Fellow attorneys often described him as “tough but fair”—a lawyer who fought hard but always conducted himself with professionalism and grace.
Nick’s passion for the law was rivaled only by his deep care for those he served. He believed that everyone deserved a strong defense and equal access to justice, regardless of their background or circumstances. It’s that belief that inspired generations of younger attorneys who looked to him as a mentor and role model.
Outside of the courtroom, Nick was a devoted family man and a loyal friend. Those close to him remember his generosity, his humor, and the quiet strength that grounded every aspect of his life and work. He was the type of person who made time for others, even in the busiest seasons of his career.

His legacy, however, will continue to live on through the people he fought for, the legal battles he championed, and the team he built at Leventis Law Firm.
