Colleague Recommendation, dated April 6, 2022
“…I wanted to immediately pass along my recommendation for an excellent Lowndes County criminal defense counsel – Nick Bajalia… I first worked with Nick extensively on a difficult case that he associated me on some time ago.

Potential Client, dated May 1, 2021
“I consulted with Mr. Bajalia and he was extremely polite and helpful when I talked to him about my current case. His fees are pretty high but he is going to prepare your case for trial no matter what so you would be getting what you pay for at the end of the road. I unfortunately did not have that amount of money to pay upfront, but he was still very helpful on giving me advice and even giving me recommendations on what options I could do and even told me he would be keeping me in his prayers about my case.”
Former Client, dated October 10, 2020
“Awesome Person and Attorney – Nick is a true professional and a very skilled attorney. When I hired Nick, I knew that he was one of, if not the, best lawyers in the area but I was surprised to see how down-to-earth that he was. Nick lives by the saying that “in order to be a good professional, you must first be a good person”. This is reflected in everything that Nick does, from the first time a person, like myself, walks through his door to the conclusion of the case. Even though he is a great attorney, I would easily have to say that he is an even better person.”
Former Client, dated October 10, 2020
“Nick is an awesome attorney! Unlike many lawyers, Nick truly cares about his clients as individuals. Nick’s knowledge of the law and level of preparedness and planning is second to none. Throughout the entire process, Nick stayed in contact with me about the progression of my case and carefully explained anything that I did not understand.”
Former Client, dated October 10, 2020

We are extremely please with the way are case was handled and gladly send are friends and family to Mr Nick”

“I went to Mr Bajalia’s firm after firing my another attorney. I walked into his office with files that were a mess. Michelle at the front desk immediately gave me appointment and asked I leave the files do Mr Bajalia could look them over. I showed up to my appointment and was pleasantly surprised each of the papers in the file were neatly placed in organized piles!! I had 2 cases with the attorney I fired and he left a mess. Mr Bajalia sat with me for 3 hrs explaining each and every case the problems and what options I had. I was very impressed with him he spoke in plain language that I could understand. My first impression was a professional, hard working honest person. As I was leaving I asked what did I owe he said nothing . He gave me a business card and said for me to call anytime 24 hrs a day if I need anything. This man is a true hero.”
Former Client, dated approx. 2019
“Nick did a wonderful job representing me in my court case. We hired him on short notice, so he was busy and had other big cases he was in the middle of, but he made me feel just as important as those. Answered any questions I had and even visited me on a Sunday. He was very thorough and on top of things. He did a great job. I appreciate everything he has done for me. If it wasn’t for Nick I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

“When I needed an attorney, I felt it a daunting task. Finding an attorney that I was comfortable with and who I believe would have my best interest in mind was challenging. I was very fortunate to have found the perfect attorney when I met with Nick Bajalia and his staff. They have a genuine caring and understanding of the circumstances of their potential clients and those they represent. Mr. Bajalia’s broad knowlege, extensive experience and connections in the legal community extend well beyond the local area. He was able to assist me in gaining the best legal counsel I could have hoped for. Being treated more like family than just a client has given me the confidence and assurance that my legal needs are in good hands. I strongly recommend Nick Bajalia as being among the finest example of what the legal profession has to offer.”
Former Client, dated February 16, 2019

Mr. Bajalia is honest, dedicated to the law profession, and has integrity in everything he does. Furthermore, his staff are easy to contact, and they too are just as helpful as Mr. Bajalia. Unlike some law firms, all documents are read by him before leaving the firm. Lastly, my favorite part of Mr. Bajalia is that his word is his bond, and his firm works diligently for all clients, whatever the circumstances.”

