Amazing with a capital A

My experience with this immigration firm has been nothing short of exceptional. From our very first meeting with Deidre, it was clear that she and her team were dedicated to providing top-notch service and personalized attention to our immigration case. Deidre took the time to listen carefully to ...our concerns and questions, and used her extensive knowledge and experience to provide us with clear and actionable advice. Her staff members Jessica and Brian were also extremely helpful and patient, always ready to answer our questions and provide updates on our case. Throughout the often-frustrating immigration process, Deidre and her team remained professional and focused, never losing sight of our ultimate goal of obtaining residency in the United States. Their diligence and attention to detail paid off in the end, as we were ultimately successful in obtaining our residency. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone seeking assistance with an immigration matter. They are a truly amazing team, with a capital A, and I am grateful for all their hard work and dedication. Thank you, Deidre, Jessica, and Brian, for your outstanding service and for helping us achieve our dream of living in the United States.

Nero is experienced in complex cases. Consistent communication!

A family friend referred Deirdre Nero for my husband’s naturalization process. She is undeniably a real professional with proven experience, including complex cases. She stays current on all changes in laws and regulations to prepare her clients for anything. Her paralegal Jessica is dedicated, organ...ized, and always courteous. The Nero team is friendly and accessible. Consistent communication! We could not have accomplished this without their guidance and sincerity. It would have been challenging to manage on your own.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
