About Nathan
Biography
Nathan Olson's primary practice consists of criminal, appellate, and post-conviction cases. He believes in the presumption of innocence and works hard toward obtaining just results for his clients. When he takes on a case, he does so analytically, breaking down all the pieces to spot where the allegations are weak and identify where the defense is strong. Attorney Olson has a passion for standing up for good people who may have been victims of false allegations or found themselves at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Attorney Nathan A. Olson received his Juris Doctorate from New York Law school.

Property Purchase
Nate represented me in negotiating a property purchase. I was unable to do the negotiating myself, but gave Nate the background on the property and my target price.

Nathan Allen Olson's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have collaborated with Nate on a number of cases, most recently on appeal work. His arguments are excellent and always take into consideration not only the law, but he understands what each client is going through and writes that into the brief. He is especially adamant when people have been treated unfairly. For other attorneys, he always contributes more than his half. For clients, he gives more in work quality and effort than he takes in fees. I have seen him take down arguments from top lawyers all around the country. This guy is an A+ Iowa lawyer who loves his work and wants justice to be accessible - I would hire him personally to represent me and that's the biggest compliment I can give."
"Nate is a skillful and conscientious attorney. I have been very impressed with the litigation support he has provided me."
"Nate's ability to spot issues and articulate his analysis makes him a superior advocate for his clients."
