I really had to take the utmost time to prepare this review of the extraordinary services I received from the Charitsis Law Criminal Defence Lawyers. First off, I wanted to say my personal thanks to Mustafa, David, William and the guy himself Nick Charitsis. His team was super diligent with my case and made the process of going through a DUI charge very relaxing. All the counsel I dealt with were super nice, understand, patient and easy to talk to. I get it, lawyers deal with people and speak properly all the time. However, this was different. It felt like you were confiding in people who you may have known for years.I remember my initial conversation with Nick. I briefly explained my situation and within minutes on the phone, I knew I had to retain his services ASAP. Mind you, this was not the first law firm I called. The first lawyer I called, based on Law Society recommendation; did not give me any confidence that he would be able to fight my case and get me any kind of deal. The second lawyer I called was much worse. After retooling and another precise google search “best lawyers in York Region”, I stumbled upon Charitsis Law whom I called immediately. I expressed my desire to have an amicable resolution to my case and I was not in the position to take this to trial. Nick confidently told me that he would find a way to get my charge reduced. For some reason, I just knew he was a man of his word, so I retained his services shortly after.I must digress, I was planning initially to fight this case myself, drag it on was long as I could and plead guilty. I was told by numerous friends and folks who also went through their own DUI cases to plead guilty and give up my license for 1 year. However, due to my career, I was unable and unwilling to do that. On the advice of my family and a close friend who had recently joined the legal profession as a newly minted barrister and solicitor told me to seek legal representation.Nick and his team fought very hard to get my charges reduced and out of criminal courts. A few months after retaining the Charitsis Law Firm, I was no longer facing the more serious, life-affecting charge of Driving Under the Influence. My case was settled properly as I was able to plead to the lesser, non-criminal charge of Careless Driving. I was able to keep my license under the condition of installing an interlock ignition device.This was the best possible outcome for a much-complicated case. I can’t thank the Charitsis Law firm enough. I highly recommend these guys, especially if you’re going through any Drinking and Driving related offences. Once again thanks guys for helping me out on my case.SignedL.M.Very happy clientread more

I hired Charitsis Law after an exhaustive search, speaking to half a dozen law firms. I felt like they both had the most sophisticated approach to beat my case.After extensive research, their reviews and track record for beating cases like mine was the best I seen online. They had articulated several paths of defense that I wasn't hearing from other lawyers, they were relentless on how to build a case that would put pressure on the Crown to deal. I was charged with impaired over 80. I am not a big drinker, but there was one night I had a couple extra on an empty stomach and I blew over the limit. No priors, never been charged, never really got into trouble my whole life and now my entire career trajectory is in question with a criminal charge over my head after one mistake. Nick and Vadim told me not to be concerned and proceed with life as is and they would take care of it for me. Vadim took the lead and was extremely thorough, professional, and meticulous. He was able to find issues with the evidence in my case and worked a deal with the Crown for a reduced traffic charge of careless driving. I am extremely thankful to Nick and Vadim for getting this done for me as it was an extremely stressful situation that could have impacted me for the rest of my life. I'm glad I choose their firm to represent me and I highly recommend you choose them for any impaired charges you may be facing.read more

Before I sought their help, I had tried consulting other lawyers I found through a Google search, but unfortunately, all they did was scare me to death. It was a frustrating experience that left me feeling even more anxious and uncertain about my situation. However, finding this exceptional lawyer was a game-changer. Their approach was completely different, providing the calm and reassurance I desperately needed. Their professionalism and expertise not only helped me overcome my fear but also led to the successful dropping of the DUI charges against me. I am incredibly grateful for their outstanding service and genuine care throughout the process. They truly stand out among the rest, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance.I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Will Vendramini for his exceptional dedication and consistent availability in staying in touch with me whenever I had questions or needed clarification.

We contacted Nicholas Charitsis on a Friday evening with an urgent need for legal advice and representation for a close family member. She was already in great distress due to the circumstances that led to the need for legal advice, and we were all extremely worried about the very serious charges that she could potentially face. Recognizing the immediate need for legal assistance, Mr. Charitsis connected us with his associate Mustafa Sheikh, who took the time to explain the situation to us and to reach out to the investigating officer on our behalf. Mr. Sheikh kept us in the loop at all times and was able to make the process of interacting with police much less stressful for our relative. Nothing is more important than peace of mind when dealing with these situations. Both Mr. Charitsis and Mr. Sheikh were able to give that to us. We would recommend them to anyone!read more

