National Interest Waiver green card

I hired Nichole to help me obtain a National Interest Waiver green card. Her work was meticulous, on time and she was able to handle on final question from immigration services effectively and efficiently with a successful outcome.

Best Lawyer in New York City!

Nicole Hartnett is a great lawyer with expert knowledge in immigration. She has been my lawyer for over six(6) years and has helped me get a Green Card and recently get my citizenship as well. She was always available when I had questions or concerns regarding my application. I highly recommend her f...or the professionalism, patience, insight and prompt timeline. Much gratitude!

Excellent Immigration Lawyer

Nicole knows immigration law. She got us through a very difficult process. She was always available to me by phone, or email with quick response and this was over a 2 year period of time. She was honest and upfront with me and I highly recommend her.

Excellent Service

Nicole, is an excellent lawyer, our case couldn´t be on better "hands". Her expertise and knowledge in Inmmigration made us feel very confortable and secure with the person "who was taking care of us". Her recommendations were very accurate and spot on. She was always very reachable and responsiv...e at any time (night, weekends, etc). I am a very "picky" person, always having a lot of questions and doubts and she was very patience responding every single detail. She wanted us to understand all the process. Definitely i would hired her again if we needed to.

Would definitely recommend Nicole and her colleagues at Hartnett Law - 5 Stars

I was very amazed by how professional and attentive Nicole was during my immigration process. The process can be very scary, particularly when your case is complicated. Nicole was very understanding and always reassured my wife and I which was so helpful. The first time we met with Nicole she made us... feel very comfortable. My case was very complicated and I felt Nicole really was very concerned about it. She explained the entire process I needed to follow in order to resolve all my outstanding issues before we submitted my petition. She was extremely helpful to me the entire time and would always answer my calls, return my emails and answer any questions my wife and I had. Nicole would always check in with us to make sure that everything was well. I just recently received the good news that my petition was approved after years of waiting and worrying. I’m very grateful for Nicole’s hard work and would definitely recommend her and her colleagues at Hartnett Law.

  • 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.
