Divorce review

Nicholas was referred by a friend and I was grateful that I received the referral. I interviewed multiple attorneys prior to engaging him and, as he predicted upfront, I called him and simply stated "There's no question; you're the one for me." As one can imagine, the complications and emotions su...rrounding a divorce are huge. Nicholas' understanding of the law and how the system works removed all of my concerns about making certain my perspective and thoughts would be properly aired. He was quick to provide helpful advice and insight when needed -- which on occasion was as simple as "Calm down; there's no reason to get excited." Furthermore, he was a vigilant defender of my opinion and effectively and successfully argued on my behalf when the need arose. Obviously, it would be ideal if this type of representation were never needed, but unfortunately life sometimes makes other plans. If you do happen to find yourself in that situation, my advice and recommendation is simple: hire Nicholas.

"I have known Mr. Nicholas Buscemi in the capacity as a fellow colleague. At all times, I have found him to be reliable, very efficient, intelligent and courteous. He treats his clients with the utmost respect and takes a personal interest in the outcome of their case. There are many attorneys in each state, but there are only a few that I would choose if I were a client myself.

Family lawyer | Feb 02

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer without reservation. We worked together on a difficult case and we were able to reach resolution without the services of the Court. Mr. Buscemi is knowledgeable about the Law and the workings of the Court system. He is thorough in preparing documentation which made my job easier. And he is great to work with. He responds to email and letters very quickly which helps to keep the case moving along. And he was cordial throughout the matter. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for an advocate and is interested in settlement. But do not overlook the fat that Mr. Buscemi is also a skilled Trial attorney."