First I would like to appreciate Nick and his crew for withdrawing my case entirely as he promised.It was probably the toughest few months in my life as I have never been charged criminally before. Nick has not only helped me to beat the case, but has been there for me the whole time and patiently explained every detail of the process.I did counsel few other films before I made the decision to go with Nick. And truthfully, his rate might not be the cheapest compare to others. However, like Nick told me at the beginning, "you cant put a price on criminal charges." When all other lawyers told me that my case should be a easy win if I paid them full, Nick was the only one who took the time by explaining to me the best and worst scenarios, and he promised me that he will do everything to help me drop my case. And he did! Now I am grateful that I made the right decision, and I think you should to.Again, thank Nick and his crew so much for everything they did. I will make sure to spread the words out to all my friends and family if any of them need a real criminal lawyer.read more

Nicholas Charitsis is one of the most hard working, compassionate and best criminal lawyer's I've ever met. He is extremely determined to achieve the best possible results for his clients. I was facing jail time for charge that I regret having been involved with. Mr. Charitsis assured me that everything would be fine. He called the Old City Hall court and worked out a diversion deal for me that assured my criminal charge would be dropped. Nicholas has excellent communication skills and the experience to get the job done. He's worth the extra money to pay and get you the best result.read more

Charitsis Law is the most professional and honourable criminal law firm in all of Toronto. The level of honesty, respect, and the very definitive lines about what they can and can’t do is very clear. This was my second experience with Charitsis Law and it was just as immaculate as the first. I came to them asking for all the help I could without even considering going anywhere else, THEY KNOW THE LAW and I without hesitation I trusted them with the well-being and future of my career, criminal record, and generally my life all together! Michelle was amazing and very helpful with all my questions and any admin inquiries over the phone or in person when I needed it. Mr. Nicholas and Mr. Vadim were with me every single step of the way till I received a slap on the wrist for what could have been life changing, certainly to the worse if they were not fighting for me! They exude every level of expertise in the area of criminal law, DUI, over 80, and other Criminal law areas. I consider Charitsis Law and the entire team there like my FAMILY. They fought for me with all the knowledge and energy they have and for that I will be forever grateful. Thank you Mr. Nicholas, Mr. vadim, the wonderful Michelle and the entire team. I feel extremely fortunate and lucky to have found you guys and to leave with such a positive outcome from a not at all positive situation gives me the reassurance I always had, CHARITSIS LAW IS UNDENIABLY the BEST CRIMINAL LAW FIRM IN TORONTO.read more

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.My case had presented Nick and Vadim with a formidable challenge, and they handled it with grace and aplomb. At the beginning of our conversation, Nick made a personal promise to me to try everything in his power to deliver the very best outcome for my case and he overdelivered on his promise.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.read more

I would like to say a huge thank you to Nicholas Charitsis and his law office for all their support on reducing a criminal charge to highway traffic act with minor conditions. I had a lawyer prior to this law office and based on their guidance I was ready to plead guilty. So I decided to get a second opinion. I googled the top lawyers in the Toronto region and Charitsis Law came up in the top 3. I spoke to each of those Law offices and Nicholas called me directly and I found him to be very professional, forthcoming and honest about his abilities and what my options were. I decided to meet him personally and discuss my options. Upon meeting him, I could tell that he was asking very specific questions and immediately trying to find gaps. I was very impressed with his knowledge of the law (especially the new laws around drinking and driving). after that meeting decided to go with him! The price was reasonable and the service was very good! I received regular updates from his office on the status of my case and I also had the cell numbers of both Nicholas and his associate Vadim so I felt very comfortable that I could reach out if I had any questions. Overall a very professional law office and I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking a criminal lawyer! Thanksread more

I met Nick and was amazed by how he took his time to listen to my case and was sympathetic and courteous to my plea to get the case resolved to the best outcome. What made me even be more in disbelief was how he treated me as a friend of his friend’s rather than a client first. Due to his busy schedule he entrusted me to his best associate and I am happy to say that I could not be more grateful and thankful with the outcome of my case and services of Charitsis Law. I highly recommend Charitsis Law for any criminal law cases as they treat every case with utmost importance and will not be satisfied until they get you the best result and will not stop fighting for you till the end.

