About

My parents are from Modugno, Italy.  They moved to Canada in the 1950's.  I was born in Toronto, Canada.  I have two brothers.  When we were young my family moved to the Bahamas then Florida, Costa Rica and Venezuela.  We mainly lived in Miami.  I attended Chaminade High School in Hollywood, Barry University in Miami Shores and St. Thomas University School of Law in Miami Lakes. I married my wife in 1996 and we have two children.  I was admitted to practice in Florida in 1998 and was hired by the Public Defender's Office in 1999.  During my 4 years as a Public Defender I was assigned to work in Juvenile the Misdemeanor and for my last two years I worked solely on felony cases.  I left the Public Defender's Office in 2003 and have been a sole practitioner since 2004.

Nico V absolutely resolved my case with a favorable outcome for me! Even with my priors and questionable history! I paid a fine and nothing went on my record!

When I contacted Nico to address a court hearing I was upset and afraid what the court system would do to me. I was in a facility awaiting my appearance in court. My family worried they would lose me to system. But my attorney explained to my wife how under his care the outcome wouldn't be as bad as we thought. He gave the confidence I need to get through the wait of the appearance before the Judge. I paid a modest fee. Then a day before my day In court I They released me to my happy and overjoyed family. It was so nice to be home and safe. I just know that without my prestige Lawyer, Nico Vitale, I would have been doomed to much time in that dreaded facility. Thank you Nico Vitale for money well spent.

Nico and I first met when he was assigned as my Public Defender. This was over 15 years ago and he kicked ass even then. I could tell he was in the process of making a name for himself because both times Nico was assigned as my Public Defender he either got my charges completely thrown out or substantially reduced. He also has a great disposition and listens to what his clients have to say.

Nico is a great defense lawyer and very effective. He communicates with the client every step of the way, is available during nights and weekends, and works diligently to defend his client. This is the third time that my family has used this lawyer with great success!

I have been blessed by finding a professional, diligent, hard working and genuinely caring attorney Nico Vitale P.A.. I hired Nico in 2005 for the first time for a very sticky and scary (to me) legal issue. He resolved my issue so quickly and thoroughly; using all applicable laws with such intelligence and finesse, without haste or any waste of the courts time; as I have personally witnessed prior attorneys I have known to do. Nico had my case resolved in less than 2 weeks, and I was so amazed at his work and his approachability I was speechless. Nico goes far beyond what he as an attorney has to do. He takes that extra step as to keep you informed of all processes, what they mean and why he is using them. I was so scared about my case. After consulting with him within the first 10 minutes of a first call he educated me about what he would do and put all fears to rest. He consistently kept me up to date. Anytime I had a question or several, throughout that process I called him; and each and every single call, if he was in the office, I was immediately given the answer or if he wasn't at the office, he would immediately call me with the answer(s) to my inquiries. Nico would call me back each time without hesitancy within the same day. I was sure I was driving him crazy by all of my calls and questions, yet most graciously and compassionately, he took as much time with me as I needed to help me understand each process that happened during that time. As a soon to be law student, I have learned that the biggest mistake attorneys make is not being available for their clients and notoriously known for not returning calls in a timely fashion. Nico was not anywhere near this "type" of man, rather he superseded all of my previous notions of how any attorney could ever be. To me having had contact with dozens of attorneys from my schooling and otherwise, Nico is the epitome of what a picture perfect, too good to be real (but is real), passionate and truly sincere attorney of our what legal system is supposed to be. He treats you as if you are his own family and I will always refer anyone needing help with a legal issue, directly to him without a second of thought. My next review will shortly follow this one as I have hired Nico once again this past July 2013.
