Excellent Attorney

Ryan represented me through my bitter divorce. My ex misused DYFS against me and I went through hell than back. Ryan fought for me and today I have joint Custody and am the Parent of Primary Residence. Ryan is very bright and well schooled in the law. He presents very well and is highly articulate. R...yan is a very fine court room litigator.

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.

HIRE Ryan Nussey NOW!!!

I highly recommend Ryan Nussey. He is VERY knowledgeable and kept me informed of everything during the whole process. He was also very intimidating to my ex husband and his lawyer. My ex has said that I have a prick for a lawyer- good. That means Ryan did his job. I felt very comfortable with Ryan... by my side in divorce court. Hire Ryan, he is well worth it.

Great Representation!

By far, Mr. Nussey has been the most informed, conscientious and easy to work with attorney I've dealt with. My divorce was a very difficult one and Ryan was able to keep me calm, focused and complete the litigation in a professional manner. I would recommend Ryan hands down for any legal matter, ...he will walk you through the process and keep you informed and updated.

a very unfortunate regret

I felt completely neglected the entire time. I spoke to numerous lawyers after that confirmed this. I think he felt this was an easy divorce and wrote me off. After my consultation I felt complete minimal contact and I still don't understand a lot of what I was consenting to but felt pressured. I wa...s also told I will not litigate furniture so I felt pressured to just be agreeable to an ex that is a predator and uses this as excuses to show up to the house or be present when he feels like it even post divorce. If I could take it all back I would. I was being forwarded emails from my ex's attorney instead of direct communication or advice from my lawyer... and this person I was divorcing stalked and controlled me for years and continued to do that and I had no defense on my side. I was incredibly let down and hurt and disappointed.