In January 2020 I was charged with both Impaired Driving and Refusal to Blow. I've never been in trouble with the police before and didn't know who to turn to. My livelihood depends on my ability to drive and to have no criminal record. After doing extensive research and dozens of reference checks I decided to reach out to Nicholas, from Charitsis Law Firm, who already had a number of great reviews. I was surprised that he personally answered my phone call on a Saturday morning! From my first phone call I could tell that he was professional, honest and extremely knowledgeable. Nicholas clearly explained to me what my chances were and gave me well thought out options on how to proceed. I felt extremely confident with him in my corner... As a result of the covid19 situation the courts were closed, but this didn't stop Nicholas from working his magic. He obtained my disclosure from the Newmarket crown attorney office and found problems with the police case. Nicholas conducted pretrial with the crown attorney even while the courts were not in session. My charges ended up getting dropped to a traffic ticket with no criminal record and no suspension of my drivers license. I couldn't have imagined a better result. Nicholas kept me informed every step of the way and guided me right from the start. He is extremely talented and worth the higher fees. Other lawyers had advised me to plead guilty, only Nicholas had a plan to fight and win. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and saving me from being ruined.read more

I was facing some serious domestic assault charges after an emotional night and was terrified for my future. I reached out to Nicholas as he had many good reviews and because of the convenient location of his office. It was right at the courthouse where my case was going to be heard, which I thought would be an advantage as they would be familiar with the agents and culture of the court. Upon meeting with Nicholas I felt immediately reassured, and for the first time like my charges weren't as big of a deal as some other lawyers had made them seem. He felt very confident the charges could be resolved and said they had dealt with worse cases with favorable resolutions. I retained his office and ended up working with Vadim, his partner, who seemed to take my case seriously and I felt confident he would be a strong advocate for me. My charges will now be withdrawn after some upfront work, and I am really relieved that I have another chance at a normal life. Nicholas also offered to destroy my fingerprints and photographs, which I am very happy about!read more

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!read more

A summary about myself, I was wrongly accused of domestic abuse. There are so many things that I want to share that will open a can of worms about my ex. However, I would be very very honest with all, on her side of Lawyer, they are literally helped a criminal. Even though my marriage was family arranged but when ex said she will pay me back her marriage immigration docs and visa expenses during one of our arguments in Toronto; I just snapped. Canadian citizenship is not for sale, and for her to say so, just for this statement, she can be prosecuted under the act of law. We had to end this fight with loud noise and yelling. We had two big arguments. She was just came in Toronto, Canada few weeks and she literally started provoking and exploiting me, never before experienced such a for which I snapped. At the end of the day, my intension was clear, to build a happy family, to help her grow, assimilate her in Canadian society, support her further studies, love and care her, I tried my best but came to know that I was dealing with a stone heartless girl (no feelings no emotions). It is and was all about money money and buying expensive bags and cloths no feelings. The girl that I met in a few ago, caring, loving and kind) was not the same girl when she came to Toronto. She was suddenly vicious, super sensitive, egoist, impatient, repulsive and argumentative. Just for the record, she never said “love you” nor “thank you” once nor showed any feelings of gratitude, love nor emotions towards me. She was and is a stone. At the end of the day, it was all about, exploitation, manipulation, greed, taking advantage, money and ego.I would also like to emphasis that Toronto cops did not handle it very well, they were very unprofessional, without asking or what really happened, they took her words. In this helpless situation, I reached out to Nick.As promised, he took care of everything and brought me the justice. Just a heads up, before signing any agreements please read or ask the price. For me, it was little pricy but at the end the day, Nick proved in front of the court (judge) that I am innocent.Nick is a very diplomatic, experienced, professional and also silent killer to injustice. I would recommend Nick, for any one who are fighting for in justice. Cheers!read more

I spent a lot of time and money finding a lawyer to defend me in an assault case that I was never involved in. I couldn't find a dependable lawyer but when I found Nicholas he gave me hope for the success in my case. My last lawyer was very unreliable and messed up my case in court but Nicholas and his team came along with a high pedigree and fixed everything that was wrong. When I first met him he had a clear plan for what we wanted to accomplish. I had a lot of stress with the situation and he did not fail to comfort me through the process. I'm proud to say that he solved my case and I can go forward in my life peacefully. Lastly I'd like to mention how flexible he was with payments as we discussed a payment plan that was easy for me to follow. Yes, his fees were higher than my previous lawyer, but you always get what you pay for. All in all I recommend Nicholas and his team to anyone that is in need of help!read more

Nick and his team of criminal lawyers work on my over 80 care and control charge was perfect! I was worried about getting a criminal record, but they took care of everything and I didn’t even end up having to testify - Nick told me that Christmas came early and I would just have to pay a $1000 fine for careless driving, which is a traffic ticket, not a criminal offence. I’m so happy with the result. Before the trial date, I met with his team at least 8 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. Nick seems to has a good report with the and others at court which I believe was to my advantage. He also prepared two back up technical defences. I recommend Charitsis Lawyers highly- Nick had a winning streak for a long time and he’s always available to communicate.read more

Nicholas Charitsis Law office was absolutely amazing in getting my assault charges withdrawn at the 1000 Finch court. Nick and his team went the extra mile in so many ways.