Colleague Review, dated September 24, 2018
“I recently met Nick M. Bajalia, Sr., who mediated a divorce case for one of my clients. Mr. Bajalia was very well prepared for the mediation, in that he was familiar with the facts of the case, and was well versed on the issues and applicable law. What really impressed me even more was his professionalism and diplomacy. These are vanishing skills in today’s world of expediency and profit margins, but Mr. Bajalia was the quintessential professional and diplomat who brought a refreshing level of civility and honor to the mediation. He is an experienced and seasoned lawyer who knows how to communicate thoughts and ideas effectively in order to achieve the best results. I would recommend his legal services to anyone looking for a good lawyer with a great personality, and who has the knowledge, experience and skills to achieve the best results for clients.”
Former Client, dated February 16, 2019

He offered any help I needed to resolve my cases. Mr Bajalia stated he is available 24 hrs a day just call. I would recommend him to anyone that needs helps”
Former Client, dated August 4, 2018
“After 40 years of searching for a life insurance policy that I bought years ago, I decided to hire Mr. Bajalia for help. Within 2 weeks, Mr. Bajalia and his staff located my missing policy. It turns out my policy had been sold to multiple companies over the years and was found in the new company’s “dead files.” Mr. Bajalia and his team were very helpful and courteous in resolving my case. His staff are very polite and will answer whatever questions you might have. Furthermore, Mr. Bajalia is one of the most knowledgeable attorneys in town, and his word is his bond. I will definitely hire Mr. Bajalia again without hesitation.”

“Works hard & is extremely knowledgeable – Nick was hired by me for a custody modification case. I had been in an out of court with the mother of my child fighting for parenting rights since the child was born. The mother had tried to take parenting rights away from me any chance she could get. Nick helped change our parenting plan to not only get what I was hoping for, he also helped get more. Nick and his staff are very attentive to detail, knowledgeable about law, and are dedicated. He is also quite honest and will give his expert advise to help, rather than just tell you what you want to hear. Overall, hiring him was one of the best decisions and I would be happy to recommend him to others.”

“He’s a good lawyer! This is an excellent office. In my case, Nick did a good job in representing my interests. Nick did an excellent job in preparing my case. He did not look at me as an easy payday. I was looked at for the person that I am. Nick always kept me informed. He was there for me as a friend, and he did not hold anything back. He told me all of the good and all of the bad. I was confident in following advice that I received from Nick. If I ever need a lawyer again, or if I know anyone that needs a lawyer, I will definitely call Nick. This is a great law firm!”

Former Client, dated November 30, 2017
“A+ Lawyer – I hired Nick to represent me in a Felony Criminal case. Nick and his legal team worked thousands of hours on my case. Nicks research team gathered hundreds case laws backing our case as well as put together a mock jury panel to see what potential jurors felt about our case. Basically, Nicks law firm is a well-oiled machine that will use every available asset there is to assist you. Nick took on a huge case that looked very bad on the news after the DA lied about the facts to the people. Everyone knows that DA’s, Lawyers and Judges all know each other and are to some extent friends. Nick never held back, friends or not he threw punch after punch exposing the DA of her incompetence and unethical charges. Nick outsmarted and outclassed the DA when he showed up in one of the pretrial hearings with what looked like half a library of case law and motions. After reading Nicks motions and knowing the facts the Judge scolded the DA in open court and told her “either you can make all this go away, or I will”. The next day all charges were dropped. Many Lawyers wouldn’t have gone as far and ruffled feathers like he did. Nick didn’t care about his future dealings with the DA, all he cared about was me and proving I was innocent. Nicks wife also spent countless hours comforting my wife through this whole situation, not sure how my wife would have made it without her. Nick, his wife and his legal team actually cared about us, we weren’t just a client to them. I would defiantly consider them all friends for life. You won’t find a better lawyer.”
Former Client, dated November 30, 2017
“In the “Nick” of time! I knew my first meeting with Mr. Bajalia that I had come to the right person. He noticed immediately that time limitations were running out. If I were to have a case, work had to be started immediately. Thankfully, Mr. Bajalia and his staff worked quickly and I did not fall prey to deadlines. Very satisfied with outcome of the case.”
Former Client, dated November 27, 2017
“An attorney with lots of heart. Mr. Bajalia recently helped me with a family legal matter. I contacted his office needing help rather quickly.

