High End Lawyer

Nick resolved one legal matter for me years ago and I've gone to him for business consultations multiple times since. Each of those experiences has been perfect, to the point whenever someone in my personal life has a legal issue, I send them to Nick.

DWI was dropped

We had the pleasure of having Nick represent my wife in a very serious matter where a DWI was alleged. The penalty would have been 6 months of jail time and all sorts of other things. Nick was able to scrutinize the discovery and find flaws in the state's case--enough that the prosecutor decided to d...rop that charge and my wife pleaded to a lesser charge which kept her out of jail. He even fought to try to have them drop that charge, but the prosecutor wouldn't. All in all, we are happy with the outcome. Personality-wise, Nick takes a keen interest in his clients and values them as individuals. You would think you were talking to a long-time friend. He listens carefully to you, appraises the legal angles of everything in your case, and in his own prosecutorial experience is able to make a good assessment of how the case can/will go. We were so pleased that we are going to use him anytime we may have other matters that arise. You can't go wrong when your attorney is a real human being with a heart.

Very Professional; Definitely Great Lawyer to Know

Nick was an exceptional attorney. He was very professional and I think being an ex-prosecutor helps with the relationships he has developed during his career... he knew everyone in the courthouse at my hearing. He was very well-spoken when presenting my case as well, a lot better than the other attor...neys that represented other clients. Highly recommend using his services.

Amazing service and professionalism

I used Nick for my traffic violation and it was seamlessly taken care of, and no points were given only a small fee was charged. My mother also used Nick for her traffic violations and they were reduced in severity really benefiting her. I would definitely recommend Nick to anyone needing legal advis...e.

Professionalism and resources of a large, multi-partner practice but with more focus and investment in my case

I have worked with Mr. Moschella on 1 previous case and have retained him for another case. I first hired him for a custody battle with my ex-wife. We were hoping to settle things through mediation but were unsuccessful, so had we had to appear in front of a judge several times. I'm the week's pri...or to our multiple court dates, Nick made sure I was fully informed of the purpose of each hearing, consulted with me regarding our (his) strategy and made sure I was 100% comfortable with our approach to the matter. After several contentious hearings, Nick's experience, professionalism and knowledge of family law, resulted in a satisfactory outcome in my favor. Because of the positive outcome when I first hired Nick and his relationships in Monmouth and Ocean County, I've recently retained him again to expunge an arrest my record. Although the expungement process is still underway, Nick has informed me of all that is involved with the process, how long the process takes to get the charge expunged and when I can expect the charge to be removed from my record after the expungement has been ordered. Because of Nicks years of experience, knowledge of NJ Law and his successful track record, I would recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer in the Jersey Shore area.

"After having to deal with Mr. Moschella as a prosecutor, I was very excited to hear that he was joining our firm. Mr. Moschella is an extremely talented attorney who has the tremendous benefit of seeing the law from both sides of the table.
