Susannah E. Nichols

As an immigration associate in the Ogletree Deakins Raleigh office, I focus my practice primarily on immigrant and non-immigrant visas and employment-based green cards. I represent a wide range of petitioners including large corporations, small businesses and non-profit organizations. I have traveled nationally to represent individuals before USCIS and EOIR. Through my years of practice, I have learned that being an attorney means being both a counselor and a strong advocate to your clients. Prior to joining Ogletree Deakins, I practiced immigration law at boutique firms in Washington, D.C. and Rochester, MN.

I served as Chair for the D.C. Congressional Legislation committee of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA). I also participate in the AILA military assistance program which is a partnership between AILA and the military Judge Advocacy General Corps.

Originally born in Raleigh, North Carolina I graduated with a double major in Political Science and Communications from East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. I graduated law school from Campbell University School of Law in Raleigh, NC with a concentration in trial advocacy.
