Atty. Nic wipes my nightly tears and stress

Like mine, the immigrant’s journey begins with constant stress and nightly tears but ends with Attorney Nic. I was raised to grow rice in the Philippines but found my passport to the United States through teaching. I met the love of my life, an American, but our time together was far from certain. ... My J-1 visa was expiring and USCIS was likely to force me back to poverty for a two-year waiting period. Fortunately, I was caring for a paraplegic and Nic explained that a two-year waiting period would cause undue hardship to an American citizen. So Nic successfully won me a work permit and exemption from the waiting period. Now I fully expect to celebrate citizenship someday.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Attorney Nick is passionate about our job which is primarily to help immigrants with their immigration concerns. He has a soft spot for them owing maybe to our being immigrants ourselves. Diligent and always on top of things in the immigration field, he is a lawyer whom clients can count on. For such, this colleague deserves my recommendation."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
