The BEST lawyer and firm

Natalie Bower is and was a breath of fresh air for my case. I had three other attorneys before Natalie but she didn’t judge me she didn’t fill my head on what I wanted to hear she told me the LAW !! My case was not easy but she made it that way . Genuinely a good person and a better attorney wish I... would have had her in the beginning!! If want a good attorney for your family case DIVORCE don’t hesitate she will get there no games or false promises just the law! Love the the firm Cofffe Ward and Bower you can’t go wrong!

Awesome! HIGHLY Recommended firm and attorney!

Natalie was my attorney for a recent divorce. Not once throughout the entire process (as unfortunate as it is) did I ever feel as if Natalie had nothing but my best interest in mind. Even better, when we needed to meet or address matters head on, I felt as if Natalie (and the whole firm for that ma...tter) had nothing else on their plates. There was never any waiting or other priorities. My ex and I were able to discuss and work through some things on our own (sometimes against Natalie's recommendations and better judgement, LOL) but because of Natalie and the information she armed me with, I was able to do that. I can't even make a list of the things I would have not known about or overlooked without her on my team. HIGHLY recommended. I don't care how amicable you may think things are, DO NOT go through a divorce without representation! If ever the need arises to readdress matters with my ex, I don't need to shop for an attorney; Natalie is on my speed dial. I hope this review didn't come across too cheesy or paid advertisement like, LOL, but she really was a solid foundation for getting through a one sided divorce (I was the dumpee, not the dumper). A great balance of empathy/understanding of real emotions and no kidding "here's what we need to do"!
