Construction law

Nate is a dedicated and thorough advocate, one who I cannot recommend more highly.

Outstanding experience

Nate was invaluable to updating my company's policies on collections, lien placement and demand letter design and provided enforceable terms and conditions for our invoices and estimates. The unfortunate necessity of business nowadays is to protect yourself from unscrupulous clients and Nate provided... us with a firm foundation from which we can build on to ensure our work is being performed with appropriate protections in place.

Results!

Nate is a very quick study and can easily see the forest for the trees. He’s also excellent at relationship building, regardless of which side of the table the other person is on. I guess I would sum it up by saying Nate doesn’t “practice law.” Instead, he practices results!
