Wife of the client

We are in a different state but our case was in California. My husband was having a hard time trying to find the right person to represent him in this child custody/support order. The other party had 3x the money my husband makes and my husband is a war veteran with a disability. Michael not only too...k the very tough case, but he was thorough and although we were frustrated and irritated he remained tactful and won every case that was brought to court. His delivery was harsh to us sometimes but it was needed to keep us focused and very well appreciated in the end. He never lied, always trustworthy and always got the job done no matter what. If we ever hit the lottery we will surely look for him to bless us again. He got my husband CS lowered where we could afford it, he was reunited with his child after not being able to see her for over 10+ years, and granted his parental rights, and he even got our lawyer fees back and back pay on a payment plan. He never gave up on my husband and it was a very hard thing to do dealing with the other party made it a very difficult battle. Michael loves his clients and he will work hard for you!!!!

The Archangel

My custody case was a mess before Michael came in. He helped turn everything around in my favor. He fought aggressively and righteously for my rights, protection, and justice. No matter how much the opposing party tried to lie, cheat, steal and destroy, Michael won EVERY battle…he’s an incredible STR...ONG litigator (the best!) in court but also promotes mediation! Bottom line…if it weren’t for Michael I would’ve continued to be bullied by the other side, overpaying in child support, and no custodial rights. I would not be where I am today in my life it weren’t for Michael. Forever grateful for his strength, knowledge, SUCCESS!

"Simply The Best"

I have always believed in giving credit where it is due. I must say that hands down, Michael Nathans is certainly a top notch Family Law Attorney. He is very passionate, professional, experienced and extremely skilled at what he does. His counsel and expertise have proven to be so very valuable. Any...one who has found themselves facing divorce knows that it is one of the most difficult, devastating, confusing times of your life. Having an attorney that I can talk to, one of such high caliber helping me to navigate through these rough waters has allowed me to breathe and sleep a little easier. My case has been a very difficult one and Attorney Michael Nathans has been with me every step of the way. I am very grateful for all of the hard work that he and his amazing staff have done and for all of the victories we've had. If you are looking for the very best , Attorney Michael Nathans is it......The Very Best !!!

Great Outcome In My Case

I was so lucky to have been referred to Michael Nathans from a friend of mine that highly recommended him after he used him for his divorce. I needed to go to court and get custody and support orders. Michael Nathans was extremely knowledgeable and helpful every step of the way. He handled my ca...se from start to finish which I appreciated. I prevailed in court. The judge loved him.

The Best

After just having gone through a child custody battle in Los Angeles Family Court I can say that I would never have had such a good result without attorney Michael Nathans. I do not usually write reviews but this attorney was amazing. He helped my family a lot. I interviewed several other attorney...s and am so thankful I choose him. He is a pit bull in court but outside of court he was extremely helpful and understanding and got results quickly.
