I am a foreign-born national who was seeking to obtain lawful status in the U.S. The problem was that I had an outstanding warrant with multiple felony counts that carried a serious potential sentence. I was looking for an attorney to assist me in my criminal and immigration situation but I was reluctant to proceed because of the potential risks I was facing.
After searching the web for specialists in the field of criminal and immigration law, I called Mr. Nabil Chelico and proceeded to ask the questions I have asked so many times over the years. However, the answers I got were different than any I had heard before. Nabil was honest about the outlook of my criminal case, and professional while attentive to the many details of my situation. No doubt, Nabil showed patience and a high regard in considering how a negative outcome would affect my family's life and mine. From his original free consultation and subsequent in depth assessment of a legal strategy, I felt like I had received the answer to my many prayers; an honest, dedicated, intelligent lawyer with a kind heart and unbelievable passion for what he does.
After Nabil represented me in my case for several months, all felony charges against me were dismissed and I was only convicted of a minor misdemeanor offence. After that, he represented me in my immigration case and I obtained my legal status.
Nabil is simply an awesome lawyer. He was exceptionally thorough in all of the details of my case. When everything looked dim, he would take the time to cheer me up and stayed positive. In Nabil, you will find an outstanding professional and a one of a kind human being. Someone you might be lucky enough to call a friend!

Atty. Chelico did what most lawyers often do, fight and hopefully win your case. What sets him apart though is his approach. He treats you more like a personal friend. He is very honest and very approachable. We even met late nights and even weekends. Atty. wouldn't give you false hopes. If there' a problem, he'll tell you right away and find a solution for it instead of making excuses. I met with 5 lawyers regarding my case,"downgrading my felony case to a misdemeanor for immigration purposes". The other lawyers were either arrogant and wanted too much or made me felt hopeless. Atty. Chelico was neither. He told me exactly what needs to be done. We have to take it 1 step at a time and that there is no quick and easy solution for it. But it can be done with patience and trust. He wasn't a know it all kind of lawyer, but he is very very good at his specialty, which is giving people like me a second chance.We did win our case and thanks to him I now have better days ahead of me. It's not over yet, that was just our 1st step and you can bet that he's gonna be beside me every step of the way. In terms of what he charges, let's just say Atty. Chelico is worth every hard earned dollar and more. If your definition of a good lawyer is trustworthy,precise in defining your necessary steps, easily accessible and truthful then he is your best choice. Like I said I met at least 5 others, and I know he was the one to help me the moment he started talking about solutions rather than arrogant over confident statements.

After dealing with three attorneys, Nabil was the only attorney that actually gave us a chance when the other three said it was impossible. He was able to bring my uncle and his family to the United States permanently. Nabil was very confident and although did not guarentee the case to be approved, he said he would do anything in his power to make it happen and delivered with excellence. I was informed of any communication between he and the embassy of Armenia at all times so I was never left to wonder what was going on because he kept me updated with every step of the way. In my opinion, Nabil pulled off a miracle, because the previous attorneys all said that they would not be able to win the case and did not give us the comfort and the chance! Simply an amazing attorney. He is definitely the ONLY attorney I would recommend!

My name is Monica I initially contacted Mr. Chelico in effort to help my brother because he was detained by Immigration. My brother had a difficult case and I was really worried because we didn't get much hope of him being released by other lawyers we had contacted prievously.
I am very pleased to give Mr. Chelico an "excelent" rating in every aspect of the word. Mr. Chelico made us feel very comfortable from the very fist phone call to his office not to mention our initial visit to his office. He gatherd all the necessary Information to start my brothers case immidiately.
Mr. Chelico had close contact with us in order to gather all the necessary documents/information for my brothers case/hearing. He kept us and my brother updated in writing and by personal phone calls. I know for a fact that he researched for information about my brother from every angle nesessary. Sometimes I didnt even know how he managed to obtaing such Information. I could have sworn it was imposible to go back years to obtain information from a little town on onther state, but not for Mr. Chelico. He dedicated himself fully to this case as I'm sure he does to all his other cases. I am absolutely grateful to him for going the extra mile he went every time he needed information.
After all the hard work Mr. Chelico put forward in this case It was not a surprise that my brother was released a couple of months.
It is with great pleasure that I rate Mr. Chelico as one of the best. He upholds awsome integrity, honesty and a great deal of humbleness. I recommend him with my eyes closed. I am certain that he is the lawyer you need. He will fight that case as if that person that needs defending is one of his family members. I must also add that we had made several attempts with other lawyers but they were to rigid, unfriendly, and had no time to schedule you in, not to mention the asked for a big down payment without any guarantees of anything. Mr. Chelico has resonable pricing for his services. I am so happy and grateful to the Law office of Mr. Cheico that I am willing to provide my email if anyone should have a doubt or question. My email is:

I was very fortunate to find Nabil E. Chelico. I didn’t have any hopes with my Immigration case until I consulted with Nabil. I was in removal proceedings, and the only choice I was given by other lawyers was voluntary departure. In the consultation with Nabil, I was given other choices and a chance to fight my case. He advised me not to give up, but to fight until the end. He sounded very confident and diplomatic. Without any doubts I decided to hire Nabil E. Chelico to represent me in my Case. Since the beginning Nabil E. Chelico was very productive, trustworthy, and responsible with my Immigration case. He made a good plan and was following it step by step. He was a good adviser and his work always exceeded my expectations. He always answered his phone or he would call me back as soon as he would get my message. Nabil E. Chelico always supported me when I didn’t have any strength to fight through the many obstacles in my case. He always would say to be strong, and keep it up my strength like this until the end. It really helped me not to give up hope in my case. He is very understanding and a kind person. You can tell how much he cares about his clients by his work and tremendous efforts during the entire case. Nabil is very assertive in court to make sure you get the representation that you deserve. Nabil E. Chelico is very consistent with his work and he is always at his best. With his knowledge, experience, and great researching skills, Nabil E. Chelico constructed an amazing defense for my case. The way how he built and defended my case was very intelligent. The competence to resolve the problems was very impressive and unique. Thanks to his professionalism, the result was quick. The Removal Proceedings against me was dismissed, and I was free. I am completely satisfied with the services of Nabil E. Chelico and very thankful for all his hard work. I highly recommend Nabil E. Chelico to who is in need of an expert in Immigration field, and wants to get great results. Nabil E. Chelico does what needs to be done.
