I can’t say enough good things about Nuzzo Law. From the moment I walked into her office, I felt supported and understood during a challenging time in my life. She approached my case with compassion, professionalism, ethically, and has a depth of knowledge that immediately put my mind at ease. What truly sets Nicole apart is her ability to listen. She took the time to understand my situation thoroughly and offered tailored advice that made a real difference. Communication was always clear and prompt; I never felt left in the dark about my case. Nicole is not only a brilliant strategist but also a fierce advocate for her clients. She navigated negotiations with grace and tenacity. She understands how to manage various personalities which allows her to be incredibly effective. I also appreciated the way Nicole handled the emotional aspects of family law. She showed genuine empathy and understanding, which made a difficult process feel a bit lighter. Her support extended beyond just legal advice; she offered insights that helped me cope with the emotional toll of my situation. If you’re looking for a family law attorney who combines legal acumen with genuine care for her clients, look no further than Nicole with Nuzzo Law. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of family law services. You will be in excellent hands!

I hired Nicole for a divorce case. The divorce was ultimately filed in a different jurisdiction so I didn't get to see the full process through with her and her team, but I greatly appreciated their expertise, professionalism, and empathy throughout my time working with them. With their help, I felt informed and prepared to navigate the challenges of the divorce process. While I hope I never need these types of services again, I would definitely hire Nicole if I did and will recommend her as a resource for anyone I know who needs a good family law attorney!

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 all 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!

Completely unprofessional. Nicole Nuzzo was rude & condescending right from the start of our conversation. She talked over me, talked down to me, wasn’t willing to listen and was insulting. To top it off, Nicole decided to give me her personal opinion (after only 30 min on the phone) that “The writing is on the wall… your marriage isn’t going to work”… I hadn’t asked for her fortune-telling advice on whether my marriage was going to work out, as we were talking about a postnup. Also, I mentioned advice I received from another attorney who’s a professor, Nicole quipped back at me in a condescending tone, “Yeah, I’m a professor too... that doesn’t mean anything” (great way to promote yourself Nicole). All of this was done on our first consultation call, where I was looking to potentially hire her/ her firm. For being in family law, Nicole completely lacks compassion for other human beings while they’re going through what is likely people’s scariest, most stressful & saddest time in their lives. Don’t even bother paying for a consultation with her! Save yourself the money & frustration.

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.

Don’t waste your time talking to her. Nicole is really, truly clueless. I don’t understand how she passed the bar.

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 large 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. Nicole Nuzzo would the best divorce lawyer you could have helping you successfully navigate through a divorce.

I retained the firm of Bremer Whyte Brown & O'Meara, and had the pleasure of working Nicole Nuzzo. Nicole took a hands on approach to my case, and took the time to get to know me and the details surrounding my situation. She was always available to answer my calls and emails, and always explained things thoroughly. She was thoughtful in her strategies, very detailed and always kept me Informed every step of the way. She was able to work with my limited budget, and used my funds to support my case methodically. Ultimately Nicole was successful in obtaining my desired outcome and I couldn't be happier!

The divorce process is a road nobody ever expects to walk, but when it occurs, seeking the expertise of a top Family Law Attorney is a must. It is a pleasure to recommend Nicole Nuzzo, Attorney at Law, who demonstrated tremendous intricate knowledge of the law to obtain the best possible outcome for my divorce proceeding. Ms. Nuzzo's careful recommendations and insights enabled navigating, not only through present concerns, but also protections for future financial concerns in the final divorce decree. Nicole Nuzzo guided the divorce process with knowledge, fairness and respect. At a time in my life of extreme duress she was brilliant, compassionate and went above and beyond my expectations.

Nicole Nuzzo was my attorney for an unusually complicated divorce - child support, spousal support, property division, business assets, custody and etc. She is not only dedicated to her clients , her knowledge of the law is impeccable in court. Also she is always one step ahead. Nicole was truly an advocate for my complicated and life changing situation and for my children and I's well being and I will never forget it. I highly recommend her!

I retained Nicole Nuzzo for an uncontested dissolution matter. Nicole was overly and unnecessarily aggressive, She over litigated my case and over billed. She did not listen to my concerns and basically just ran the case how she wanted to. The end result was that I was grossly overcharged for the results that my exhusband and I had agreed to from the start.
