This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Natalie Hedman is an advocate for those in need.

Natalie believes transparency is important while she negotiates on your behalf, as without it, you would not be aware nor feel you are participating in your own solutions. In my own case, I was enlightened to say the least. I was proud of Natalie and myself for being on the right side of moral behav...ior and ethical practices. I learned some pretty important lessons I will take with me into my future from Natalie’s guidance in how to stand up for myself and speak clearly for what is fair and honorable. The most important lessons I learned from her are not to give up, stay the course, be reasonable. And, most importantly, be decent. Despite at times when I was impatient and lacked understanding of complicated legal processes, Natalie and her staff treated me with kindness and professionalism. I have a clear conscious that my divorce was fair and protected what was most important to me. Natalie helped me to get there by negotiating those terms brilliantly, so much so that she closed beyond what I expected to receive with a decisive final move. Without hesitation, I fully recommend putting your confidence in Natalie Hedman’s capable hands, heart and impressive legal mind.

Very supportive

Natalie was very supportive and encouraging. She seemed genuinely interested in me personally and well-informed on legal matters. She was quick to respond thoroughly to questions. I have already recommended her to three people.

Best Lawyer Ever

If you are looking for a genuine person who uses compassion with her clients, then rest assured when you contact Natalie. She was so calming and navigated me through the most difficult time of my life. She advised me every step of the way along with listening and offering support. I highly recommend ...Natalie for her knowledge, dedication, and perseverance. She gets things done quickly and is always available when you need her. You need a lawyer you can trust who carries your best interest at all times, she is the most honest and best in this business.

Worth It

Before going to Mrs. Hedman, I saw another lawyer and was told I would need to undergo an uncertain legal battle in court and it wasn't clear if I'd win. This was not something I wanted to do. So, I got a second opinion.. I went to Mrs. Hedman. Before I had even finished explaining the details of my ...case, Mrs. Hedman almost off-handedly came up with a much simpler and safer solution, one that didn't involve a protracted legal battle. What a relief. She's smart.

Not impressed with her as a lawyer

During the first meeting with Natalie she said great things and got my hopes up also related to me as a single mom. I was confident that the divorce would go smoothly with Natalie as my lawyer. In the end Natalie encouraged me to sign the decree which I did eight months ago. I regret hiring Natali...e as it was clearly about the money as she suggested dropping my case in the middle of it if I didn't come up with more money. I do not believe she had by best interests in mind. My ex got 90% of our household items, harley, boat, trailer, quads, dirt bikes, half my 401k. I got spousal support which is nowhere near what she mentioned in first meeting and doesn't factor well with all my ex got. Disappointed in her service and the outcome.