By far the best criminal lawyers around. Nicholas and his team were able to drop my Refuse To Provide Breath Sample charge down to a traffic ticket. No criminal record and no suspension of my drivers license. Above all Nicholas is very personable and makes sure that you are informed about every step of your case. He will give you the straight answers to questions you have and make you comfortable along the way. At times I felt frustratedly that my case was dragging but in the end it was worth the wait. Nicholas delivered on his promise to have my charges dropped and get my fingerprints and photographs the police had on file destroyed. He is the real deal.read more

If I could give him 10 stars I would! My partnrer just had her charges dropped in court today because of Nicholas. This lawyer is beyond excellent, he was on top of everything and was extremely prepared at the trial. When the judge asked him to provide a case similar to the one we were fighting Nicholas pulled out 10 cases from his briefcase to show the judge the law. We really felt comfortable and in good hands with Nicholas right from the start. He cares about his client's and his focus is always to find a way to win even when things look bleak. Thanks Nick. You will not find a more skillful, trustworthy and hard working lawyer than him!read more

Nicholas was amazing in having my charges dropped at the 1000 Finch Court. Originally I was facing jail time for an assault causing bodily harm charge. After hiring Nicholas to fight for me and explain the situation to the court he was able to convince the crown to drop the case. My result was no criminal record and no probation. This exceeded all of my expectations because all the other lawyers that I talked to before I hired Nicholas told me that I would be lucky not to go to jail. Nicholas has proven time and time again that he is the best criminal lawyer in Toronto. His price was higher but his results made it worthwhile.read more

On top of being an exceptional lawyer, he's very personable and friendly. His assistant Michelle is great too.

Very well mannered , punctual and experienced lawyer who understands winning your case is the first priority.

I was first referred to Nicholas by a close friend after he had seen his reviews. My situation was a complicated one in regards to a Driving under the Influence charge I received on December 2017. Based on the events that took place on that night, I was incredibly confused as to how I could proceed with the courts. After meeting with Nicholas, I was incredibly confident in his abilities as a law professional. He assessed my situation with a great deal of focus and efficiency, while providing me with his full attention at any time I felt the need to call on him. During the court proceedings, I was very happy with his professionalism and case research skills. He was confident in his ability to execute a solid defense on my behalf and as a result, had all my charges dismissed. I would not hesitate to call upon his help once again or to reccomend his skills to anyone else. I couldn't be more thankful for his advice and skills as a law professionalread more

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).read more

I was referred to Nicholas by a friend of mine who had hired him a few years ago and was happy with his services/results. After hiring Charitsis Law and Nicholas in particular, I can honestly say that his positive Google reviews and past client recommendations are 100% accurate. Nicholas is a true fighter for his clients. He will not settle for second place and in my experience he fights to get the BEST results possible. He was at times difficult to get a hold of because he's in court every single day but I never felt out in the dark about the status of my file since his Legal Assistant was constantly updating me regarding my case. If I needed an in person meeting with him I was never denied the opportunity to meet at the office I just needed to book it in advance. My case was resolved even better than I expected and Nicholas made sure to destroy my fingerprints, photos and police records of arrest. Extremely satisfied with his office. Thank you Nicholas.read more

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.

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.read more

When I first came to Charitsis Law with my criminal charge of refusal to provide a breathalyzer sample, I was in a pretty bad place. Minimizing the trouble that was headed my way from this charge had become my only priority in life. I went with Charitsis Law because I could tell that they were going find my best-case scenario. At the time, we all understood that my best-case result was most likely going to be a dangerous driving charge, which was still not pretty.Imagine my relief when my lawyer called me soon after with a big grin that I could hear across the phone, saying that he was going to get me acquitted. When the crown's deal came across the table my lawyer's comprehensive explanation of the situation allowed me to confidently refuse their offer, and proceed to trial.At trial, my lawyer made our case quick and to-the-point. There were no frills and no dwelling on talking points. He knew well both the precedents and the pertaining laws, and let them do the talking. Waiting for the judge to voice his decision was probably the most stressful moment of my life, but when he said, "Andrew, you're free to go", I knew I made the right decision.I am sure that not every lawyer would have discovered the detail that got me acquitted, but Charitsis Law found it.read more

