I Concur, Look No Further

I read the reviews of Mat: "best of the best", "look no farther [sic]", "hardworking, sincere", "true pro", "cares and wants to help", "your best interests in mind", etc. Based on my experience, those reviews are accurate, not hyperbole. We hired Mat to represent us in a gut-wrenching grandparent ...visitation case. Mat was recommended to us by a former president of the American Bar Association. Mat was the only attorney he recommended, and I can see why. We interviewed other great attorneys who had been recommended by those in the know, but Mat was easily the best. Mat demonstrated a superior understanding of the case law, some of which resulted from cases he won previously. He also demonstrated a deeper concern for effectiveness. Mat is a gifted writer. His legal briefs were crafted with a clear vision and a deep understanding of the law. He "dropped the mic" on the opposing attorney in our case. Unless you are an A-list celebrity, I do not think you will find a better advocate than Mat - intelligent, grounded, skilled, genuine, hard working. On a pesonal level, I miss our interactions with Mat. With regard to fees, Mat worked very efficiently and was more than fair. It was crystal clear throughout that his intent was to fight to help us, not to make money. Mat is good enough to be the difference between winning and losing.

Hardworking, sincere and persevering!

I hired Mr. Nunn for representing me in a custody related appellate matter. From the initial meeting, I felt that Mr. Nunn genuinely cared about my son and beleived in my cause. He gave me great advise, kept me honest and grounded throughout - in terms of the possible outcomes, and became someone who...se advise and guidance I deeply trusted. Throughout representing me, Mr. Nunn handled my matter with great empathy, diligence and passion and also kept me updated timely on the progress of my case. He is extremely knowledgeable in all things family law/custody related. Not only is Mr. Nunn a terrific attorney, he also a very patient, caring and honest professional - all great qualities to have in an attorney dealing with emotional family law matters. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Nunn and his team at Einhorn to anyone who needs specialized representation in custody related matters.

A true professional who cares and wants to help

I am an attorney who needed a fellow attorney's advice in a custody case. I was reading published and unpublished custody Appellate Court decisions and that's how I initially found Mr. Nunn. He represented the prevailing party/parent in all of the decisions I read. I contacted him regarding my custod...y case. He responded very quickly and I scheduled a consultation. Mr. Nunn was very thorough, reviewed previously submitted paperwork and provided valuable advice and insight. More importantly, he genuinely cared about my son's safety and his best interest. I could tell immediately Mr. Nunn is not only an experienced litigator but an attorney who truly cares about his clients and their concerns. I could also immediately tell Mr. Nunn is very passionate about his job and truly enjoys what he does. THANK YOU! I would highly recommend Mr. Nunn to anyone who needs an attorney in a family matter.

Matheu Nunn will get the job Done

I met Matheu through a family friend who was a partner at his law firm. I had just been to Court with my former attorney for my first Post Judgement litigation. (I fired him before we even left the Court House). In that proceeding my ex wife’s attorney managed to rewrite my original MSA and parentin...g time agreements by introducing a Right of First refusal which had never existed before. In addition to restricting the amount of time I could have with my children due to my work schedule, my ex wife’s attorney was also able to persuade the Court to limit the time my children could spend with their grandparents and my fiancé now wife. To say I came to Matheu with a Mt. Everest sized mountain to climb would be an understatement. Matheu took my case running, he successfully filed a motion to reconsider to fix all the errors of my previous attorney. Matheu knew my case inside and out, answered every question and when we walked into the Court room it was clear he was by far the sharpest knife in the drawer. Matheu respectfully argued my case before a well respected Judge who basically had no other choice then to reverse her earlier decisions much to the dismay of my mentally troubled ex wife. As other people have correctly noted he has an unsurpassed knowledge of Case Law he also has a presence in the Court room that can’t be overstated. I’m writing this review in the hope of saving someone from the heartache I experienced by hiring the wrong attorney the first time around. If your looking for a family law attorney who can best represent you look no further then Matheu Nunn.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have had a number of cases with Mat as opposing counsel over the years. I have found him to be a strong adversary and a zealous advocate for his clients, while always being professional to me, his peers and in the court. Mat is also an attorney whom I will reach out to when I want an opinion on an issue or legal advice, and he is always willing to lend a hand. He is well-respected in the field and provides an excellent balance to his clients of being aggressive and strong, while also being settlement-oriented."

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Nunn is an excellent attorney with a great pedigree as an attorney. When I was Morris County Prosecutor, Mr. Nunn was one of my Assistant Prosecutors. He is a skilled lawyer and advocate, great on the law, and a great writer. He also has the unique ability to combine those legal research skills, with great presentation skills in the courtroom (a unique combination, in my experience). He is a tough advocate, but is always professional in his approach. No worries using this attorney for your matter. You will be well served."
