This was the stressful time of my life as I was never charged previously in my life for anything. With the help of Nick and his team who made me feel comfortable during this whole process. I would like to appreciate Nick and his team’s effort for winning this case and withdrawing all my criminal charges. I appreciate your services to get my life back to normal routine and highly recommend your services to anyone. RID: 228403

 10/7/20   5     5     5     5     5   I found Nicholas Charitsis while I was desperately looking for legal advice to help me with a first time offence minor assault charge that occurred due to being in a toxic relationship. The crown wanted to proceed with a suspended conviction, meaning I would have a permanent record, while being in school and looking for employment. However thanks to Nick and his teams quick and efficient efforts they were able to get the charge dropped. There was no way I could have gotten these results on my own. Thanks to them, I have another chance to make better decisions for my future. Thank you! RID: 224439

 9/10/20   5     5     5     5     5   It is quite a treasurable memory to have a lawyer on your side, fighting for you restlessly who knows the law and is well informed about his knowledge and what he can promise to achieve for you. Mr. Nicholas Charitsis from Charitsis law is the most brilliant Lawyer I have ever had the pleasure and honour of having being represented by. This was Mr. Nicholas’s second time fighting for a criminal case of mine involving drinking and driving and while matters seemed very rocky and turbulent. He assured me and calmed me down every step of the way explaining exactly what we will be doing next and answered all of my concerns right away. There is NO GREATER LAWYER in TORONTO with criminal law than Mr. Nicholas. You have saved my entire livelihood and I could not believe my eyes and ears when I heard the final sentencing was as opposed to what nightmare it could have been. Thank you for every single thing you and your law firm has done for me. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY MAN in the court of law! RID: 223824

The case was resolved in a speedy manner and I was very happy.If there is a anyone who is in a similar situation I would definitely recommend hiring Nick Charitsis!  RID: 223673

 8/25/20   5     5     5     5     5   About 6 weeks ago, I had a lapse in judgement and unfortunately found myself on the wrong side of the law. Immediately after the incident, I did a lot of due diligence to find and select the right kind of representation for my particular case. During my search, I came across Charitsis Law and decided to call Nick for a consultation, at first my decision was mostly based on the number and quality of personal reviews. From the moment our conversation had started, it was clear to me that Nick was highly knowledgeable, skilled and connected within his area of expertise. I was also fortunate enough to have Vadim assigned to assist in resolving my case. Together, they possessed the intestinal fortitude and tenacity I was looking for in a defense team. I found the overall service at Charitsis Law to be prompt, efficient and highly professional and would highly recommend using Charitsis Law as your defense counsel of choice. RID: 223473

He is incredibly professional and gives great deal of confidence and knowledge to his clients. He is personalable, friendly and takes time to explain things to you personally. His legal team at the law firm is also very knowledgeable, friendly, respectful and keeps you updated with what is going on with your case.As a result of the covid19 situation the courts were closed, but this didn't stop Nicholas from working his magic. Nick phoned me on a Thursday afternoon telling me what was going on the case and that he would have an update for me on Monday. Monday afternoon came and i received and email from the law office reading. After numerous Crown Pre-Trials and a Judicial Pre-Trial conducted by Mr. Charitsis your charges have now been withdrawn by Deputy Crown Attorney .

 5/20/20   5     5     5     5     5   My family and I are extremely grateful for the positive experience we had with Charitsis Law firm. Mr. Nicholas, Mr. Vadim and team were very professional, diligent and respectful. I was charged with both impaired driving and over 80 charges and I had no clue about the consequences until the day I was arrested (Trust me, my readings were so HIGH). Mr.Nicholas made me feel ease from beginning and answered questions very promptly. Mr. Vadim kept me updated with progress of my case and possible outcome periodically. We were worried so much as criminal conviction would result in deportation as we are newly landed Permanents Residents. Today, we received the golden call from Mr. Vadim that my charges have been dropped to minimal penalty with no criminal record for life time. Also, Mr. Nicholas called me to inform that they will also go ahead and work to destroy fingerprints, photographs and criminal record of arrest shortly. Reach out to Charitsis firm. You will not be disappointed RID: 221613