He was very empathetic to my situation, which made me feel very comfortable sharing details. I am most appreciative.”
Former Client, dated November 27, 2017

“My daughter was arrested in two separate incidents. Her father and I hired Nick Bajalia to represent her. Mr. Bajalia spent a lot of time with us all to explain the situation and what we could expect. It became apparent to me during our initial consultation that he is highly skilled and knowledgeable, and his sincere respect and concern for my daughter and our family shone through as well. My confidence has only solidified as I have seen Mr. Bajalia go above and beyond for us, which is very different from past personal experience i have had with other attorneys. I feel totally confident that Mr. Bajalia will get the best outcome possible for my daughter. One case has already been dismissed and I am very satisfied with how Mr. Bajalia continues to handle the other case and keeps our family informed. I highly recommend Mr. Bajalia and his firm and will most definitely retain him again if needed.”
Former Client, dated December 9, 2016
“If I could, I’d give Nick Bajalia 6 stars. He has exceedingly high quality work and genuine care. As a small business owner and entrepreneur, I read and scrutinize a variety of contracts and legal documents on a weekly basis. Having read and reviewed real prenuptial agreements and templates prior to engaging Nick Bajalia in the same task, I found Bajalia’s quality was so far superior, it was like night and day. I am simply so very impressed. In my opinion, the quality of work that Nick puts out is far superior than the typical lawyer in its comprehensiveness (well-strategized, no holes, and covers the non-obvious), organization, and readability (It’s easier to read and understand the entire document without wanting to shoot yourself). Nick is also highly personable and I get the sense that he genuinely cares. More uniquely, he was able to shape his services to accommodate my individual and unique situation. The end result as far less template-like than my prior experiences, and it seemed as if entire swaths of the document were written based on our phone conversations. So, while I certainly hope to avoid needing legal services, I know that when I need them, I am in good hands with Nick Bajalia.”
Former Client, dated December 8, 2016
“Mr. Bajalia is a very knowledgeable, honest attorney who gave his absolute best to represent my daughter. He not only knows what he is doing, but he cares very much about his clients.

Former Client, dated April 22, 2014
“It is with great honor and gratitude that I share my experience and recommendation for Mr. Nick Bajalia and his staff. My 18 year old son is a first year student at VSU and like many his age, he forgot about his moral, ethical, and Christian upbringing. It seems obvious to most that he is a “good kid”; he’s handsome, manurable and presents himself respectfully. Since this was his first time away from Mom and Dad, he tested his freedom and experienced what partying was like. He drank alcohol for the first time and began to drink often. He continued this self destructive path and did not fulfill his scholastic responsibilities (i.e. he flunked his first semester). He was caught and given a citation for underage drinking (minor in possession). Even after going to court, being put on probation, fined, and being ordered community service he continued to make one poor decision after another… “his brain fell out of his head”. He was a mess. By the time we (his parents) found out about any of it, he was calling from a jail cell. Our “shining star” of a son had been snatched out of class and taken to jail for violating a probation sentence that we had no prior knowledge of. To say that we were heartbroken is an understatement. We knew no one in the area, had no clue what to do and no one to call. I believe that it was divine intervention that led us to calling Mr. Bajalia. His response to my call was prompt and attentive. He listened carefully to all of the details that I knew and immediately made calls to gather more information to have a complete understanding of what had been happening with my son. He then quickly arranged a probation bond and secured my son’s release the next morning. Mr. Bajalia then accepted the time consuming task of working with my “strong-willed” (stubborn) son. He was relentless in getting to the truth. Even in his most straightforward and firm conversations with my son, he demonstrated compassion. He went above and beyond by taking the time to know that there was a change in my son. He could see that my son had great potential and a bright future as long as he got his act together. Mr. Bajalia was determined and would not quit until he had fulfilled his part in helping to “save a young life”. We later went to court and Mr. Bajalia used the truth to persuade the judge which resulted in my son not having to go back to jail. This is a man of great influence not only because he cares, but also because of his wisdom, experience, and impeccable character. He even worked with my son after court to ensure that his community service and probation was scheduled and completed. If you ever have the pleasure of meeting him and his staff, you will know what I mean when I say that in a world full of people who compromise their values and just don’t care about you; these people can restore your faith in humanity. I am not over exaggerating when I say that the members of Bajalia law firm make you feel like family. Through the use of his phenomenal analogies and personal experiences, he gave illustrations that poured valuable life lessons into my son. As I listened to him teach from the heart in a way that only experience will allow, I was in awe. I learned too. I appreciated every second with him and his staff and gleaned all that I could absorb. If he is willing to accept your case, know that you cannot go wrong with Mr. Bajalia. His practice is not just about a case and his clients are not just a paycheck. He gives a damn and his actions prove it. I am so humbled, thankful and impressed that I highly recommend Mr. Bajalia with NO reservation.”

