VERY HAPPY !

Nickloas defended me several yrs ago and I can honestly say if it were not for his talents I would have been unable to live the following 35 yrs as a positive , fulfilling, and happy person. Hope he remembers me?

Terrible Experience, Beware

This lawyer made promises he could not keep. My father is serving 12 years in federal prison when Nicholas Depento told him and our family he need not worry about more than 5. His services were terribly overpriced and he didn’t take care of us at all. He did a sloppy job and couldn’t keep track of a...ny of my fathers information. Perhaps he was a skilled lawyer once but I wonder if he is too old to effectively work now. Beware before paying for any of his services.

The Teflon Don of the San Diego Court Room

Nick DePento is the best lawyer ever i had a case where i was tried as a adult for a juvenile crime. He gave me the best possible defense ever. He’s a kind compassionate and wise man . I’d say he greatly influenced me in my life . I am a successful artist now and sober . The name on the title is the ...nick name i heard people call him he is the best dressed man alive he walks in and handles business the judges give him respect. If you are looking for a good lawyer. And a honest one at that hire him . I’ll never forgot i asked him at 18 so what can you do for me he replied I can’t promise you anything if i did I’d be lying to you. I’d talk to a bunch of lawyers and they promised me the world just trying to get my money . I thank god everyday and hold his family in my deepest prayers.

Nick DePento is Highly Respected in court & treats you like Family

A few years ago DePento represented my cousin and gave him the best possible defense. During the process, DePento became part of the family. He was ALWAYS available and gave me his cell phone number which he always answered. He was thorough and explained everything to each of us as need be.He was und...oubtedly on OUR team, no question about it. Our case was in North County and DePento was obviously greatly respected by other attorneys and all Judges as well. He "outclassed" the North County court. He is sharp, quick and knows the law through and through. We could not have had better representation or outcome and will always have only great reviews of DePento. He proved he is worthy of the respect that he receives. Top notch!
