Excellent lawyer!

I cannot recommend Nathan highly enough. Although I had what was likely an easy solve from his point of view, for me it was a real contract conundrum. Nathan was clear, quick to respond and incredibly helpful. I felt totally attended to, even though I had a one off problem. It took us a few days o...f chats and back and forth and I never felt that he pushed me off for "bigger" or "better" clients, so I can only imagine how fantastic and attentive he is to regular clients! I will go to him with any issue I have and cannot wait until he can officially be "MY" lawyer. Use him. You will not be disappointed!

Helpful, Knowledgable, and Trustworthy

Mr. Sheffield assisted me with a number of release forms for a screenplay I was shopping. Throughout the process, he was enormously helpful. He always made me feel as though I was in the very best of hands, and he made sure my interests were represented. He made a complicated, and potentially inti...midating, process much easier, and he made sure I fully understood and agreed with each decision along the way. I couldn't be happier with the representation he provided, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an entertainment lawyer.

A Rare Attorney who rates a '10' in treating each client like they are his only client.

Nathan Sheffield is smart and responsive. He returns calls/emails. His written work is excellent. You ask him a question and he doesn't know the answer, he finds it out and does so quickly. Nathan is terrific and for now, his charges are modest - :)

the exceptional barrister

When you tell Nathan what you need to do he never says no or you can't. He always says we will find the best way to that. If you are lucky enough to have Nathan as Your lawyer you will always find him truthful,creative and trustworthy. He is quite simply, amazingly talented.

Not Your Average Attorney-He's a Gem!

Having practiced law in NYC for over a decade and having encountered numerous attorneys, Nathan Sheffield definitely stands out in the crowd. He understands the heart of the issue right away. Having reviewed an entertainment contract for me, he was very insightful and also with a broad vision of wh...at needed to be protected on all media levels. Nathan is a credit to the lawyer race, honest, detail-oriented and fastidious. And that he practices yoga and has a genial personality made the whole experience very pleasant, not the case with many other lawyers.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