“Mr. Bajalia helped turn my life around! Right before I turned 21 I got into some trouble at the local bars. I unfortunately was very immature at the time and did not make the best of decisions. Mr. Bajalia conversed with me for several hours when I met him to help me understand the impact my incident had on my life. He would not take me on as a client until he was confident I wanted to change and wanted to do it for not only me but everyone around me. Mr. Bajalia does his best to make sure his clients are fully committed before taking them on. This is because he spends so much time and hard work on his cases that he needs to know his clients are “on board” so no one’s time is wasted. During our conversations Mr. Bajalia was very personal and honest. In fact I had dinner with him and his wife after we had success in court. I would recommend Mr. Bajalia to anyone who needs a honest, faithful, and hardworking lawyer. He will do his best and use all his resources to fight for your case!”

“As a non-custodial father the odds were stacked against me by design. Working to remain a part of my children’s life became virtually impossible thanks to an ambivalent Georgia Family Court system, a vindictive ex-wife and the Gestapo-like authority of the Georgia Department of Family and Children Services. I was accused of child abuse against my own children. My ex-wife sought to sever my parental involvement with our children while demanding increased monthly child support payments. In the beginning I foolishly believed that the Georgia legal system and DFCS would treat both sides fairly. The cold reality is that both are designed to drive a wedge between children and parents. I approached many Valdosta attorneys but was consistently advised to ‘…give up…’ and admit to the false charges because ‘…the kids would get over it. The Bajalia Law Firm jumped into the middle of an out of control legal circus. Step by step they waged an aggressive defense of my case. After seven years of smoke and mirrors by the plaintiff Nick was ultimately successful in exposing the charges for what they were — lies told by an angry mother. Along the way Nick has become a trusted friend who understands that non-custodial parents face an uphill battle when dealing with the Georgia court system. I didn’t always agree with what Nick advised but a yes-man isn’t an attorney, they’re an expense. Nick, the Firm and his family have helped my children and myself begin to rebuild our relationship and I’m proud to say my oldest child now lives with me thanks to Nick’s steadfast commitment to promoting and preserving a healthy parent-child relationship.”

“Wrongful Death of My Dearly Departed Spouse (Civil Actions – July 2012) – Mr. Nick Bajalia represented me and my family (3 children) in the utmost professional and dignified way possible during the wrongful death of my spouse. This tragic legal case was caused by a driver while under the influence (DWI). Mr. Bajalia ensured my children and I were fully educated on the application of applicable laws and crucial decisions we had to make jointly. There were no “surprises for as legal actions and fees.” He constantly kept me informed not only on the civil action status, but the criminal as well. Mr. Bajalia…“goes the extra-mile” when we met…his legal counseling was very thorough which ensured there were no unanswered questions. He is very knowledgeable in legal statues for GA and FL. Additionally, he spent an exceptional amount of added time on the legal matters at-hand and in ascertaining status of the personal welling-being of my family and I (after-hours and on weekends). Hence, one of his many legal and personal philosophies is to “assist his clients to be better-off than before and after they entered his firm.” His legal practice and passionate pursuit of “justice for all” is evident in his flexibility to assist and make special arrangements and appointments with him and his staff for my family and I after hours and on weekends to accommodate our work & personal schedules. I can’t truly express in words…the not “Excellent,” but “Outstanding” legal representation and personal concerns of Mr. Bajalia throughout his legal representation. Some clients may suggest that Mr. Bajalia firm’s legal fees are somewhat high…however; “you get what you pay for!” Mr. Bajalia’s legal counsel is straight forward and demanding in acquiring timely results that are legal (solid) and most advantageous for his clients! I have hired and worked with several attorneys and staff members in the State of GA and FL on various legal issues…Mr. Nick Bajalia and his staff are the BEST!!! I highly recommend him!!!”