 4/23/20   5     5     5     5     5   In a time of distress, Nick and his associate, Vadim, handled my case with empathy, care, and absolute professionalism. A case that was supposed to take months, was withdrawn within days. I cannot explain the relief one can feel when a dark situation is behind them so quickly. Initially, I consulted with several different lawyers about my case, and I can confidently say, Nick was one of the most knowledgeable lawyers I have spoken with. The most important part was the urgency they placed on my case. I am beyond grateful for Nick and Vadim for all of their efforts through this process. Thank you again and again. RID: 221101

 12/6/19   5     5     5     5     5   I got charged a month ago. My family was incredibly anxious. I met several lawyers. Most of them said that my charge would take several months to handle. However, Nicholas was so confident that my charge could be withdrawn quickly. He asked me to take a course before the first court date. He contacted the crown and was well prepared ahead. When I came to the courtroom on the first court date. He just asked me to sit there and wait. Later on, he asked me to come out and told me that my charge was withdrawn. I couldn't believe that he efficiently got my charge withdrawn on the FIRST court date. I am extremely fortunate and thankful that I hired Nicholas. He is very experienced and professional. He knows his way around the courtroom. His communication is flawless and is on point. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend Mr. Charitsis to anyone in need of a criminal lawyer. Thank you very much, Mr. Charitsis! RID: 216758

 7/29/19   5     5     5     5     5   Nic is an amazing lawyer, I was up for some serious charges including jail time. When you first meet him he is honest with you and lets you know what the out come could be good or bad. All through the process his office kept me updated and informed. Yes he can be hard to get ahold of sometimes but you have to understand he is dealing with alot of other peoples cases. Come trial day the plan that was laid out went perfectly and I was acquitted of all my charges and ended up with a small ticket. Nic is amazing at what he does and it shows from all the other reviews. I cannot thank him enough. RID: 213216

 7/19/19   5     5     5     5     5   I remember the night like it was yesterday. Sitting in angst, in front of a glaring computer screen all night Googling an exceptional lawyer. I’ve never been in a situation where I’d need someone like Nicholas and was very sceptical of his reviews. These comments aren’t bots, they are genuine. Nicholas isn’t cheap, but nothing good in life is. I’m not rich, but my career depends on me having no convictions. Nicholas was a worthwhile investment and delivers results. Contrary to some of the comments I’ve read Nicholas and Michelle were both extremely easy to reach and very professional. Nicholas would even go out of his way to call me. You aren’t hiring a friend, Nicholas is honest, blunt, but very professional. Courthouse administration staff who were processing my documentation spoke highly of Nicholas. Nicholas is truly in a league of his own, I’m always early to my appointments, but he was always there first and well prepared. Listen to his advice and let him work his magic. RID: 212977

 5/30/19   5     5     5     5     5   I was charged and desperate to find a good lawyer. After my first meeting with Nicholas, I felt optimistic and confident that he would get my charges dropped. He delivered his promise and got my charges dropped within the first few court dates. He even goes to the lengths of getting your fingerprints, mugshots and record of arrest destroyed. On top of being an exceptional lawyer, he's very personable and friendly. His assistant Michelle is great too. They go above and beyond to keep you informed and help you feel at ease throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Nicholas if you're looking for a lawyer to win your case. RID: 211663

 5/8/19   5     4     5     5     5   I had a domestic offense charge which occurred on 3/31/2019. I did my research for the criminal lawyers in GTA and I had four lawyers under my list (all of them had very high rating). Nicholas was the first lawyer that I met, and to be honest I was already ready to hire him after that meeting since he gave me so much confidence by explaining my case to me. He also brought up himself that he could get the fingerprints, mug shots and record of arrest at the police station destroyed. However, since I am a meticulous guy, I wanted to see what other lawyers would say too. The other three well-known lawyers did express to me that my case was not TOO serious but it could be tricky and would at least take 6 months to a year to resolve, but they didn’t even mention the destruction of the police record at all. Therefore I went back and hired Nicholas. Nicholas told be he had a formula for this and he never lost. I followed his formula with the effort he put in my case (he went to several crowns RID: 211018

