Excellent Divorce Lawyer

Nathan and Karen did an excellent job with my divorce case. They have the knowledge and experience to provide sound, strategic advice and help navigate the process in a no-nonsense and efficient manner. My situation had some financial complexities, and Nathan was able to quickly get up to speed. They... have great personalities and are good listeners, making it easy to share and believing I had been heard. Nathan and Karen were great to work with in a difficult situation.

Excellent Lawyer

Nathan Dowell is a true professional when it comes to helping you through the divorce procedure. He is the most competent lawyer you could ask for if you need legal assistance. He is incredibly knowledgeable and well-versed in his field. Working with both Nathan and his paralegal Morgan will not let ...you down because they are both very communicative and efficient. I'm very happy that I made the proper decision in selecting the right person to help me through my dealings.

Excellent and Caring Lawyer

Nathan assisted me with a very difficult, high-conflict custody case. Nathan is patient, professional, frank, honest, and caring, especially under pressure. There were many times my ex and his lawyer would not communicate or provide the courts with requested documentations. Nathan remained calm and p...rofessional throughout, working with me and the court to obtain the required documents to help move my case forward. Nathan helped me create a schedule that was 100% in my child's best interest. And for that I am beyond grateful. He is an amazing, caring lawyer who listens, guides you, and helps to get to the heart of the matter. What is in your child's best interest. He doesn't get entangled in dirty, cruel games, and will stay honest with you through-out your case. This was one of the hardest struggles I have every gone through in my life, and I am grateful that Nathan was there to help assist and support me through my child custody. I highly recommend Nathan. Please take the time to speak with him and see if he is right for you.

Best Lawyer I Could've Had For My Parenting Case

I hired Nathan Dowell at Hinds and Hinds Family Law, P.C. and had an incredibly positive experience, even given the unfortunate circumstances that brought me there. Nathan's depth and breadth of experience made the process of my civil case smoother and easier to cope with. He maintained professionali...sm and tact in response to opposing counsel's ridiculousness and frustrating communication. After a lengthy case, we were able to come to a reasonable resolution, that he worked tirelessly to achieve. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal services for a civil proceeding.
