Bio

Nicholas Spetsas is a dedicated personal injury attorney and partner at Spetsas Buist Personal Injury & Car Accident Lawyers in Orlando, Florida. Born and raised in Moorestown, New Jersey, Spetsas began college as a Division I swimmer at Loyola Maryland, where he trained under the guidance of Olympic legend Michael Phelps, who served as an assistant coach. After two years, Spetsas transferred to Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida, to pursue his dream of becoming a trial attorney.

Spetsas earned his law degree from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 2016, graduating with numerous awards and accolades. During his time there, he gained valuable experience through various roles, including serving as a certified student attorney in the university's Juvenile Justice Clinic and interning at several law firms, the South Carolina Attorney General's Office, and a Fortune 500 company.

Following law school, Spetsas moved to Orlando, Florida, where he worked for some of the state's largest insurance defense law firms. His experience in complex litigation, including premises liability, commercial negligence, and negligent security, provided him with invaluable insights into the tactics used by insurance companies and major corporations.

Driven by his passion for helping injured individuals, Spetsas eventually transitioned to plaintiff's work. As a co-founder of Spetsas Buist Personal Injury & Car Accident Lawyers, he now leverages his defense background to maximize the value of his clients' cases. His practice focuses on wrongful death and personal injury cases, including amusement park accidents, car accidents, semi-truck accidents, slip-and-fall incidents, negligent security, and brain injuries.

Spetsas is recognized for his communication skills, empathy, and attention to detail. His unique perspective and understanding of insurance company valuation processes have made him a formidable advocate for his clients. His track record has earned him inclusion in lists such as The National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40, Super Lawyers Rising Stars, and the Million Dollar Advocates Forum.

Nick has been involved in various high-profile cases. He has filed many lawsuits against major theme parks in Orlando, Florida involving serious and catastrophic injuries, many of which received local and national media attention. Nick and his firm, Spetsas Buist, are known for handling high-stakes amusement park and theme park accident cases.

Nick is a true trial attorney. In the first half of 2026 alone, serving as lead trial attorney, he obtained:

  • $10 million verdict in a negligent security case involving a shooting at an apartment complex
  • $8.9 million verdict in a negligent security case involving a violent attack in a parking lot
  • $3.61 million verdict in a car accident case

Additional recent Spetsas Buist results include:

  • $1.05 million settlement in a multi-vehicle car crash
  • $1 million settlement for a client who suffered a traumatic brain injury on an amusement park ride
  • $1 million settlement in a wrongful death case involving a patient in the care of a behavioral health facility

Nick diligently works on his trial skills, and his firm is Florida counsel for Trial Lawyers for Justice, a firm led by some of the most accomplished trial attorneys in the country.
