This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly Recommended! The best in the Northwest.

It’s women like Natalie who make the world a better place. I hope you never have to feel the pain of investing years into a career, only to be fired for standing up to the men who sexually harassed/ discriminated, and then retaliated against you. If you do, I hope you have Natalie as a guiding light.... She is knowledgeable, logical, strategic, and (most importantly imo) honest/ trustworthy. She kept me well informed throughout the whole process, and I'm eternally grateful for all she’s done to help me move forward.

Employment / Age Discrimination Case

Natalie provided excellent, detailed, and honest consultation through to successful resolution of my employment / age discrimination case. She consistently listened to the context and my concerns, then was able to identify the key points of my case. I appreciated her candid assessment that demonstrat...ed her ability to relate to me as a person in addition to providing sound legal counsel. She understood my goals and walked me through the process and anticipated timeline step by step. Integrity, expertise, and clear communication are important to me. Natalie delivered on all counts through to a favorable outcome in a difficult matter. I trust and highly recommend her services.

Unemployment case

I had such an insecure unemployment case. I was so thrilled to get legal council that would not only take this on but dedicate so much time to make sure we won our case - and we did! I’m so happy about hiring Natalie.

Avvo Rating

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.
