Very knowledgeable and professional

Hired attorney on recommendation of close friend and very happy to have taken her advise. Final resolution was great for my case and I'm grateful to Mr. Nikitas for caring and handling my case in a very professional manner. Truly a nice and caring man!

Dedicated Professional - Awesome Attorney

Greg really took time to get to know me, the case, and worked so hard to get my case resolved in a favorable way for me. He genuinely cares about his clients and the results he gets. And he worked the case until he got an unbelievably great outcome for me. He is trustworthy, hard working, and smart a...s hell. As others have said, Thank you, Greg. My family and I thank you so much.

He Cares is Knowledgeable and Dedicated

Our entire family thanks you! We could not imagine an attorney taking the time to get to know our son and getting to know us in order to best represent him. He blew the prosecutors out of the water. He is busy but patience is rewarded - what great attorney wouldn't be busy? The judges love him an...d he uses his knowledge of the law and the court system so skillfully. If you or a loved one needs the best, he is your first call. Others may make promises or charge more, but he is honest and hardworking - you want him on your side. Thank you, Greg

The Best

The absolute best trial lawyer in Lake County. Saw him win a murder case and he was outstanding. Cannot imagine anyone else taking the time with the case as he did and getting the result of a not guilty. Tremendous!

Best Attorney To Have on Your Side

Professional and conscientious. He is very knowledgeable about the law and the prosecutors and the judges that will be involved in your case. He is well-respected and does an excellent job. He kept me informed and made sure I understood all that was going on in my case. He took apart the State's case... and they were left with no choice but to dismiss it. Could not recommend highly enough.

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.