 4/26/19   5     5     5     5     5   I called Nicholas Charitsis' firm and hired their criminal defence lawyer Vadim Paskarou. Vadim’s work on my over 80 care and control charge was perfect! I was worried about getting a criminal record, but he took care of everything and I didn’t even end up having to testify - he told me that Christmas came early and I would just have to pay a $1000 fine for careless driving, which is a traffic offence (6 demerit points) not a criminal offence. I’m so happy with the result. Before the trial date, I met with him at least 6 times total to watch surveillance videos of me, solidify my defence, give me some information about the law, and do a dry run of the trial with my friend who was going to testify with me. I felt as comfortable as I could given the situation since he prepared me well. Vadim seems to have good report with the crown and others at court which I believe was to my advantage. He’s had a winning streak for a long time and he’s always available to communicate. RID: 210665

 4/16/19   5     5     5     5     5   After checking out a few different lawyers that friends had recommended, I decided to find my own. I checked out the reviews of Nicholas Charitsis’ firm, they were all great, so I went with them. Vadim worked on my over 80 care and control charge and we had met up maybe a total of six times in the year till my trial to build a good defence. He also had two additional technical arguments for my case. I felt like he prepared me well for the trial date. The best part was that, before the trial even began, he spoke to the crown and the judge, saying that if convicted it would be bad for my career and it’s out of character for me, etc. When he told me that Christmas came early and that I could plead guilty to careless driving which isn’t a criminal offence and I would only have to pay a $1000 fine, I was so happy. I learned a lot from this experience and I would highly recommend this firm. Thanks Vadim! RID: 210400

 4/15/19   5     5     5     5     5   Having interviewed multiple lawyers for a DUI charge, Nicholas proved himself to be both the most knowledgeable and professional, particularly considering there was a previous conviction. He communicated a clear course of action, managed expectations and delivered exactly what he said he would quickly and without exception. In court he proved himself to be highly knowledgeable and was clearly well-respected by both the crown attorney and the judge. Thanks for everything Nicholas. RID: 210387

 4/9/19   5     5     5     5     5   Mr. Charitsis represented me on my second DUI offence. Yes, I am very ashamed of myself for this however this attorney was upfront and professional with me from our very first meeting. He explained the process, as well as what I could expect as an outcome should I choose him as my lawyer. I did a lot of research about minimum penalties imposed from the courts, as well as from the MTO. Nicholas pretty much assured me that he could better for me and definitely did not disappoint! Everything was looked after professionally, courteously, and without judgement. It was handled in a time frame that allowed him to perform a pre-trial with the crown, and ultimately achieve what he promised me... no Jail time and a reduced drivers license suspension period! I am extremely pleased and grateful to Mr. Charitsis for his abilities, for not sugar coating anything, and for keeping his word! I would strongly recommend this firm to anyone going through a similar situation! Thank you Nicholas! RID: 210192

Nicholas was able to walk me through what he thought he could do to manage help my case. He filled me with confidence from the beginning. His staff were quick to respond to questions and were thorough with acquiring the necessary information from myself. After all was wrapped up, I was extremely pleased with the results, and would recommend him to anyone looking at a criminal offence. RID: 210063

 3/19/19   5     5     5     5     5   Nicholas was very professional and highly competent in dealing with my case. He outlined the best legal plan of action, including which steps we had to take to rectify the situation, and proceeded very effectively and promptly. To be honest, while shopping around for legal representation, I was getting bombarded with negative information and the possibility of the legal case ending with very dire consequences. However, in our first meeting, Nicholas was able to explain everything clearly and I left feeling cautiously optimistic with the plan that we had set in place. That feeling paid off because Nicholas worked very hard and managed to close the case quicker and with better results than I had expected. I feel very grateful for his hard work and would highly recommend him or would turn to him again if needed (knock on wood). RID: 209542

Nick was always professional and to the point. He kept me updated after every court appearance and even went the extra mile to destroy my finger prints photographs and police record of arrest after my charges were all dismissed. I'm glad I selected him as my lawyer and now consider him like family. I would definitely recommend him to all my friends and family after the very positive experience that I had with him and his office. RID: 209182

 2/28/19   5     5     5     5     5   Excellent results and outcome with Nicholas Charitsis as my lawyer. I was charged with domestic assault x6 and I knew that I was innocent. Nicholas was up front and honest with me about my chances of success right from the start. He walked me through a roadmap of what we would do to WIN. The case took about 9 months to complete and I have to admit I was nervous about what was going to happen with my criminal charges. Some of the reviews about him worried me... but I kept checking back and seeing that he was always winning cases. Thank goodness I stuck with him as my lawyer since all of my charges were withdrawn. I should also point out that his legal assistant Michelle is AMAZING. She would update me after every court date and calm my nerved every time I doubted what may happen with my case. You need to trust Nicholas when he says he’s got a plan it means he does have a strategy in place. I’ve learned that court cases take time and I’m sure glad Nicholas believed in me came through!

