Self centered and dishonest

Mr Holtey lied to me to suit his own purposes. AVOID this attorney. He did not review paperwork from the opposing attorney and it cost me money and harmed the relationship with my child.

advocated to harm a child

I was really concerned that Nate Holtey forcefully advocated to do something that was harmful to a child (a fully professional review by medical professionals had been done of the care, but Holtey apparently could not care less about the well-being of the young people whose lives he touches). Also, h...e refused to consult with another attorney, sloppy work indeed.

Meh

Lacking any creativity or original ideas and his office had a foul odor when I visited. I would not recommend if your life and child depend on it. And they do.

Happy with my lawyer!

Nate represented me in a limited role, consulting with me as I prepared for my divorce trial a few years back. He was professional and helpful. I would definitely recommend him if you need an attorney in any family law matter. I also know that among other family law lawyers he is well respected.

HIGHLY recommended!

After my ex-wife married a millionaire, I hired Nathan to help me end the alimony I’d been paying since the divorce. In my original divorce case, I’d had a lawyer who had purported to work for men, but he’d only been there for the paycheck and had gotten me a bad deal, one that required me to increas...e alimony payments as the years went on. When it came time to file for termination of alimony, I hired a lawyer to handle the case, but after three months of next to no progress, terrible communication, and misrepresenting the status of the case, I fired him. I researched several law firms and contacted a few. From the moment I spoke to Nathan, I knew he was the right guy for the job. I wanted someone who was an excellent communicator (incredibly important since his predecessor was almost impossible to get ahold of), understood the nuances of alimony termination, and was willing to fight for me. Nathan hit the nail on the head in every regard. He always responded to my calls and emails, and often times, he reached out to update me on the status of the case on his own. During the deposition, he caught my ex in several lies and used that to played hardball with her attorney. He got us a fair deal, and now I no longer pay alimony to the wife of a millionaire. Lastly, he understands that legal representation is expensive. Instead of shrugging at the cost and holding his hand out for more money, he let me do some of the heavy lifting. He encouraged me to participate in every aspect of the case and allowed me to save thousands by doing certain things myself. While no one wants to hire a lawyer and pay the fees associated with it, Nathan is worth the investment. In the long run, hiring him will save you money and headaches. I HIGHLY recommend Nathan at Holtey Law.
