Nicholas F Simopoulos

Atty. Simopoulos specializes in employment law is the reason I chose to use him after an hour consultation. Unlike many Attorneys who state on their websites their practice is 100% employment law cases that they handle; when in reality it makes up only a small fraction of their practice in Richm...ond, Virginia . He is thorough and very knowledgeable; and does not back down . Great negotiator. He will listen to you also attentively about your case and give an honest opinion on whether you should proceed further with court litigation. He is honest; and I recommended him to anyone who has been asked to resign and not retire ; when they have been treated unfairly and have been subjected to continual discrimination in the work place for years.

I consulted with Mr. Simopoulos regarding my severance agreement. He listened and really understood the facts of my situation. He gave me thoughtful advice about what I could ask for (or what he could ask for on my behalf). As a former lawyer myself, but not an employment lawyer, I appreciated the ca...ndor and depth of experience he brought to my questions. I was pleased that if litigation or the prospect of litigation had been necessary to accomplish my goals, he would have been able to handle that, also.

I reached out to Nick with a peculiar situation regarding a student harassing me and an institution that was unwilling to step in. I wanted to take a more conservative approach regarding the situation, as I had hoped to retain a good relationship with my (now previous) employer. Ultimately we ended ...up filing a case and settling in pre-trial negotiations. Nick was a solid person to work with who showed empathy and tact with how we approached the situation.

Mr. Simopoulos is not your everyday attorney he will keep you up to date at all times. You will never have to worry about how your case is going. When there are times that he needs to speak to you about a important matter he will give you a heads up email to let you know that he will be calling you. ...He is not your attorney that will try to get you to settle for a quick dollar, Mr. Simopoulos will look out for your best interest and get you the most that he can. I work with Mr. Simopoulos for almost a year on my case where other attorneys would have tried to get you to take a small offer so that they could get paid and move on to there next case Mr. Simopoulos will tell you straight up front that he could get your more. You would be hard press to find a better attorney like that.

Nick is incredibly professional and passionate about his legal cases. He was a consistent and clear communicator. Nick made sure I was informed and educated with every step in the process and in handling of my case. He had my full confidence the entire way, and rightly so given the outcome of my case...! 10 out of 10 would recommend!
