About Nancy
Nancy Vizer earned her Juris Doctor from George Mason University School of Law in 1999. She attended law school in the late 1990s and completed her degree as the millennium turned. That academic foundation led her into practice across two state bars.
She is admitted to practice in Illinois and Virginia. In 2001 she established Nancy M Vizer, PC and began handling matters under that firm name. Early in her career she worked through the practical demands of small-firm practice, learning to manage both casework and the business side of law.
Vizer's professional memberships reflect the range of her interests. She is active in the American Immigration Lawyers Association and the National Association of College and University Lawyers. She also belongs to the Illinois State Bar Association, the Virginia Bar Association, the North Suburban Bar Association and The Decalogue Society. Those affiliations keep her connected to colleagues in immigration, higher education law and general practice areas that touch on institutional clients and individuals alike.
Her day-to-day work includes representation in immigration matters and legal work for colleges and universities. She advises institutional clients on compliance and policy questions. She represents individuals in immigration proceedings and related administrative matters. The mix of institutional and individual work means she moves between regulatory detail and client-facing courtroom or administrative advocacy.
Colleagues describe her approach as practical and steady. She tends to break complex regulatory problems into manageable tasks. That method fits both campus administrators seeking policy guidance and clients pursuing relief through immigration channels. She draws on membership networks for updates on case law and shifting agency practices, and she participates in bar and association meetings to stay current.
Vizer maintains offices in both Illinois and Virginia to serve client needs across those states. She handles matters that arise in state and federal forums and coordinates work that spans jurisdictions. Her practice balances counseling institutions, representing individuals and handling litigation when needed.
Her current practice focuses on immigration law and legal issues affecting colleges and universities.
