About Nathan
Biography
As a family law attorney, much of my work is with people going through a divorce, or otherwise seeking help with ending a relationship. I try to assist my divorce clients with an eye towards sustainability and long-term wellbeing. In other words: I want to help you figure out not only how to bring one chapter of your life to a close, but how to begin the next one.
In addition to my divorce practice, I am interested in working with individuals and families in the early stages of relationships. There is a lot of space for creative and intentional work in constructing and defining family structures going in. Everyone’s family is different, and I am a big believer in broad and inclusive interpretations of what family means. Many of us identify strongly with the notion of investing in a family of choice, and I want to support that in any way I can.
Regardless of why you come to see me, I will listen without judgment to where you’ve been, what you’ve done, and how you’d like things to go. I will be honest with you about what I think is possible, what I think is likely, and what I think is wise. I will strive to understand your needs. Most importantly, I will do my utmost to work with you and think creatively about how we can move you from wherever you are now to wherever you want to be.

Wonderful Attorney
Mr. Cliber worked with me on a convoluted and chaotic case for Child Custody. He was able to clearly communicate with me and did so with professionalism and an empathetic demeanor. The opposing party tried to dissuade Mr. Cliber from working with me as a client and went so far as to threaten his ...

Would strongly recommend
Nathan was smart, professional, prepared, and very responsive. I felt very comfortable in his hands, and he helped make the entire process very straightforward.

Nathan is a great lawyer
I hired Nathan for a very complicated custody case. I knew nothing about him, but after our first meeting, I really felt like I had an advocate. And I was right. He is a great communicator, supportive, smart, and direct. He balances the ability to handle people who are undergoing profoundly emotional...

Excellence in Family Law
Nathan is an associate attorney but should not be just an associate (maybe it's because of length of time he has practiced). He's SMART, a good communicator, knows his stuff & did excellent work for me. Hire him!
Nathan Cliber's Lawyer Endorsements
"I've done several cases with Nathan. He's want one should want in a lawyer: knows the law, works to solve problems (not worsen them), and is a straight shooter. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"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."
"I endorse Nathan. He is brilliant, competent, and very knowledgable about the law. His writing skills are second to none."
"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."
"What else can I say but that Nate rocks. One of the most intelligent people I have ever met and I would hate to ever face him in court. You definitely want him on your side and not against you."
