very Impressed
One of the things I like About Mr Gegen is he dont pressure you into taking a Plea and he is a down to earth guy he dont act like he is better then you are like so many other lawyers do. Mr. Gegen has worked on a few cases for me and I was very impressed with the way he handled them all ...

Good Lawyer!
Nick was my lawyer on a criminal sexual conduct case. He presented evidence and statements to the prosecutor before the case was charged, They decided not to charge me. He was very aggresive and convinced them I was scared sh----- about it.

He got game
Very professional, yet has a caring side which gives it a personal touch. He was willing to fight for me as much as I wanted or needed him to do. If you hire him plead not guilty and you will get your money's worth. Very skilled in the courtroom and an expert at creating reasonable doubt.

Wow a Lawyer that cares!!
Mr. Gegen represented me in a felony Theft case that went to jury trial. He was very aggressive with their witnesses and made the jury pay attention with his style. The prosecutor was boring and mundane. Thanks Nick!

This guy is as "tough" as he says he is..
Nick claims to be a tough and aggressive attorney in his web site. He is! He battled with the D.A. in my case for 6 months before she finnally gave in and agreed to a deal keeping it off my record. Other attorneys give up and say well they won't budge or this is as good as it is going to get. Not Nic...
