Excellent attorney

Nathan did a wonderful job working a very difficult divorce. Dealt skillfully with custody, military matters, and accusations of abuse and mental disorder. It was, understandably, a long process, but the end result was exactly the fair and equitable conclusion that we pursued from day one. As an a...dded bonus, he's an absolute delight to work with—he's a consummate professional with a fantastic attitude and a great sense of humor. Having a bit of sunshine in one of the worst experiences in my life was invaluable. Nathan has my utmost confidence and highest recommendation!

Great advocate & partner

I contacted Nathan Cliber on the recommendation of a few friends who had recently used him to help with their divorces, and found in him a lawyer who truly cares not only about my well-being, but that of my former spouse as well. I felt like we were partners in the process, working together to come t...o a fair outcome for both parties. Nathan is humble, responsive, and thoughtful in his communication. He actually cares about not wasting his clients' money, and would be very frank about costs. He's also just a nice guy. When you're spending a lot of time with your lawyer, you want them to be someone with humor and integrity, and Nathan has that in spades. Since first working with Nathan, I have recommended him to multiple friends, and would work with him again without hesitation. He's one of the good ones, and helped me make the best out of a really difficult situation.

Personable and Effective

Came into the office for consultation, not knowing my next steps. I had filed a variety divorce documentation to the court, but as an amateur I really did not have any idea what I was doing. Nathan quickly assessed my confusion and provided effective guidance and was able give me an estimation and ...time line for resolution. Upon hiring, he quickly communicated the next steps and provided effective dialogue through conclusion to all parties involved in the process.

Putting the "ease" back in "expertise"

Because Washington allows out of state divorces as long as at least one spouse is a resident of WA, I was able to file for divorce from my state of residence. Nathan helped guide me through the process with his proficiency, putting my mind at ease when I needed it most. His friendliness made it eas...y to approach him with questions, and he was always quick to respond even on opposite coasts! This process, regardless of how amiable both parties are, is never easy, but Nathan took away any additional stress so I could focus on other things. I'd definitely recommend him to others.

Compassionate and knowledgeable!

Nathan is a compassionate and informed divorce lawyer. While my divorce was fairly simple and straight forward, it was still a very emotional process for me. Nathan was empathetic, helpful and very on top of the whole process. He answered all my questions, gave me lots of options, made sure I knew wh...at the time line was and how it was all going to work. I was very happy with the services I received from Nathan and would highly recommend him!

"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."

Nathan is an excellent attorney and advocate, and I am proud to work beside him."
