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.

Knowledgeable, Responsive and Caring

Ryan provided me with excellent representation during a high-conflict divorce. His guidance, expertise and advice brought about a successful resolution to my case. I knew I would receive a quick response to any questions or issues which arose. Divorce is a stressful time but I felt reassured knowing ...that Ryan and his staff were looking out for my best interests.

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!

An absolutely AMAZING lawyer!!!

If you want an attorney who knows what he is doing and can get the job done right, Ryan is all you will ever need. I went to Ryan after my divorce was finalized. I was in a bad place due to the first attorney not handling my case properly. Ryan went above and beyond to handle my situation. Ryan h...as a reputation of excellence and has proven that hands down. His knowledge in family law is incredible. Ryan and his team took the time to explain how the process would work. Any questions I had, Ryan did not hesitate to take the time to answer. I can't say enough about Ryan and his team. Ryan put my trust back into the legal system and will be the only attorney I will ever use. Thank you Ryan for everything.

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
