Great lawyer!

Nicole was my lawyer 3 years ago and I have to say that she was the best. She is very responsible, detail-oriented, punctual, very smart and she knows what she's doing. She helped me a lot. You won't regret if you choose her as your lawyer.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I was introduced to Spar & Bernstein from a friend of mine who had a great experience with the firm. I wasn't extremely confident that the law firm could've help because my case was extremely complicated; I entered the country in someone else's name and since had been a law-abiding resident - tak...ing care of my family and paying taxes. Thus, I was petitioning to become a permanent resident, in spite of my illegal entry 15 years ago. In 2012, I went to the office with my case and Mr Bernstein told me that he can help me. He mentioned that it was a difficult case, but he took it on in-spite of that. After some time, he introduced me to Mrs Nicole Hemrick, who would be my lawyer. She was eager to work with me and always positive. As you can imagine, the case involved a lot of paperwork and Mrs. Hemrick was always on top of it - making it clear what I needed and when, to ensure we do not miss key dates. After a lot of hard work (and money and prayer!), I was able to receive my working permit and social security card. Then, there was a major snag in my case when Mrs. Hemrick filed for my permanent residency status... It was declined due to insufficient evidence of how I entered the country. Mrs. Hemrick reassured me that she would do all that she can to help. I worked tirelessly to get the evidence that was needed and she used that information to file an appeal. Luckily, the case was reopened and after another official interview, I was granted my green-card and permanent residency! I would recommend anyone to Spar & Bernstein, as they are a very good law firm. As for Mrs Nicole Hemrick, she is a fantastic lawyer who will fight for you until there is success. I am forever thankful of her work and dedication to my case. Thank you, Nicole!

very intelligent, caring, loving, attentive, understanding, trustworthy and reliable lawyer

My number one lawyer Nicole Hemrick my case started back in 2003 I was living in Maryland when my case started I had no knowledge about immigration rules and regulation and because of that my first lawyer robbed me of over $13,000. I was depress and wanted to give up then my sister mother recommend m...e to the law office of Spar and Bernstein where I met Nicole I did my consultation with Mr Bernstein himself then my case was turn over to Nicole, Nicole is a God send she's an angel and had fought the case until we was victorious my case was a waiver case because I came to America illegal and that make the case very difficult I never really understand the depths of my case until I met Nicole she was very informative and very understanding during the years fighting my case I suffered from anxiety and become very depressed and Nicole cure that sickness. Nicole you are very intelligent, caring, loving, attentive, understanding, trustworthy and reliable lawyer thank you so much(lawyer like Nicole are very hard to fine) Nicole you had fought and because you had fought I can believe in myself again, I am no longer illegal, my daughter can enjoy her country(because of my immigration case I had to send my eight months old daughter then to live in Jamaica with my mother) because you had fought my mother no longer have night mares of me coming back to Jamaica Nicole thank you and I prayed every day that you may feel the joy that you have make me feel every day since you have won my case words can't express how much I adore and appreciate you, you are well loved may God continue to shine his blessing on you and your family that you can continue to do the great job you were put on the earth to do I always tell you, you do your BEST and God will do the REST thanks you for the bottom of my heart..Love Tamara

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