 2/20/19   5     4     4     5     5   Nicholas Charitsis and his enitire legal team are rare and one of a kind in the best ways possible! If you encounter any legal problems and want someone who truly wants to assist you to the fullest extent then this is the law firm you need at your side. I made a big stupid mistake and got charged with a refusal to provide a breath sample. I was in desperate need of legal assistance. I went to many law firms looking everywhere in the city for a good legitimate representation and nobody came even close to making me feel confident and safe the way Nicholas and his team did. Once I got to the office just by looking at the place you can tell that this was the place to be when seeking good legitimate legal representation. I got a good vibe almost instantly. I went to many different Law Firms where they all offered me different types of approaches towards my case but in comparison to Nicholas and his team they all fell short. I knew Nicholas and his team were the one to hire. While reviewing RID: 208635

 2/19/19   5     5     5     5     5   Where should I start. Being the victim of immigration marriage fraud and being falsely accused of serious assault charges where I literally felt and foresaw myself dead and gone. But wait for the climax, it was when Nick came into the picture for help. I should say without exaggeration man is a genius and one of a kind lawyer. Where 10 other lawyers refused to write to the police to bring forward the evidence against my ex for what she did to me. Nick helped me get my voice out there on every forum and provided aggressive defence to me as well as motivating me to keep fighting hard. I got to say man is a silent killer who provides value for money and get the job done. Should you ever find yourself in such mess. Call this guy don't waste a minute because clock is ticking.

 2/15/19   5     5     5     5     5   My DUI case was a big challenge (and scare) to me. I’ve never had any trouble with law before. No wonder that I felt uneasy coming to my first meeting with Nick. During the meeting Nick introduced Vadim, another lawyer from his team and said: “ Now you have two lawyers for the price of one! :).” I liked that. Nick broke the ice and from that point on everything went smoothly and efficiently. They gained my trust when after having gone through all the details of my case, they pointed out to me all its weak points and just one or two giving us some chance to win. I didn’t feel any pressure from them, still, decided to go for a trial. Now, after the trial I can say that it was my best decision in years and that Nick’s team were the best people to execute it. Nick’s office is well organized, warm and clean. All phone calls are promptly answered and messages passed on. As far as trial goes, I couldn’t praise Vadim enough. He prepared me for the trial very well so that I could stay calm and RID: 208527

 2/12/19   5     5     5     5     5   Before I hired Nicholas, my case dragged on for months without any progress. I had to attend one court appearance after another and I was deeply stressed about the whole situation. A while ago, I was finally at the point where I had to find a good lawyer who can resolve my case. I found Nicholas on Google and after reading his fantastic reviews I decided to meet with him. Nicholas is very personable, knowledgeable, and extremely professional. At our initial meeting, he set out what he was going to do and what he was likely to achieve. In the end, he achieved that result and managed to have the charge against me withdrawn. If you need a good lawyer for your case, consider Nicholas. He is a truly amazing lawyer. RID: 208376

He worked his magic and made my charges disappear. But to be honest I wasn't expecting to win and I was already preparing myself to go to jail. I wouldn't have still wrote a positive review because of HOW he handled my case and the respect that everyone involved including judges, crown attorneys, and other defence lawyers every time he showed up in court for me. I've used many others lawyers in the past but I can truly say that none of them even compare to Nicholas. He is the best guy out there for the job win or lose he deserves 5 stars.

I've retained hid services twice now and both time he has come through for me in a ongoing domestic dispute with my partner. Both times when I was charged with domestic assault Nicholas explained to me right from our first meeting what the strategy would be. Each time he predicted the outcome with razor sharp precision. I followed his formula and both times my criminal charges were dropped. No criminal record and never had to go to probation. Nick is awesome. He even showed me that he applied to the RCMP to have my finger prints and record of police arrest destroyed. This has come in very handy for me each time I cross the border to the US. Even with being arrested by the police 2 times I don't have any problems crossing to go visit my family down south. Other lawyers that I interviewed didn't even know that this was available.