I was charged with impaired over 80 and it was my second offence . I went to see Nicholas right away . I found Nicholas to be very honest and upfront about my case. In our first consultation I was advised what the crown would be looking for in the event that I was found guilty. I left the office feeling pretty low as I was likely to serve time and also have a 3 year absolute driving prohibition.Nicholas provided me with my options and gave me time to think about how I wanted to proceed. In the end I took his professional advise and pleaded guilty to a resolution that I feel he worked very hard to get. In the end I walked out of court with no jail time and a 9 month suspension. The results were amazing and actually exceeded my expectations of what could have resulted from these charges. Thanks again Nicholas for all your hard work. I would also like to thank all of your support staff that are a pleasure to deal with.read more

When most people think of a good lawyer, they think of their favourite TV personality. However, when I think of a great lawyer, I think of Nicholas Charitsis. I was charged with a terrible crime and every step of the way through the legal system, Mr. Charitsis was there for me. From walking into his office and meeting his great staff to receiving my resolution, it was as great of an experience as it could have been. All of my emails, texts and phone calls were answered in a timely manner, All my questions were always answered, He was always empathetic to my fears and concerns if I was found guilty (which he assured me I would not have been - which turned out to be right) and he was generally amazing to talk to and work with. I would recommend Mr. Charitsis to anyone facing charges in his realm of over 15 years experience. I knew exactly what I was looking for in a lawyer, and I got all I could hope for and more. If you need help, call Mr. Nicholas Charitsis.read more

I hired Nicholas after reading all of his reviews and recommendations given to me by others that had used him. I needed help with a domestic assault case and wasn't sure if he got involved with these matters. Fortunately , he was willing to take the case, and I'm sure glad he did. He went out of the way treating me like a family member, and made sure that everything was going to be ok. It's rare that justice is found in cases with domestic assault , but Mr. Charitsis made sure everyone understood the facts and how the complaint was exaggerated by the police. I would absolutely recommend Nicholas to anyone who is looking for a sharp skilled lawyer with the compassion of a friend more like family. Thank you for everything.read more

Nicholas is an excellent lawyer that helped me out of an extremely bad situation. I was charged with over 80 and blew over 180. The circumstances of my case were very unique but he demonstrated he had a strong grasp of the situation and already had plans formulating on how to fight it. Throughout the time before going to trial he and his team kept me up to date on what our strategy would be and the outcome of all possible scenarios. Nicks skills as a lawyer truly shine when he is in the courtroom. His presentation of facts and cross examinations are well articulated and well researched. He cited many case laws to support dismal of my charge and even managed to find one obscure case that had details very similar to mine. Nick presented written submissions for the judge and was kind enough to provide me a copy. After reading the submission and seeing the quality of it I felt confident that my charge would be dropped. I was acquitted of my charge and I owe it all to him and his team. Thank you Nick and team for fighting my case to achieve the best results possibleread more

To be honest I was afraid to write this review because it would involve me admitting the weakest parts of me. A few years ago, I went through a phase of doing drugs to escape the reality of life. I was arrested, and the police tried to charge me with possession (two counts – schedule 1 and schedule 3). I went to many lawyers, and all of them said id have a record. My brother is a lawyer and even the lawyers he recommended, said I stand no change against the charges. After a lot of research, I met Nick. After a 30-minute meeting, he managed to calm my nerves and give me hope for the future. Nick got me the best result after my first arrest, many lawyers said it wouldn’t be possible. That inspired me to quit my mall job, go back to school at the age of 26 and land an even better job. Recently, I got in some trouble again, but much worst than the first time. I immediately reached out to Nick and only to him, I knew my charges were so bad that I was afraid he wouldn’t take my case. He got me a deal that I prayed for, he got me the best possible result. I have blind faith in this man, he is not only the best lawyer but an actual good person. He is a fancy lawyer, but he doesn’t only care about money, he cares about his clients. I was looking at jail time, a permanent criminal record, a licence suspension for a minimum of one year. He cared about my case and I couldn’t be happier with the results. My second arrest was bad, they only charged me with 3 things even though it could have been more. Nick didn’t care about money and just the legal stuff, he actually talked to me about how to improve my life and was concerned as a person for me. I appreciate him so much and have the highest level of respect for him. I knew if anyone could help me, it would be only him. This world broke my heart, but nick restored my faith in humanity. I know people say he charges a lot but honestly, he is worth every penny. This kind of stuff, you can’t put a price on. He got me the best result both times, I was looking at losing my respect as a person, at work and in my community. Out of a million lawyers, you’ll only meet one like nick. Each time I started to panic, he calmed me down, he treated me like a person, not like a criminal. I’ve done bad things in my life, but I’ve also done good, I feel like because of all the good I’ve done, I became lucky enough to have him represent me. I honestly can’t say enough good things about him, I’m forever grateful. This is the first review I’ve written in my life, just wanted people to know how great he is.read more

