Excellent!!

Nathan is a gem! He is easy going, very honest and blunt and doesn't leave out any of the important details. He helped me get the best outcome I could in the situation I was in and I'm very grateful for his expertise! He was prompt to answer any and all questions I had, he was very accurate in the... information provided and he never made me feel like I was a horrible person even though I made a mistake. I really appreciate that I felt I could relate to him and that he didn't sugar coat anything. I would definitely recommend him for any of the areas he specializes in as I know you will be fairly treated, professionally represented and have all of your questions answered! He really knows what he is doing, thank you Nathan!

BEST Criminal lawyer on the planet!!!

I hired Nathan Hansen for a sticky situation that one of my children had gotten into, and from the beginning, was doubtful that anyone could fix it! Then I found Mr. Hansen through a friend....and he was the best man for the job! His tenacity and compassion got us all through a very difficult time.... He kept us updated, and was ALWAYS available when we had questions or concerns. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Hansen..if I could give him more than the 5 star rating....I would!

Prompt, excellent communications, and honest counselor

I was referred to Mr. Nathan Hansen from a colleague of his who was not able to help me at the time. Mr. Hansen was prompt, thorough, and expeditious with his care and communications. He is a skillful and knowledgeable counselor that was able to navigate my needs in Larimer county. I would not hesita...te to recommend or refer his services to anyone seeking his professional services.

Amazing help

Nathan was incredibly available and helpful as well as incredibly attentive and knowledgeable. His hard work resulted in dropped charges for me. He saw the big picture, but still cared about me as an individual. Every question was met with a timely response. I was treated with dignity and respec...t when I needed it most. He defended my reputation.

Nathan Hansen and Andrew Bertrand

If you ever need legal council, call Nathan Hansen. I picked up a DUI in Denver County. This was not my first offense and I knew I was i some serious trouble. I met with a few different lawyers, but I literally knew half way through the consultation with Nathan, that I had found my lawyer. I was a n...ervous wreck but knowing that I had him in my corner made this whole ordeal bearable. He went the extra mile at every opportunity, and my particular situation gave him plenty. If I ever had a question or concern he was adamant in returning my calls that same day. He got my jail time transferred out of Denver and up to Fort Collins so I could be near my loved ones which was a huge relief, and trust me, Denver County made none of this easy. He fought for me, and for that I am eternally grateful.

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.
