Fabulous Attorney!

I just wrapped up what could have been a very difficult divorce. With the help of Attorney, Nick Pugesek of Ventrelli and Simon, I was able to dissolve my marriage with zero hiccups and was able to retain all non-marital assets. What I appreciated most was the sensitivity given to my case and to me.... This was a very difficult decision and I was treated with the utmost professionalism and compassion throughout the entire process. Lastly, communication was spot on. I was informed throughout each phase of the process on what to expect. I am very grateful to have hired Nick. I highly recommend him.

Proactive, empowering, informative, amazing communication!

Nick has been extremely proactive, informative, and sensitive with my case. If I ever had any concerns or couldn’t understand formal legal concepts or processes, he was always patient and willing to explain so that I could gain more knowledge around my case to better understand and move forward with ...decisions. He was also very practical and timely, making sure to loop Mario into the bigger decisions and concerns that I had. The case itself made me feel anxious, but Nick always provided relief with his prompt communication and attentiveness. I knew he had multiple other cases while simultaneously working on mine, but I always felt empowered and confident during/after speaking with him. I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish my goals within my case without Nick and Mario.

Missing Children

Nick was part of the team that i hired for my divorce. When i hired them my ex had taken my children and hidden them from me. From my first step to the very day that I signed the final divorce papers, Nick was there making sure I understood everything in plain English. Every court date in person or o...nline and every single form. I could tell that he empathised with my situation as a human being. Waking up to an empty house is by far the scariest thing that has ever happened to me. I'm sure there were times when i was close to hysterical. Never once did i feel like a burden when dealing with Nick. Quite the opposite. I truly don't know if i would have a relationship with my children without Nick's intervention.
