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 lawyerThey 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.

I was extremely fortunate to have Wendy Hickey represent me during my entire divorce process. The professionalism, empathy, and knowledge that she brought to the table during this troublesome time in my life was a cornerstone in the favorable outcome that the court ordered. I can attest that my children and myself are in a much better spot now because of her tireless and meticulous efforts! The office staff as well were both professional, caring, and above all else, prompt. I knew that if I called the office for any detail or question that if they were not able to provide me an answer at that moment, then a response would be forthcoming, usually within the hour. While it was Wendy that represented me, I also knew that we had a full team behind us as well that was 100% involved.Nissenbaum Hickey is truly a firm that is there for you and your children. Wendy was able to explain all the legalese to me in a coherent and consistent manner, and effectively demonstrate the strategy she used to reach our favorable outcome. Divorce is a truly personal and devastating experience to go through. If you are looking for a law firm that is genuinely empathetic, knowledgeable, and has you and your family's best interest at heart then I would strongly urge you to Nissenbaum Hickey.

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.

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.

Divorce is never pleasant, but Nissenbaum Hickey made this tough process as stress free as possible. I have heard stories from other friends about having to chase attorneys and unanswered phone calls - that was never my experience with Wendy Hickey or any of the team at Nissenbaum Hickey. I always felt like I was a priority and even when I was overly emotional they were always empathetic and never dismissive of my emotions. They cover all the bases too - things you wouldn't necessarily think of like tax and other financial ramifications, etc. I would (and have) highly recommend them to anyone who was in need of divorce counsel.

COMPLICATED DIVORCEAfter 11 years of dealing with four of Bostons supposedly top divorce attorneys /firms, I serendipitously ended up at Nissenbaum Law Offices (now Nissenbaum Hickey LLC)I had been married for 20 years, brought up four children, and I wanted my fair share of the assets. The problem was I did not know the value of the assets, and my husband was determined to hide this information and that I should receive as little as possible. As my husband was determined I should receive as little as possible, he had his company attorneys, accountants, bankers, CFOs and CEOs and business partner lie, forge documents, back date documents, hide assets and otherwise work on his divorce. Since this cost him very little, he continued to obstruct and set up roadblocks for all of my previous attorneys. It was not until I hired Jerry Nissenbaum that all the detours were found. Within the first month Jerry Nissenbaum was able to secure what the previous attorneys had not accomplished in several months. He got my arbitration award opened for further evidence. While it took another seven years of battles over documents I did prevail and received my fair share, with the tireless work of Jerry and Wendy Hickey (his law assistant at the time now one of Massachusetts Super Lawyer in Family and Appellate Law, working at the firm of Nissenbaum Hickey LLC)Mine was an extremely complicated divorce. Jerry and Wendy put everything into it for the long haul, by using a few unusual legal procedures/maneuvers to get the right results. Although these procedures were available to my previous attorneys, they were not willing or able to deviate from the cookie cutter approach to divorce even if they were going to be compensated for it. The process engendered increasing antagonism from the other side. Wendy and Jerry just ignored that and continued on in a very easy professional manner, they did not inflame the situation they just went on with the legalities of the divorce process and getting the documents. Wendy was invaluable in managing the truckloads of documents dumped at my house. She devised a system to catalogue them: documents produced and not produced but requested, and so on. Over 100 pages of spreadsheets showed what was produced, what was not produced and the dates and catalogue numbers of their locations. The documents themselves occupied 12 file drawers. In addition, over 100,000 images were cataloged on discs. This system was instrumental in providing the arbitrator with proof of what had been produced or not produced in a simple glance. For many people, the usual course of a divorce does work. It also works for attorneys accustomed to a routine process. For whatever reason, a more complicated divorce doesnt guarantee a process or outcome, which can be devastating for families. My divorce was not going to fit in an ordinary mold; Jerry and Wendy stepped up to the challenge in a totally professional, ethical manner for seven years and never faulted. At all time during those 7 years I could get answers to any question by the end of the day. Drafts of all legal papers were always forwarded to me for my input. They listened to me and pursued my requests; I never heard, Oh well we cant get that or that It wont make any difference, or They told us they dont have it, so we cant do anything. Jerry never gave up; he found the other legal ways to get the documents. If you have a complicated divorce I can recommend the Nissenbaum Hickey firm unequivocally. Mine is an example of one that was handled with perfection!
