Outstanding attorney for racism-involved police brutality cases
I am writing this review because, from telephone consultations with Mr Nathan, and reviewing work he has done for people in my community who are victims of racism-involved police misconduct, I am highly impressed by his ethics and his professionalism, as well as his outstanding track record of fighting zealously for clients and winning generous - and fair - settlements.

Civil Rights Violation
I'd actually had Shneur in my sights for some time before emailing him, given the excellent reviews of his Firm's track record & website's content. He patiently took the time to listen & ask me questions even while I rambled on regarding an unpleasant Civil-Rights Violation episode. I didn't have much time before a deadline to File a complaint Claim, and he explained the where, when, what, how & why all very clearly. A true human being!

Shneur Nathan was the perfect lawyer for my case
I had a very challenging situation, both monetary and emotionally. Shneur Nathan was the consummate lawyer for me. He was totally attentive to all details, measured in his judgment, and wise in his counsel. All of his communications with us were detailed, but always clear to our laymen ears. My wife and I had total trust in his honesty and integrity throughout our ordeal. Dealing with Shneur Nathan made a difficult time period for us much easier. And the bottom line is that he delivered results that went truly beyond our expectations when the case began. At the end of the case, he was modest about his achievements and he expressed gratitude that he was able to be of help us. If every lawyer were of this caliber, we would have a much finer justice system. I most highly recommend him.

quick full settlement. great process
Within a very short time period (approx 4 months) got us a full refund (over $60,000) for a small class action that was filed against several parties. He fought for a full refund and that his fee should be paid by the defendand and not from our funds even though we would have been willing to pay him from the settlement. We also were not expecting such quick closure on this matter. The defendant was ready to fight this until the bitter end and turned around very quickly once the suit was filed. We were kept well informed but not to the point that we felt like we were in middle of the mess. There were updates as progress was made. Overall very happy with the whole process and of course the outcome. We also felt that he really understood our problem and that he would fight for us because he believed in our side. I believe that is why the outcome was so good.

Can highly recommend
Attorney Nathan successfully won our lawsuit, and did so in a matter of months. He kept us informed, was dedicated to our case and got us exactly the settlement we asked for.

Thank you Shneur
Shneur took on a new challenge with a fishing related ticket, did the research and handled the matter in court with ease…we are very happy with his work and his professional knowledge! Charge was dropped and no fines were paid.

Great Attorney !!!
Snheur was very professional while handling the case I was involved in. He always updated me and notified me with anything new or important pertaining to our case. He was very honest and forthcoming when discussing our case, and always included me in any decisions that needed to be made. I would defiantly recommend him to anyone needing a good, hardworking and most importantly, trustworthy, attorney.

One of the best Lawyers I've ever dealt with!
In my profession I've dealt with multiple attorneys over a 29 year career. Shneur has by far been the most know ledged, professional and truthful attorney. Shneur has personally represented me on two separate occasions within the last year or so. In one of the matters, he was not only able to prove me "not liable", he also, through his vast knowledge of law and ability to research details outside the field of law, was able to prove the plaintiff lied. He did this by providing expert testimony from medical professionals along with case law supporting such. Shneur Zalman Nathan has shown me time and time again just how professional attorneys can be when they practice their trade honorably and with their client in mind. Lastly, when you walk out of a court room with Shneur, you'll know you were represented by the best attorney in the court room.
