Outstanding Representation

I was very impressed with Nathan. I have had many represent me and I have never had one like Nathan. I am always afraid to go into court normally. Attorneys always talk to you and then you make key points that you want to be addressed in your court and case. But they never seem to speak on things tha...t you want addressed. That has been my past experience. Or they only speak to you like 5 min. before you are called in for court, so they truly have no interest in what you are or need in your life? So how can they be working for your best interest? Not Nathan. This man has a BIG HEART. He actually cares and goes above and beyond and he listens to whatever you want to talk about and may need feed back or resources for. He listens to everything you say and has been the best attorney I have ever had and the same for a couple of others I know that he has represented. He is truly doing whatever even some tricks he pulls out to get and make sure he is always doing what in your best interest for everyone in your family in the outcome. I always recommend Nathan when ask. I never had anybody be so understanding and caring about me in the court setting and in my family life outside of the legal stuff. And he worked SUPER Magic to get me from some pretty serious charges down to basically a smack on my hand. I want to Thank You Nathan for the multiple cases you represented me in and for being someone who is open minded and non judgemental to me. And for the HEART and work you put in for me. You are the best I have ever seen in the Criminal Law Side of life. Thank you Kimberly Vialpando

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.

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.

100% Authentic - compassionate - knowledgable

I met Nathan at a very stressful and scary time in my life. Nathan's calm, and supportive demeanor was able to quiet a lot of my fears. Nathan's knowledge about my case, and about the best possible and worst possible outcomes for my case helped me to make an informed decisions. Nathan kept the lines... of communication completely open with me and I was never left waiting for an answer. I could tell that Nathan is passionate about the work he does and he truly cares about his clients and will fight tooth and nail for them. Nathan empowered me to take my life back. I would recommend him to anyone who may end up needing his services in Colorado. My life has been forever changed since meeting him and I am so thankful for the outcome of my case which wouldn't of happened without Nathan working in my corner.

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.
