Nick Will Fight for Hustice

He took the time to get case law to use and went forward with it. The cases were dismissed and are final. We were so happy.

Genuine and caring professionalism

Nick and his office have my utmost recommendation to anyone seeking legal representation. Being a senior, I very much appreciated the extra patience , kindness, and professional guidance that I received throughout the process. Highest regards to Nick and Reena!

This is the guy

My case should have been straight forward. Post nup, no kids. Of course, it wasn’t. I was stressed, my ex was stressed. Stress causes fights. Nick got in there, told me straight, navigated my exs “needs”, and got it done in record time. Nick also handles the case from start to finish, bringing... in outside help when needed for deeds, 401ks, etc. Nick is my lawyer and I trust him with my life. If you need help on your case you should bring Nick in.

Family Court

Nick was great in all aspects. Easy to talk to & very informative during my process with family court. Thanks to him I had a smooth process. If needed I would hire him again as my attorney!

Trustworthy, professional, thorough, and thoughtful

"I had the pleasure of working with Nicholas on my post-divorce proceedings, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. He was incredibly detailed, prompt, and took the time to explain everything clearly and concisely. The Ventrelli/Simon group, along with Nicholas, delivered exactly what th...ey promised—without any hidden charges—and did so in a timely and highly organized manner. I was pleasantly surprised by how ethical, responsive, and diligent Nicholas was throughout the entire process. I was referred to this firm by another, and I would highly recommend Nicholas and the Ventrelli/Simon group to anyone in need of legal assistance/family law.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
