Great lawyer and friend.

Nathan has helped me through many of my mischief. He has never once judged me for what happened, he was there only to help. He’s got a heart of gold and it shows through his performance in the court. Not only is he a business man but he’s one of my dear friends who always keeps my spirits high. Canno...t thank him enough for his vigorous and generous work.

Can't say enough

From the very beginning Nathan was always honest about my case and where it was going. He told me initially to at least talk to 3 lawyers: one is going to give you worst case, one is going to tell you they can clear you of all charges, and one is going to tell you the truth- and that is what Nathan w...as for me. He guided me through the process the entire time and always gave great advice. Even through the stressful moments for me, he kept me calm and promised he would be there for me every step of the way. I would HIGHLY recommend Nathan to anyone that needs a lawyer. Very responsive to emails, even on the weekends when I was freaking out. Overall, an amazing guy. 5 stars!

Great experience

From our first conversation Nathan made me feel heard and understood. I am immensely thankfully I found Nathan, he walked me through every step of the process, he let me know possible outcomes, and expected outcomes. Even after his services were paid in full he continued to assist me. Nathan was alwa...ys available to answer questions from me and my partner. He helped me seamlessly navigate an incredibly daunting and unfamiliar situation.

Excellent Attorney

Nathan goes above and beyond the call of duty for you. He always returns calls/emails, and his calm demeanor helps keep you calm. I HIGHLY recommend him. Believe me, you won't be disappointed.

The Best

I'm keeping this short. Nathan Hansen is the best attorney here whose services your, or someone else's, money can buy. He made the nationwide list of Top 40 Attorneys Under 40. I remember Nathan from when he used to work at Andrew Bertrand's office and represented me. Nathan truly cares about peo...ple and it shows in his work. Do not look elsewhere!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
