Worst than worthless

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.

Aggressive litigator

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...ency and need help, hire Nathan.

"defending parents accused of abusing or neglecting their children"

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.

Recommendation review

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...ddition is fee was astronomical for an obviously simple case. He could not wait to usher me out of his office with the attitude that I was supposed to be impressed with his large irrepressible ego. I highly recommend that you find a respectful induvidual because every person deserves this at the very least.

Great Job!

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...equests. Nathan also was very good at managing his time on my divorce and stayed within my original retainer amount. Overall I would strongly recommend Nathan.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
