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.

A skilled lawyer that can be trusted

I found Nathan here on this very website! The other user reviews were all very positive so I contacted him based on that information. From the very start of my custody battle, Nathan and his paralegal Lori, showed confidence, professionalism and most importantly, compassion for my situation. I hear a... lot of horror stories about these situations, lawyers who don't communicate, who overcharge for services they seem only half interested in....I tell you all from my firsthand experience, this is NOT the case with Nathan. I will never be able to thank him enough or praise his service enough. Because of his skill and understanding of the legal processes I get to have custody of my child, I feel another lawyer would of been found wanting in this reguard. Thank you Nathan, thank you Lori.....and thank you to the Shaw law firm for providing excellent legal advice and services without costing me and arm and a leg.

Best in Class

Nathan handled my legal issue two years ago. He was honest and hardworking. I have recently sought his services again to assist my son. Nathan will always be my first choice for legal matters as he truly is the best in his field.