“I first met Nick Bajalia back in 2006, I was being charged with a number contempt of court charges. Following that I found myself needing his services again in a Divorce case. So for about 3 Years I found myself relying on “Nick” to get me though these legal nightmares. Nick and his staff are a true credit to their profession. As my Lawyer I found Attorney Bajalia is extraordinary well versed in the law as you would expect with a Lawyer of his caliber. Well Worth EVERY penny he charges and more. As my Legal counsel he Actually counseled me, as well as helped me Evaluate my options and Advised in those matters while always leaving the final choice being mine. On a more Personal note Nick has demonstrated all that legal system would like to be, He is a shining example of a true friend when you need one the most. There is no doubt in my mind that should I find myself in need of Legal counsel / an Attorney. Nick Bajalia will be who I call. I realize that there will be some legal issues the Nick won’t handle. However it is Nick I will trust to point me in the right direction.”

“My case was complex and very long, not due to Mr. Bajalia, but due to the dirty doings of the other side. Mr. Bajalia has a strong side about him that makes you feel secure and knowledgeable.

“I was given Mr. Bajalia’s name through a lawyer in Macon, Ga. and I believe God had a hand in Mr. Bajalia coming into my life when he did. You see, I had a lawyer years ago who treated me and my daughter like another paycheck. From the very first meeting with Mr. Bajalia I could see he was going to be like no other lawyer I had ever met. Mr. Bajalia knows his stuff…he knows the law…but he gave me something no other lawyer could…a sense of comfort and loyalty to my family.”

“Nick is fully diverse in child custody law and that gave my wife the level of reassurance to go forward and file a lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend for us to relocate to another county with my wife’s daughter. During this 18 month court battle Nick was not only our attorney but became our friend and confidant. I could not have imagined any other attorney who would have taken such a personal interest in our family. He is a brilliant strategist and kept the opposing side on their heels during this lawsuit.”

I appreciated it, and it really has made the process so much easier for me knowing that me and my children are in good hands, with you and your staff having our best interests as priority and fighting for us to get what is fair. I feel very comfortable and up to date with my case at all times, as your staff keeps me updated very well. Any time I have an issue Amy is always there to answer any questions or concerns I may have. As a woman going through a divorce, her support for me whether I am in the office or on the phone is very comforting and much needed during those difficult times, especially since she has “been there, done that”. I appreciate the time you take with me in explaining things to me that I don’t understand. I feel that I am blessed to have been directed to you to handle my case from the start. You all have good hearts and truly care about people getting justice. That is not what I have seen in any other attorney’s office I had been to prior to you taking me on. It always feels great to have good feedback, and I wanted to let you know that I think your staff is excellent. Your realness is true and felt. I have posted on my Facebook that Bajalia Law Firm is amazing and I highly recommended you to all my Valdosta friends, and will continue to do so. I trust whatever you think we need to do to get the ball rolling. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart”

Character Reference from Colleague, dated November 20 2009
“I have been practicing law for twenty-six years and. all of that has been conducted in the Southern Judicial Circuit… I have known Nick my entire legal career… I have had the occasion to work with Nick when he was counsel or co-counsel on numerous criminal cases. In every case, without exception, Nick has always handled himself in a manner that exceeds the requirements of the Code of Ethics. He is always up front in his dealings with me regarding the facts of his case and, in many instances, this allows matters to be worked out to the benefit of his clients. In those cases where they cannot be worked out, he fights extremely hard and fair in protecting his client’s rights. Nick is a very thorough and meticulous lawyer. I find that when I go to trial against him, he is thoroughly prepared and knows all of the facts of his case. No matter how hard the fight, he always exemplifies a professionalism that is a credit to our profession. Nick is a straight shooter. What he says, I can accept without reservation. This is an attribute that is, unfortunately, becoming harder to find in our profession… Nick Bajalia is an honest and upright attorney who is a credit to my profession.”

He is a consummate gentleman in every sense of the word. He is fair beyond reproach with clients and lawyers and judges.

“We have handled several divorce cases and criminal cases together, sometimes opposite each other and sometimes as co-counsel. I can truthfully say that he has one of the finest legal minds in the City of Valdosta, as well as in the State of Georgia. To speak about [Nick] is impossible without speaking about his work ethic. He is a man who works harder than any human being I know. He works early in the morning until late in the evening, driven toward excellence always. He works files in such intricate detail and thoroughness that any lawyer would be proud of his work. His reputation in our community is impeccable.

