Poor Communication or Lack Thereof

Nathan represented me last year. He would come see me before court and say one thing, seemed to do a 180 once we went before the judge. He seemed intimidated once we made it to court. After the final hearing, he never once came to see me to explain anything. Ended up having to do a three-way call... with my wife just to get some answers, which obviously waived any sort of attorney-client privilege. He seemed distracted and like he didn't follow through with things. I saw guys I was locked up with with court appointed attorneys making more effort than this guy did. After multiple calls to him to try to get things done, I ended up doing them myself and had a 200% better outcome than when I had this guy fighting my battles.

Results

I didn’t have much hope on my case, it was quite frustrating. Met Nathan through mutual friends and he turned everything around. He makes results happen. He was very professional and quick as well when my other lawyer(who shall not be named) took forever and produced no results. I wished I hired Nath...an sooner. Highly recommend.

A true trial lawyer!

I hired Mr Mays to help me fight cases in one of the worst counties in the state of Texas. Williamson County. I was facing 15 years. I have a pretty extensive record which made matters worse. Nathan went above and beyond my expectations. With a DA that was hell-bent on putting me in prison Nathan sho...wed up and Against All Odds got me probation. He's the reason I'm sitting here writing this review to today. I owe him my freedom... His helped change my life for the better. If the odds are stacked against you right now and you're reading this review look no further Nathan Mays is the man for you. He's honest, hard working and knows his way around the court room. Most of all he's a lawyer that actually cares about his client.
