Outstanding Representation

I was very impressed with Nathan. I have had many represent me and I have never had one like Nathan. I am always afraid to go into court normally. Attorneys always talk to you and then you make key points that you want to be addressed in your court and case. But they never seem to speak on things tha...t you want addressed. That has been my past experience. Or they only speak to you like 5 min. before you are called in for court, so they truly have no interest in what you are or need in your life? So how can they be working for your best interest? Not Nathan. This man has a BIG HEART. He actually cares and goes above and beyond and he listens to whatever you want to talk about and may need feed back or resources for. He listens to everything you say and has been the best attorney I have ever had and the same for a couple of others I know that he has represented. He is truly doing whatever even some tricks he pulls out to get and make sure he is always doing what in your best interest for everyone in your family in the outcome. I always recommend Nathan when ask. I never had anybody be so understanding and caring about me in the court setting and in my family life outside of the legal stuff. And he worked SUPER Magic to get me from some pretty serious charges down to basically a smack on my hand. I want to Thank You Nathan for the multiple cases you represented me in and for being someone who is open minded and non judgemental to me. And for the HEART and work you put in for me. You are the best I have ever seen in the Criminal Law Side of life. Thank you Kimberly Vialpando

A most decent man

I still don't have the words to describe what Nathan has done for me. Not only is he the most decent lawyer I've ever met, but also a decent human being. Not once did I feel like I was talking to a lawyer. His human decency outweighs everything. He got me something irreplaceable and beyond sentiment...al. Because of him I still have my son's belongings who passed away 5 years ago. Id recommend him to any and everyone. Thank you Nathan for showing me there are still good people in this world.

Great lawyer

Nathan is very down to earth and knows what his stuff. I hired him to defend me at court, I was informed in a timely manner of everything that was happening in my case from the day I hired him.
