Turned a nightmare into a blessing

After a long drive from CA and longer day at work. I had dinner with clients and drove to my hotel. I was so tired, I fell asleep at the wheel on the busiest street in Las Vegas. I was taken in by LVPD. Booked on a DUI. I hired Nick and Adam ASAP. They won my case with me not stepping into court and just keeping my informed in what I needed to do. I am grateful for him and his team

Would give them 10 stars if we could.

Nicholas and Adam, paralegal, are rockstars in their profession. ;) They are friendly, communicative and knowledgeable. Throughout the entire process, they communicated and never left us in the dark. We're not legal experts so it was very important they were patient with our questions. We would hire them again in a heartbeat.

AMAZING JOB

I was wondering how possible it is to raise a score from low 500 to 800+ until I came in contact with PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST who helped me clean up all the mess in my credit report and raised my score to 811 in about 6 days. That’s incredible right? Yes, I was once in that thought. You can contact him ASAP for more enquiries on how to fix your credit. EMAIL: [email protected] / PHONE: +1 (323) 406 1225.

Best of the Best

I had an attorney for my case that was cheap, and i quickly learned you get what you paid for. Once I set up a consult with Mr Wooldridge, I felt very comfortable and confident moving forward with him. When they stepped on my case Nick and his team left no stone unturned gathering information needed to defend my case. Mr Wooldridge and Reno were like surgeons in the court room. They are worth their weight in gold ten times over!! Cesar and Melody always kept me up to date and informed. If you are unsure who you need to represent your criminal case look no further. Straight forward, honest, and hard working. I truly thank them!!

Best Defense You Could Ever Ask For

Nick is an absolutely exceptional lawyer. You feel like your case is important and he feels every bit of pain you are going through. He is my first call everybody should make. He will be by your side day 1 and will stick by your side to the very end. Everything is very transparent and he is quick to answer any questions you have. Everybody at the law firm cares about you as a client. Would be my first and only recommendation to anyone in the area that needs a criminal defense attorney.

Great Lawyer

Although my case didn’t go as planned I appreciate the effort of Mr Nick Wooldridge and his team from Las Vegas Criminal Defense. They really worked hard but in the end, it was my bad luck and my stupidity that caused the failure.

When it comes to the criminal-offence, Nick is the go-to lawyer. He is an experienced, knowledgeable, competent and expert criminal lawyer.

Highly recommended!!

Very professional and always replies to any thought, question, comment, and/or concern within a timely manner. Also, he is very honest and shared a lot of great advice throughout my court process and afterwords as well.
