Very honest lawyer

Attorney Nate Gjesdal is one of the most trustworthy and professional criminal defense lawyers you’ll find in Orange County. He takes the time to truly listen, explain your options, and make a difficult legal situation feel manageable.

Compassionate and communicate attorney

Attorney Nate Gjesdal is reliable and communicative. He clearly explained the process and what to expect. It's a very scary feeling to face a charge, but I felt very assured and at ease with Nate representing me.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
