About Simone
Biography
After graduating from law school in Rome, Italy, Simone moved to the United States where he graduated with a Juris Doctor degree, becoming one of the very few Attorneys with full academic qualifications in both Italy and the United States.
Simone first came to the United States with an F-1 student Visa to attend law school. Later, he started his own legal practice, and obtained E-2 Treaty Investor Visa status. Later, Simone became a Lawful Permanent Resident, and now he is a proud American citizen.
In the course of his career, Simone handled hundreds of immigration cases, including removal proceedings and federal appellate matters. Simone has also substantial criminal jury trial experience.
In the past four years, Simone has been included in the “Rising Stars” list of the New Jersey “Super Lawyers” magazine.
