The Lawyer you need

I contacted Ryan during an extremely traumatic time in my life. My wife and I are engrossed in a court situation that I have no understanding of, and Ryan is exactly what I needed. He is a straight talker who will manage expectations and fought for what I wanted. He defended me in several situations,... gave sound advice on how to protect myself, and is still helping me with my current situation. In and out of the court room Ryan is a professional who will make sure you understand everything that is going on and the options you have. I can honestly say without his expertise I would not be in the excellent position that I am in. I also want to say his office staff are excellent as well and extremely helpful!

Professional, Respected and Compassionate

Mr. Nussey has been handling the enforcement issues of my divorce since 2015. I truly feel as if he has protected my children and me from a narcissistic, angry and vengeful person. He has helped me through enforcement issues around visitation, my ex husbands significant child support arrears, and a p...roperty settlement agreement. Clearly my divorce was complicated and emotional, yet Ryan was always pragmatic, supportive, and very knowledgeable about every aspect of my case. Over the last 7 + years, he has never led me down the wrong path. Mr Nussey Honest, forthright, cuts to the chase and doesn’t waste anyones time. I cannot say enough good things about his positive and compassionate disposition which is balanced with exceptional attention to detail and execution. There is no one better in the business.

Better than I could have hoped for

Ryan Nussey and his team were recommended to me by my divorce lawyer, when my ex filed a false report which later landed me with a Final Restraining order. Ryan was highly recommended for his experience with appeals. But we never even made it to an appellate(?) court. Because Ryan immediately ...recognized how unjustly I had been treated and was able to get the original case retried completely. Saving me a ton of money and grief. As I understand it, an appellate court case would’ve cost way more money correct my situation. Ultimately Ryan had the Final Restraining Order case retried on its merits and won this case for me, having the original ruling fully vacated, by the same judge. He continued to guide me through the a series of follow-up matters and court room appearances, to correct residual effects the original unjust ruling. He is an upstanding man, who genuinely cared about my situation and fought for me with unyielding resolve. In the court room I was floored, and even a bit unnerved. The exchanges between Ryan and the Judge, were often awe inspiring, even if a bit scary. From my perspective, the Judge seemed to be acting as a prosecutor on my ex’s behalf. And in-spite of all the very clear video evidence showing her claims to be lies, the Judge continued to champion her cause. He would often try to shift the focus of the case. Or try to trip me up on some seemingly un-connected detail, all in an attempt to preserve his original ruling. Ryan Nussey was always quick remind the Judge of the rules/laws that even a Judge has to follow. And encouraged the Judge to do just that, leading to much agitation on the judges part. In the end, in-spite of his personal championing and obvious favoring of my Ex, the Judge was left with no choice but to vacate the original FRO because when properly tried on its merits, it had no legs. Ryan actually fought for me. He was sharp, unrelenting, and could recall facts, in great detail, at a moments notice, that I had only just informed him, once earlier that day. I used to think the Judge would always be impartial, and was effectively unquestionable. Ryan proved that notion wrong, and displayed how invaluable a Lawyer is when keeping court room proceedings fair and just. Ryan fought for me, and would not be intimidated into backing down, in-spite of the Judges many attempts. Ryan fought for me, I hope that is clear by now. Him and his team deserve way more then what they collected from me. I will always appreciate what they did.

Up against a narcissist

Ryan was my second lawyer during my Covid divorce from a narcissist. My first lawyer let my ex drag things out and manipulate everything. Ryan and his legal team put a stop to all of the games, and I am now happily divorced and not afraid to go up against my ex. Ryan knows the law and stands firm for... his client. (Plus he has a sense of humor in difficult times.)

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.
