Child Custody

Hired Law Firm

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.

The attorneys were very knowledgeable about the matter I was facing and their careful guidance was helpful. It was an upsetting matter and they understood the emotional as well as the legal challenges that I was facing.

Joseph Nivin is the best lawyer that I have ever worked with. I highly recommend him to all of my friends and family. He was understanding, diligent supportive with my highly sensitive case. He made a very stressful and trying situation much easier on me and my family. Most importantly, he was honest, fair and extremely intelligent. He commands respect and he is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom.

Joseph was amazing. From our first meeting he was very upfront with regards to the process and what to expect. He won my case. Very pleased with his services.

Mycase was a several-month long chess game to which for every offensive move made against me Joseph had an equal and effective countermeasure. He was always proactive and was prompt to reply to questions and concerns. His calm thoughtful demeanor made for a comforting and effective ally. I will always be grateful to him. I am 100% certain that if anybody could help you it's Joseph Nivin

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. Call him for honesty in this tumultuous legal war zone.

Mr. Nivin is very responsive and kind, a rare find in an attorney. His advice was on point and he won the case.

Hired Attorney Joseph Harris Nivin

Mr. Joseph Nivin and his associate Maria Ameen are unethical and are reprehensible. They were supposed to serve the person I was getting a protection order, but they never did. The Judge wanted to serve the person injuring me thru the Sheriff but they refused the Judge and requested a process server instead. The person injuring me was never, ever served. If I went to court myself, the person would have definitely been served with the Sheriff. Instead, Joseph Nivin and Maria Ameen said they would use a processing server. Joseph Nivin and Maria Ameen lied to me repeatedly. They told me my hearing would be converted to virtual without a doubt and yet it was never converted to virtual. It was like Joseph Nivin and Maria Ameen were sabotaging me. They charged me $4,500.00 and I got no service, and they made things substantially worse for me. Mr. Joseph Nivin kept insisting I give him more and more money while his legal representation was abysmal and totally counterproductive.

Mr Nivin is a terrible lawyer. The other reviews are fake. He dragged my case on longer than it needed to be so he could continue to bill me. Additionally he was friends with opposing counsel and once I terminated his services he told opposing counsel information that I told him as my attorney while he represented me. This is privileged information even after you terminate an attorney it is not supposed to be divulged. Opposing counsel tried to use that information against me. I had to pay another attorney a lot of money to fight what he did off. I finally found a good lawyer who resolved my case the first month I hired him. I was with Nivin a few years as he billed me.

 
Response from The Law Offices of Joseph H. Nivin, P.C.
I am sorry to see this. She had a worthy cause. She previously left a great review. After we parted ways, she asked me to take her case back. Our relationship broke down due to a fee dispute. I never divulged privileged information. I never would.
