Nick Charitsis.
Two words.
Guardian. Angel.
I was ripped out of my life and thrown into the system, it looked dark, hopeless, and I had heavy, heavy charges brought against me. I had no lawyer, I didn't know Nick, and my friend instroduced him to me. He is the reason I spent next-to-no-time in jaii. He's the reason I got my house back and the bail amended. He's the reason I got a stellar deal negotiated for me, and an quick, early, painless resolution. He didn't waste my time or his, he and Valerie & Michelle listened to me patiently and understandingly when I expressed my concerns. Not only all that, but one of my favourite things is that they made sure I knew what was going on, was clear and comfortable with the court processes which are sometimes confusing. He also worked out an understanding payment plan for me, because I was caught a bit off guard by everything that happened. Talk about love.
Nick Charitsis and co. are a different breed of lawyer, and the city could use way, way, way more like this.