This man saved my future and my life. I had a horrible case and was terrified that I would get a very bad sentence because of the facts in my disclosure. I needed the most qualified and experienced lawyer that I could find. Nicholas is who I contacted after searching for a legal representative and I am SO THANKFUL TO HIM because he got me a plea deal that I didn’t even think was an option for me. After presenting my disclosure to me I turned red in the face because I knew I was screwed. I accepted jail time in my head already and accepted defeat BUT then Nicholas told me what he negotiated with the crown and my jaw almost dropped. The deal was honestly too good to be true in my mind but I trusted the expertise of Nicholas and happily let him lead the way. He told me what I needed to do and on my final court date I got the plea deal that he negotiated for me as my sentence. I nearly cried because the details of my case were stacked against my favor so high that I thought I would lose everything. Nicholas is a MASTER of his craft and to an untrained eye it looks as though he’s using magic spells to win cases but he’s not. He’s just that dam good. My case wasn’t won by luck. It was won because Nicholas is a hyper competent DUI lawyer with insane skills. I’m so happy that I chose him to represent me in court and I’m going to recommend him to EVERYONE I KNOW who needs to handle a DUI case. Honestly people, if you’re currently searching for a DUI lawyer then Nicholas is your guy. Take it from me and the other 100+ 5 star reviews this man has. These aren’t paid reviews. Nicholas seriously saved my life and I didn’t need to write this for him but I am because I will forever be grateful for his role in my life. HIRE NICHOLAS CHARITSIS AND YOU WILL WIN YOUR CASE!!!!!! P.S - A bunch of my friends have gotten DUI charges before and the details of their cases were nowhere near as bad as mine. They all got worse sentences than me because they chose to hire cheap legal representation. I paid Nicholas $7000 for the whole case and he pulled a miracle out of his behind. Good deal? HELL YEAH!read more

I was recently charged with impaired driving causing bodily harm. This was my first time ever to have any problems with the police. It was very frightening since my readings were more than double the legal limit. The Crown attorney was originally looking to put me in jail for 6 months. This was the most frightening prospect that I had ever faced in my life. After researching the internet for weeks I finally decided to hire the Law Office of Nicholas Charitsis because of his more than 150 five star Google reviews. I have to admit that his fees were much higher than many of the other lawyers that I interviewed but I couldn't risk taking any chances with my future as I am not a Canadian citizen and I also faced deportation. From the moment that I hired Nicholas, I knew that I was in good hands. He was extremely professional and it was extremely obvious that he is an expert in the law of DUI's. After 4 court appearances, Nicholas was able to convince the prosecutor not to move forward with the impaired driving causing bodily harm charge. My prospects became much better since Nicholas was able to take jail time off the table. Next thing that happened was the most unexpected. Nicholas convinced the crown attorney not to proceed with the impaired driving charge... I couldn't believe it... My charges were reduced to a traffic ticket because Nicholas exposed severe violations to my rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights. I am eternally grateful to Nicholas for everything he has done for me. There is no way I would have gotten out of this mess if it wasn't for his determination to help me and get the best possible result. Thank you Nicholas. You will now be my lawyer for life...read more

A family member was charged with impaired and over 80. I found Nicholas Charitsis Law office through an internet search and we hired him because of the large number of positive reviews he has received online. To be honest, up until the trial I was worried we’d made the wrong decision and the reviews might be exaggerated or false…but once the trial started I knew the reviews were 100% accurate and that we had made the right decision. Nicholas is a gifted trial lawyer. He is highly skilled and his cross examinations of crown witnesses was incredible to watch. The end result after a three day trial was not guilty on both counts due to lack of evidence and a Charter breach. Nick's fees are higher than most lawyers we interviewed but he is worth every penny and we strongly recommend him.read more

