Attorney Wanda Nieves

I am extremely pleased with Attorney Wanda Nieves. She worked hard and accomplished what my previous 2 attorneys did not do. She truly did an extraordinary job with my difficult court case, and accomplished for me the Divorce that includes me and my child out of state relocation. She fearlessly fou...ght for me, she did not back down in the courtroom or negotiations. Attorney Wanda Nieves is at the forefront of the latest New Jersey child custody law. She communicated well with me providing explanations, reviews and new tactics, anticipating my needs and concerns. Attorney Wanda Nieves focused on both my short term goals and in my child’s future best interests. Attorney Wanda Nieves communicated well with everyone, especially in the court room. She always identified potential problems in advance and I saw her fending off potential trouble with wisdom, strength and tenacity. She saw me thru until the very end. I know that in the future I will go to her for legal advise. I highly recommend her. If you're looking for an aggressive Attorney that really cares and will fight for your legal rights, contact Attorney Wanda Nieves. Once you start to work with her, You will never need anyone else.

I highly recommend Wanda Nieves!

I cannot say enough about Wanda! She went above and beyond to help my father in a most difficult situation. She was very professional, kept us informed and worked extremely hard to get the job done. She even went as far as having documents hand delivered to my dad's apartment when he became seriousl...y ill and brought papers to the hospital herself when they needed his signature. We not only acquired a tremendous lawyer but also a good friendship was made.

Wanda Nieves is a knowledgeable and true professional.

Wanda Nieves is a wonderful person and a true professional who really cares about her clients. My ex spouse and I hired Wanda to mediate our divorce case. Divorce is stressful but Wanda walked us through the process and explained everything in person, by email or on the phone. She took the time to en...sure that we understood the process..I would definitely use her law services again.

Knowledgeable Attorney

Wanda made me feel safe before and after court. I had been dealing with a difficult family matter regarding visitation. I felt that I was never given the opportunity to give the full facts, I was always leaving the court with a defeated feeling and constantly conflicted with the decisions being mad...e by the judge. After Wanda heard my case she was willing to represent me Pro Bono. Wanda's knowledge and skill of family law is impeccable. She represented my case with grace and never backed down. Wanda's passion for justice impressed me beyond words. She has been a true blessing.

She will get the best result for you! Wanda is by far the best Attorney I've ever dealt with; extreme...ly knowledgeable, professional and caring for her clients. Anytime you need her, she is there for you. GOD BLESS YOU WANDA. Thank you for your hard work!
