Helped me get permanent residency

You won't find a more committed immigration attorney than Nicole Simon. She is a highly experienced, incredibly knowledgeable, responsive and detailed person. Nicole was with us from the start to finish and made the whole process easy for me to understand what I needed to get done and how to do ...it. This gave me the greatest peace of mind so I can focus on my day-to-day business commitments. I enjoyed working with Nicole and I would recommend her to anyone seeking immigration assistance.

Expert attention and thorough preparation made Green Card process smooth

We had the pleasure of working with Nicole Simon in our process of securing a Permanent Resident (Green Card) for my husband, an Italian citizen who had been working successfully in Philadelphia on a work visa for several years. Nicole explained every step of the process in full detail and gave us ...a very accurate timeline. Having previously used a different attorney for the initial work visa and been frustrated by his inaccessibility and lack of coordination of our matter with his associates, it was refreshing to retain Nicole who gave personal oversight and attention to detail. She expertly prepped us for our INS interview and also gave us moral support that made the day of the interview go smoothly and without stress. Nicole cares about her clients and makes them feel at ease. She was always quick to respond to email questions and phone calls. We would not hesitate to recommend her for the Green Card process, and fully intend to continue working with her on my husband's U.S. Citizenship process. A consummate professional.

Highly recommended immigration lawyer

My husband and I worked with Nicole to file for my green card. Nicole was knowledgeable, friendly and responsive. She explained the requirements very clearly to both of us from day one, and was always ready to answer any questions or address any concerns we had through out the application. She made t...he process much simpler and the experience more enjoyable than we had anticipated. We highly recommend Nicole for any marriage immigration counsel.

Grateful

My wife and I were referred to Nicole Simon by one of my wife's friends. At our first meeting Nicole explained the process we were about to begin in great detail and reassured us that everything was going to be ok. Nicole also was very clear in explaining to us the fees that we were going to incur ...and the due dates for each step in the process. It was very comforting to have an attorney like Nicole that knows the process so well, has been so successful with her clients and treats you like close friends rather than another file. In what was a protracted process we were always able to reach out to Nicole and receive immediate feedback on what was happening, what it meant in the process and what to expect next. My wife and I were so excited when Nicole shared with us the exciting news of my wife receiving her Resident Visa status. I do not know how we ever could have gone through all of this without the counsel of such an esteemed attorney like Nicole Simon. Words cannot express enough our gratitude and we could not offer a stronger recommendation to anyone seeking assistance with immigration issues that to recommend the services of Nicole Simon, Esquire.

Absolutely excellent

I worked with Nicole Ann Simon in several occasions but mainly in order to become permanent resident in the United States. I can say just positive things about how this very dedicated professional works. She has been always extremely reliable, serious and nice. It was a true pleasure working with her.... I was always kept thoroughly informed about the status of my applications and she was always willing to help me in any possible way, showing utmost confidence, knowledge and control over every minute detail of the process. Truly an outstanding lawyer whom I enthusiastically recommend to anyone who needs assistance in solving immigration related issues.
