paperwork. He catches loose threads other people miss. On top of that, he was respectful, organized, and helped calm my anxiety in a situation that has been extremely stressful for my family. We will continue working with him on the civil side of this case and will update his review as everything plays out.

Waste of Money and Time

Hired Mr. Vidoni in my case and during covid time, hearings were mostly done online via teams. He attended 2 hearings of my case and I dialed-in to listen. Both of those hearings he was not prepared resulting to the judgement favored to the other side. He often uttered a filling word when he don't kn...ow what to say next and stuttered a bit. He started to charge a reasonable rate during the initial intake of the case and suddenly increase his rate as he claim the case is getting complicated and I'm getting trapped as the case has already dragged and he has all the details. Overall, hiring him is a waste of money. Very poor representation, lack of preparation in court hearings and incompetent.

Since this comment is anonymous, I do not know whether this review is by a former client or an opposing party. Based on the information provided, I believe that this person is not a former client. I have never increased my hourly rate unilaterally without client consent. The facts described by this person do not appear to be facts that have ever occurred.

Deserves a Legal Gold Medal!

Not knowing much on legal issues and trying to deal with a neighbor attempting to scam my elderly mother out of a piece of her property. Nick was recommended to us. Nick's level of knowledge and experience fused together with his listening skills and responsiveness. Made it easy to comprehend what... was required to go to court. I was impressed by his analytical skills - from all points of view and his diligent research. His detailed communication helped us organize the information needed to present. While his convincing court 'speaking skills' helped win the case. Only Lawyer to call! Thank you for saving me and my family!

DO NOT HIRE Nicholas Vidoni

Do not hire Nicholas Vidoni. He overcharge for his overly research time with no positive results. He is not good in trial either. He always say ahhh as a filler words. He will drag your case to collect more money. I made a big mistake to hire him. Do not make the same mistake. Do not hire nicholas vi...doni.

Because this comment is anonymous, I do not know if this is a comment from a client or an opposing party. Based upon Florida Bar Rules, no attorney can guarantee any result. This is because even in cases based upon good law and good facts in the client's favor, judges and juries can make mistakes, or even disagree with the lawyer's interpretations of events. For example, cases get reversed on appeal all of the time because judges or juries made the wrong decision. Costs to litigate or conduct research are not entirely dependent upon me. Litigation always involves at least two parties. If the other side puts up a fight, we need to fight back. Typically, if I do not fight back, the chance of my client's success goes down. If an issue is important enough to litigate, it is important to present the law to the judge that supports the action. This involves research. Depending upon the issues presented in the case and the issues raised by the other side, more research may be needed. Typically, lawyers who do the work to prepare the case correctly and research the law have a better shot at obtaining favorable results than those who do not. My firm does not do empty work just to collect more money. We are a busy firm with limited resources on time. I only have time to bill for work that the case requires, and I comply with the Florida Bar ethical rules to charge a reasonable fee for my services.

A flexible, fighting legal genius

Nick is an amazing lawyer. Nick will answer or return your call the same day, and generally have an answer to your questions. Not only that he comes up with legal strategies that are amazing and work. In my case the opposition attorney just kept on asking for continuances in that Nick blocked hi...m at every turn. Don't waste your time and money on a paper pusher that just wants to get paid and settle the case quickly. Nick wins.
