Mr. Nagulendran is an EXCELLENT choice!

I am blessed that my paths crossed with "Nirm", as many call him. Do not let his calm demeanor fool you; this man is a litigation beast and impressive in the court room! His years of experience are evident in his approach to handling a case and explaining possible outcomes. Nirm finished my divorc...e case in just 9 months with favorable outcomes- this is rare in Central Jersey given that the courts are backed up, especially because of the COVID impact. I was able to reach Nirm on evenings, weekend and even during his vacation. I always hear back from him immediately. Nirm has an outstanding reputation amongst his colleagues and the Court and he earns the respect of new clients through his dedication to their cases, high morale and pleasing settlements. I'd rather keep away from Court but if I or anyone ever needed someone to fight on one's behalf, the choice would undoubtedly be Nirmalan Nagulendran!

Smartest attorney I know

There are over 50,000 attorneys in NJ but there are very few smart ones who will put themselves on the line to fight for you. John Adams said it the best that it was more important to protect the innocent than to punish the guilty. Family law is the wild wild west and Nirm understands the landscape... better than anyone. In my divorce that has cost me over $150K against a law firm that has a dozen lawyers at their disposal, Nirm is the last man standing. He knows the law and know the Hudson County court system better than anyone. He has an excellent work ethic and is accessible on weekends or weekdays, whether is 5AM or 7PM. I don’t recall a time he did not call me back on the same day. He has become a friend and I could not have gone 2 years into this divorce without him having my back.

Best lawyer I have ever had

I had a very important custody case from the moment I reached out to Nirm and explained what was happening he was there. We were on the path together every step of the way. I know it’s about getting paid, but he was different he listened, understood, and completed the task at hand in a timely manne...r. Even with the pandemic upon us and everything limited the task was completed. I am very satisfied and I highly recommend him to be your lawyer. Nirmalan Nagulendran

Highly recommended

Nirm handled my divorce and handled it well. He did an excellent job of listening and communicating -- I could always get him on the phone. And he handled things the way I wanted them handled; I never felt that I was getting the pro-forma, standard divorce case that he gives to everyone. That human i...ntelligence was important to me, because divorces aren't fun.

I didn't know lawyers like this even existed!

Nirm is unbelievable. My case was very complicated because it involved custody issues with my grandson, DYFS, law guardians, a heroin-addicted daughter, biological father, paternal grandparents, & blah blah blah! I called Nirm's law office on a SUNDAY no less, & Cara Corbo responded immediately & ...put Nirm on the case. How he gathered this group of characters together by Monday morning for an emergency hearing I'll never know, but he did & the case was decided in my favor. Nirm's only drawback is that he is TOO knowledgeable & will sometimes grow short on patience, but he will never throw you under the bus. He's pricey, but worth every penny. The old saying is true - you get what you pay for!
