This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

He was friendly and got my case dismissed

I had an overall positive experience being represented by Nathaniel. I thought that he did a great job behind the scenes working to get the prosecutor to dismiss my case. I wish he had done a little more to let me know what the status of my case was but whenever I had questions, he got back to me a...nd filled me in on the issues that I was worried about. I couldn't be happier with the result.

ZERO STARS

I would give this attorney ZERO stars, but that is impossible. I hired Mr. Baca to represent me in my criminal case. He claims his flat fee is warranted because he is to do the same about of work if the case goes to trial or if a plea is accepted. He advised me to plea. I should of seen that comi...ng. He spent about 10 mins in court with me. He must of spent 30 mins total on my case, and most of that was him notifying the court of his entry of appearance. He never contacted me about my case. I was in jail, and he never spoke with me. He did not review the discovery with me and he did not even formulate a defensive for me. He sure kept that flat fee he charged and he did nothing for me. Nothing. He has not taking a case to trail in over 6 years. . A public defender would serve you better. Save your money. He demonstrated limit knowledge of the law and even less knowledge of court room procedures.

Nathaniel kept fighting

I want to think Nathaniel for the work he did for my brother. My brother was fetching a life sentence in Arapaho. The case ended up taking a couple of years. Nathaniel kept fighting the whole time. He never give up on my brother when he needed it. Nathaniel managed to get a really good offer out of t...he DA and my brother happily took it. I am getting to see my brother again. Thank you

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

He won my case

My brother's wife accused me of stealing and breaking her stuff. My brother was going through a divorce and I was helping him move his things out. Before I knew it, the cops were at the door. They didn't listen to me and arrested me and my brother. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. I h...ired Nathaniel because my previous attorney didn't seem very interested in my case. I hired him right before the trial. He asked the judge for more time but the judge denied the request so we went to trial. I think it fired him up when the judge didn't give him more time. He was tough on my brother's ex-wife and it was clear she was lying. He had my brother testify and did a good job helping my case. We won the trial. After my case, she didn't bother showing up to my brother's case and it got dismissed. I hope she learned her lesson.

Nathaniel is a good person

I spoke with Nathaniel about a felony DV that I had in Boulder. This isn't my first case and I have experience dealing with criminal defense attorneys. What impressed me about Nathaniel is he didn't give me the usual sales pitch. Instead, he listened to me and then explained the strengths and weak...nesses of my case. After we talked about the case, he did something that no attorney has ever done for me, he told me who I needed to hire to give me the best shot. He helped me instead of trying to sell himself. And he was right. The attorney that he sent me to got my case dismissed on the issue that Nathaniel told me about. I am really thankful for his honesty. No other attorney would have done what he did.
