Amy Miller, Divorce and separation Attorney on Dec 2, 2020
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.
Robert Bianchi, Family Attorney on Apr 25, 2014
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.

Matheu is one of the great legal minds in the State of New Jersey. We worked together at the Morris County Prosecutor's Office and on several major crimes cases together. Matheu is intelligent, professional, ethical and a frequent contact in my practice for consultations.

I have had the opportunity to handle cases against Mr. Nunn, as well as discuss matters with him as a colleague. He is both, a tough opponent and a consummate professional. I highly recommend this attorney.
