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."

"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."
