Life saver

Ryan did and continues to do a fantastic job handling my case, which has had many ups and downs I retained Ryan after my divorce was final. I thought I was in a no win situation with my ex husband and the tides are turning. We are in the nastiest of custody disputes and because of Ryan's diligence ...and expertise I feel for the first time in years I have a chance to resolve the issues.

Excellent Attorney

Ryan is a fantastic attorney; smart, responsive, a great advocate for children's wellbeing and knows NJ marital & family law inside out. He took my very complex case and whilst he was confident in a successful outcome from day 1, he managed my expectations, gave me a clear timeline and was realist...ic about what could be achieved. Ryan patiently answered all of my questions, called me weekly to check in and was thoroughly prepared at every juncture. Ryan is extremely confident, especially in the court room and fought for me and my children every step of the way, I had previous negative experience with another firm and Ryan and the team at his office were like a breath of fresh air. I could not be more thankful for the progress made in my case in a significantly shorter time than expected and feel confidence that the remaining lesser issues will be handled with the same professionalism and attention to detail. The best decision I made in this entire process was retaining Ryan.

A Mother's and Children's Advocate

I met Ryan Nussey at the most trying time in my life. My kids had been taken from me and I had no knowledge of the New Jersey court systems. Thrown into the ring I had no idea whom to turn to and I interviewed with a few attorneys. The other attorneys wanted a certain fee to speak with me or they... wouldn't even entertain my case.The other issue I had after being blindsided into a divorce was trust. Ryan heard everything I had to say. He did not rush me and made me feel at ease with him and right away I knew I could trust this man with the advocacy of my children's rights! I felt helpless when I had entered his office but left with my self esteem back and with a solid plan. At every turn when I thought perhaps we were defeated this man amazed me by anticipating not only my needs and the needs of my children but what our next move would be and how we would be able to get the job done in a timely manner. To say I am impressed with Mr. Nussey would do him an injustice. He is outstanding in his presence, timeliness, keeping me informed and well educated. I wouldn't just recommend that you use Ryan Nussey for your divorce needs or your custody battle, he is the only attorney that I would recommend to anyone in the area. He is the whole package. Finding an attorney with a conscious and ethical manner with an impeccable business manner, how could you loose? I know I will not with Ryan Nussey at bat for me and my children.

My lawyer is truly CAPTIVATING!!!

I was referred to this lawyer by one of my friends lawyers. I really didn't know what to expect. My ex was filing for full custody, to become parent of primary residency, terminate my child support, and seek to collect child support. Even better, he was trying to use our 14 yr old son's diagnosis o...f adhd and autism against me!!! I was nervous and scared! My lawyer captivated and won the judges respect immediately! I was in complete awe watching this man argue my case. The other lawyer looked like a complete unprepared idiot and was even yelled at by the judge! Filing my divorce now! Can't wait for that trial. I feel truly confident to finally move forward because I finally have someone in my corner who understands and knows how to expose my ex for the person he really is! I will reccomend this lawyer to anyone in need of a strong defense! He truly cares about his clients and I am very grateful to have him.
