I would definitely hire Natalie again if I needed another lawyer.

I wouldn’t want anyone else as my lawyer. She was very great with communication and always made sure I was updated on my situation. Not only was she great with communicating but she also got my charges dropped as well.

Posted by Alyson | September 04, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

She truly went above and beyond!!

She was given my fiance's case and even being court appointed, she went the extra mile to help us!! The second we met her she was ready to fight with us to have his charges dropped. She maintained contact through out the long process and many court dates and kept us up to date about every thing from ...start to finish. No matter if it was once a week or three times a day, she always answered every one of my MANY calls and emails regarding our questions/worries and always made us feel like a priority. Not only was she professional in every way, she was caring and understanding. She always comforted us and gave us reassurance and peace throughout the stressful process. And even kept us laughing at times when things got tough. We had hoped for it all to be dropped because he was innocent but honestly didn't think it was possible because it had gone so far and was such a mess. But in the end, the state ended up dropping the case and all charges!! And its all thanks to Natalie. She believed in us when no one else did and fought for us. Because of that, not only were his charges dropped; we got to have our life back! And keep our family together! To us, that means the world and none of it would have been possible had it not been for the amazing lawyer and person she is! We will forever be thankful!! We will definitely hire her if ever needed in the future!

Definatley 100% who you want to fight for you

I've had several lawyers in the past, and Natalie definitely has impressed me the most and kept me the most informed. Her proffessionalism, drive, and commitment to me and our case really made me trust her and I knew with out of a shadow of a doubt she was working her absolute hardest on my behalf.... That is the most you can expect and hope for in a stressful situation. Natalie went above and beyond my expectations, she knows the law and presents it with authority and she has a fire in the courtroom, she's sharp and we won our case. I absolutely recommend her to everyone. Unless you just want a crackerjack lawyer and don't care to win, I guarantee if anyone can win your case it is Natalie. If your reading this review looking for a lawyer, look no further she is who you want.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
