Testimonials

Excellent immigration lawyer!

I was referred to Mr. John Nicelli by another attorney who, after reviewing my case, felt that its level of complication called for a lawyer who knew US immigration law as thoroughly as very few attorneys around, and would give his client his honest opinion on where one stands. In addition to his brilliant mind I found Attorney Nicelli an approachable, sympathetic person with a will to find a beneficial solution to my problem, provided there was any. During all the proceedings for my Green Card through employment, Mr. Nicelli and his team helped my sponsor/ employer to better understand the process of sponsorship, legal issues involved, and to go through all the steps consistently. In retrospect, I think, I owe Attorney Nicelli and his paralegals the biggest credit for a positive outcome of my case. Six years later I called back to ask for assistance with my citizenship application. Mr. Nicelli still remembered my case. I believe , because he cares, because he understands what is at stake for us, immigrants, when we choose this road. Thank you Mr. Nicelli. I am deeply grateful.- Ewa K.

Mr. Nicelli changed my life 

I was arrested on July 3, 1996 at the Texas Border. At the time the only language I understood was polish. I was released on a 5,000 dollar bond on July 4, 1996. When I was released I was not given any papers and took a bus to New York where my parents lived. I never went to immigration court and never knew I had to. After marrying in 2006 my husband contacted a lawyer who told me I had been deported and that he couldn't help me. We then went to a second lawyer who told me I had been deported and that he couldn't help me. We then went to a second lawyer who filed a family petition on my behalf. After it was approved he also told us there was nothing to do about the deportation order. Finally we met Mr. Nicelli who told us he would have to investigate what happened in Texas. Well thanks to his efforts he found my signature had been forged on the papers I was supposed to be given when I was released. He contacted a handwriting expert who provided a professional opinion that my signature forged. Based on this verifiable information Mr. Nicelli was able to have my deportation case reopened and filed for me to obtain my green card in the U.S. He went to court with me, and attended my interview at immigration with us. He is also wonderful and honestly I can't say enough about him. Mr. Nicelli you changed my life. I no longer live in fear. Thank you so much for everything. I have told all my friends with immigration problems to call you. - Dorota K. 

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! 

Thank you Mr. Nicelli, you saved my life. I have been working as a chef for more than fifteen years. My other lawyer filed three different sponsorship cases for me. All were denied. I lost more than twenty thousand dollars. Mr. Nicelli got my case approved and finally I am a permanent resident of the U.S. I am planning my vacation to Ecuador in late September. You're the best and most honest lawyer I have ever met. You saved mine and my family's life. There are no words good enough to express my gratitude. - Pedro S. 

Thanks to Mr. Nicelli, I am free

I was in Binghamton New York sitting in my car having lunch with two of my coworkers. The police stopped by and noticed my car had a cracked windshield. The police heard my coworkers and I were speaking Spanish and asked all of us for identification. The state trooper then called immigration and the three of us were arrested. My friend Carlos was deported because he was previously stopped at the border. My other friend Juan and I were detained and released near Buffalo New York. When I met with Mr. Nicelli he told me he would have the court hearing transferred to New York. Not only did he change the court hearing to New York City, he stopped my deportation. I now am free and with my family. After I was in jail I was certain I would be deported, but Mr. Nicelli stopped it. Thank you. - Danny G. 

Life changing experience 

My wife was deported in 2003 after not attending her court hearing. She was required to go to immigration court in Virginia after being arrested at a Social Security office. In 2010 my wife and I moved to Pennsylvania from New York. In August 2013 immigration agents came to our house looking for my wife. When they learned she was eight months pregnant they told her to report to their office the next day. Since I was also illegal, I got arrested. I was later released and called Mr. Nicelli. Believe it or not I now have my green card. I still don't understand the magic Mr. Nicelli did, but I could tell you that the immigration judge was quite impressed. In a few years I hope to become a U.S citizen. Thanks to Mr. Nicelli I could continue to raise my children. I expect my wife will have her green card very soon. I can't tell you how Mr. Nicelli has changed our lives. - Jan C. 

The best of the best 

I have lived in the U.S since I was six years old. I became a green card holder through my father at the time of my entry. Unfortunately, I borrowed a friends van in order to make a delivery of some construction material for a relative. Unknown to me, my friend kept drugs in his van. When I was walking away from the van after parking two undercover cops stopped me and later searched the van. Apparently my friend and his van had been under surveillance. Sure enough drugs were found and I was charged with possession. After my arrest my friend who I knew for a number of years disappeared. As a result I was sentenced to two years in jail. After serving my time I was sent to Immigration custody. My family retained Mr. Nicelli who presented hundreds of pages of documents to the immigration judge, I also testified as did my family members. Thanks to Mr. Nicelli, I'm still here. I was released from custody and still have my green card. If it wasn't for his vigorous defense of me I'm certain I wouldn't be here today. I love Mr. Nicelli and love America.- Daren B. 

The superman of immigration lawyers 

In April 2012 Mr. Nicelli represented, a Honduran citizen, who was arrested for gun possession at the age of sixteen. Since I had some gang affiliation, the criminal court judge sentenced me to eighteen months at a youth detention facility. At the time of my arrest I was the in removal proceedings because I was stopped at the border while trying to enter the U.S illegally. Upon my release I finished high school and attended college. I volunteered my time at the church and obtained a steady job. After having a long and exhaustive hearing before an immigration judge I was granted permanent residence by an immigration judge. Mr. Nicelli filed hundreds of pages of documents in support of the application for adjustment of status convincing the judge to grant the application for adjustment of status. Since, the case was so well documented the U.S immigration prosecutor did not appeal. I know someone in the same situation who had a different lawyer and was already deported. Thanks to the great efforts of Mr. Nicelli I'm still here, I have my green card and a good job. Mr. Nicelli is truly the superman of immigration lawyers. Thanks! - Selvin P. 

The best immigration lawyer

I was required to register with the U.S immigration authorities after the World Trade Center attack. After registering I was placed in removal proceedings. Fortunately you convinced my boss to help me. I still cant believe how you postponed my court case until my sponsorship case was finished. Thanks to you I finally have my green card. I cant tell you how scared I was every time I went to court. Mr. Nicelli however gave me the courage to stand strong. I look at my green card almost every day and feel so thankful for Mr. Nicelli. You're truly the best immigration lawyer.
