Posted by anonymous | August 11, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

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.

"I had the opportunity to know Nick since we were in law school. He is undoubtedly one of the smartest and funniest lawyers I know. We also worked together at the Broward Public Defender's Office and he quickly made a name for himself as one of the best young attorneys with the office. I recommend Nick as the right lawyer for you."
