I am a former prosecutor. As a prosecutor I tried several homicides and tough violent crime cases. I became a criminal defense lawyer and since that day, over 30 years ago I have handle almost nothing but criminal cases. Research will show you that I am one of the most respected criminal defense lawyers in the San Diego and San Diego North County area.
I have a very successful trial reputation. For you, the client, that means the prosecutors take me very seriously and that results in better deals if there is room to negotiate in a case. They know I can win the tough cases.
I have several awards that you cannot purchase. I was awarded the San Diego Trial Lawyer of the Year, The San Diego Criminal Defense Bar Association's Directors Award for Excellence, a "Top Criminal Attorney Award" in 2008, and a "Top Criminal Attorney Award" in 2010. I was listed in San Diego Magazines Top Criminal Lawyers in 2013. That award was based on my AV(the highest) rating and the rating of Pre-Emeninent Attorney by Martindale-Hubbell. Since the very early days they have been the top attorney rating institution in America.
I enjoy what I do and I get good results because of that enjoyment. I have good relationships with most people in the system that matter to you as a client
Today I enjoy handling all variety of criminal cases. Don't mistake me for just a major case lawyer. I enjoy handling Domestic Violence and DUI on a regular basis. DUI has become a very important area of the law because of the potential harm dirving drunk can have and for the fact that you need a driver's license to maintain your job and your lifestyle.

"I have worked with Bill Nimmo and seen him in trial on several occasions over the years. He is without question one of the best trial lawyers I have ever seen!"
"I have had the privilege of working with this outstanding lawyer on a couple cases. Wow… A true master of preparation. Bill Nimmo dissects every minute detail of his client’s case. Mastery of preparation and mastery of communication. I can only aspire to come close. I am simply unable to fully express my true appreciation for the example he sets as a true, battle-tested trial lawyer. A United States Marine, through and through; a scholar and a gladiator, all in one. Thank you for demonstrating the highest of standards. Full, unqualified endorsement."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known and worked with Bill Nimmo for the past twenty years. Bill is an outstanding attorney who fights hard for all his clients, achieving excellent results on his cases. He is not the least bit intimidated by judges, DA's or difficult facts; he considers it a challenge to stand between his client and the often-times unmerciful "system" trying to grind up his clients. I would highly recommend Bill to anyone facing criminal charges; he will obtain the best possible outcome for you. Richard Muir"

"I endorse this lawyer. Bill is a skilled trial attorney, great lawyer and a gentleman. I have known Bill for more than 15 years. We worked together over many months in a complex and complicated multi defendant criminal defense case. I would not hesitate to rely on him for advice or to bring him in on a case requiring special expertise."
