Practice Philosophy

I don’t speak in absolutes. I speak in facts. I speak with purpose. And I stand behind every word. I don’t rely on pressure or promises. I rely on the truth- and the work that follows. I believe in standing beside my clients with honesty, with strategy, and with the respect that every person deserves - no matter their circumstances. My role is not to soften the truth, or to dramatize it. My role is to prepare, to protect, and to guide. At Vitale Law, we don’t defend case files- we defend people. And we do it with clarity, conviction, and care.

  • Radha Rothrock Criminal defense lawyer

    “I endorse this lawyer. I was opposing counsel against Mr. Vitale in several cases when I worked for the State of Florida in Collier County, Florida. He is not afraid to go to trial. It didn't matter if he was court appointed or privately retained. He spent time on his cases and followed his clients' marching orders on whether they wanted to go to trial or to settle the case. Many attorneys would not take a case to trial because they made more money if they cut a deal early but he wasn't one of those attorneys. If you are looking for an attorney who will fight for you and will go to trial, call Mr. Vitale”

  • Thomas Gorman Criminal defense lawyer

    "I have known Nico Vitale for years and have had several cases against him. He is exceptional lawyer who provides aggressive representation and does so with integrity and professionalism."

  • “Nico has that rare quality you don’t see enough in this field—quiet confidence backed by real experience. He doesn’t oversell, doesn’t dramatize, and doesn’t miss a thing. He’s thoughtful with his words, surgical with his strategy, and deeply committed to doing things the right way. It’s no surprise his clients trust him—and it’s why I do too.”
