Thank You

I appreciate you walking me through the unexpected process of separation. It wasn't by choice but I am glad you were there to help. You covered all the questions I had very throughly and it was much appreciated again. I look forward to meeting again to finalize my divorce.

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.

Great Legal Team - Nathan Sheldon & Lori!!!

Nathan and Lori handled a divorce for me and all in all I feel like they did the best job that could be done. He was able to avoid mediation and offered many options in paying alimony, child support, etc. They treated me with respect and not just as another client. I travel much for my job and he ...was flexible in communicating with me via email, texting, etc. I appreciate his and Lori's work! I highly recommend him!

Absolutely 100% Recommended

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Nathan Sheldon. I truly believe that I am lucky to have found him and would recommend him to anyone without the slightest hesitation. My partner and I first hired Nathan in 2011 to assist us with an adoption. After much searching online, I s...ent out a round of inquiries via email to some legal firms that handled adoption. Several of these offices called or emailed and offered an appointment. Nathan, however, called me personally. Not only did he take the time to call, but he spent nearly an hour on the phone with me. He asked for details about my situation and then explained how the adoption process typically worked. My partner and I ended up meeting and retaining Nathan for our adoption shortly after. Throughout our entire experience, Nathan and the staff in his office treated us with complete respect. We were kept well informed throughout each step and Nathan was always responsive and followed up when needed. The process of adopting my daughter was a long one, but 6 months after she was born Nathan met us for court and I walked out as a parent, legally. Nathan answered our questions throughout this entire process and made something that could have been very stressful a very smooth and relatively painless process. Nathan was also completely upfront about his fees. They were completely reasonable and there were no surprises - what we were quoted originally is exactly what we were charged. I would happily recommend Nathan to anyone seeking legal services and know that my family will be working with him again in the future.

Outstanding, thorough and organized

Mr. Sheldon handled the adoption of my now 7 year old daughter last year. He was extremely professional, thorough and knowledgeable about all that needed to be taken care of concerning our adoption proceedings. I would highly recommend Mr. Sheldon, without hesitation, for any of your legal needs. He ...has a true passion for what he does and handles himself with the utmost professionalism.
