Highly Recommend

Mr. Chotos helped me with an outstanding warrant from many years ago. He was able to completely resolve the issue so that there is no longer a warrant and my probation was terminated. I am very grateful and high recommend him.

Outstanding Attorney

I was arrested and charged with third degree felony criminal mischief for something I didn’t do. The state attorney’s office in Broward county issued the arrest warrant without even having looked at the evidence, which in my case was a surveillance video, and photos. Had they done so, they would have... seen that the person who made the complaint lied, and that they didn’t have a case. Nick Chotos got the charges dropped, and I am eternally grateful for his efforts. He is an outstanding attorney, and I highly recommend him to anyone facing the same dilemma.

Great attorney.

Mr. Chotos esquire is a phenomenal attorney. He has very open lines of communication and a vast wealth of knowledge of the Broward county criminal justice system. He was appointed to my case after I had gone through a number of different lawyers who made no qualms about their personal lack of conce...rn on the outcome of my case. I am grateful my case fell under his care and I have no doubt that he will play a pivotal role in the public defenders office and go on to even greater things in his career.
