Family advice session

FIVE STARS! (The app isn't allowing me to select the fifth star for some reason.) I am representing myself Pro Se but had a few questions about how to proceed. Nathan was courteous and knowledgeable and answered every question I had. He also mentioned a few viewpoints that I hadn't considered.... This was money very well spent. Thank you, Nathan!

Criminal Defense advice session

Awesome! Huge relief. The attorney was very knowledgeable and answered the many questions I had about my situation and gave me a clear idea of where I stood and my options going forward! Would recommend this process to anyone with legal questions.

Out of State Client

I researched the web for a lawyer in a matter that was critical and timely. I took a chance and simply guessed that Nathan would be appropriate for my case. He performed very well and was successful in helping me and coincidentally I needed him for another case which he performed in the same stable m...anner and we were successful once again. From afar I lucked out in finding Nathan.

There When Needed

I was in jail in dire straits with no hope in sight. Nathan Horsley got me out of jail and provided the best help I could have imagined. If you need a lawyer, I recommend him without reservation or qualification.

  • 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.
