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.

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.

Professional, honest and straight-forward.

A good friend recommended Nathan Sheldon to me after I had met with several other lawyers. I was going through a divorce and the other lawyers I met did not seem focused or interested when I was giving them details of my situation and how I wanted to proceed. Upon first meeting Mr. Sheldon, I was p...ut at ease by his demeanor and felt like his entire attention was on getting the facts together and listening to my situation. Once I finished he suggested several approaches and presented them in a way I could comprehend. He also answered many of my questions and made sure I was satisfied with his approach. Once we put together a comprehensive plan, he helped me complete the docments, filed our papers and kept me in the loop throughout the process. His fees were also very reasonable but most importantly, he did everything he could to find a successful solution. I would highly recommend Mr. Sheldon for any of your legal needs.
