Extremely knowledgeable, helpful & kind!

Words cannot express our gratitude to Nathan. There is not enough space or stars to be given to write about how wonderful our family thinks Nahan is - we call him an angel. He helped our family through a stressful situation this summer. He is calm, knowledgeable, informative, has a great sense of... humor and always quick to respond! Nathan always knows what to say to put our mind at ease and walk us through the process. We are forever grateful to him and love his sense of humor!

Great Lawyers do great things

There were three things that about my experience with Nathan that frankly changed my opinion of lawyers in general. People don't get criminal attorneys in the best of times and Nathan was a rock in a very stormy sea filled full of potential disaster. He showed genuine concern and care during the...se tribulent times. Lawyers many times can be difficult to get a hold of after your initial consultation, but Nathan was not that. He was by my side through the entirety of my ordeal, not just the trial even attending to details that were beyond the scope of what he was hired for. Lastly, one factor I think a lot of people overlook is Nathan's relationship that he has maintained with a district attorney's office. It's relationships like these that can foster greater options than attorneys without these relationships. Nathan Hansen is the right choice for somebody in need of a criminal attorney when times have become rough. Go with an individual that does what he says.

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!

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.

Genuine man, went above and beyond to help me.

Mr. Hansen has made my experience through the corrupt justice system that owns Ft Collins, a much brighter, and less scary time. He never stopped believing that i was not just a number/statistic and was still a young woman fighting an addiction and depression. Through the help of him, I was able to n...ot only get acceptance to go to rehab, but stay out of jail as well. I would recommend him to anyone who is viewed as an underdog, criminal, or delinquent. Thank you Nathan for making me feel like there was still hope in the darkest of nights.

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.
