My husband was arrested for injury to a child. His job and his ability to provide for us were on the line. The cops did not do a very thorough investigation, and we were going up against their reactionary decision to arrest. We hired Nathaniel, who did a very thorough investigation and collected evidence to tell my husband's side of the story. Even though the prosecutor felt strongly about the case, Nathaniel was able to persuade the grand jury to no-bill the case. Nathaniel never promised anything to us other than that he would try hard on my husband's case. He did, and the proof is in the pudding. I highly recommend Nathaniel.

Mr. Nathaniel did a great job handling my case. He was extremely professional, prompt and detail oriented with every action taken. I highly recommend him to anyone for legal advice and assistance in future cases.

My husband, and the father of our son, was arrested for Assault, Failure to Stop and Give Information, and Evading Arrest. Basically, he got into a fender bender and some bad people tried to take advantage of him, because when they heard his accent, they assumed he was here illegally (he's not here illegally). The cops did not see what was actually going on of course because they arrested him and charged him with three cases. Nathaniel worked extremely hard over the course of several months with several different prosecutors to compile evidence and tell my husband's side of the story. In the end, all three cases were dismissed. This case was very important to us because it could have had immigration consequences for my husband--he could have been deported. I recommend Nathaniel to anybody looking for a criminal attorney.

I had no criminal history and was facing up to 20 years in prison. Nathaniel worked quickly and put together evidence that persuaded the prosecutor to dismiss my case. He was always available to answer questions and his knowledge of how the prosecutor's office works (Because he used to be a DA) really made a difference for me. I am very grateful for the freedom he gave me and his hard work on my case.

Always available to answer questions. Our grandson backed into and off-duty police officer and we so wanted our grandson to not have a felony conviction. He was diligent in gathering evidence to make this happen. He was able to work to well with prosecutors for a good outcome. The judge said he had not seen a deal like this before.

I was charged with prostitution. I have been in this country a long time, but even a deferred adjudication on this case would have made me deportable. I was terrified that I would be separated from my family. Nathaniel understood how serious this case was to me and worked very hard on it. He was always available to meet and answer my questions. He worked hard on my case and ended up getting me a pre-trial intervention, which has no immigration consequences and means my case will be dismissed. I did not have to plead guilty. The judge told me that my lawyer had done an excellent job and that this was the best thing possible.

I hired Mr. Pitoniak fairly late into my case, because I was getting fed up with the lawyer I hired originally. Best thing I could have ever done for myself. My previous and original lawyer did not care about my well being or best interests. I am a licensed medical professional who developed a substance abuse problem, and suffered legal consequences as a result. Despite my addiction, I always upheld strong moral values in all other aspects of my life. Not only did Nathaniel literally help save my life by convincing me to seek the treatment I didn't realize I needed to stay alive, but he also took time to study my case very thoroughly so that he could represent me so remarkably before the judge. He did such a fantastic job, and is viewed very respectably in the courtroom, that the judge decided to grant a deferred adjudication- something that was initially rejected by the prosecution. Had I stayed with my original lawyer that I hired before I hired Nathaniel, I would have never been so fortunate, nor would I have had a chance at staying sober to this day. Nathaniel was extremely on top of everything every step of the way, and never let anything slip through the cracks. He is an extremely passionate, sharp, and determined lawyer who genuinely cares about his work and his clients' well-being.

Needed an defense attorney due to a sting operation in Houston. I was from out of town and had many questions about if I would be going to jail, fined, etc. Nathaniel took my calls every time and assured me he would work to get me the best outcome. He was consistent in keeping me abreast of what is going on and what the next process would be. He was also at every court date and he told the judge every time that he was my representation. In the end he got me a pretrial diversion and this can be removed from my record. Better than I could of ever asked for.

When my husband and father of our baby got arrested, I was really worried that he would get deported. I chose Nathaniel to represent him because he seemed to care and to have a lot of experience. He told us what to expect without promising anything and knew what evidence was needed to help our case. He presented our case and seemed to be friendly with the prosecutors and court people, who dismissed my husband's case. Anybody looking for a lawyer should hire Nathaniel. My husband and I are truly grateful for all of his help.

My son made a bad decision in a moment of anger and was arrested over it. He admitted to doing it and I was worried what impact his case would have on his future. Nathaniel never promised any results to me, but it was clear that he knew exactly what the prosecutors would be looking for to justify a dismissal, and got to work quickly on the file before court, e-mailing the prosecutors with evidence and stopping by to chat with them to show what actually happened. He was able to show the whole story of the circumstances leading to my son's arrest, and the prosecutor dismissed his case on the first setting. I recommend Nathaniel Pitoniak to anyone looking to hire a criminal defense lawyer.

I was on felony probation when I picked up a misdemeanor case. I was worried about the effect the misdemeanor might have on my probation--whether they would revoke my probation and send me to prison. Nathaniel gave me clear directions on how to collect evidence and what to expect, and was able to get my case dismissed after he discussed my case with the prosecutor. His fee was very reasonable. I recommend Nathaniel to anybody looking for a criminal defense lawyer