His prediction was bang on, he was able to get me the best possible outcome for my case. I am very pleased with this. But saying that, I did have some concerns with his legal assistant Montana. First, she told me a possible sentence available for my case, after further research on my own I found that option wasn't even available for DUI cases at all. After stressing concerns with my legal office giving me wrong information, emails were ignored, and she even took it as far to hang up on me, I was appalled. I found Nick did vacation a lot and I would be left for weeks at a time with not answers to my questions because his legal assistant would be responsible for eMails. Being criminally charged is nerve wrecking, and I had a lot of questions. Although Nickwas successful in my case, and very knowledgeable I would have appreciated more communication. RID: 168611

Nicholas was easy to get a hold of and went above and beyond the call of duty to update me about my case every step of the way.

My friend referred Mr. Charitsis about 6 months ago, since then I have seen nothing but professional, respectable and knowledgable representation. Most lawyers only care about making money. Of course no lawyer will work for free (we all wish they would) but Mr. Charitsis is very reasonable with pricing. Nick is truly concerned about my innocence and freedom.

I didn't even need to show up in court Nick had my charges dropped in no time. I was extremely happy with the outcome. Not only did he drop the charges but he also went as far as cleaning up my fingerprints photographs and all police records. I'm very greatful for choosing him as my lawyer and I would not hesitate referring him to all my friends and family. RID: 156670

 7/8/15   5     5     5     5     5   I was searching online for a lawyer for my case and I came across the Law Office of Nicholas Charitsis. I called and was able to set up a meeting almost immediately. I met with Nicholas on a the Canada Day holiday. Was really surprised that he was working that day. After meeting with him I was sure he was the lawyer for me. He knew his stuff and was able to explain in great detail how we were going to fight my charges. Nicholas told me what I needed to do and he explained what he would do for me. It was really easy to get a hold of him any time I had a question and his office staff was super nice. When we got to court Nicholas came through for me as he promised. Both of my serious criminal charges were dropped. I was so impressed with him and his approach. He didn't treat me like a client but I more like family. Based on my experience I would highly recommend him to anybody looking for a top notch criminal lawyer. He's now my lawyer for life!!!

 5/17/15   5     5     5     5     5   Nicholas literally SAVED my life. He had my over80 charge dropped to a traffic ticket. I did not think there was any way to get around this as there was an accident involved in my case which complicated things and 5 other lawyers all told me that my chances were 50/50. When I met with Nick, he spoke with confidence and knowledge and laid out the possibilities from the start for me. He is well-known by his peers and highly respected. He was honest, his fees were extremely reasonable and his office was an absolute pleasure to work with. They kept me in the loop with follow-ups after each court date and Nick attended every appearance with me. Many other lawyers charge you the fees and then have their paralegals attend on their behalf but, Nick is hard-working and is present each and every time. Thank you again to you and your team Nick for resolving my case for me. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! RID: 154364

 5/1/15   5     5     5     5     5   I just resolved my Impaired, over80 mgs and Dangerous driving charges in the Toronto court with Nicholas. He was able to get all three criminal charges dropped and my case was reduced to a traffic ticket. I could have never imagined gettimg this amazing result. All other lawyers that I interviewed said that it could not be done. Nicholas was amazing in court. His confidence and determination crushed the crown attorney into dropping the charges. Originally I was facing jail time because of a 4 car accident in this case but Nick turned things around to my advantage. His office was a pleasure to deal with. I never felt out of the loop with what was going on. I could set up a meeting with my lawyer almost every time I needed to speak with him. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a criminal lawyer. Keep up the good work. Your happy client Sam. RID: 153703

 4/28/15   5     5     5     5     5   Legit the best lawyer in the city. Nicholas was able to have all three of my domestic assault charges dropped in Newmarket court. When I attended with him it was obvious that the judges and crowns had huge respect for him. Everybody knew him by his first name and even the judge told me that because I had an excellent lawyer my charges were withdrawn. Nicks office was always professional and updated me about my case every step of the way. I never felt out of the loop. His service with handling my matters during a very stressfull time in my life was top notch. Nicks fees were fair and I was happy to pay him every penny since he delivered exactly what he promised he would. He's my go to guy for any problems with the law from now on. RID: 153549

