A Lawyer Who Cared Enough To Try

Natalie was the first lawyer who gave me the confidence to think that I could beat my DUI case. Five lawyers prior had pretty much encouraged me to spend several thousands of dollars with them, only to sit back and plea guilty. Without a doubt I can say that none of them cared one bit about my case. ...But Natalie discussed with me, in detail, our options for actually winning my case. This was a first, so I gave her a shot. Six months later, Natalie helped me beat my DUI case. What more could I say...

Excellent Attorney

I have used Natalie on 3 occasions. Two involved some teenage incidents around underage drinking and driving along with a potential DUI event. All three issues were handled expeditiously with positive outcomes for each incident. She is great at keeping you informed and communicates via both phone... and e-mail in a clear and timely fashion. I will continue to utilize her when the situation arises.

Lost without her

I had my first encounter with the law in 53 years; a DUI. I was terrified of the system, the paperwork, it was all overwhelming. I don't kow what I would have done without Natalie. She walked me through every step. Met me at the courthouse, keep me informed and followed up with every detail. She... returned my phone calls and was sympathetic to my fears. I couldn't have asked for a better person and professional lawyer. I am still grateful to her.

Great Experience

Natalie was informative, helpful, engaging, professional, and always willing to answer questions. She made a stressful process easy and as painless as possible. She took care of absolutely everything and I would recommend her services to anyone.

Natalie Mihalek will make you feel Safe and Informed

Never having dealt with anything like this before I was terrified. Everyone tells you that you can go through the process alone, but there is a lot to understand. I was referred to Natalie and it was the best decision I made. Not only is she there for you through the steps but she answers your questi...ons anytime. Her email and telephone responses were always very quick. She also doesn't expect you to understand legal jargon, she made me feel very safe and informed. I would recommend Natalie to anyone seeking a lawyer.

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.
