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.

Compassionate, ethical, knowledgeable attorney
I hired Nathan hoping for a fair, collaborative, and compassionate divorce. Achieving that turned out to be trickier than I’d imagined and Nathan’s deep knowledge of family law and genuine desire for equitable outcomes made that possible. Nathan recognizes that divorce is just one moment is the grand...

Brilliant work
I hired Nathan to help me attain full custody of my daughter. After years of litigation between myself and my ex-wife using other legal services, Nathan helped execute a verbal agreement and transform that into court approved documents in record time and at minimal expense. I was beyond impressed w...

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...

Child custody case
I came to Nathan when other possibilities had been exhausted and I needed a lawyer. The nature of my case was extreme. The other side was willing to stop at nothing to see they got their way and was using the courts in an, at best, questionable manner. There was an enormous amount of work to be done....

Brilliant, Quick, Efficient, and Caring Attorney
Nathan, Ululani Akiona, and their team helped me resolve a multitude of issues in my extremely hairy parentage case. During my initial interview, Nathan and Ululani both grasped the whole scenario within minutes, and retained said information down to every last detail. They never forgot anything thr...
"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 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."
