Excellent Counselor

Being in Legal Trouble is Horrible.I was pulled over for speeding in FOCO on a Sunday morning going to work.Next thing I know my car was being searched with the K9 and I'm being arrested for DUI/DUID!! I hired an incompetent expensive attorney that was a joke..She never returned calls,she belittled m...e.I was a complete mess,couldn't take a breath. I needed to get away from her.I cut ties with her and consulted with Nathan.First time meeting with him and discussing my case I felt like we had known each other for years.He listened,told me what he would do on my case.When I left his office.I was able to take a deep breath.I hired him.I asked a lot of questions.If he didn't know the answer he would find the answer. He never ignored or belittled me.He fought for me and kept me in the loop of the whole case.He has a big heart and a kind soul.He made me feel at ease and not be ashamed of being caught up in the judicial system.He is definitely one of the good guys.His knowledge of the law and his kind soul did not go unnoticed.

Excellent and Empathetic

I hired Nathan for a DUI case. He executed the case flawlessly, yielding a better outcome that I could have hoped for. He responded to calls and emails almost instantly and no detail of the case was too small for him to help with. I expected him to do a good job since he was highly recommended by... a trusted source. What I did not expect was his level of empathy and personal interest. He asked questions about what led up to the incident and about how we as a family were doing in the wake of it. He was an emotional support as well as a legal one. Being represented by Nathan felt like being defended by a talented friend.

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.

Highly Recommend

My experience with Nathan was excellent. He was very open to communication and kept me up to date throughout the entire process. He also was very realistic with the expectations for my verdict; he was very hands on with my case, but did not let me be too optimistic to where I would be disappointed or... confused with the outcome. I had a very positive experience with Nathan representing me in my DUID charge and would highly recommend him.

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.
