Great advice for a pre-nuptial agreement

Nathan Cliber was great to work with putting together a pre-nuptial agreement. He was patient in explaining the law and options, provided great advice and guidance in how to approach it, and iterated quickly. He was upfront about costs, possible outcomes, and timelines. I'd happily work with him agai...n (although hope to never need too)

Excellent Attorney & Person

Words cannot adequately express how fortunate I feel to have found Nathan Cliber to handle my case. Not only was he an absolute pleasure to work with, but he was always upfront and direct about our chances of success and made sure I knew exactly what I was getting into if I wished to pursue certain a...ctions. He was considerate of my time (money), keeping me on track and focused when he could have chosen to sit back and let me ramble while he collected $100s. He approached sensitive topics with empathy and understanding. He somehow always knew when I needed gentle guidance and when I needed a firm reality check (which he did with professionalism and respect). Not only did I feel like he truly cared about me, my case, and my family, but I was confident he was giving me the best chances he possibly could. Nathan had my back every step of the way. If that wasn't enough, he was also so personable that talking to him felt like talking with a good friend I'd known for years. As I write this, we have made it through the largest hurdles and will likely soon be wrapping up and parting ways. As relieved as I am to have these battles almost over, I am also very sad that our time together is ending. I'll miss working with him, but it should go without saying that he will be the first I contact if I need legal assistance again. If you're looking, this is your guy. I couldn't have chosen better.

This is your guy.

Stop your search here. Nathan always knew exactly what to put into the responses/filings and his writing style is engaging, effective and efficient. He was able to quickly filter through my emotional garble to get at the facts, evidence and what matters to the court. He slays when in front ...of a judge, commands respect, isn't easily intimidated and always left me feeling embarrassed for opposing counsel. It was unfortunate that I needed an attorney but through the process and conversations with Nathan, I became so much more aware and informed about my rights and better equipped to deal with co parenting issues moving forward. He is definitely my go-to if I ever (knock on wood) find myself needing family law services again.

Fantastic lawyer

Nathan is very knowledgeable, patient and empathetic. He took the time to understand my case and very quickly came up with a plan of action and dealt with my case very efficiently. He was absolutely non-judgmental which is so hard to find. I always felt that he was on my side and will do the best for... me. All in all, he helped me when I thought my situation was hopeless and got me a divorce with a result that I didn't think was possible. Thanks Nathan!

A lawyer who gets it

I had a ... complicated divorce. It stretched across multiple engagements over a year, and Nathan really took time to understand my situation throughout. His counsel was not always what I wanted to hear, but it was ALWAYS what I needed to hear, and I had complete confidence in his ability to nego...tiate in my interests. In the end, we got things resolved efficiently, I felt well-represented, and it meant a lot that he took time to ask after my kids and genuinely showed he cared for me and my family in a difficult situation. I'll be taking my business to Nathan going forward (but hopefully not too soon LOL)

"I strongly endorse Mr. Cliber. Well versed in all aspects of family law and a stellar person, I have referred clients to Nate in the past knowing they would be in the best hands. I am fortunate to have known Nate since law school when we worked together in a clinical program. He has always impressed me with his commitment strong advocacy for his clients, his genuine compassion, and his high level of intelligence. I would call on Nate to cover my own cases if I had a need which is to say I trust him with my clients. This is the highest compliment another lawyer can offer."

"When given the opportunity to bring another lawyer into my firm, I sought out Nathan and invited him aboard. Having previously supervised his clinical work in a law school setting, I thought he would be a great fit for the work we do - excellent family law representation for people who are going through the most difficult times of their lives. Nathan is an excellent attorney and advocate, and I am proud to work beside him."
