I began my career as a prosecutor in Chesterfield County, South Carolina. I have been practicing criminal law and family law in Rock Hill, South Carolina since 2008. My criminal cases focus on everything from DUI all the way to murder charges. In Family Court I focus primarily on divorce and custody litigation, but also do a large amount of DSS work defending parents accused of abusing or neglecting their children.
I attended undergraduate school at the College of Charleston and obtained a BA in History and a BA in Philosophy (2003). I earned my Juris Doctorate from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 2006.
I am a member of the South Carolina Bar Association, York County Bar Association and the South Carolina Assiciation of Criminal Defense Lawyers. I also coach the Fort Mill Middle School and Nation Ford High School Mock Trial Teams.
When I am not in a courtroom I enjoy spending time with my wife, boating on the lake and golfing.

Not only promised results he damaged the case by dragging it out for two years. I would never in 1 million years recommend him to anyone. He seems to pick and choose which cases he wants to work hard on. Add excuses galore for not doing his work.

After a false allegation was made against my family, we hired Nathan to stand up for us and take on an incompetent state agency. Nathan surgically and methodically exposed their weak case, incompetence, and bias leading to a swift and decisive dismissal in our favor. If you are facing a government ag...

This man does not care about children. He ripped a child away from a loving mother based on unsubstantiated lies that were proven false in court. If you want someone who worships Satan, this is him.

I would not recommend this lawyer to anyone. All the glowing reviews seem contrived. This man was rude, spoke down to my family, sloppy looking and totally unprofessional abd sloppy looking. His no nonsense appriach can be construed as brash. Not to be redundant but U can't stress this enough. In a...

I hired Nathan to be my divorce attorney. I found him to be very knowledgeable in the law but still could easily explain it to me as a layman. Nathan worked on my case for over a year. During that time I found he was usually very easy to get a hold of and would respond within a few hours of my r...
