Helped me win primary custody as a father

I have been a client of Ryan's since 2014. He has been professional, courteous and knowledgeable. I had to go through hell with my ex-wife just to see my daughter. Ryan helped me hold her accountable and we won every single motion in court. Eventually, we had a trial and he helped me win primary cust...ody of my daughter. He never made any errors and my voice came through loud and clear in his representation. He is always prompt and his prices are very reasonable and fair for the service he provides. If you are a father who keeps getting jerked around by a mother who isn't following the court established rules, Ryan is your go-to lawyer to hold them accountable and get your rights back. I have nothing but amazing things to say about Ryan. As a father in family court it's hard enough with biases against you. Ryan knows what he is doing and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my case in NJ. Thanks to Ryan, we now live a peaceful life and my daughter is happy. If you need help, please see this man.

Best decision I made

I hired Ryan in 2015 and he has represented me in all of my custody hearings. I had every outcome favor me in every motion filed. I was an out of state father coming into my sons mother county thinking that would work against me. I was mostly impressed with how his aggressiveness arguing the exhibits... seemed so smooth. It’s a fine line to navigate without coming off as aggressive. And just as impressive was the in between the court hearings , I’m an anxious guy by nature and the calmness that came over me with just the way he communicated with me was very reassuring.... What kind of relationship I will have with my son would come down to who will fight hardest for me in court, I chose Ryan and he didn’t let me down

Resolving a financial issue having to do with our adult son going back to school for a 2nd degree..

I recently had a difficult case that Ryan resolved for me.. I had been turned down by 11 other lawyers to take my case. ( my ex is in the legal system in NJ) No one wanted to go against my ex husband)... to make a long story short. Ryan willingly took me on as a client and won the case!.. I can’t tel...l you how grateful I am . My case is simple.. our 26 year old emancipated son wanted to go back to school for a 2nd degree. Well.. My ex husband , without involving me in any conversation having to do with this expected me to pay for half of this expensive private school.. He wanted to ‘’unemancipate’ our son. .. I would highly recommend him and would definitely hire him again if I ever needed help!

Unrivaled...

After paying alimony for nearly 15 years my husband sought some expert opinions regarding possible modification and or termination due to his inability to continue paying upon retirement, a crucial matter which was NOT even addressed in the final divorce decree. In light of the amended alimony ...reform he met with two attorneys, one of which was actually involved in the alimony reform. Both attorneys felt he did not meet the new guidelines and therefore, would be bound to fulfill his obligation of "lifetime" alimony. A few days later he was referred to Ryan Nussey. We met with Ryan and he immediately made us feel at ease. He was straightforward, honest and blunt but also, very understanding. His knowledge of family law is exceptional and his confidence was very uplifting. He envisioned the entire process and was prepared to move forward. He and his colleague, Carolyn, made us feel like we were their only clients. Every phone call, e-mail, or question was immediately addressed. We met in October and as of March 31, 2020 my husband's alimony is TERMINATED!!! My husband can finally breathe!! Klineburger and Nussey. Ryan Nussey. The ONLY family law attorney you will ever need. Trust us, you are doing yourself a great injustice by not using Ryan Nussey. A huge thank you to Ryan, Carolyn, and all the staff! We are eternally grateful.

Excellent attorney

Mr. Nussey is an outstanding attorney. He is professional yet compassionate, organized and knowledgeable, pragmatic and straight forward. Mr. Nussey handled several motions for me, centered upon enforcement of my FJD. We were successful in each motion because he is brilliant and is very well respecte...d.
