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.

ELITE, TOP TIER, THE ABSOLUTE BEST

I hired Ryan as my attorney in an extremely trying time. My ex-wife decided that she was going to move to another state with my two children and there was nothing that I could do to stop her. Her move was imminent, and we literally had 24 hours to react before she left the state. I met Ryan at 7am ...in the morning after our consultation to review my case (two hours before his practice opens). I sat in the office that morning as Ryan crafted approximately a 50-page document. In that document, he filed a stop order (basically preventing my ex from leaving the state with the children), primary custody, rights to the house that I lost in the divorce, child support and lawyer fees. To make a long story short, I am now the primary custodial parent, I have regained my home that I lost in the divorce and I was awarded child support and lawyer fees. Ryan made a miracle happen when the odds were stacked against me. Ryan is truly dedicated to his job and makes me feel like I am his only client. If you are looking for the best, look no further! Because of Ryan's devotion, my children are now living in a stable environment and my family has never been happier. Ryan goes above and beyond, and I will always be grateful for what he has done for my family. He is truly one of a kind!

Outstanding and Efficient!

Ryan's reputation of excellence is well-deserved. I read reviews on here prior to hiring him that you DON'T want to be against this lawyer, and after seeing him in action in court I agree COMPLETELY and am SO grateful he was on our side!! Ryan is a no-BS attorney. He did exactly what he said he was g...oing to do for us, and did not waste our time or money at all. Even in 11th hour negotiations with the other party, he just GOT IT DONE. He was efficient and timely in all of his communications with us and he has an outstanding support staff at the office who provide the same level of service and attention to detail. We worked with Carolyn a good bit on our case and I can tell you she was a true professional. If I ever have to deal with anything legal again, Ryan is the only person I will call. THIS is the guy you want on YOUR side. We had another attorney lined up for our relocation case until a friend insisted we at least talk to Ryan first. It was a no-brainer as soon as we talked to him we hired him on the spot. So I'm passing on the same advice, if you are even considering hiring someone else, at least TALK to Ryan first. OUTSTANDING ATTORNEY. And I'm sure my opponent would agree as well. lol

Matrimonial, child support

Mr Nussey is a very knowledgeable attorney. His quick response to all concerns is very refreshing. He returns phone calls promptly. He is very thorough with all motions, etc. I would highly recommend Ryan Nussey.

Beware of DRN

Terrible person here. Just asks for money and doesn’t do his job. Multiple calls and emails not returned. When I first came to him he was great helped defused a tough situation. As years went on just asked for $2,500 every time I needed something done and never helped after that. Missed multiple app...earances in courts and didn’t notify me on my last custody date. Steer clear from him. He was penalized for a reason.
