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.

The best in town!!!!

I was referred to Nick Mudd by several family friends. Heard of how he’s helped them in some pretty messed up situations. Reached out to him and he responded back right away. He’s extremely knowledgeable, honest, quick and easy to talk to. He always kept me updated & responded to all my calls and me...ssages within seconds. If I ever need a lawyer again, (praying I don’t) Nick Mudd will be the only lawyer I will call and I will refer him to anybody that may need his help.

The truth about Nick Mudd

I WAS REFERRED TO NICK FROM A GOOD FRIEND. THIS FRIEND HELPED ME AND MY FAMILY THAT DAY. THROUGH A LENGTHY PROCESS AND GREAT COUNCIL IM ABLE TO TYPE THIS REVIEW FROM MY HOME. I FACED DOUBLE DIGIT FELONIES ON TOP OF BEING A SIX TIME CONVICTED FELON. I WAS COUGHT RED HANDED, NO DENYING GUILT TO A COU...PLE CHARGES. FACING TEN FLAT WITH NO WAY OF BEATING A CHARGE I KNEW A PD WAS NOT BEST OPTION. A SURE PRISON SENTENCE WAS MY DESTINY. MR.MUDD TOOK MY CASE AS A FAVOR FOR A MUTUAL FRIEND. HE WAS HONEST FROM THE START, HE DOUBTED ME AT FIRST. HE HIMSELF DIDNT THINK I COULD PULL MY WEIGHT AND DO THE NECCESARY STEPS REQUIRED TO AVOID SENTENCEING. HE SOON WITNESSED MY SINCERITY AND BEGAN TO BELIEVE IN ME. I STARTED BELIEVING IN MYSELF ASWELL. I TRUSTED MR.MUDD AND DIDN'T WANT TO LET HIM DOWN, NOR MY FAMILY. I STARTED TO BELIEVE IN MY CHANCES OF WALKING OUT OF THE COURT ROOM FROM THIS CASE. I DID WITH NICK'S RECOMENDATION. NOT ONLY DID I RESPECT MR.MUDD THE ENTIRE JUDICIAL SYSTEM, PROSECUTORS, JUDGES AND COLLEAGUES DO ALSO. HE VOUCHED FOR ME AND STUCK HIS NECK OUT FOR ME. HE USED HIS GOOD NAME AND DEFENDED MY CHARACTER. ON PAPER IM JUST CRIMINAL ONCE AGAIN IN TROUBLE JAMMING UP THE COURTS AND TAX DOLLARS. IN PERSON IM A GOOD MAN WHO BATTLES ADDICTION AND THE POOR DECISION MAKING THAT GOES WITH IT. NICK SAW A GOOD MAN AND HELPED THE PROSECUTER AND THE JUDGE SEE PAST THE BLACK AND WHITE AND PORTRAY ME AS A HUMAN BIENG. THATS A HARD THING TO DO WITH MY PAST AND NICK LOVES A CHALLENGE. HE US A WINNER AND HE HAS SEEN MANY CASES. HE DOSENT PRE JUDGE OR EVEN CARE THE CHARGE I FEEL. HE CARES FOR THE CLIENT AND THE CLIENTS FREEDOM AND FUTURE. I RECOMMEND NICK MUDD AND RATE HIM IN THE TOP 3 TRIAL LAWYERS IN THE CITY. SINCERELY, MICHAEL O. DECEMBER 2020

Avvo Rating

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.
