Great lawyer, flexible and understanding of my special situation

Nathan is a great attorney who assisted me with my divorce. My situation had some unique challenges which complicated the process and Nathan was very understanding and helped me navigate the situation. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone going through a divorce, as he was a great a...ttorney and advisor throughout the entire process.

Thank you, Nathan, truly.

I want to truly thank Nathan for his help seeing me through a very challenging chapter in my and my child's life. Nathan's support was critical in navigating a highly contentious custody situation with an uncooperative ex-partner. Nathan helped guide me through the whole process which thankfully ende...d in favorable outcomes for myself and my child. I cannot say the process was easy nor if family law a clear-cut area where you will absolutely know going in what to expect. I will say Nathan was an invaluable partner in this process and helped me feel confident we were doing what was right for my child each step of the way. My ex-partner has a history of withholding, unilaterally making medical and educational decisions without informing you, as well as most recently filing baseless CPS claims against me. Needless to say, this created an extremely contentious situation. After years of trying to handle things amicably for the sake of my child, the situation reached a boiling point when the CPS claims were filed, which was an extremely scary experience. I feared losing access to my child and damage to our relationship. Nathan was instrumental in guiding us through this terrible chapter. He helped me successfully hold my ex in contempt of the parenting plan, address the unacceptable conduct around medical appointments, and ultimately gain significantly more parenting time with my kiddo. While the process was not easy, and family law can be complex with uncertain outcomes, Nathan served as an invaluable partner who helped me feel confident that you were doing what was best for my kiddo throughout.
