Practice Areas: Immigration

Nico is the managing attorney at Ratkowski Law PLLC, where he represents individuals in a broad range of immigration and criminal matters including asylum, removal proceedings, family-based petitions, adjustment of status, administrative appeals, bond redetermination requests, jurisdictional concerns, employment, tax issues, and motion practice.. Nico Ratkowski was first exposed to immigration law in 2016 when he started working as a law clerk at Contreras Edin Law in St. Paul, Minnesota. Learning quickly, Nico hit the ground running when he became a licensed attorney in January 2019. Since that time, Nico has practiced immigration law full time, cutting his teeth in the trenches during the Trump administration and learning how to best protect his clients from govermental overreach and destructive policies that sought to discourage immigration by separating families, incarcerating immigrants for seemingly no reason, and intentionally sowing confusion amongst immigrants and their attorneys. Undeterred, Nico forged ahead and taught himself how to litigate unconstitutional policies and practices in federal court because he saw that federal courts were the last bastion between the Constitution and Executive tyranny. Along the way, Nico picked up a variety of skills in all facets of immigration, becoming adept at removal defense, obtaining immigration bonds and challenging bond denials through reconsideration requests, filing family- and employment-based immigrant and nonimmigrant visa applications and petitions, hardship petitions, waiver petitions, humanitarian requests, and otherwise navigating the immigration labyrinth.. In the course of his practice, Nico Ratkowski gained experience in criminal matters, first assisting other attorneys with tricky criminal sexual conduct cases before moving into other areas such as guns, drugs, sex trafficking, conspiracy, and murder. Nico provided free representation to protesters who were arrested in St. Paul and Minneapolis during the 2020 George Floyd protests and was successful in getting all charges dropped in each case. Nico has continued to expand his areas of criminal practice and is more than capable of handling any type of criminal matter that arises.. Nico Ratkowski has handled a variety of habeas corpus and postconviction cases since 2019 at both the federal and state levels, and he has successfully assisted multiple individuals in obtaining pardons from the Minnesota Board of Pardons for felony and misdemeanor offenses.. Nico’s criminal and postconviction work helps inform his approach to civil rights and personal injury cases, as he is regularly exposed to criminal matters from every angle. This experience has been invaluable, as it has allowed Nico to obtain hundreds of thousands of dollars in settlements for his clients from government agencies and private individuals.. Due to Nico Ratkowski’s unique blend of experiences and expertise, he is regularly consulted by other criminal and immigration attorneys to provide expert legal advice about the immigration consequences of various state and federal criminal charges, proposed plea deals, convictions, and sentences.. Nico Ratkowski also has experience forming business entities, drafting corporate and nonprofit governance documents, drafting and advising businesses on residential lease agreements, purchase agreements, licensing agreements, and tax matters. Additionally, Nico regularly obtains third-party and single-parent custody petitions for clients in state family court.. Nico is a graduate of the University of Minnesota Law School. Nico also holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Washington State University. During law school, Nico worked in the Ronald M. Mankoff Tax Clinic, helping low-income clients resolve their tax issues with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Minnesota Department of Revenue (MNDOR).