 4/8/15   5     5     5     5     5   Excellent lawyer!!! Nicholas took on my DUI case and was able to have the charges dropped to a traffic ticket. His fees were reasonable and his office was always pleasant to deal with. Nicholas was very honest about my case from the beginning and he didn't hose me with extra fees at the end. Most important he saved my drivers licence and I didn't get a criminal record which was critical for me as a real estate agent. I'm very glad that I hired him. I've referred him to 2 other friends with similar charge and they have been just as satisfied as me. I recommend Nicholas highly. RID: 152746

He knew from the beginning how to approach the case and he believed in my innocence. I felt like family while he was fighting for me and this made a huge difference in the result of the case. Unlike other lawyers that were just interested in getting paid nick was all about helping me fix my problems in court. I recommend him highly. RID: 152537

I literally interviewed more than 20 lawyers to make sure that I selected the best person for the job. Nicholas Charitsis is the real deal. Right from the start I knew he was the best fit. He explained everything to me so I could understand what my options were and he made m feel comfortable with what we could do to fights the charges. No other lawyer had the courage to tell me we could beat the charge. I attended court with him for my appearances and everybody at the Scarborough courthouse knew him. It was obvious that I was in good hands. At the pretrial date nick was prepared and ready to make things happen for me. The crown attorney agreed to drop my charges of I did 30hours of volunteer work. No criminal record and I didn't lose my drivers licence. Im so fortunate to have hired Nicholas to fight for me.

I was impressed with his candid assessment of my case and no nonsense approach to resolving my matter in a timely and efficient way. He was always available when I needed him and his staff were well informed about my case giving me regular updates as I needed him.

 12/19/14   5     5     5     5     5   Nicholas Charitsis is a true gentleman and an excellent lawyer. I asked for his help in court literally while in tears. The police charged me with domestic assault on my partner of over 25years because I called them to report a verbal argument. To my surprise I found myself in handcuffs charged with assault over absolutely nothing. I was given bail conditions not to have contact with my partner and 3 children. This was right before the holidays which means that I couldn't go back home for Christmas. Nicholas immediately took on my case and told me not to worry. He did the impossible. Within 1 day he changed my bail conditions so I could go back home. Every other lawyer at the Finch courthouse said it couldn't be done. Nick saved my family and got me cleared from the assault charge. The most amazing thing is that he did it for no charge! This man is compassionate and cares about people. It was the best Christmas gift I could have ever received. God bless you Nicholas. RID: 147907

 12/13/14   5     5     5     5     5   My son was brought up on theft and drug charges. I retained him for a very reasonable price.. He kept us in the loop with email updates reiterating what happened in court that day. His staff was very personable and knowlagable they could answer questions for me regarding basics of the case. Nick was very professional; he would meet us before the hearings and answer any questions we had. Nick never made any deals or moves without confirming with my son and I first, nor did he make any promises he could not keep. He made a deal with the Crown to get the drug charges dropped and diversion for the theft case even though the Crown was asking for jail time. It was evident from the start of the case that Nick was highly respected by his peers in the courtroom and most importantly the Judge. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone who wants their case handled within a timely manner and by someone who cares about the outcome but more importantly the impact it has on a young person’s future.

 12/13/14   5     5     5     5     5   I retrained Nicholas for a very complicated bail hearing for my brother. The charges were domestic assault. The allegations very serious and the crown was motivated to keep him in jail. Not only did Nicholas answers his phone at 2am when I needed him the most but he attended court on the weekend to represent us and fight for my brothers release. Nick was amazing. He explained everything to me in plain language so I coild understand what was going on and he had a tremendous amount of respect by all staff members of the court. Even the judge knew him by his first name. Nicks advocacy skills were incredible. He was able to persuade the judge and the crown to release my brother when they originally wanted to lock him up and throw away the key. Nick is bright, energetic and no nonsense. He gets the job done and there's an obvious pride that he takes in his work. I would refer him to anyone seeking legal representation. He certainly impressed me! RID: 147607

 11/15/14   5     5     5     5     5   Intelligent. Confident. Persuasive. Hard-working. Nick gets results. Period. These are the qualities that I needed in my lawyer to defend me and get the best possible result. I was charged with criminal flight from police and dangerous driving. After interviewing several lawyers only Nick was able to give me the assurance that I would not lose my drivers licence or get a criminal record. All other lawyers told me to plead guilty because the facts in my case were "too bad" and I would lose my licence for 1 year. Nick sat me down and explained what my options were and told me he would find a way to get me no criminal record and save my drivers license at the same time. At first the crown attorney would't budge, but after several pretrials Nick was able to persuade the prosecution to drop the criminal charges and offer me a sweet heart deal to a traffic ticket. Conclusion; no criminal record, no suspension. This is exactly the kind of criminal lawyer you need on your side. I recommend him RID: 146269

