Stop looking! You found him.

Mr. Olson is an excellent lawyer who treats clients with patience, care, understanding, and utmost professionalism. He thoroughly explained things so I could understand. From the very beginning, he provided clarity, reassurance, and a sense of comfort during an incredibly difficult time. He took the ...time to explain every step of the process in a clear and straightforward manner, ensuring that I felt informed and empowered to make the best decisions for my future. Anyone who has the chance to work with Mr. Olson is incredibly fortunate. If you're looking for a divorce attorney who will advocate for you, I wholeheartedly recommend him. I am extremely grateful for all of Mr. Olson’s help and bearing with me through everything.

Outstanding!

Mr. Olson resolved a complex QDRO issue for me. My stress was reduced knowing the legal issue was competently managed by Mr. Olson.

Couldn't ask for better

Nathan was incredibly well prepared, well-versed, and able to navigate an extremely difficult (perhaps unprecedented) set of cases. Dealing with an ex-wife, a biological child, a non-biological custodial child, a biological father for that custodial child, and many other nuances, Nathan was able to n...avigate all of those circumstances and was able to win both of my cases. At every step he was clear in explaining what he thought the best course of action would be and why. He was honest in his assessment of what was likely to occur (and was correct in each and every case). He was everything you could ever hope for in a lawyer and I couldn't have been more fortunate to have hired him. Well worth the price.

Thoughtful & Professional

I connected with Nathan's firm after an internet search and was connected with him as a part of my divorce in 2013. My particular situation was hostile, fast moving and complicated by both children and the poor advice I received from a previous lawyer. Nathan changed everything for me --- he immediat...ely provided me with helpful realistic guidance on the many issues I faced. He explored my situation with me and with his firm, always providing clear, thoughtful perspectives while outlining the pros & cons of my decision making; never promising an outcome, never failing to offer his recommendations on the best possibilities of what were often only mediocre & bad outcomes. He made me feel comfortable with the process and trade-offs at every stage. Six years later, Nathan continues to assist me through financial, custodial and procedural issues. I am grateful for Nathan's service to me and my family. My life is in a better place as a direct result of his professional and thoughtful approach to me and my challenges.

Evan Rice - Client

I came to Nathan with a complicated international divorce. To tell the truth, thought I was going to be told it was impossible. He called me the next day and told me he figured out all the international nuances and it was full stream ahead. Finalized much sooner than expected and am getting a refund... on my retainer. Also have to give a shout out to his paralegal Cheri Federici. She is a delight who really knows her job. Well done folks. I would recommended Nathan and team to anyone.