Where do I start? When I got into an incident I didn't know how to overcome it. I'm known to have quite the anxiety attacks and I'll admit I'm not someone who get's into trouble but then again who doesn't say that? Getting to the point here, I did my research for over a month in finding the perfect Lawyer, who will not only keep me out of jail but will also make sure I get my license back. Being where I am now in my life and not being able to drive, doesn't give you many options (career wise) that is. I contacted Mr. Charitsis and he told me to contact his associate Mr. Thoma who dropped my 44 over charge on the HWY within months (very cost effective). Aside from that, I had to retain Mr. Charitsis to keep me out of jail (Mr. Thoma told me to contact Mr. Charitsis as he will be better at getting my situation resolved) I am someone who does their research and inquiries very thoroughly and when I came across Mr. Charitsis I realized I had nothing to be scared of, not a doubt in mind. When I retained him, I knew he was expensive but can you put a price on your future/ career or life? Of course not. On September 11, 2018 Mr. Charitsis not only reduced my fine immensely, he kept me out of jail. Although to retain him might cost you quite a bit, you should know they offer payment plans but also you should know that he keeps his word. By the way, if you ever feel like he's not as responsive; you don't need to because his associates are attentive and if you ever need questions answered, they are the go to people like for example, Amy is one of the associates you'd be dealing with, she's great at her job and when someone says "communication is key," believe them because she keeps you posted through phone calls and emails. All in all, Mr. Charitsis and his team are profound, from my experience he is someone who not only knows how to do his job well but he is someone who gives you a guarantee but even more he understands you. I remember when I first met him face to face, I started to cry and get all emotional but he makes you feel strong and confident, knowing my past incident was going to ruin my life he automatically flipped the switch with a smile and courage. Thank you so much Mr. Charitsis and thank you to your team as well.read more

I'm extremely satisfied with the results and service provided by Nicholas Charitsis Law firm. My DUI charges were dropped after trial in March 2018. 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.read more

I have had the most pleasant experience with Nicholas Charitsis as my lawyer. He is the best rated dui lawyer in Canada for a reason. An absolute pitbull in the courtroom who fights to WIN. I'm so glad he was in my corner and fought to beat my case. His office was very responsive to all of my inquiries and I was kept in the loop every step of the way. Yes, his fees are higher than most lawyers in this field of work but I can say with 100% confidence that it is well worth it to hire him and not go with the cheaper fees of other law firms. Had I lost my case it would have cost me over $50,000 in fines, administrative penalties and increased insurance premiums to get my driver's license reinstated. Not to mention losing my Nexus pass to cross the border into the USA. With so much riding on the outcome of my case I had to choose the BEST in the industry. I am forever grateful to him and his team for EVERYTHING they have done for me.read more

My experience with Nicholas Charitsis as my lawyer has been beyond amazing. He was extremely professional when handling my DUI case at the Brampton court. Nick was able to find problems with the crown attorney case and destroyed the police officers testimony on the stand. True story...Nicholas made the police officer cry while under cross examination after showing misconduct in the way I was treated...apparently this was not the first time that CONSTABLE MARKS abused his power in the course of an arrest. Nicholas found all the key points in law and was quickly able to respond to the crown attorneys evidence. My charges were both dismissed after trial and I give all the credit to Nicholas. His hard work does not go unoticed. All the judges know him and respect him ...I have seen it first hand. 10 STAR REVIEW FOR HIMread more

Well known by the judges and crown attorneys in all of the GTA courts you will not find any better representation than his. The fees he charges are worth every dollar.read more

This is the honest to God truth. You get what’s you pay for. With Nicholas Charitsis his fees were high but the results were worth it. My DUI and Domestic cases were both dropped after I hired him to represent me. Other lawyers were quoting lower fees but couldn’t guarantee the results. With Nicholas I had my mind at ease because he promises everything would be dropped. I’m sure glad I trusted him because it made the entire process easy and painless. He attended all of my Court dates and updated me every step office the way by regular and consistent emails. His law clerk Montana is incredibly helpfully and pleasant. The only criticism I have is that if you want to speak with Nicholas directly on the phone it takes a few days for him to return calls. It’s a small price to pay for the excellent results he delivers. Even though Montana is always available to answer questions about the case sometimes it feels better to get the news from the man himself. Obviously he’s so busy for a reason. Nicholas truly is the bests criminal lawyer in Toronto.read more

Nicholas is a fantastic lawyer, not only was he extremely professional and knowledgeable but also compassionate. He genuinely cares about his clients and works hard to help them. He doesn't "sugar coat" and give false hope but instead fights to give his clients the best outcome! I highly recommend him.

