Nicholas Robin Westbrook's Lawyer Endorsements
"I've known Nick since law school at South Texas. Nick always stood out in class as one of the smartest guys and graduated at the top of our class. Nick's brain is perfect for all the bankruptcy and business law that he practices. But I am endorsing Nick because of his personality. it's personality and knowledge that succeed in criminal law, and he's got both. Nick is a very dangerous opponent for the District Attorney. if he can beat you on the law, he will. And if he can't, he will argue it to the jury and charm them into the right verdict. I endorse Nick's continued success in the criminal world."
