Board of Supervisors Congratulate Nick Chrisos on his Retirement from Orange County
By: Todd Spitzer, Chairman, O.C. Board of Supervisors
This week the Board of Supervisors congratulated Nick Chrisos on his retirement from Orange County as County Counsel. Chrisos started working at the County in 1980.
“Orange County owes a great debt of gratitude for Nick for dedicating his career to serving and legally protecting Orange County,” said Supervisor Todd Supervisor.
Mr. Chrisos received his Bachelor of Arts degree in History from the University of Michigan in 1972 and his Juris Doctor degree at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1976. Mr. Chrisos’ career with the County began in March 1980 in the Office of the Public Defender. Later, Nick transferred to the Office of County Counsel in February 1985 at which time Adrian Kuyper was County Counsel, and the office had 29 attorneys.
Then, on April 1, 2009, Mr. Chrisos was appointed to the position of County Counsel. Under Mr. Chrisos’ leadership the office has provided excellent service to its clients and has steadily maintained a litigation success rate and client satisfaction rate in excess of 95%. The office presently has 69 lawyers, 30 support staff, and a budget in excess of $19 million.

A total cipher. Made his career looking the other way and pretending to be doing something.
He is the guy who let Janet Nguyen vote against restaurant letter health grades even though her husband and her Chief of Staff co-owned a filthy restaurant in Stanton with tons of health violations.
Chrisos looked the other way through out his tenure: Bill Campbell’s special projects on private property, the RMV Gobernadora scam, the real Housewives of Dana Point ripoff, Nguyens; heist of Cow Optima, you name it. He was the perfect partner for Tom Mauk. Completely devoid of any ethical conscience.
That’s why they love him!
P.S. he NEVER “protected” OC legally. What he did was protect the odious Board of Supervisors and the upper echelon when they screwed up.
Isn’t it hilarious how Spritzer conflates himself with Orange County? Mr. Ethics.
Hey Art, note how they define Chrisos’ success by the size of his staff and budget. Clent satisfaction?!! The client is the County BOS and bureaucracy!
nick chrisos is also complicit in plotting, planning and inciting the heinous torture and murder of richard chamberlain in cold blood, and other despicable high crimes. duties of councel is to give proper and ethical legal advice to all public servants to prevent all kinds of wrongdoings against the citizens. instead, chrisos et al act both as crime boss and also their free brazen attorney too. they use their law licence as lethal weapon against the same citizens the county is sworn to serve and protect. leon page was one of his top executioners. nick: rewarded with untold pension. leon: handed the golden goose crown. the county has no checks and balances system as required by the us constitution. us dept of justice must appoint a high monitor to take full charge to stop the countywide high corruption. ceo frank kim must be fired, just like tom mauk before him.
