Best new lawyer in The Shoals Area

I do know a number of good attorneys in this area, and several who I consider friends. We are fortunate to have a goodly number of lawyers here who are known to be both capable and honest. However, after my recent experience with Natalie in a case close to me, I have to say that I cannot imagine any...one who would work harder for her client. She became totally invested in this case and went way above and beyond. Even though there were some setbacks due to some disrespect which was very evident in the first court on the part of the judge and employees in the Florence Municipal Court, she remained steadfast to the cause and never wavered in her belief that justice was attainable. I still cannot believe how devoted she was to this case, and how hard she fought on behalf of her client whom she believed in. I told her she was like a pit bull in the courtroom, although she said she preferred the description of tiger. I say she is part both, and has the legal acumen coupled with a fierce determination towards fairness. I consider myself fortunate to have been involved with this case and to now be able to consider her a friend. Sometimes you need a friend like Natalie.

Highly recommended

I highly recommend Natalie she is so sweet and she really worked hard on my husbands case. I have dealt with so many attorneys over the years and having one that I could reach out to any time and felt very comfortable asking questions made a world of difference. My husbands case was a case that I rea...lly needed to worry about but I never did I trusted from the start that Natalie would take care of it just like she said she would. The most important part was she communicated with us really well. I feel that was the best part of using her. She reached out to me from Facebook to phone calls and that made my mind at ease. I was very satisfied and would highly recommend her to anyone. My husband was appointed her in court and I have spent a lot of money in the past to some of the most expensive attorneys in town and have been over all happier with how Natalie handled the case more then anyone I have ever spent several thousand dollars on. I will definitely use her again if I need a attorney and hands down I will be 100 percent comfortable she will ease my mind or anyone’s that she will handle it as she says.
