Practice Areas

Criminal Defense 25%

A charge does not have to mean a conviction. I will fight to get your charges dismissed or amended, ensure your constitutional rights are protected, and make certain the criminal justice system treats you fairly. Nick Mudd has tried dozens of FELONY LEVEL jury trials in his career. He is most well known and famous for his record setting "perfect streak" Winning Five (5) MURDER TRIALS In A Row In Four (4) Months beginning January 2016.

25%
Medical Malpractice 25%

Medical Malpractice is my other practice Area. I recently got the largest retained object verdict in the history of Kentucky when I convinced a jury to award my client $10.5 MILLION DOLLARS back in December of 2019, after a two week Jury Trial.

25%
DUI and DWI 15%

Add alcohol to any situation, and often there is legal trouble. Whether it's a charge of public intoxication, or violating the open container laws, no one wants an alcohol charge on their record. All of us have been in the position where we had a few drinks, drove home, and woke up the next morning saying to ourselves: “I really shouldn’t have drove home last night.” People make mistakes. And a DUI can ruin your career, your business, or your education. That’s why I am here to help you.

15%
Federal Crime 15%

Federal criminal cases are often very complex and highly sophisticated. You need someone on your side who has defended those cases...and won. Results matter. Period. I have the results to back up the talk. Whether you are charged with a white collar crime, drug trafficking, fraud, environmental crime, or other federal offense, please give me a call to make sure you get the best possible result for your case, period.

15%
White Collar Crime 10%

Fraud cases often involve good people who get lured in by the promise to catch up on their bills, help out family members, or even support a hidden addiction. The first 2 ½ years of Nick’s criminal prosecution was spent prosecuting fraud cases as a member of the Economic Crimes Unit. As an experienced prosecutor in the field, he has the knowledge to successfully defend fraud cases. He is one of only a handful attorney’s to have actually gone to trial on a fraud case...and win.

Has handled multiple cases for me

Nick Mudd had represented me in three legal situations, has also referred and personally is handling a matter that is not criminal defense. I have referred him for years now, He also has experience working with special prosecutors in many cases. With the connections and determination of mr. Mudd a di...scovery violation caused a soon to be trial into a dismissed minimum 10 year sentence and 20 year max. During the process I felt overwhelmed and realized I was in good hands. If you ever believe or know the police or state had done something wrong, stand up for yourself. Everyone has a right to due process, law is mr. Mudds art entirely satisfied and thankful.

Traffic Violation

Mr. Mudd handled my traffic violations and because of him the process ran smoother than I could have ever imagined. From the time I entered the court room I was in and out in under thirty minutes due to Mr. Mudd's swiftness and commitment to making me feel valued as a client. I plan on reaching out t...o Mr. Mudd in regard to any legal matter, no matter how big or how small from here on out.

Traffic violation / Accident

Mr. Mudd handled my grandson's traffic/accident violation case between a court date in Nov 2021 and a court date in Dec 2021. Mr. Mudd did an outstanding job with getting my grandson's case dismissed with knowledge it does involve my grandson needing to pass a Life Skills course among other restrict...ions to follow. We do highly recommend Mr. Nick Mudd. It was an honor to meet him and he well deserves 5 stars.

Kayla Rodgers - Traffic violation/Ticket

Nick was absolutely amazing, this was my first time needing an attorney and I was absolutely petrified. But Nick calmed my nerves and handled absolutely everything, he was easy to talk to and very prominent in his responses to me. I was very fortunate that someone had referred me to Nick!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
