When you are in need of an attorney, look to the one who has and will be with you long after the trial. Nathan sat down with my wife and I and discussed options that would assist us in our case. Nathan was honest and direct and assisted us with professionalism and desired results. If you're in need, ...

Highly recommend!
Mr Sweet and his staff helped my family with a nuisance neighbor that was continuously harassing my family. When we didn’t know where else to go, or what else to do, Mr. Sweet restored our faith. Mr. Sweet was quick, effective, and most of all displayed in depth knowledge of the law. Mr. Sweet and h...

Mr. Sweet was a rock solid resource throughout my divorce and custody case
Although we tried to keep things amicable after our separation, a number of money- and custody-based issues presented themselves. Rather than talk it out, my ex-wife filed a number of reports with the civilian and marine corps authorities, in a blatant attempt at taking my son and my career from me....
Nathan Edward Sweet's Lawyer Endorsements
"I am impressed with Mr. Sweet's thoughtful advice and answers to legal questions on Avvo. He has an in-depth understanding of the law and an ability to communicate legal concepts clearly and effectively. I endorse this lawyer!"
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Awesome attorney. Highly respected in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"When Nathan was a prosecutor I found him to be both easy to work with and zealous as an advocate for the State; in private practice he pushes hard to get the best result for his clients. Perhaps more importantly, he is a principled individual and an upstanding member of the community!"
"I endorse this lawyer. I do not know Mr. Sweet personally, but I have had the opportunity to read his answers on this site. In reading through his remarks, I find his assistance to people coming here to be very helpful. There is no doubt he is knowledgeable about the law. As an attorney myself, I find myself learning from him."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Mr. Sweet is a local Onslow County attorney who has shown great strides as a civil and criminal litigation attorney. His reputation for zealous representation is well known within the local county bar association."
"Nathan is the kind of lawyer you want: persuasive, firm, respected, and responsive to his clients needs. Do not settle for someone without a good reputation to go with legal skills, you need Nathan."
"In my interactions with Mr. Sweet he has always been extremely courteous and professional. He has a reputation throughout the legal community of being very knowledgeable and hardworking. I would recommend his services to any client."
"I chose "Other" since I graduated law school with Nathan Sweet. I know Nathan Sweet to be an attorney of the utmost character and integrity, very bright, well-liked, and well-spoken. If you want honest, straightforward, and thorough representation be sure to contact Nathan Sweet."
"I met Nathan through his law partner at Silva & Sweet. We discussed family law matters at length and I could tell that he really knew what he was talking about. Nathan is also passionate about his work and furthering the goals of his clients. I highly endorse Silva & Sweet in Family Law and Criminal Defense cases. They are honest, hard working, and will get the job done."
"I've dealt with Nathan in the criminal court system with him being a DA at first, then moving to the defense side. He is a great attorney and I highly recommend Mr. Sweet."
"Mr. Sweet is a fine attorney who will be your best advocate. He is knowledgeable and understands the court process well. I recommend him to anyone who is facing criminal charges or other tough legal situations. He is a top-notch attorney."
"I first met Nathan while he was serving as an Assistant District Attorney in Onslow County. I was immediately impressed with both his knowledge of the law and the manner in which he approached his role as prosecutor. Steadfast in his convictions; you can certainly rely on Mr. Sweet to provide zealous representation."
"I selected other on how I know Mr. Sweet because none of the options appropriately describe our history. I met Mr. Sweet when he was a defense attorney and I was a Superior Court Prosecutor. Though Mr. Sweet was a newly minted attorney, it was obvious that he had a strong head on his shoulders and an adept understanding of the law. Several months later, Mr. Sweet was hired as an Assistant District Attorney and he became a co-worker with me at the Office of the District Attorney for the Fourth Prosecutorial District. Mr. Sweet immediately excelled in his new role as a District Court Prosecutor. In fact he did so well, Mr. Sweet was promoted to the position of a Superior Court Prosecutor. It was at this point that both Mr. Sweet and I had an opportunity to work on top level felony cases in the highest trial level court in North Carolina. In that position, Mr. Sweet was able to hone his trial capabilities. He is now a strong advocate with an ability to sway judges and juries."
