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.

one of the best people I kniw

I met Nathan at a weird place in my life .without going into a bunch of personal details I had so many things going on and I remember not knowing which way was up or which way was down ,and threw every step of my court case and including issues two years down the roads well after my court case Nathan... was there with zero hesitation. He not only helped me threw my legal troubles ,he was a very strong mental standing threw the whole thing . He never made me feel less then , he never spoke down on me , he listened to EVERY CONCERN I had . 2 years down the road and I have constant reinforcing phrases that he told me play in my head to remind me im doing great things . He one asked me how do you eat an elephant ? I was so confused when he asked me . His response was one bite at a time . I will never forget that . You can't put a rating on a person who gave you much more then just a legal defense . He gave me a hope when I felt so so in the dark . He's truley amazing!!! 1000 stars for me !

Exceptional experience

Of the many people I contacted for my case, Nathan responded quickly and personally, well outside of normal business hours. He immediately put me at ease by being personable and knowledgeable. He was very up front and even encouraged me to seek other counsel to make sure that he was the best fit. Aft...er following his advice, I chose him as the obvious best option compared to his unreachable, disinterested, and slow-to-respond competitors. From that point on he continued to be communicative, proactive, and honest. He thoroughly walked me through all the possible outcomes without giving me any false expectations, patiently explained the complicated process of the law, and worked diligently behind the scenes to pursue my case. I cannot speak highly enough of his professionalism balanced with genuine kindness and concern. If you’re looking for someone with the skills, tenacity, and knowledge to provide you with the best possible representation, as well as the warmth and humor to ease your mind during one of the worst experiences you might face in your life, I could not recommend anyone more emphatically than Mr. Hansen.

Best Lawyer in Colorado!

My case was messed up badly by an attorney in Denver. From the very first phone call with Nathan I knew I had someone who was going to represent me well with his vast knowledge and experience. Since taking my case, Nathan has gone above and beyond and made me feel like family for sure! That is rare t...his day and age. Nathan got me an outstanding outcome and continued to assist once my case was completed. True old school professionalism! Thank you sir!

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.
