Mr. Nick Simopoulos represented me in an employment dispute involving my demotion from assistant principal of a middle school to a classroom teacher position. I was given no warning, or a reason this happened by the school board. I held my administrative position for 14 years and never had a letter i...n my file, or a complaint brought against me by any administrator in the county. Due to my age being close to retirement and wanting to preserve the reputation of a younger administrator, I believe they used me as a scapegoat, fired me from my administrative job, and demoted me back to a classroom position. The superintendent thought I would just accept this and go away. Nick did an excellent job presenting my case for age related discrimination and wrongful demotion. He worked diligently to get me a favorable settlement, which turned out to be a positive outcome for me.

We are in a current IEP battle with our public school and needed to understand if the services and accommodations we are seekin are reasonable and what to do if we continued to be denied/strung along. Mr. Simopoulos gave us critical information on relevant laws/acts that helped add gravitas to our IE...P meeting. If you are not sure if the school system is doing a disservice to your child, call him.

Nick was the best attorney in education law. He is very passionate on education also. When I hired Nick I knew I was in great hands. I trusted him and felt like he was family more than a lawyer. Great advocate for his clients and he always kept in the loop of what was going on. Nick has my vote ...as the best education lawyer in VA. He provided wonderful service and I wouldn't change anything about his service or the case outcome. Thank you for advocating for my son Nick :)

Nicholas provided a free phone consultation. I initially contacted him after hours and had a phone consultation the next morning. He was very knowledgeable on employment law and gave me his professional opinion on the information I provided to him. I would definitely seek out his services in the futu...re.