 10/14/14   5     5     5     5     5   Mr. Charitsis did a great job in representing me in assault case. My spouse had charged me with assault and i could not believe that this was happening to me. I gave Mr.Charitsis a call and right from the start Nicholas mapped out a plan of action and we stuck to it.I was very pleased with his services and final outcome of my case. My charge was dropped and no record. He was very professional and he cared about my situation(honest--which is hard to find in an attorney) and he was very affordable. He took care of my court case in a timely and effective manner. He had a great court presence, one that demanded respect. He is the lawyer you want and need on your side fighting for you. If I should get into anymore situations with the law, hopefully not, but you will be the first one i call Mr.Charitsis! I would highly recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in an unfortunate law situation. RID: 144655

 10/10/14   3     1     1     1     1   okay... here we go. I paid him more than 5k for a dui, when I could have pled guilty on my first court date and got the minimum sentence. Instead he put it off and off and off. 18 months later I had my trial. A month before my trial his secretary told me that he had a family emergency and could no longer handle my trial, and referred me to someone else. I met with that lawyer a month before trial. That lawyer emailed me the day before my trial to say he was stuck on vacation and couldn't attend and that Nick would handle it. I met Nick at trial and he said we had no case and I should plead guilty and because of him the judge should give me minimum. If I would have ples guilty at the beginning I would have been able to drive after 3 months and a 1000 fine. Instead it cost me 5000+ and the 1000 fine and 1 year able to drive after 6 months. What a joke. I don't think he ever opened my file until the actual day of court which took all of 30 minutes. DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY. RID: 144487

First off, I want let you all know that not only does he specialize in bail hearings, impaired and dangerous driving, and domestic assault, but he defended me when an assault charge was brought against me. This man is incredibly gifted. Mr. Charitsis is one of the most hard working, professional and sincerely kind professional that I know. I was proud to have him by side as a lawyer. As an officer of the law, he was and is respected in the courtroom by his opposing counsel and judges. I'm appalled by these reviews before me, and to take a moment and ask yourself these questions: 1) Are you perfect? 2) Do you work for free? 3) Are you a Criminal lawyer? 3)What is the complexity of your charge? Mr. Charitsis an outstanding lawyer. He is a professional in what he does, he knows what's best for his clients and more importantly, he doesn't judge. You shouldn't either. RID: 130726

He met with me on weekends and I felt that I received full value for what I paid him to do. Both of my charges were dismissed at trial because Nicholas found a technicality that nobody was able to see including the judge! I was able to keep my drivers licence and got not criminal record.

 5/29/13   5     4     5     5     5   Unfortunately I was recently charged with dangerous driving causing bodily harm. I sought out Nicholas after hearing great things from a colleague and he was spot on with the referral, Nick was great! Rather than spending 18 months in jail, having a criminal record and losing my license permanently (plus a significant fine) Nick took my case to trial and I was acquitted of all charges! I don’t have a criminal record and am able to keep my driver’s license, I could not have asked for a better result! If it wasn’t for Nick I would be in jail and lose my job and future employment would be bleak. Nick was great every step of the way, being attentive, easy to reach and explaining occurrences as they came about. Rather than paying extensive fees with no result (as with many criminal lawyers) I paid fair fees and could not be happier with the result of my case. Nick is an intelligent, confident and hardworking lawyer that I would recommend to anyone seeking legal help. ---Jorgui Jherjal RID: 114737

I had quite a few charges, one being criminal, and was facing some jail time as well as huge fines and a license suspension. Nick made made a deal with the crown, which allowed me to keep my license, stay out of jail and my fine were less than half what it could have been. This allowed me to keep my job and basically my whole life together. He was very professional and took very good care of me, my brother has hired him as well, on my recommendation. Him and his assistant were very promt with returning my calls and emails, and kept me up to date with everything that was going on with my case. In the end, every penny I spent on him was worth it. He literally saved my life. Thanks man. RID: 110119
