Nissenbaum Law Offices

Jerry and Wendy represented me what should have been a simple - but ended up being – a complicated divorce. They were thorough and clear in explaining the process. That prepared me to help our children throughout the long time the case took. They were both easy to get in touch with and prompt in getting back to me. They told me what issues or concerns that we needed to address and those I should not spend money on. They were empathetic and helped me keep my perspective, even while preparing me for trial. They spent time preparing me on how to be a good witness. That reduced the stress and made me better able to listen to and respond to questions. I appreciate their professionalism and understanding and their situational awareness. There was no pushing an agenda, no name calling. They kept it very civil and respectful at all times. And in the end, that helped with the post-divorce environment for our children. Also, at the beginning Wendy and Jerry said what they thought the end result would be. And, that is pretty much what the judge did in his Judgment.

I would highly recommend Nissenbaum Hickey LLC. Jerry and Wendy immediately took charge of my case and developed effective strategies for my divorce. In my opinion, they are in the top 1% of divorce lawyers for both their legal expertise and understanding of the impact of divorce on the family unit. They were able to handle all details, with aplomb, grace, and insight. They worked as a team and returned all calls promptly and were always available. They provided good advice on child custody and welfare. They understood on quite a profound level the nature of my ex-husband which made the process and outcomes more successful. Their support allowed me to focus on my child, recovery from a serious illness and building a new but satisfying life. My life became much less stressful because they handled the divorce so professionally. They were tireless advocates for me but never hostile or impolite to my ex. The financial settlement I received was excellent, fair, and most importantly stood the test of time. I have not had to go back to court and have received substantial capital assets, support for my daughter, and alimony for many years without interruption. I feel this is quite exceptional since my ex- husband was a lawyer They are masters of managing both the psychological and legal aspects of divorce. I would recommend them without reservation.

Wendy Hickey of Nissenbaum Hickey was a very professional, knowledgeable and caring attorney. My husband and I had to deal with a difficult removal situation for our children (cross country move). Wendy was prepared to address every aspect including mediation and the potential hearing. Her guidance was unmatched in making sure that we were making the best decisions for the kids. She was efficient, and she or a member of her team were always available for guidance. Her strategy accomplished our desired outcome without spending excess time or money.

This past year, Wendy Hickey guided me through a divorce with the utmost professionalism and kindness. Having a young son and not being familiar with the court system or even the questions to ask when confronted with needing a divorce, Wendy took the extra time to walk me through all the details, guide me on questions I did not even know to ask, remind me that my son's interest was the most important when I would get off track, and above was reliable, professional, and very adept at handling my ex and his crazy behaviors during a time when I needed it most. She seemed to predict and some how be one step ahead of how I was feeling, what my ex would expect, and the questions I had. She and her firm were always prompt in recognizing my communications, needs, and responding skillfully and promptly. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a educated, skilled, caring, and professional divorce lawyer.

When I needed a divorce attorney, I was fortunate to be referred to Nissenbaum Hickey. Going through a divorce can be an exhausting process but I was lucky to have Wendy & Jerry on my team. They offered excellent advice that was spot on and helped me to navigate the process as efficiently as possible. They were also very available which pleased me - if I sent off an inquiry at night or on the weekend, they were quick to reply. I would highly recommend this office and team to anyone who needs a top notch team that knows how to navigate the process despite what challenges come up along the way.
