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.

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.

Legal Help

Natalie helped my son first as an appointed lawyer and then continued to help and assist in his case after she was no longer his lawyer. I can not say enough good things about her. Amazing young attorney.

Posted by Darin | January 22, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

She’s Fierce

I consulted with Natalie about my very complicated custody case which turned into several return court appearances over a course of two years. She took this case to heart and fought it like a lion on a mouse. She is not afraid to stand up against anyone and fight for what is right. Natalie went to... great lengths to argue our case with absolute integrity and grit. She is a fierce attorney who is a force to be reckoned with and who’s passion for fighting for her clients can be felt in any courtroom. So if you need a lion in this unfair, wicked world, I recommend Natalie McCown.