“I have known Mr. Bajalia for approximately twenty five (25) years. I am acquainted with his background, work ethic, character and reputation… In summary assessment of his reputation and character in this community, I state, without reservation, that he is of unimpeachable character.

Character Reference from Colleague, dated November 9, 2009

This opinion, I believe, is universally held by everyone who knows him for his personal and work ethics in Georgia as well as in Florida…Nick has consistently conducted himself with honor and integrity… [Nick is] an extremely intelligent man working tirelessly for this community and the ideals of a “right to a fair trial” that he so highly regarded as the right of every man on the planet…I am blessed to be in the company of such a distinguished individual… He is a good man of high moral character.

Character Reference from Pastor Emeritus, dated November 9, 2009
“While living and serving in Valdosta for 29 years, I have known Nick Bajalia for most of those years… I have been in Nick’s office numerous times trying to help some of my parishioners with good advice. He has visited with me for church several times. We have been together at restaurants and other public places. I have sat in the court room when he was serving as attorney for some friends.

Character Reference from Colleague, dated November 6, 2009
I write this letter as an unequivocal testament to the character and integrity of Nick Bajalia… Nick Bajalia has been known to me for over 30 years… During that time, I worked with him on a daily basis in the area of civil, criminal, and domestic relations litigation… I have observed him under stressful and difficult situations. Few will match the hours of intense work that Nick regularly puts in to the representation of his clients… I [have] handled cases with Nick as co-counsel of clients, counsel for co-defendants, and as opposing counsel…. In all of these circumstances, I have never seen nor heard of any cause to question [Nick’s] integrity, honesty, veracity, or character. Not only in his handling of client matters, but in all aspects of his life, Nick has been a beacon of integrity. He is one of the few lawyers left that I never worry about confirming discussions in writing. The only accusation (if it may be construed as an accusation), I have ever heard of Nick is that he will work an opponent to a nub. That is praise to my way of practicing, but I have heard it discussed in a negative manner. It is not negative to me. Nick’s word is good. If he says it, I accept it as a fact… He has and always will conduct himself in the most honorable and appropriate manner.”
Character Reference from Colleague, dated November 3, 2009
“I have known Nick Bajalia for almost 40 years… Nick is one of the most honorable people that I have had the pleasure to deal with both personally and professionally in my lifetime.”
Character Reference from Colleague, dated November, 3 2009
“… I have known Mr. Bajalia very well in a professional capacity since approximately 1979… Over the 3o years that I have known Mr. Bajalia, I have had numerous opportunities to interact with him professionally. He and I have represented clients jointly and have had numerous occasions to be opposing counsel on matters in litigation. I have mediated cases for Mr. Bajalia on a number of occasions. Additionally, when I personally felt like I needed advice from a level head on matters involving legal ethics and good judgment, I have sought Mr. Bajalia’s advice, always with positive results. I have had occasion to obtain Mr. Bajalia’s opinions on complex situations and factual scenarios, and feel that he has always been fair-minded and ethical in his decision-making processes.”
Character Reference from Colleague, dated October 30, 2009
“… I have been Nick’s opposing counsel in several hundred cases, always when we both served as sole and lead counsel… In the past thirty (30) years of my law practice, there have been very few periods when I did not have an open file in which he was opposing counsel. Throughout this lengthy period and throughout all these many cases, there has never been any question in my mind as to the honesty, reliability and trustworthiness of Nick Bajalia… I have come to regard Nick’s note taking and documentation skills as exceptional among the attorneys practicing in State Court, and this includes the documentation procedures by members of his staff… I have come to appreciate the correctness and accuracy of this paperwork, …. and …. his reputation for honesty and integrity…that has built up over the years with our going through these matters. For two attorneys to handle several hundred cases means that they have had thousands of transactions; telephone calls, pretrial conferences, motion hearings, guilty pleas, jury trials and an occasional chance meeting at Wal-Mart. On looking back over all these thousands of transactions with Nick Bajalia, I cannot think of a single instance where I was left with any negative feeling about his veracity and truthfulness.”
