My best attorney experience

I have had attorney's in the past but Natalie was well versed in Oregon laws and was very helpful

Natalie Hedman

Natalie is passionate about the law helping her clients negotiate the confusing ins and outs of family law. She is honest in her assessments and explanations of a given situation. She kept my family and I informed of all proceedings, always made time for my questions or concerns and most importantly ...she won my case. In the world of family law it's hard to define "winning" and "losing" but for my specific case all objectives were reached with minimal expense. Great attorneys are hard to find and Natalie is one of the best I've encountered…

Best attorney around .....

I believe that Natalie is the best attorney around and she is so easy going and easy to open up and talk too as well. She listens to me and makes it easy for me to talk to her as my advocate as I was never one to like attorneys. My case was never the easiest and she put every effort into making it ...always be the best outcome we could make it. I never doubted Natalie and would use her again in a heart beat. I trusted her completely through out this whole process and so appreciate all of the time and patience she put into this case. Thank you again Natalie for everything and I truly think you are the best attorney around and would definitely recommend you to everyone I know!!!!

Best Family Law Attorney Ever!

Custody matters are so delicate and difficult to deal with, for me because I truly believe there are no winners. It was extremely difficult for me to accept that we were in a situation of legally battling over the life and wellbeing of the person most precious to me in the world! This was a task I co...uld not face alone, but could barely afford to seek representation for. Natalie Hedman was a savior in my hour of need. Not only was she affordable, but she helped me keep my sanity by her consistent communication and looking at all possible solutions, angles, and possible threats in my case. I actually felt that my attorney truly cared for what was in the best interest of my child and helped me to cover bases I wouldn't have even thought of. Each document filed and submitted I was able to be a part of and ask questions about and was kept fully informed of everything going on along the way. It was my own unique case and I felt I was looked after in way I was unable to do for myself, both because I was emotionally too raw during that time and because I just didn't know and understand family law and was not experienced at thinking about the future in such a case as this. It's been 2 years that my case has been over and I still see things unfold that I think "oh man, thank goodness for the custody order covering this." I think about Natalie Hedman often as my saving grace in my hour of need. I can't recommend this attorney highly enough!

Professionalism & Class

Natalie was wonderful and professional during my entire divorce proceedings. I /we were challenged by a very aggressive lawyer for my spouse at the time, yet Natalie displayed nothing short of immense class. She often brought in very useful insight and guidance to help achieve an amicable divorce be...tween my wife and I. Her professionalism and dedication to doing the right thing was very comforting during the process. Her ability to answer emails/phone calls in a timely manner was very appreciated. I believe that Natalie truly has her clients interests at heart and will do what she can to achieve those goals. Deanna, the legal assistant was tremendous as well. Being constantly informed as to what was the current state of the proceedings, followed by expected next steps was crucial for me and made my situation bearable. Thank you to you both!
