Ms. Cornish is extremely professional and is very confident in her areas of expertise. This is my first experience with hiring a lawyer and Ms. Cornish set the bar HIGH! I will continue to use her and I will recommend her to anyone that is in need of a lawyer. Once I contacted the firm and explained ...
"I worked on cases opposite Nanita when I worked in Hampton. Nanita displayed excellent professionalism, knew criminal defense law and procedure well, and zealously advocated for her clients. I highly recommend her."
"I worked with Nanita at the Office of the Hampton Public Defender for approximately 2.5 years and wholeheartedly endorse her. I learned a substantial amount of information from her about practicing in Juvenile Court and and am forever grateful for the knowledge that she imparted to me. You will be hard-pressed to find a more motivated attorney that will zealously advocate for her clients with the care and dedication that the profession calls for. She goes above and beyond for each client and is extremely effective at achieving results in the courtroom. I am thankful to have the opportunity to learn from Nanita and serve as co-counsel with her on several cases. You could not ask for a better attorney to be by your side."
"Before I was an attorney, I was the Sentencing Advocate/Mitigation Specialist in the Hampton Public Defenders Office, where Nita was an attorney on the Juvenile Court team. She was always prepared for court, and zealously advocated for her clients. Her professionalism is beyond reproach. Now that I am an attorney, I have a better understanding of how difficult a job it can be. Nita approaches her work with a mix of grace and tenacity. She is an excellent attorney and I endorse her wholeheartedly."
"Nanita Cornish is a tireless worker for her clients. She has the reputation of being one of the most-prepared lawyers in the community when she enters the courtroom. She is skilled at negotiating favorable agreements, and she puts up a strong defense when cases go to trial."
"I am proud to endorse Nanita Cornish. I worked with Nanita in the Hampton Public Defender office for about 9 years. We assisted each other in numerous Criminal Jury Trials. She is highly motivated, very intelligent, hard working and a pleasure to work with. She is my very dear friend."
"Nanita is an experienced and accomplished attorney. She is knowledgeable of the law and combines her experience and expertise with compassion and commitment to her clients. I endorse this lawyer without any reservations."
"I met Nita almost 10 years ago when we both worked at the Hampton Public Defender's Office. She was the hardest worker and one of the best attorneys in the office. She was never afraid to take a jury and she knows how to win. She won many cases, small and large, when she was working there and I know that she will bring those talents and hard work to her cases in the private sector."
