Don't bother. Find another.

Didn't have the ability to listen, coax or understand. I was already confused on issue and how to advance my problem, but because of the complexity, or even simplicity of the issue, a person needs to be heard without being cut off or being demeaned. Behaving condescending doesn't help either. Ama...zing how we forget where we came from. Much needed lessons in humility are needed here. If he was too busy, then a polite answer would suffice. If he was interested then a lawyer would politely listen and help a potential customer by asking the right questions instead of assuming a layman should know exactly what they're facing in the legal realm. I surely didn't. Any help would be much appreciated. Isn't that what attorneys do? Help? Don't bother. Find another.

Best in the business!

There nothing worse than the feeling of being lost or helpless when it comes to something you didn't do. I stayed up all night in worry and disgust, it was like I was in a dream and it couldn't be real. I was recommended to Nathan Hansen who sat down with me and listened to the details of the case. ...Nathan is so incredibly knowledgeable about the entire legal system that he was able to cut right to the chase instantly knowing what needed to be done. During the entire process Nate kept me calm and held my hand step by step. The case never went to trial and the DA dropped the chargers completely due to Nathan Hansen's complete understanding of the process start to finish. I have never met Nate prior to this but would not only recommend him to anyone but now I consider him as a friend!

Good Guy Who Goes Above & Beyond

Nathan is a class-act guy and I would highly recommend him. He was able to move quickly to help me file for bankruptcy and get a lien lifted. He is easy to communicate with and explained everything clearly. Nathan offers a great value for price and I would not hesitate to use him again.

Great Person, Great Attorney

Nathan represented me in several different court situations from criminal defense to a divorce / small claims type case several years ago. And even today, years later , remembers everything and doesn't hesitate to help! Nathan has a vast understanding of the law and how it works. I emailed my problem... to Nathan, and within minutes, he actually made a phone call and fixed my problem. I had been making calls and researching my problem with the wording on a legal document I received that effected the rest of my life. Nobody would call me back or seemed know what it meant. Nathan knew right away, didn't need to search through books and "look into it". Nathan's integrity is incomparable. He understands the emotional toll legal problems affect people. Nathan isn't just a great attorney, he is a great human being.