Thank you Nick for everything!read more

Nicholas is the best lawyer in Toronto. He worked hard to drop all of my friends charges. The crown attorney was trying hard to put him in jail. Even at the trial after the case was dismissed Nicholas approached the police officer that charged my friend to get his name cleared after the domestic assault trial finished all charges dropped. We then got the person who made up the charges arrested for Fraud. Wow I can't believed how amazing Nicholas is!read more

You will never meet a more honest individual who actually cares about people and puts his clients first. I went to see Nicholas about a criminal charge that I was stressing over for months. He came up with a solution right away. He didn't even charge me for his time. I should have gone to see him sooner than I did because I left his office feeling calm and confident about my situation. I eventually hired him and he was able to get all of my charges dropped. I would recommend him to anybody in need of the best criminal lawyer.read more

From the start Nicholas had his word . He promised me everything will be okay and we will get those charges gone . He stuck with his word and he fought for me . I had false accusations against me for something I didn't even do . I endured the pain and suffering for months, at times I felt hopeless. Some nights I couldn't even sleep. Nicholas was reassuring , clear , and confident . He knew what he had to get done and he did . If you have any case leave it to him ...you will not be disappointed. The most rewarding part for him is helping people out of his own good heart like he helped me . I would also like to thank his law clerk Montana for being so patient and understanding . Thank you Nicholas Charistis to you for giving me my life back .read more

This is how good Nicholas Charitsis is: Today he got my case thrown out at the old city hall court. He literally explained the law to the judge and the prosecutor and took complete control of the process. I was sitting in the courtroom thinking this guy is THE MAN and he's MY LAWYER . I couldn't have been happier. By hiring him I got piece of mind and excellent results. Had to switch lawyers from another firm until I found him. Thank goodness I did!read more

I was arrested for DUI and foolishly thought that I could deal with the case on my own. After several useless court appearances and getting ridiculed by a judge it was time for me to hire the services of a professional. I searched and searched until I found the best rated DUI lawyer in Toronto. I called the law offices of Nicholas Charitsis and was greeted by his friendly assistant Montana Brown. She was able to set up a meeting with Nicholas within 24hours. When I arrived at his office there was a bit of a wait since Nicholas was running late with his other meetings. His assistant was very pleasant and made me feel extremely comfortable while I was in the waiting room. Nicholas then came out to greet me and brought me into the meeting room. He was polite and very professional. He meticulously walked me through the process of my criminal case by mapping everything out on a large whiteboard. He explained each and every step of what he would do and how long it would take to do it. It was amazing! I felt completely informed and finally knew what to expect for the case. After everything was said and done my charges were dropped and I saved my driver's licence. Nicholas is truly the best DUI lawyer out there. All of the positive reviews are completely true.read more

I have to say that I am very happy that I hired Nicholas for my domestic assault case. This is my honest review. I found Nicholas very approachable and likeable. After interviewing several lawyers before him, I decided to hire Nicholas the same day I met him. He had a lineup of clients waiting for him, which I liked because it gave me confidence that he was a good lawyer. He wasn't on call for me all the time but I found him to communicate fairly effectively. He would sometimes respond to my e-mails at late hours, which is something I found to be very good because it showed him to be a hard worker. Sometimes I needed to contact him a couple times because he was busy but it ended up being ok. It was definitely a small sacrifice. He did communicate very well in general. He has an amazing memory and somehow remembers my case when I speak to him on the phone without him even having his notes. His work is top notch. He really takes the time to make sure everything is in order. I am very satisfied.read more

Nicholas has helped me and family out a few times in the past. He's always easy to get a hold of and ready to help out when we need him. His fees are reasonable and he is completely honest about what the outcome will likely be. Each time I've used him, Nicholas has exceeded my expectations with the results. My family and I trust him 100% and would recommend his office without hesitation. He's the best lawyer in the 905 and 416 for sure.read more

This guy is awesome. I had 9 prior convictions for driving under suspension and a new charge of dangerous driving. I don't know how he did it but Charitsis kept me out of jail. He is an incredible lawyer. When we finished my case at the Newmarket court his colleagues were giving him high fives for getting the result that he did in my case. I should also mention that his assistant Montana is extremely helpful and pleasant. She talked me through the whole ordeal and made me feel safe and confident that Nicholas would come through for me. I give him all the credit for solving this terrible situation I was in. He is worth the extra costsread more
