Insights From Our Attorneys

One of the biggest misconceptions about criminal defense is that every case is headed for trial. In reality, a significant part of our job is evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of the evidence, understanding how different District Attorney's Offices approach particular offenses, and positioning our client for the best possible outcome.

In serious felony cases, local courtroom experience matters. Knowing how judges manage evidentiary issues and how prosecutors in different counties evaluate violent offenses can influence litigation strategy from the earliest stages.

Don’t Just Take Our Word For It

We’ve helped hundreds of clients through the worst moments of their lives. Here is what a few of them had to say.
“

A year ago i recieved a call from Jo-anna, asking if i was ready to handle my case. I wasnt sure so she mentioned she will call me in a couple months to check in. A whole year later of putting her calls aside, i decide im ready and still she calls. Now, my case has been settled completely in my favor, thanks to everyone at Nieves Law Firm who handled the case. I wish i had done so sooner but glad its over with now. They went above and beyond i thought was possible, they genuinely care, very detail oriented and best of all, honest. Cant thank you enough. Thank you everyone at Nieves law firm.

We were very pleased with our decision to use NLF. Jeremy was great. Very responsive and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this firm to all of my family and friends who needed an attorney. Very attentive and professional firm. It is apparent they are well respected in the courtroom and very knowledgeable.

Since we did not have any dealings with the court system until this, we were a bit skeptical in finding the right attorney. We felt they walked is through everything perfectly. Their attention to detail and responsiveness was above and beyond what we expected.

Nieves law firm was there for me when I needed them the most. They were very professional and very thorough in my case handling. My situation was resolved on the first hearing. I wish I had hired them initially and most probably I would not have to go through hell.
