Nicholas Okarocha saved my loved one.
I'm so glad to have had found Nick. He was able to get the case dropped for a family member who was looking at a 6 year prison sentence for 2nd DUI accident with GBI. I was able to see Nick in action at Long Beach Court and he was brilliant. I'm beyond greatful for his representation. He charged a very reasonable fee. He is personable, thorough and compassionate. If you want someone trustworthy and AGGRESSIVE - he is your guy!!!

"Nick is a fantastic trial lawyer in the area of criminal defense. He's full of energy, constantly in court, and is also one heck of a nice guy. He always has a good word to say, but when he gets on the record and the jury's in the room, he's all business. I am proud to call Nick a colleague, and I would have no hesitation bringing him into a very heavy case (murder, rape, trafficking) as co-counsel. Nick's feet are on the ground, but he hits the ground running. You won't do wrong with Nick in your corner. Period."

And he is incredibly helpful and willing to share his knowledge and mentor other attorneys."
