Joseph was extremely helpful and always available to answer any of my questions. I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and I was treated as a friend rather than a client. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. The process was always explained. Joseph fought hard for me. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. Thanks Joseph!

I was overwhelmed with the unusual circumstances of my custody battle. After being advised by many well meaning friends and neighbors that I shouldn’t expect the court to rule in my favor, I meet Mr Nivin and he assured me that he would be able to help me secure the terms needed to keep the child safe. Mr. Nivin was very patient and a good listener. His calm manner helped me stay calm and I will always remember Mr. Nivin with gratitude.

This is the first time I EVER write a review. Joe was recommended by a very close friend. He advised me the process on a child custody case would take approx. 2 years. He went out of his way to keep my costs down. Seven months later I was awarded full custody of my little girl. Joe Nivin cared and saved her life.
