After hiring him a few years back, he not only did not promptly submit documents on time for my application, which I only found out after receiving a letter from the USCIS, but when his team did finally submit the application, my name was spelled incorrectly! Anyone who is familiar with this process knows missing a deadline results in an automatic denial of your case, and the only option you have is to appeal and submit an entire new application and pay the fees over again. Because of the negligence to deadlines, I had to deal with this, and obviously lost money, not to mention the immense stress that the process induced. I also had issues with contacting him when I had questions, it felt impossible getting an answer after submitting payment. I would not recommend this practice to anyone

Mr. Nichols and his team helped my husband and I throughout the whole process of getting a green card and finally my citizenship. They were extremely professional the entire time and everything went as planned. We are extremely greatful we found them. We couldn’t recommend this firm high enough.

"Just want to take an opportunity to say thank you for being the instrument for me and my husband to finally be together in the United State of America. Please also send my gratitude to all of your wonderful staff who worked diligently in processing my papers. DL & LR"

Mr. Nichols is an excellent lawyer. He is not only professional, knowledgable, detailed but also (and most importantly) caring and compassionate. I always felt welcomed and easy to talk to Mr. Nichols and his staff. I highly recommend Nichols Law Firm to anyone who seeks for legal advices.

Craig Nichols personally took time to meet with me & talk to me about my goals after becoming a citizen. He is very smart, dependable & easy to talk to. The entire team at this law firm is exemplary. I was blown away by how intuned they all were with me. They made me feel like I was there only client all day every day. Even after I became a citizen they reach out to me just to make sure I didn’t need anything else. The most excellent group of professionals I’ve ever met.

Craig Nichols helped me with a personal injury case. He made the recovery process much more bearable. He gave me great advice oh how and where to get treatment so that I was able to heal as fast as possible. He was very honest about the case and he ended up getting me a very good deal. Despite my injuries, Nichol's Law made the recovery process as comfortable as possible.

Craig Nichols first consulted with me, and then took me on as a client ( I hired him to represent me) in a personal injury case. His patience played an essential part during my case, as i went through many stages of inital injury to surgery to healing. My injuries and treatments were complex, and i had many issues with my injuries, and doctors involved in my healing. Throughout this stressful, painful time for me ; I had very little understanding about NYS no-fault accident laws...or , more importantly, what is involved in a personal injury case. Craig consistently made himself available throughout the two years we worked together during my healing . His team was also very communicative. Messages, concerns and paperwork always got through in a timely manner. Craig walked me through all potential issues and outcomes whenever i had a concern. Most important, he always made all points very clear to me. Every step of the way. When it came time to discuss a settlement, or a court setting, Craigs .professionalism in providing clear options and outcomes along with their timelines were reassuring. I felt empowered. I know I made an educated and informed decision when I settled my personal injury case with Craig's expert guidance. I cannot thank Craig enough for his true compassion during my specific injury/needs situation . I highly recommend Craig without reservation to anyone who needs consultation, or representation for any type of personal injury case. You will receive 100% of Craig Nichols.

After being treated unfairly in the Summer of 2016 Mr. Nichols was there to help me through my difficult situation. He guided me through the legal process and helped us come to a very fair settlement. He is a great lawyer and a great human being. He is extremely detailed and very caring. Mr. Nichols truly cares about the well being of his clients. I felt very comforted and taken care of through the entire process. I highly recommend him!!

Mr. Nichols and his team is simply the best. Always available for all my questions and the step-by-step guidance was impeccable. Flexibly and truly made me a priority. Could not have asked for a more superior team then Mr. Nichols and party. Thank you for all that you have done and your umatched service that you provide.

I am an Attorney in upstate New York, practicing for the past 28 years. In August, 2009, my son was involved in a motor accident and was seriously injured. Of the many experienced lawyers available to us for my son's representation, and based upon my experiences with Craig, we chose Mr. Nichols. The case is long since over and my son as well as myself agree that our trust in Mr. Nichols' representation was and is the best possible choice for our family's needs . I would recommend Craig for any personal injury representation without reservation.

I was referred to Craig Nichols through a good friend who was past client of Craig's to assist me in a Motor Vehicle Accident / Personal Injury Case. I was having Loads of Trouble navigating through the many intimidating and Confusing aspects of dealing with the insurance companies involved in my case but Craig Nichols took the time to personally guide me through the entire process, offering Sound Legal Advice, Insightful Anecdotes, and a Down To Earth Style of Counsel that kept me totally informed, reassured, and totally abreast of the Progress of the Case from it's inception to it's Final Successful Conclusion. The hard and diligent work of Craig Nichols and his Team have made a big difference in the Quality of my life. I would recommend Craig K. Nichols to my Relatives, Close Friends, and Co-workers without hesitation. Craig is definitely an asset to the Syracuse Legal Community. Robert F. J.

Craig assisted me and my wife through an Adjustment of Status (AOS) immigration case in order to obtain work authorization and a permanent resident card for my wife after we were married. Overall, we were very happy with the result - my wife received her permanent resident card in just under three months from the time we submitted our AOS application to the USCIS. Although my wife and I felt comfortable that we would have been able to successfully navigate the immigration application and review process on our own, we decided to hire an immigration attorney for the following reasons: - Heard a couple of horror stories from acquaintances regarding unfavorable outcomes when filing / applying for immigration status (however, also heard from several other people who had good experiences when going it alone) . - Receiving my wife's permanent resident status was time sensitive - only had about three months until we needed to travel internationally + accept a new full-time job offer - Decided that the money spent on hiring an attorney to provide reassurance that the immigration process would result favorably for me and my wife would be well worth it for the peace of mind. I contacted several immigration attorneys in the Syracuse area and opted for Craig because of the following reasons: i) I liked how thorough he was during our initial consultation, ii) his fee seemed reasonable, and iii) Craig and I built good rapport while on the phone (i.e., I liked him). Working with Craig and his team was great. His online software support made filling out the AOS application a breeze. Further, Craig's team reviewed our application meticulously to check for errors before submitting to ensure we got everything right the first time. This alone probably saved me and my wife around 10 - 15 hours. In general, Craig was responsive when we had questions or wanted to hear status updates once our application was submitted. He and his team were always professional and courteous. I actually enjoyed visiting with Craig at his office because he's such a regular, down-to-earth guy (and also very sharp). The other thing I appreciated when working with Craig, was his honesty. Craig was upfront with us from the start that he tended to approach matters with "cautious optimism." In other words, Craig did not simply tell us what we wanted to hear, but remained realistic and objective throughout the case (especially when discussing the chances that my wife would receive her immigration status within the three-month window that was crucial to our travel / work needs). I highly recommend Craig to anyone in need of an attorney - for any matter. He's good people.
