About

I am Board Certified in Criminal Trial Law by the Florida Bar.  Only Board Certified Lawyers can refer to themselves as experts.  There are more than 100,000 lawyers in Florida and less than 400 lawyers have that certification.   My journey in Gainesville began in 1995 when I became a Gator in undergraduated school.  In law school, I fell in love with trial work.  I was on the trial team and found my first job out of school with one of my trial team coaches.  Soon after graduating, I started coaching trial team myself and began focusing on providing criminal defense for people in Gainesville.   Today I still provide criminal defense to those accused of crimes.  I also use my courtroom skills to help people injured in automobile accidents.  I also enjoying spend time teaching at the law school and meeting with local community groups to discuss issues in the law.   I really enjoy working in and being a part of this community.  I have spent more than half my life in Gainesville and I do truly consider myself lucky to call this home.   Nick Z.

The services I received from Nick Zissimopulos were excellent. He handled my case like a true professional and got the best possible outcome I could have asked for. I was always made aware of the next steps and felt confident that he would handle it. Years later, when applying for future jobs, Nick made himself available to answer any and all question in regards to my case. If you happen to find yourself or a family member needing representation in Florida. I highly recommend his services. You will not be disappointed.

I called him because of two cases I had with traffic court. He actually said it might be better to just go to court and not hire an attorney based on what he was seeing. I wanted to be safe and went ahead and hired him because he was not pushy or telling me nonsense. He handled my first case incredibly smoothly and am going in front of the judge tomorrow for my second case. He has been patient, forthcoming, and not told me to shut up despite asking him a million questions because I am nervous as heck. He is well worth the cost to get your case handled well.

My son became hooked on drugs and got in to trouble with the law. This was very difficult for our family. I contacted Nick and was immediately comforted by his knowledge, professionalism, and compassion. In his representation of my son, it was obvious that Nick cared about both of us Nick worked hard to get a sentence for my son that included a #1 drug rehab program.. If you want expert legal advice and someone who cares about you as a person, contact Nick Zissimopulos - you will be very glad that you did!!

Nick Zissimopulos took my case of VOP at termination date due to restitution not being completely satisfied. Nick was straight forward about everything the State and Judge would be looking at. He was understanding of my circumstances that brought me to the VOP. His professionalism and character are well beyond extraordinary! He won my case, the probation was terminated with my balance becoming a civil matter. After 15 years of dealing with this, he obtained my freedom! I highly recommend him! Thank you Nick!!!

Nick and his partner Dan assisted my family following an auto accident. Nick and his entire firm were truly caring about my needs. They put me first. Checked up on what I needed and worked hard to get a result that helped me and my family. I would highly recommend Nick and his staff. Awesome folks to work with.

Absolutely thrilled with the outcome and level of professionalism and personable manner Nick displayed with me and my case. If you feel you may need a private lawyer rather than a public defender, choose Glassman & Zissimopulos, I can promise you the price is worth it. After speaking with my public defender, I had a feeling the case (which was pretty much a garbage case, regardless of the fact I was facing a very serious charge) would not be settled the way it should have been. I called for my free consultation and not only was Nick kind and knowledgeable, the staff was incredible and supportive and I didn't feel judged giving the basis of my case. I have (fortunately) never had to hire an attorney before this and honestly had negative preconceived notions about lawyers. Those notions were immediately put to rest after speaking with him the first time. I had called over a dozen local lawyers and trusted my gut with Nick and I'm so glad I did. I know that no matter what you may be facing, Nick will be honest and forward about your options, what's more than likely expected, and he will do everything he can to quickly and efficiently expedite the process and lessen your charge(s)/outcome. While my case ended up being dismissed, I am quite certain this would not have happened had I stayed with my public defender, as my case involved actually getting a background on the situation and not just relying on what specifically had happened at that moment of my incident. I wish I could give higher rating than 5 because this law firm certainly deserves it. He is one of the highest rated for a reason, if you have the means, GO WITH HIM! I promise you will not be disappointed and your money will be well spent. If you are facing a felony charge like I was, the rest of your life can and will be dramatically altered in major aspects. Defend yourself with the best, don't take a chance on a free lawyer (if you can), and I can assure you the worst case scenario will be far from your worries with Nick.

After meeting with Nick and discussing my case, I felt very comfortable having him represent me. He went above and beyond to help me with everything I needed. I’m truly grateful to have found and retained Nick. The case against me was dropped due to his hard work and dilligence. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a criminal law attorney.
