Nicole Nuzzo

I retained Nicole for the purpose of negotiating a buyout settlement with my former wife. Nicole was extremely detailed and thorough in every aspect of the negotiations. She was able to tactically work with my former wife throughout the entire negotiations. The end result was favorable for al...l parties concerned. I was able to payoff my former wife and move forward with my life with know more alimony payments I would highly recommend Nicole’s expertise for all aspects of family life. Thank you Nicole for your amazing work .

Nicole was the right choice to handle my recent divorce proceeding. She was professional all the way through and I am very happy with the results of my case. She took charge from the beginning and although we were on opposite sides with an attorney, a forensic accountant and an ex-husband who wanted ...to challenge our positions every step of the way, Nicole did not back down ever and always fought for me to get me the best result possible. She did not sugarcoat anything - she explained my positions from a legal standpoint and if the laws were not on my side on a particular issue, she explained why. She is extremely thorough in her preparations and was always several steps ahead of the opposing counsel, which worked to our advantage. I wanted to get through the process as quickly as possible and I provided everything in a timely manner and Nicole and her team took it from there. I felt that we were a team working toward the same goal and we settled the case in about a year. There was never a time when I was waiting on her to get something done; Nicole was always on top of things and always returned calls or responded to emails quickly and efficiently. Nicole is very knowledgable about family law and really understands the legal environment in Orange County. During my case, she moved from a larger firm to a smaller, boutique family law practice as a partner. She explained her decision to do this as her wanting to have a better ability to serve her clients in the most favorable way possible, and I did find this to be the case after she made the transition. Nicole makes sure that whoever is assisting her in her practice is competent and professional. I was referred to Nicole through a family member who knows her from her work on the Orange County Bar Assoc. Ethics Committee. When opposing counsel or my ex became combative, Nicole firmly pointed out our positions, backing her assertions with facts based in law, and never tolerated disrespect or unethical behavior on the part of opposing side. She always handled any conflict with a firm understanding of the law, and a high standard of ethics. The opposing side knew that she was a force to be reckoned with, but she was never disrespectful and always expected propriety from everyone on both sides. Nicole conveyed confidence, integrity, and professionalism throughout the year-long divorce process. Nicole made sure that I understood what the future may hold in regard to modification of my court orders and she worked diligently during the proceeding to document all pertaining facts and to make sure that whatever may come later would be prepared for with substantial evidence and information relevant to my case. Nicole was also very responsive to my questions and inquiries and has remained so even though my case is now complete. I know that I can always count on her if I need her in the future. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an intelligent, ethical, knowledgable family law attorney who will guide and advise them through what is very likely an emotionally difficult and challenging time. Nicole had the right amount of empathy for what I was going through, but also knew how to steer me toward getting to the end result - freedom from a marriage that was not working. Nicole made sure that I would have a future with the financial support that I deserved after a long term marriage and she really wanted the best for me personally, which I really appreciated. I always felt that she was on my side from start to end and I am very happy that she represented me. Nicole is a great family law attorney and she is a credit to her profession. Thank you Nicole!

I had a difficult, complicated case with a past divorce issue, back child and spousal support and a home with a lien on it. Nicole was amazing, articulate, knowledgeable and creative in handling my case. I would highly recommend her. I have had many other law firms try and help me, but she was the... only one who went above and beyond to settle all the issues and allow me to move on. I am forever grateful to have worked with her.

Going through a divorce just plain sucks but the process can be made less painful if one makes the very wise and ultimately very cost effective decision to have one of the best divorce lawyers in Southern California working for you. This is especially important if minor children are involved or larg...e estates. ( Save money by taking a cheaper vacation- not getting a cheaper lawyer.) I was referred to Nicole by my corporate law firm and I did research on her and was pleased to find she qualified as a Certified Family Law Specialist from the California Bar- the best of the best in divorce work. Nicole was indeed the smartest lawyer in the room and just as impressive to me was her firm commitment to the ethical practice of law that was as strong as her commitment to me as her client. She also had an amazing sensitivity to how stressful and emotion laden the entire process was for me even though I was the one who initiated the divorce. I would recommend Nicole in a heartbeat. Divorce is an unpleasant event no matter how bad you want to get the divorce. There is an old saying that having brain surgery and getting a divorce are two times you want to have the most mature, experienced and knowledgable professional working for you.
