Biography

Nick Spetsas is a trial lawyer who was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and raised in Moorestown, New Jersey, just outside the city. In 2010, his family relocated to a beach community in Northeast Florida, where Nick developed a lasting connection to the state he now calls home. Today, he proudly represents injured individuals and families throughout Orlando, Florida, and the surrounding communities.

While in law school, Nick gained meaningful litigation experience as a certified student-attorney with the South Carolina Juvenile Justice Clinic. He also completed internships with a Fortune 500 company, a personal injury law firm, and the South Carolina Office of the Attorney General, providing him with a broad perspective on civil litigation and advocacy.

Before joining Spetsas Buist Personal Injury & Car Accident Lawyers, Nick worked for the largest insurance defense firm in Florida and later for a national law firm. In those roles, he represented corporations and insurance carriers in complex civil litigation matters involving personal and catastrophic injury, premises liability, product liability, wrongful death, automobile and trucking accidents, and negligent security claims.

Nick now applies his litigation and trial background to representing plaintiffs in Medical Malpractice Law, Personal Injury Litigation, and Workers' Compensation Law.

Some of Nick's largest jury verdicts and settlements are in the niche areas of negligent security (shootings, stabbings, sexual assault on business properties), mental health/behavioral treatment facility negligence (preventable suicide), amusement park injuries, and roller coaster injuries. Nick has handled many cases against Disney World and Universal Studios, as well as other major theme parks.

His prior experience defending insurance companies, security companies, and amusement parks allows him to anticipate common strategies used during negotiations and at trial. Nick is committed to advocating for individuals injured due to negligence, maintaining open communication, and providing attentive, client-focused representation. He takes pride in treating every client with care, respect, and dedication, and he LOVES to take a case to trial and fight for his clients in the courtroom.

Client Testimonials

Nick Spetsas was referred from a family friend after being hit by a car on my electric ebike. Nick Spetsas and his team was very supportive and helping my family getting through this devastating accident by doing all the correspondence by phone and email. They handled all the correspondents from the other side and gave me advice that led us to be able to win my case by fighting hard for me every day. Couldn't ask for a better team to be on my side fighting for me. I would highly recommend them to fight for you or your family in your time of need.

Case History

Q&A

Our mission at Spetsas Buist is to build a lasting relationship with every client we serve. In order to do that, we have to do the best work we possibly can and arm ourselves with the most up-to-date knowledge. However, our firm is unique because we go above and beyond to get to know our clients and build a relationship.

Clients often ask how long it will take to get their case resolved. The answer is always, "it depends." Every case is different, and how long it will take to resolve a case will often depend on:

The insurance company and coverage available;
The defense lawyers;
The severity of injuries; and
The degree to which the defendant is liable.

Ultimately, for a client to get proper value, a case may need to proceed into litigation, or it may need to go to trial. When a case goes into litigation, it can take a year or more to resolve.

We have handled many cases involving preventable suicide in mental health facilities, behavioral treatment facilities, baker act facilities, and drug treatment facilities. Cases where we can get justice for folks who have lost their loved ones to preventable suicide and mental health facility negligence are very important to us. These cases highlight some of the most despicable instances of negligence, and we believe that we can save lives by holding these negligent facilities accountable.

A major part of our business is getting to know our clients. In order to get to know our clients properly, we have to know everything about what they're experiencing and the pain they're going through. Sometimes, clients are going through such an extraordinary amount of pain it's hard to watch them suffer. Sometimes, there's not much we can do to ease their pain. All we can do is hold facilities, entities, and individuals accountable for what they've done to try and get our clients justice and prevent others from getting hurt in the future. However, even though we are able to get justice for our clients, many times there is not enough money on the planet to make them whole after what has been taken from them or what has been done to them.

I was a collegiate swimmer in college, and I've always enjoyed swimming. I'm also an avid kickboxer and martial artist, and I spend most of my spare time training and developing my mixed martial arts skills.
