AHMED O.

Michael is no doubt an exceptionally brilliant and highly skilled lawyer that I have came across. The way he leads the case in the court is truly impressive. His strategy on each aspect of the case is crystal clear and his execution plan focuses on meeting all the client needs. He doesn’t leave any m...inute details and bring up solid arguments throughout the trial to prove his point. I do like his strategy of bringing up out of the box ideas and thinking beyond the case to find out more information which we never thought of before. He has been very much involved with us and set the right focus for us that helped us to do better prepare for the case. I don’t have any doubt that if we did not have Michael’s support we would have been very unlucky. He opened totally new dimensions for us in a marriage annulment case that he fought for us. He led the case very strongly from the beginning in an efficient, strategic and calculated manner. Not only he worked out several options with us to proceed but also guided us how the case can be settled out of the court. His command in the court and approach towards opposite counsel was phenomenal. He not only understands the dynamics of the case but also the psychology of opposite party and acts accordingly. He is well aware of all the emotional aspects and its outcomes in the trial while at the same time he knows how to tackle and elaborate what is normally overlooked. We are still waiting for the final decision in our case, but we are very happy that we made a sound decision to hire him. The efforts he put in our case and his passion to win is what impressed us the most. He never sits idle for few minutes and doesn’t take things lightly and fight as hard as possible till the end. We have learned a lot while working with him especially what to look for if you are planning to hire the best lawyer for your case. Michael is a very nice individual too and an easy to work with person who is always approachable and ready to help you out. I would definitely hire him again if needed and he will be my only recommendation to someone looking for a lawyer to represent his/her in civil court.

Excellent Lawyer - Wow!

Mr. Nathans took my family law case and did an amazing job getting me great results. It was an ugly court battle but I won thanks to Mr. Nathans working so hard. I would go back to him again in a heartbeat.

Divorce

Mr Nathans is an amazing attorney. Yes his fees are pricey but its worth it. He works truley hard and is well prepared when attending court. You pay good money and you get quality results. It tooks almost two years to finalize my divorce not because of Mr Nathans but because of my husband who failed ...to cooperate ans ended up loosing everything he asked for. He could have won something when we had our mediation but he persisted to ask for more. Mr Nathans is very aggressive and straight forward and i love that about him. Mr Nathans is very knowledgeable and brought up laws i had to look up becuase i didnt know of them. He knows his work and does an exemplary job at it. i would highly recommend Mr Nathans. Thank you Mr Nathans. The Crawford Case from 2015

Fantastic Family Law Attorney

I consulted with several family law attorneys and Mr. Nathans turned out to be the best. I was grateful I found him. He really helped me and my kids with the divorce. Mr. Nathans really knows his stuff and is very aggressive, which is what I needed for my case.
