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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Attorney Kevin Seaver and his staff went above and beyond when defending my family from Massachusetts DCF. From our first conversation he put me at ease and calmed my nerves. Because he specializes exclusively in DCF it made me confident that I could trust him to protect me and my children. In the end DCF closed our case and we didn't lose our kids to foster care. Attorney Seaver was worth every penny!

Attorney Kevin Seaver is a great lawyer who helped me keep my family together. When I first came in, I felt scared and alone. After talking to Attorney Seaver I have never felt more confident. He gave me the reassurance I needed to know that DCF was not going to take my children. In the end, Attorney Seaver kept my family together and got DCF out of my life. He is the best in the business and I give him my highest rating!

Almost a year now I’ve been stuck with DCF in my family’s lives. I was wondering almost 6 months into DCF entering our lives what I could do to protect my family especially my child because after all the negative feedback I’ve read about DCF and the way they where moving with my case it confirmed everything I read, I decided to take action. I went online a started looking for a amazing lawyer but with a reasonable price. Attorney Kevin Seaver was my #6 in my list but after our phone interview he became my #1 choice. He first explained to me how DCF works, then explained to me what steps we can take in my case with keeping in mind every case is different, I was scared what was coming next the retainer the hourly rate the paper work fee “( but attorney Seaver is not like all these lawyers in Boston that just want to steal your money, he said to me “George right now the most important thing in your life is to protect your family and not let DCF take your child because believe me they will, my rate is a flat rate you can put a down payment and we can set up weekly or bi-weekly payment plans”. I was so relieved and excited at the same time because I knew my family is protected now. I can go to work enjoy life with my family knowing that we have attorney Kevin Seaver on our side. Getting back to my case, DCF filed a 51A took them weeks/ months to hand over the file they kept writing so many negative allegations about my family that where not true attorney Seaver got those allegations unsupported with no file sent to him even though he requested the file about 2-4 times via email. As soon as the unsupported letter was sent to us we where so relieved and happy joyful knowing it was finally over but DCF doesn’t give up so easily. DCF filed a new 51A saying “ we have new allegations that have been brought to our attention” yet they still didn’t provide no file and my attorney my family where shocked. Attorney Seaver is a very nice person very straight to point he will tell you what reality is when it comes to these cases no sugar coating anything so he did what he’s best at and wrote a long email to the DCF Lawyer, DCF case worker, (I forgot to mention DCF got their DCF lawyer involved and this case is not even in for trail or court) bottom line if you want a lawyer that’s the BEST I would highly recommend Attorney Kevin Seaver and follow his instructions I repeat follow his INSTRUCTIONS. Thank you Attorney Kevin Seaver shoutouts to Frankly and team! Sincerely, George Saldana
