Nathan T. Natori

I was looking for assistance in drawing up a residential sales contract for a home I'd rented for years from a mainland owner. Because of the long-term relationship, we agreed on a FSBO, with me working the details. My initial correspondence with Nathan showed him to be very responsive and informat...ive. Our time together drawing up the contract was very enlightening and just what I needed to put the purchase on solid footing. I felt his fee was quite fair and I will certainly look to him for any future counsel.

I retained Nathan to set up my LLC, which was the first smart move in my business. He provided a clear and patient explanation of the options. After that, the whole process was left in his hands, which went without a hitch. But the service didn't stop there. Nathan made himself available to a...nswer questions, provide counsel, and just listen to concerns. He is approachable, dependable, knowledgeable -- someone you want on your team from the start. For these reasons, it is easy to see how he has built a great reputation locally. Aloha.

Mr. Natori set clear expectations from the moment of my initial contact via phone. He asked incisive questions to determine whether he was the appropriate attorney for my concerns; described the process to engage his services; and once engaged and in receipt of my documents, set our first appointment... within a week. I felt reassured by his direct yet kind and patient manner. His written directions to his office downtown further reassured me that here was someone who was detailed yet easy to understand; someone who considered different perspectives, different viewpoints (the instructions included coming from different directions). During the appointment, he patiently went through my documents discussing the points he had highlighted and notated, offering his insights and recommended language. It was a comprehensive, exhaustive dissection ("review" is too weak a word) that was educational and eye-opening. I left empowered to go forward with my negotiations.

Nathan was very responsive with our questions, explained points of law and provided solid strategies and advice. Time was of the essence to resolve our real estate conflict. Nathan took charge and gathered all the required documents and obtained pertinent information from all parties involved to craf...ted a well planned and strong response to buyer. Nathan's firm handshake and unassuming way made us feel comfortable and confident in his abilities. As he laid out the entire strategy point by point we knew we made the right choice. He always kept us abreast of the progress he was making and of any new discoveries. If ever another real estate issue surfaces I will definitely hire Nathan again and if any of my friends encounter real property conflicts I would highly recommend Nathan to them.

I was in need of mortgage and promissory note documents to set-up a private mortgage to refinance my house. I initially spoke with Nathan on the phone, and he was very helpful in answering all of my questions. He advised me on how to proceed and educated me on a few precautions that I was unaware o...f. He promptly responded to my e-mails, and kept me informed during communications with escrow services. Nathan is easy to talk to and knowledgeable. I would definitely seek his counsel again if I were in need of any legal services involving real estate in the future.
